Kosovo's acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has begun consultations with parliamentary party leaders in an attempt to unblock the process of creating new institutions. So far, only the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku, has accepted the invitation to meet, while the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo have rejected it.
LDK spokesperson Besian Mustafa confirmed that the meeting between Kurti and Abdixhiku will take place tomorrow at 18:00, at the premises of the Kosovo Assembly. The meeting is expected to focus on opportunities for unblocking the political situation and the formation of new institutions.
Meanwhile, PDK chairman Bedri Hamza responded to Kurti's invitation with a letter, thanking him for the initiative, but reiterating that his party will continue to remain in opposition.
"I thank you for the invitation to the meeting. Referring to our meeting on July 10, 2026 and the public position of the PDK, I reconfirm that, in the current circumstances, our position is to continue to remain in opposition," Hamza writes in the letter to Kurti.
The PDK leader adds that he expects the Vetëvendosje Movement, as the winner of the elections, together with other parliamentary parties, to reach an agreement on the creation of new Kosovo institutions.
Even the leader of AAK, Ardian Gjini, has rejected Kurti's invitation, stating that he sees "no reason" for a meeting in the proposed format.
In his response, Gjini emphasizes that the Alliance has no interest in becoming part of the new government, but is willing to help in the creation of institutions only if the Vetëvendosje Movement accepts AAK's six demands.
These include accepting the American gas project as a strategic priority, building a new coal-fired power plant, increasing the VAT threshold from 30 thousand to 100 thousand euros for small businesses, abolishing the tax on cultivated agricultural land, financing pending infrastructure projects, and creating a fund of 800 million to 1 billion euros for capital investments in Pristina.
"The Alliance sees no reason at all for us to meet in this format," Gjini concludes in his letter.
The responses from the three parties indicate that, at least for the time being, Albin Kurti will only hold consultations with the LDK, while the PDK and AAK remain outside the negotiation process, making it even more difficult to reach a consensus on the formation of Kosovo's new institutions.
