As the certification of the results and the start of official contacts between political parties are awaited, the signals emerging suggest that negotiations will not be easy.

In this situation, one of the main questions is how much internal divisions could affect the parties’ ability to reach an agreement on forming the institutions.

It was precisely on this topic that Professor Enver Bytyçi spoke to “Bota sot,” saying that the unification of the political scene in Kosovo is, unfortunately, a “mission impossible.”

According to him, the opposition parties have lined up as a bloc and are obstructing the winner of three electoral processes, solely because of ego and personal grudges.

“The unification of Albanian politics in general, and the unification of politics in Kosovo as well, appears to be a mission impossible. Historically, those who govern seek unification in order to create support for their governance, their program and their projects. Regardless of the fact that the projects, such as in Albania, involve the plundering of territory and national wealth. The opposition turns into a bloc, for example in Kosovo, to prove to those in power that ‘they cannot govern without the opposition’! If there have been three parliamentary elections, they have happened because of the ego of politics, in order to ‘prove’ to the winner that he cannot govern Kosovo alone. So, to demonstrate strength, ego and spite!

“Only among Albanians does it happen that when someone wins, resentment toward them increases. Meanwhile, in practical terms, when someone is strong in Albania, they are respected, the way is cleared for them with submission, and so on. Everywhere in the democratic world, dignity and integrity are demonstrated through work, results, achievements and trust. But in an agreement and coalition with the majority of Albanians, this integrity and this dignity seem to have taken another direction. There are many tendencies for this to be demonstrated through force, obscurantism, boycott and the blocking of the formation of institutions,” the professor said.

Bytyçi further commented on Kusari-Lila’s statement regarding the possibility of a coalition or compromise between LVV and the opposition.

In his analysis, he spoke about the scenarios that may await the country in the coming days, the progress of the creation of the institutions, and the election of the president. He also emphasized the need for the president of the state to be a non-partisan and unifying figure.

“Now let us come to the statement by Mimoza Kusari-Lila, who noted that a possible coalition or agreement between the winner (Vetëvendosje) and the losers (the opposition) after the June 7 elections is almost impossible because of the existence of radical groups within the opposition parties. This picture seriously endangers the formation of the institutions, that is, the election of the head of state in Kosovo, for which consensus between the majority and the opposition is needed. The results of June 7 show that the sovereign agrees that Albin Kurti should govern, but does not agree that he should also have the head of state as the ‘property’ of the winning party. So, the sovereign once again voted for compromise, just as in the December 28, 2025 elections. What is expected to happen? How can this difficult situation be overcome? How should the political parties behave? These questions are difficult to answer.

“But if valid advice had to be given, then I would say that the opposition should determine the president. But not through political bargaining, by favoring one or two candidacies. Not according to the formula that the name I have is the chairman or deputy chairman of the party that accepts the compromise and no one else. This is diktat, and if the head of state is determined on the basis of these principles, then he is compromised and one-sided from the moment he is accepted as a candidate, even before being elected president of the country. I do not believe in such solutions, because instead of strengthening the institution of the president, they damage it and turn that person either into a radical opponent of the government and parliament, or into a mannequin in the hands of the opposition. This risks damaging this institution. Kosovo does not need such a president, just as it does not need a puppet president who merely satisfies the appetites of the head of the majority. The president must be impartial, objective, clear in his decisions, and steady and consistent in his positions. Otherwise, the institutional role and balance are lost, which causes incalculable damage to the state and the future of Kosovo.”

According to the professor, the only way out of this situation is for the opposition to come forward with several names, which would then be reviewed in the Assembly before proceeding to a vote.

“Under these conditions there is only one solution: The opposition as a whole, or one of the two major opposition parties, should put forward many candidacies, at least four or five, and on this basis discuss with the majority which of them meets the basic criterion of preserving the balance between the institutions of the state, and it is precisely for that candidate that parliament should vote. There are enough such candidates in the ranks or among the supporters of the opposition, or of one of the two major opposition parties.”

In the end, he called on the political parties to avoid a black stain on their history and choose compromise, without pushing the state toward boycott.

“Internal divisions, as well as those between the opposition and the majority, must be avoided. Whoever clings to ego and personal interests in order to damage the state and the Republic will bear historical responsibility. The majority and the opposition should spare themselves the black stain in their political history of boycotting the state, for which tons of Albanian blood have been shed! Any political figure who places his interest above the interest of the state and of Kosovo is destined to fail and be covered in shame. This does not happen anywhere in the world. It does not happen even in states that are internationally recognized. If it happens in Kosovo, which is an independent republic not fully recognized and not a member of the UN, the damage caused to it is many times greater than in UN member states. It is a signal of the devaluation of independence and statehood. Those who have fought with their minds or with weapons for the freedom and state of Kosovo cannot allow themselves to call into question the present fate and the future of the state! Otherwise, we will have to say that these politicians are false patriots!” Enver Bytyçi concluded for “Bota sot”.
