New government in Kosovo - Third term for Albin Kurti
The Kosovo parliament approved the formation of a new government led by Albin Kurti, marking his third term in office after his party's significant electoral win.
The Kosovo parliament has granted approval for the establishment of a new government headed by Albin Kurti, leader of the 'Vetëvendosje' movement, who is set to serve his third term as Prime Minister. This development follows his party's resounding success in the December elections, where they garnered 51% of the vote. Kurti's proposed government secured the confidence vote from 66 out of 120 parliamentary members, signaling a significant political shift in the region.
Kurti's latest government formation comes at a time when Kosovo has been grappling with a year of political instability under a caretaker administration. The new government comprises 19 ministries, and Kurti's leadership is seen as a beacon of hope for restoring stability and advancing governance after a tumultuous period. However, the vote was not without contention, as 49 representatives opposed the new government, including members of the 'Serbian List', which has strong ties to Belgrade.
During his presentation of the government's program, Kurti outlined key priorities and initiatives aimed at addressing pressing issues faced by the nation. This marks a pivotal moment for Kosovo, not only in terms of domestic governance but also amidst its complex relationship with Serbia and the broader implications for regional politics in the Balkans.
