The Assembly of Kosovo will meet this Sunday morning (October 26) in an extraordinary plenary session, which has on its agenda the election of the country’s new government. Despite the fact that the parliamentary elections were held on February 9, Kosovo still has not formed the new institutions and is with the Government in office.
It is expected that the Prime Minister in office, Albin Kurti, as the head of the Vetëvendosje Movement, which emerged as the first force in the February 9 elections, will present the composition of the new government, but it is not yet known whether he has secured the necessary number of votes in the parliament.
Kurti, in order to form the new government, must secure the votes of 61 deputies, but if this does not happen, the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani has warned that if there is no agreement on a new government, she will invite all parties for consultations, if any of them can create a majority.
According to the 2020 decision of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, the second candidate for prime minister can also be from the second largest party, in this case, the Democratic Party of Kosovo. If the creation of a government is still not achieved, the president announces the holding of new elections, which must be held within a period of 40 days.
