Albin Kurti has been reelected as the Prime Minister of Kosovo, marking the end of a prolonged political paralysis that persisted for one year. This development follows the legislative elections held on December 28, after Kurti's initial attempts to secure a parliamentary majority in February 2025 fell short. The parliament’s decision to reelect him was announced by the Speaker of the Assembly, Albulena Haxhiu, who confirmed the election of the new government for the Republic of Kosovo.

The elections were deemed essential not only for restoring a functioning government but also for addressing the pressing issues that have arisen during the year of technical governance led by Kurti. His previous tenure was marred by his inability to form a stable majority in the assembly, prompting a year-long government led by a technical cabinet. The reelection signals a critical moment for Kosovo as it seeks stability and direction after a lengthy period of uncertainty.

Kurti’s return to leadership raises expectations for his administration to effectively tackle pressing political and socio-economic challenges facing Kosovo. His party’s victory reflects the support for his agenda among the population, which includes efforts to bolster governance and address national concerns, particularly in relation to Kosovo’s status and relations with Serbia. The implications of this election are far-reaching as Kosovo navigates its position in the Balkans and strives to achieve both internal coherence and external recognition.
