Kosovo opposition official Ardian Gjini has accused acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti of constitutional violations following delays in convening parliament.

Tensions in Kosovo's political crisis escalated as opposition figures accused acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti of breaching constitutional boundaries. Ardian Gjini, an official from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, sharply criticized the decision to schedule the parliament's constitutive session for September 9, claiming the delay exceeds constitutional deadlines and accusing Vetëvendosje of seeking total institutional control.

The remarks follow the Democratic League of Kosovo's refusal to enter a coalition government, choosing instead to relinquish executive and legislative claims to leave full governance responsibility with Kurti's party. Meanwhile, media commentary continues to scrutinize Kurti’s nationalist rhetoric against his record in office, raising broader questions about institutional stability amid the ongoing parliamentary standstill.
