PRISTINA – The new Assembly of Kosovo has still not been constituted as of Monday, 10 August. The deadline set by the Constitutional Court to finish the process passed on 7 August, but the Self-Determination Party (LVV), headed by the caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti, announced it would continue consultations with other parties to complete the parliament’s formation.
The legal framework does not proscribe what happens if the deadline to form the parliament passes, KoSSev reports.
Kosovo held a parliamentary election on 7 June 2026, the third such election in less than two years. In December 2025, LVV won the majority of seats, but it failed to reach a compromise with opposition parties to elect a new president, which requires a qualified majority in the parliament. This lead to another snap election.
LVV once again emerged victorious in June, winning 53 out of 120 seats, but the political deadlock over the election of the president has continued, also affecting the formation of the parliament and the election of a new speaker.
Frustration with the situation led to tensions in parliament on Saturday. After Kurti announced he would take more time for negotiation, opposition MP Time Kadrijaj threw eggs at him. The video of the incident was widely shared in the international media.
