European Union & Kosovo — Vetëvendosje

European Union: The European Union is a key international alliance that Kosovo aspires to join. The EU has urged Kosovo's politicians to end the political stalemate and create strong institutions to deliver reforms needed for membership, and the political instability has delayed the flow of EU funds.

Kosovo — Vetëvendosje: Kosovo — Vetëvendosje is the center-left party led by Albin Kurti. It won the most votes in the recent snap election but fell short of an absolute majority, necessitating coalition negotiations and prolonging the political crisis. The party's inability to secure a broader consensus for presidential elections has been a key factor in the repeated elections.
