Prime Minister Albin Kurti's declarations that there will be no post-election coalitions with the three largest parties such as PDK, LDK and AAK are seen as an attempt to mobilize the electorate a month before the elections.
Kurti, as a reason for non-cooperation with the opposition parties, mentioned the fact that they have not reformed in four years and have attacked him a lot in recent months. For those familiar with the political processes in Pristina, the next Government will need a coalition to have a majority in the Assembly and consequently to form the new government cabinet.
Even Kurti's goal of getting 500,000 votes seems unattainable.
"There will be no government without coalitions because it is simply impossible for any of the parties to win more than 50%, not even Vetëvendosje, which I assume will come out first, however I doubt that it will win as it did in the last elections, therefore coalitions will be necessary", political scientist Melazim Koci told A2 CNN.
"I see the Prime Minister's statement as a call for self-confidence within the structure of the VV itself to mobilize its electorate to get more votes, but it is not that any political subject will be able to form the government without the need for another subject political", said analyst Shemsi Jashari.
Possible election results that could impose a coalition could lead the country to an uncertain future due to the parties' beliefs about "red lines" for coalitions.
"I see the creation of a coalition as a difficult post-election period because the contradictions are very big, it is evident that the opposition parties have no inclination to enter a coalition with Mr. "Kurti, even when one of them agrees, conditions this with the post of prime minister," added Koci.
For analysts, the opposition parties PDK, LDK and AAK will make efforts to secure enough votes to govern together, leaving Vetëvendosje in the opposition.
"The opposition parties will try as much as possible to avoid the Vetëvendosje Movement from being included in the government, which will be the same as the tendency of the Vetëvendosje Movement to exclude others from participating in the government, excluding here the Serbian List with those reserved numbers". underlined Shemsi Jashari.
The Vetëvendosje movement is competing in the February 9 elections on a joint list with the Guxo List of former president Vjosa Osmani as well as with the Alternativa party. In 2021, they received about 438 thousand votes, or over 50%, a result that had not been secured by any party in Kosovo before. (A2 Televizion)
