The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, has called on parliamentary parties in Kosovo to cooperate in order to break the ongoing political deadlock in the country.

Speaking at a press conference in Pristina during her first visit to Kosovo, Kallas said that the European Union is ready to support Kosovo, but political leaders must put aside their differences and prioritize the country’s future.

“Forming a new Assembly and a new Government is essential for Kosovo’s stability, growth, and European future,” Kallas stated.

Kosovo has been unable to establish its new institutions even three months after the parliamentary elections held on February 9, as no party secured the necessary majority to govern alone.

Since then, MPs have convened 20 times in the Kosovo Assembly in attempts to constitute it—a necessary step toward forming the new government—but have repeatedly failed, as the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s party, Vetëvendosje, has not managed to secure the 61 votes needed for its candidate to be elected as Speaker of the Assembly.
