 Elected President

TBD

The parliament of Kosovo is due to hold an indirect election for president in 2026, with a second or third round of voting if necessary.

The constitution states that the presidential election must be held on or before 30 days prior to the end of the current president's term. This will be the sixth presidential election in Kosovo since 2008, when Kosovo declared its independence.

An initial attempt to hold the election took place on 5 March, but concluded without a successful vote due to a lack of parliamentary quorum. As the first round of voting has commenced, a 60-day constitutional deadline to elect a new president has officially been triggered; failure to do so within this timeframe will result in the dissolution of the Assembly and early parliamentary elections.[1] In response to the stalled process, the ruling Lëvizja Vetëvendosje submitted a request to the Constitutional Court of Kosovo seeking a temporary suspension of the election deadlines.[2]

On March 6 the incumbent president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani dissolved the Parliament and Kosovo is heading to new snap elections in 45 days.[3] The decree was met with strong criticism and immediate backlash from the ruling Vetëvendosje party, Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and legal experts, who argued the move was unconstitutional. Former President of the Constitutional Court, Enver Hasani, and other legal scholars accused Osmani of "usurping" parliamentary competencies, maintaining that the Assembly had a guaranteed 60-day window to elect a president before it could be dissolved.[4] Prime Minister Kurti rejected the decree as a "continuation of the agony" and warned of severe financial consequences for the state.[5] Following the decree, Vetëvendosje formally submitted a case to the Constitutional Court, seeking the complete annulment of the President's decision.[6]

Osmani held a meeting with party leaders to decide on the date of the new elections, a meeting which was boycotted by Kurti.[7]

Background

[edit]

The incumbent president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, took office on 4 April 2021[8] and her term is due to end on 4 April 2026.[9] Osmani would be eligible for re-election for a second and final five-year term in 2026.[10]

On 4 March 2026, the day the Assembly of Kosovo was expected to convene for the presidential election session, the ruling Vetëvendosje (LVV) parliamentary group officially proposed Glauk Konjufca as their candidate for the presidency.[11] Following the nomination, the President of the Assembly, Albulena Haxhiu, called an urgent press conference to address the latest developments.[12] At the time, no other political parties had put forward a candidate. In an attempt to ensure a competitive process, LVV offered the signatures of its own MPs to assist opposition parties in nominating an alternative candidate, expressing confidence that the political gridlock was surmountable.

However, LVV's unilateral nomination of Konjufca was met with strong opposition from the other parliamentary groups. The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) heavily criticized LVV's approach, stating that previous cross-party meetings were intended to find a unifying, consensual candidate. The LDK accused the ruling party of treating the election as a political race rather than an effort to reach a consensus, warning that this behavior risked missing constitutional deadlines and sending the country into early parliamentary elections.[13] The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) also refused to back the proposal; senior official Bedri Hamza declared that the PDK would not provide any votes for the president without a prior political agreement.[14] Furthermore, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) condemned the move, with representative Besnik Tahiri accusing the parliamentary majority of attempting an "institutional coup."[12]

The political deadlock escalated further into a public clash between the ruling party and the incumbent President, Vjosa Osmani. During a press conference, LVV parliamentary chief Arbërie Nagavci claimed that the party had offered Osmani 30 MP signatures to allow her to formally run as a candidate alongside Konjufca, but stated that Osmani had refused the offer.[15] This claim was promptly denied by the Presidency, which issued a statement calling Nagavci's assertion a "lie."[16] Despite the live denial from the President's office, Nagavci doubled down, publicly guaranteeing LVV's votes for Osmani's nomination if she wished to run.[17] Additionally, LVV spokesperson Arlind Manxhuka challenged Osmani's chief of staff to visit the party headquarters to collect the signatures, escalating the institutional rift.[18]

The Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, stated that she cannot call a session to elect the president without having at least two candidates.[19] Haxhiu warned that if no second candidate emerges, Kosovo could enter a constitutional crisis, as the constitution does not specify what happens if the president is not elected 30 days before the end of Osmani's current term.[20]

Proposed constitutional amendments

[edit]

On 5 March, 2026, which marked the final day legally permitted to hold the presidential election session, the political deadlock took an unexpected turn. Citing the ongoing failure of the parliament to elect a president and the looming threat of an institutional crisis, incumbent President Vjosa Osmani submitted a proposal to the Assembly of Kosovo to amend the Constitution of Kosovo.[21] These amendments, which had been originally drafted back in 2011 by the Commission for Constitutional Amendment, aimed to completely alter the country's electoral system so that the president would be elected directly by a popular vote of the citizens, rather than by a parliamentary vote.[22] Osmani publicly urged all political parties to back the initiative to overcome the political stalemate.

