Kosovo’s political landscape remains unstable as President Vjosa Osmani has officially dissolved the parliament following the failure of coalition talks to establish a new government. This marks the second unsuccessful attempt by political factions to form a majority, deepening the ongoing deadlock that has paralyzed legislative processes. The president’s decision sets the stage for early elections, which are expected to take place within the next 45 days, aiming to restore political clarity and governance functionality.

Key challenges contributing to the impasse include:

  • Party divisions: Intense rivalries and ideological differences among major parties have hindered effective coalition-building.
  • Ethnic tensions: Disagreements persist over minority rights and territorial matters.
  • External pressures: Influence from regional and international actors complicates negotiations.
