Kosovo coalition talks fail again ahead of assembly session
A third meeting between Kosovo's LVV leader Albin Kurti and LDK chief Lumir Abdixhiku ended without an agreement on forming new state institutions.
Talks between Kosovo's Self-Determination Movement (LVV) leader Albin Kurti and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) chairman Lumir Abdixhiku have collapsed for a third time without an agreement on forming new state institutions.
The unannounced meeting at the Assembly followed an internal session of LDK parliamentarians, where lawmakers reiterated their demand for the presidency to ensure a balance of political power. Speaking after the discussions, Kurti confirmed the lack of progress, stating, "We have no news, as long as we have no agreement."
The continued deadlock leaves the executive unformed just ahead of the Assembly's scheduled constitutive session on Thursday.
