AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoSnap Election Pressure: Kosovo is heading for another snap parliamentary election on June 7 after parliament failed to elect a new president by the April 28 deadline, deepening the rift between Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s Vetëvendosje and the two main opposition parties, LDK and PDK—now the country faces its third snap vote since February 2025, with institutions still struggling to function while EU-linked reforms pile up. EU Candidate Status Push: During EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos’s first visit to Pristina, she urged Kosovo to keep reforms and normalization with Serbia moving, stressing “there can be no security in Europe without Kosovo,” while Kurti called for candidate status and accession talks to start. Campaign-Week Tensions: In Skenderaj, a ruling-party official Hysni Mehani accused the mayor of an assault ahead of the vote; police and prosecutors inspected the scene but no official account had been issued. Cost of Living: Kosovo’s inflation accelerated to 7.5% year-on-year in April, driven mainly by transport and energy-related prices.
