Serbia & Albin Kurti

Serbia: Serbia does not recognize Kosovo's independence, and both nations are urged to mend relations for EU membership bids. The political instability in Kosovo could indirectly affect these relations.

Albin Kurti: Albin Kurti, as Prime Minister and leader of Kosovo — Vetëvendosje, won the snap election but failed to secure a governing majority, leading to continued political deadlock. He is accused by opposition parties of seeking to impose full control.