The ruling Vetëvendosje (LVV) party immediately supported Osmani's initiative. Arbërie Nagavci, the head of the LVV parliamentary group, expressed full backing for the transition to a direct election, stating that it would increase the democratic legitimacy of the presidency and strengthen institutional stability.[23] The proposal was hastily forwarded to the parliamentary Committee on Legislation, which approved the amendments with six votes in favor from LVV members and two votes against from the opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK).[24] PDK representatives strongly criticized the move, with MP Përparim Gruda calling the rapid procedure unconstitutional and arguing against the sudden revival of the outdated 2011 drafts.[25]

Following the committee's approval, an urgent plenary session of the Assembly was scheduled for the evening of 5 March at 20:00 to vote on the constitutional changes.[26] However, amending the Constitution of Kosovo is a highly complex process that requires a double two-thirds majority: it necessitates the support of at least 80 out of the 120 total MPs, as well as at least 14 out of the 20 MPs representing non-majority communities.[27] This stringent constitutional requirement made the passage of the amendments highly unlikely. The Serb List, a political party representing the Kosovo Serb minority which holds 10 of the reserved non-majority seats, reportedly informed diplomatic sources that they would not vote in favor of the changes.[28] The Assembly of Kosovo failed to vote on the proposed constitutional amendments, as only 93 members of the Assembly were present in the chamber, which was insufficient for proceedings.[29]

Electoral system

[edit]

Initially, a candidate is required to receive at least 80 votes, equivalent to two-thirds of the 120 members of the Assembly, in order to be elected.[10] However, if no candidate succeeds during the first two rounds, a third round is held between the top two candidates of the second round, and the requirement is reduced to a simple majority of 61 votes.[10][30] If the third round also does not produce a successful candidate, the Assembly is dissolved, with new elections to take place within 45 days.[10]

Article 86 states that the election of the President shall take place no later than 30 days before the end of the current president’s term of office.[10] Additionally, Article 82 also states that the Assembly will dissolve if they do not elect a President within 60 days from the date of the beginning of the president’s election procedure.[31] With the inaugural voting session having convened on 5 March, this 60-day countdown has been officially activated.[1]

Following the unsuccessful parliamentary session on 5 March due to a lack of quorum, Lëvizja Vetëvendosje formally petitioned the Constitutional Court of Kosovo to impose a temporary measure suspending these strict constitutional deadlines until the court issues a final judgment.[32] The party argued that the intentional obstruction of the quorum by members of parliament who refused to participate constitutes a constitutional violation. In their request, they asked the court to mandate that all deputies have a binding obligation to participate in the presidential vote—whether voting in favor, against, or abstaining—to prevent the country from being forced into early legislative elections due to political blockades.[33]

  • On 23 February 2026, Kosovar-American businessman Harry Bajraktari (born Hajdar Bajraktari)[50][51] denied media reports claiming that he was lobbying to become President of Kosovo. He described the allegations as untrue and stated that he continues to support President Vjosa Osmani and has not expressed interest in running for president.[52]
  • On 25 February 2026, Murat Jashari of the Jashari family stated that neither he nor any other family member is interested in becoming President of Kosovo.[53] Bekim Jashari also reiterated this position, stating that he had nothing to add to Murat Jashari’s remarks and dismissing any speculation about a presidential candidacy.[54]

Results

[edit]

Lawmakers from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) walked out of the parliamentary session, preventing the quorum required to elect the new President of Kosovo.[58] Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) announced it would not participate in the voting process. LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku stated that Kosovo was heading toward a new election cycle, effectively ensuring the lack of a required quorum.[59] With the opposition parties boycotting the vote, Vetëvendosje and its coalition partners were the only deputies left in the parliamentary session, barely meeting the minimum quorum required to hold the session.[60] However, since the quorum to elect a president wasn't met in the Kuvendi, the session that was intended to elect the President of Kosovo was suspended.[61]

Aftermath

[edit]

Following the unsuccessful first round of voting on 5 March 2026 in the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, where a lack of quorum prevented any ballots from being cast due to the boycott and walkout by opposition parties including the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), and Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), incumbent President Vjosa Osmani issued a decree on 6 March 2026 to dissolve the Assembly, paving the way for snap parliamentary elections to be held within 45 days.[63] This decision came despite the fact that, according to Article 86 of the Constitution of Kosovo, the presidential election process allows for a 60-day period starting from the initiation of the procedure on 5 March 2026—meaning until 4 May 2026—for the Assembly to elect a president through up to three rounds of voting, with the requirement of at least two candidates and a quorum of 80 deputies in the initial rounds dropping to 61 in the final one if necessary.[4][64]

