Are new elections a way out of the political stalemate in Kosovo?

The eighth attempt to constitute the new Kosovo Assembly failed on 29 April, since Albulena Haxhiu, nominated by Vetëvendosje (VV), did not receive sufficient votes to be elected as the Speaker. The next session is scheduled for 1 May, as, according to the rules, members of the Assembly are obliged to meet every 48 hours until the process is completed, and there is no limit on the number of such sessions.

However, there is a period of one month to elect the Speaker of the parliament, starting from the date of verification of the mandates. If this does not happen, the new elections will be called.
