Kurti Wins Big, But Can He Rule Kosovo Alone?

Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s party has won a clear victory in Kosovo’s snap election. With most votes counted, his Self-Determination party secured nearly 50% of the vote. This strong result signals a possible end to a political deadlock. The impasse had paralyzed the government for months. However, it remains unclear if Kurti can form a new cabinet alone. He may still need to build a coalition with smaller parties to gain a governing majority. The election was called after the previous government collapsed. Kurti’s main rivals, the Democratic League of Kosovo, trailed far behind in the vote count.