With President Vjosa Osmani facing intense backlash and widespread accusations of orchestrating the deadlock. The crisis was triggered when the first voting round failed to secure the necessary quorum of 80 participating MPs, a constitutional requirement for the process to be legally valid. According to the Constitution of Kosovo, the occurrence of the first round of voting officially initiates a strict 60-day deadline during which the Assembly must successfully elect a new head of state.[5] If the parliament fails to elect a president within this two-month timeframe, the country is legally mandated to hold snap parliamentary elections. Critics argued that instead of allowing political parties the constitutionally guaranteed 60 days to negotiate and secure the quorum, president Osmani controversially issued a decree to dissolve the Assembly on 6 March, just one day after the initial vote. This abrupt decision caused an uproar, as legal experts and political opponents quickly pointed out that the President had no constitutional authority to dissolve the parliament before the mandatory 60-day period had expired.[4]

Legal scholars and political figures quickly positioned Osmani as the primary culprit behind the institutional collapse. Enver Hasani, a professor of law and the former President of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, publicly condemned the President's actions, stating that Osmani had illegally "usurped the competencies" of the Assembly and violated the country's highest legal act.[4] This legal interpretation was strongly supported by the former Deputy Minister of Justice, Blerim Sallahu, who declared that Osmani's decree to dissolve the parliament was "clearly unconstitutional," arguing that she had bypassed democratic procedures and forced the country into an unnecessary crisis.[65] The ruling Vetëvendosje party, led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, launched a fierce campaign against Osmani's decree. Kurti categorically rejected the prospect of new elections, stating that going to the polls would not provide a solution but would only serve as a "continuation of the agony." He maintained that there could be no legitimate talk of new elections until the Constitutional Court had the final say on the legality of the President's move.[66] Furthermore, Kurti accused Osmani of causing immense financial and diplomatic damage to the state, warning the public that the premature dissolution of the Assembly made it impossible to ratify vital international agreements worth 121 million euros.[67]

The political confrontation escalated further when President Osmani attempted to defend her decree by making vague claims about the "dangerous goals" of certain political actors. Prime Minister Kurti immediately responded to these claims, while the Minister of Education and senior Vetëvendosje official, Arbërie Nagavci, publicly challenged the President, demanding that Osmani "state the first and last names of who these dangerous people are" rather than trying to intimidate the public with ambiguous phrasing.[68][69] In an effort to clarify the situation and demonstrate his commitment to resolving the crisis legally, Kurti openly discussed the behind-the-scenes negotiations he had previously conducted with opposition leaders Bedri Hamza and Lumir Abdixhiku regarding the presidential quorum, with his office repeatedly emphasizing that Vetëvendosje had respected the Constitution completely throughout the entire process.[70][71] As a definitive sign of their boycott against what they viewed as an illegal power grab, Prime Minister Kurti and the ruling party flatly refused President Osmani's invitation to attend a consultative meeting aimed at setting a date for the new snap elections.[72]

Despite the boycott by the country's largest party, Osmani proceeded with the consultations with the remaining opposition parties. Following these meetings, AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj suggested that the snap elections could potentially take place on the 5, 12, or 19 of April.[73][74] However, the prospect of forcing the electorate back to the polls was met with heavy criticism from other political figures as well; the leader of the New Kosovo Alliance, Behgjet Pacolli, strongly condemned the push for new elections, describing the situation as an absolute "mockery of the citizens."[75] In response to the organized boycott by the opposition MPs which initially prevented the quorum, the head of the Vetëvendosje parliamentary group, Arbërie Nagavci, accused the opposition of deliberately sabotaging the process with the explicit tendency to send the country into early elections.[76][77] Concurrently, the government launched a full legal counter-offensive to halt the President's actions. Minister of Justice Albulena Haxhiu officially appealed to the Constitutional Court, urgently requesting the suspension of the election deadline and asking the court to issue a measure that would legally compel all absent MPs to attend the sessions and fulfill their constitutional duty to vote for the president.[78][79] Ultimately, Vetëvendosje formally submitted a comprehensive case to the Constitutional Court, demanding the complete annulment of Osmani's decree to dissolve the Assembly, arguing that the court must review all constitutional aspects of the case to prevent what the ruling party described as a severe abuse of presidential power.[6][80]
