Kosovo Parliamentary Election Albin Kurti 2025: Landslide Victory Ends Months of Stagnation

The electorate has delivered a clear verdict to end the political paralysis gripping the nation. According to preliminary results from the Kosovo parliamentary election Albin Kurti 2025, the ruling Vetevendosje party has secured a landslide victory, paving the way for a third term for the nationalist leader.

Decoding the Numbers of Kosovo's New Political Landscape

With 90% of the votes counted, Albin Kurti's party stands at 50.8%. This is a decisive lead over the opposition parties, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) at 20.98% and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) at 13.89%. After the failed polls on February 9, this second election of the year was a test of public patience.

While Vetevendosje might still fall slightly short of a solo majority in the 120-seat National Assembly, support from ethnic minority parties—who hold 20 guaranteed seats—is expected to make coalition-building straightforward. Kurti hailed the result as the greatest victory in the country's history.

Billions at Stake: The Economic and Diplomatic Agenda

The incoming government faces an immediate financial imperative. Kosovo has missed out on hundreds of millions in European Union funds during the deadlock. Combined with World Bank agreements, the total aid package is estimated to exceed €1bn. However, unlocking these funds requires stable governance and a pragmatic approach to foreign policy.

International allies, including the US and the EU, are looking for a shift in Kurti's dogmatic stance regarding the Serb minority and relations with Serbia. Tensions in the north have previously triggered punitive measures from Brussels, which were only recently slated for removal.
