GRKosovo's acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party, Vetevendosje (VV), and the opposition Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) have reached an agreement to support the election of a new president, aiming to end nearly two years of political stalemate. The proposed candidate, Bekim Sejdiu, a former diplomat and law professor, would need support from minority parties to secure the required 80 votes. While VV won the most seats in a recent snap election, they lack the two-thirds majority needed to directly appoint a president. The delay in forming a stable government has hindered Kosovo's efforts to meet EU accession criteria, which require institutional stability and reform. The agreement marks progress toward resolving the political impasse but leaves uncertainty over the timeline for legislative actions.
