Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti wins the tension background with Brussels and Washington – Politico Europe

“Everything went according to plan,” Kurti said after the election. “We have won and this is a confirmation of a good, prosperous and democratic government.”

Previously, Serbia province, Kosovo, declared independence in 2008 after a brutal civil war in the 90s between Serbs and Albanians in the former Yugoslavia. Self -determination (VVL) was the first country to serve its term in four years in the government in the capital after winning 50.3 percent of the vote in 2021.

However, VVL will now have to find a coalition partner if it hopes to continue in the power-which can be a challenge, given the Kurt’s Proalban nationalism and the need for compromises to violate Kosovo’s international isolation.

Not to mention the prime minister’s salty language regarding the opposition, whom he described as “monsters.”

“There has never been any more war than against this government,” Kurti said after the election. “With oligarchs who give money without accounting and with the opposition, which make deals even with the devil against our government. Although they have lost again, they will remain opposition because they do not want the best for either the state or the people. “

Since 2021, Kurti has been pressing the community of ethnic Serbs in the north of Kosovo, which numbers up to 50,000 people from Kosovo’s 1.6 million population to accept the authority of a naval. This includes the suspension of Serbian banks and parallel management institutions in the enclave and forcing the Serbs to put Kosovar registration plates on their vehicles.
