Kosovo is in political turmoil after Albin Kurti attempted to retain power by proposing a new government without himself as prime minister. Opposition parties rejected the plan and are pushing for new elections, which could result in two votes within a short period. This instability erodes public trust in institutions and raises doubts about Kosovo’s ability to deliver on EU integration and reforms. The crisis highlights how personality-driven power struggles can paralyze governance and weaken democratic legitimacy. Observers warn that prolonged uncertainty could fuel populism and undermine the rule of law. The EU is closely monitoring developments, given Kosovo’s strategic role in regional stability.
