The Constituent Assembly session was interrupted as Prime Minister Albin Kurti requested additional time to name a candidate for parliamentary speaker, further prolonging efforts to form a new government. This development comes amidst reports of intensifying political disputes between the ruling Vetëvendosje (LVV) movement and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) regarding power sharing. Adding to the political deadlock, opposition parties including the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) arrived at the Parliament building to find the plenary hall doors locked. In other news, Albania has responded to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's visit to Serbia, asserting that Kosovo cannot be compared to Ukraine and emphasizing the necessity for Serbia to recognize Kosovo. The Organization of Veterans of the Kosovo Liberation Army (OVL of KLA) also criticized Zelenskyy's statements made in Belgrade, deeming them anti-Kosovo.
