The Vetëvendosje Movement (LVV) has taken the next step to complete the process of constitution of new institutions in Kosovo, officially proposing Glauk Konjufca as a candidate for the position of the President of the Republic. This proposal comes in an effort to unblock the political stalemate and avoid the return of the country to early elections.
According to the official announcement of the winner of the elections of December 28, 2025, Konjufca’s candidacy follows unsuccessful attempts to find a consensual figure with the opposition parties. The ruling party appreciates the political weight of Konjufce, highlighting his profile as a deputy in seven legislatures and as the second most voted person in the history of the Republic of Kosovo.
In a move to ensure the smooth running of the process, which Constitutionally requires the presence of at least 80 deputies in the hall during voting, Vetëvendosje has called on the opposition bloc to present a candidate of its own. Vetëvendosje has also provided the necessary signatures from its parliamentary group to support the opposition’s proposal, thus aiming to legitimize the democratic contest.
The representatives of the LVV emphasize that the vote of the citizens was a clear message against the blocking of the state, which paved the way for the rapid formation of the Assembly and the Government. Despite repeated invitations for dialogue and, according to LVV, “in the absence of concrete proposals from the opposition, the governing entity remains convinced that the challenge of electing the head of state is passable and the elections are avoidable”.
The fate of this essential process for the stability of the country is expected to be determined in the parliamentary session scheduled to be held this evening. The election of the President remains the last link to completely close the new institutional architecture resulting from the December elections.
