Integration experts stress that advancing toward the European Union and joining international structures absolutely requires a climate of stability and functioning institutions.
Meanwhile, this week too is closing without an agreement among political parties on the formation of new state bodies, plunging Kosovo into a period of uncertainty with paralyzed mechanisms. This prolonged deadlock is being perceived as a powerful brake on the country’s journey toward the European family and securing additional recognitions. Although the Foreign Ministry insists that diplomatic work has not been interrupted, analysts warn that without internal consolidation, any progress on the global stage is blocked.

“This ongoing absence is stalling progress on the international agenda. It serves as a tool through which we, as a state, can demonstrate to the EU our seriousness on the integration path and our ability to be equal partners,” said Arbëresha Loxha, executive director of GLPS.
Despite this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora stands by its line of action. In a written statement, the institution underlines that the diplomatic apparatus is in constant motion and operates in several directions simultaneously.
The ministry clarifies that diplomatic initiatives are passing through various stages of coordination and that communication with international allies remains continuous to secure support and new recognitions.
Regarding membership in international forums, the ministry is continuing efforts in organizations and mechanisms in the political, economic, and security fields, as well as in the spheres of culture, education, and health. According to this department, these procedures are at different stages of consultation, and every move is made depending on the circumstances and external support.
The swift establishment of the new legislature and executive, according to experts on European affairs, is essential to avoid losing more than 100 million euros coming from the European Union’s Growth Plan. Any delay in forming the government risks blocking these vital financial resources, which are closely tied to strict timelines and reforms imposed by Brussels.
After the first deadline in June passed without being fully respected, with only half of the required reforms implemented, Kosovo now has time only until the end of the year to make its institutions functional. Without an immediate agreement, the country faces the concrete risk of permanently losing the sum of over 100 million euros from the European Union’s coffers.
