| Constitution and law |
As a democratic republic, Kosovo implements an open list proportional representation method that allocates seats in the parliament according to the proportion of votes garnered by political parties in a multi-party system. [3] The parliament is composed of 120 representatives with a term of four years and 20 seats reserved for national minorities. [4] [5] The constitution codifies integral democratic principles, stipulating that voting rights are equal, free, and conducted through secret ballot. [6] [4] To ensure proportional representation, the Sainte-Laguë method is employed for seat distribution, contingent upon an electoral threshold of 5%. [7]
According to the constitution, parliamentary elections in Kosovo are mandated to be conducted no later than 30 days and no earlier than 45 days prior to the expiration of the parliament's mandate. [8] On 31 July 2024, President Vjosa Osmani formally invited the leaders of political parties to a consultative meeting regarding the scheduling of the upcoming elections. [9] [10] In her invitation, Osmani underscored that, in accordance with the constitution and the electoral code, the elections must take place between 26 January and 16 February 2025. [9] [11] Opposition figures, including Lumir Abdixhiku of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Ramush Haradinaj of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Memli Krasniqi of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), advocated for elections on 26 January, while Mimoza Kusari-Lila of the Alternativa proposed delaying the elections to 9 or 16 February, citing logistical concerns related to the post-holiday period. [12] [13] Prime Minister and leader of the Self-determination Movement (LVV) Albin Kurti did not attend the consultation due to a prior commitment. [14] Concluding, on 16 August, Osmani announced that the elections would be scheduled for 9 February 2025. [15] [16] [17]

The application period for political parties seeking certification and submission of candidate lists for the 2025 elections spanned from 1 September to 11 December 2024. [18] A total of 28 political entities submitted applications, including 20 political parties, five coalitions, two civil initiatives, and one independent candidate, with 1,280 candidates nominated for the elections. [18]
On 23 December 2024, the Serb List was not certified by the KQZ for participation in the elections. [19] [20] The decision was based on remarks made by the party's leader Zlatan Elek during the presentation of the electoral list, which KQZ deemed to be nationalistic in nature. [21] The party said it would appeal the decision, calling it “institutional and political violence” against the Serb minority. [22]
Election campaigns in Kosovo are regulated to initiate 30 days before the scheduled election date and must conclude on the day immediately preceding the election day. [23]
On August governing parties of Vetëvendosje, Guxo! and Alternativa announced that they would once again run inside the same electoral list, with incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti leading the list. [24] Although initial reports suggested that Guxo! and Alternativa preferred a formal coalition. [25]
There has been some infighting within Guxo! against their leaders Donika Gervalla and Faton Peci, both of whom are ministers within the Government. On 9 December 2024 Guxo! branch in Ferizaj announced it would close itself that day, citing discontent with its leaders. [26] On 12 December Guxo! branch in Peja called for voters to boycott the election following the publication of the deputy list, which according to them broke party rules by not including party name on the list. [27]
On 27 March 2024 the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) announced that Bedri Hamza, mayor of South Mitrovica and Former Minister of Finance, would be its candidate for Prime Minister. [28] The move to nominate Hamza has been speculated as an attempt to focus the campaign on the Economy, which has seen stagnation under the new government. [29] On November 3 during the convention of PDK, Hamza announced their slogan would be "Kosova mundet më mirë"(Kosovo can do better). Hamza also announced his plans and projects for governing Kosovo, with the economy being the main point of his program. [30]
In December 2023 the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) published its program from the upcoming election dubbed "Rruga e re" ("The New Road", "The New Path" or "The New Way"). [31] In July 2024 LDK and PSHDK, a Christian minority party in Kosovo, announced that they would run together in the same electoral list. [32] Lumir Abdixhiku is its candidate for Prime Minister, serving as leader of LDK since 2021.
In January 2024 opposition parties Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Social Democratic Initiative (NISMA) and Conservative List of Kosovo (LKK) announced they would run together in a coalition led by leader of AAK and former Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj. [33] According to the Social Democratic Party of Kosovo (PSD) it too was offered to join this coalition but rejected it due to ideological differences. [34] The coalition was made official in August 2024 [35] and soon after, the coalition published their program which focuses more on foreign relations and Kosovo's aspiration to join NATO and EU. [36]
The New Kosovo Alliance (AKR) and the Justice Party (PD) along with assembly members of ruling LVV [37] announced the creation of the "Family List" Coalition. [38] The coalition was formed as opposition to the government attempt to increase LGBTQ rights in Kosovo, specifically the proposed Civil Code which would've legalized same-sex civil unions. [39]
Following the formation of the government Prime Minister Kurti declared that dialogue with Serbia would be his 6th or 7th priority, choosing to focus more on domestic issues. [40] On 20 September 2021 Kosovo announced a ban on Serbian license plate being used by Serbian citizens in Kosovo. [41] The Government justified this action as reciprocal measures, seeing as Serbia doesn't recognize Kosovan license plate. [42] This however sparked protest in Serb-majority north Kosovo as well as condemnation from Serbia who threatened to use military action. On 30 September 2021 EU had announced they had brokered a temporary deal between Serbia and Kosovo, halting the issue for 6 months. [43]
In July 2022 Kosovan government announced that Serbian citizens who enter Kosovo will receive entry and exit documents sparking barricades by local Serbs in Kosovo. This would also lead to Serbian politicians and policemen to leave Kosovan Institutions. [44] [45]
The issue of regulating marriage and civil partnerships for same-sex couples has sparked a clash of viewpoints in the Kosovo Assembly. In March 2022, the Civil Code Draft did not pass its first reading due to strong opposition, particularly regarding the potential legalization of civil partnerships between same-sex individuals. The proposed law would allow for the creation of a separate legal framework to register "civil partnerships" for same-sex couples, but it faced significant opposition from lawmakers and religious leaders, who view it as a redefinition of marriage and family. LGBT community supporters have called for equal recognition of marriage rights, emphasizing that Kosovo's Constitution guarantees the right to marry for all citizens. [46] In April 2024, Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti announced plans to pass a new Civil Code in May, which included provisions for civil partnerships between same-sex couples. This would have made Kosovo the second country in the Western Balkans, after Montenegro, to legally recognize such unions. However, the vote did not take place in May, and the process has been delayed indefinitely. The proposal faced opposition from some members of Kurti's party and religious leaders in Kosovo, who argued it would redefine marriage and family. The draft defines marriage as a legally recognized union between a man and a woman but allows for civil partnerships between same-sex couples. Despite the delay, Kurti remains confident that the legislation will eventually pass. [47]
