With the certification of the results by the Central Election Commission, the electoral process came to an end, but the most crucial stage of the political scene has just begun: the formation of new institutions.
The focus has now shifted entirely to talks between political forces, which will determine the composition of the next executive and the long-term stability of the country.

In a fragmented parliament, the dilemma remains open whether parties will overcome their differences to form a governing majority, or the country will once again sink into institutional deadlock.
Analyst Skënder Kapiti spoke to “Bota sot” about what the meetings between parties might bring.
He stressed at the outset that the most favorable option is a union between the Vetëvendosje Movement and the Democratic League of Kosovo, arguing that such a coalition would lift the state out of institutional gridlock. However, according to him, everything will be determined more by the LDK’s stance than by its internal dynamics.
“The best and most realistic way to end the institutional crises in Kosovo is a governing agreement between LVV and LDK. But this depends to a large extent on the LDK, which is facing a severe crisis produced by its political elite, both the traditional one and the new generation with Abdixhiku and Osmani,” he said.
Kapiti did not hesitate to sharply criticize the opposition and the way it is behaving toward Prime Minister Kurti.
He assessed that the opposition gives the impression of standing closer to the Serbian List than to Vetëvendosje.
“The entirety of the political opposition in Kosovo is going through a deep democratic and patriotic crisis, from which no alternative in the state’s interest emerges. The opposition leaves the feeling that it is more of one mind with the Serbian List and Belgrade than with Kurti and LVV. Nevertheless, Kurti himself must show tolerance, because in a democracy, breaking the deadlock is also achieved through reconciliation, consensus, and coalitions. Something must be accepted in service of the national interest,” he said.
In this context, Kapiti hopes that LDK and LVV will find common ground, so that a presidential candidacy from outside party ranks and with national integrity can then be advanced.
“It would be positive for LVV and LDK to reach an agreement where the post of president is entrusted to the LDK, while the candidate comes from outside politics, a trusted figure and an emblem of national unity—traits that cannot be found in any current LDK deputy, a party already exhausted and politically spent,” Skënder Kapiti concluded for “Bota sot”.
