Presidential elections: 'Kosovo worst crisis since the war'

Kosovo experiences an unprecedented constitutional crisis after three consecutive elections failed to result in agreement on a new president. The parliament remains deadlocked, with tensions escalating during a chaotic scene where an MP threw an egg at Prime Minister Albin Kurti. Despite winning the June election, Kurti refuses to form a government until a presidential candidate is agreed upon. The opposition, led by Vlora Citaku of the PDK, accuses Kurti of violating the constitution by delaying parliamentary formation beyond the legal deadline. Meanwhile, some within Kurti’s party support his stance, urging dialogue over immediate elections. Experts warn that further delays could lead to another dissolution of parliament, deepening political instability.
