⏳ Nominee

The country faces continued political uncertainty as parliamentary parties remain without a proposed candidate for president, with only eight days left until the nomination deadline. This comes despite the recent election of Vlora Citaku as Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, a resolved political appointment. Meanwhile, the Assembly has taken a significant step by approving a declaration regarding the Special Court's verdicts, amidst ongoing protests against the sentencing of former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders. New investigations are also unfolding, including the identification of remains linked to the 'Intellectuals Group' and a major corruption scandal involving high-ranking officials and organized crime, with an exclusive report detailing an arms smuggling file to Albania. Prime Minister Albin Kurti leads the government, while Albulena Haxhiu serves as Acting President. The governing party is Vetëvendosje, with the Democratic Party of Kosovo and Alliance for the Future of Kosovo forming key opposition.
