As the deadline for registering pre-election coalitions for the February 7 elections approaches, the political scene in Kosovo remains unclear regarding cooperation between parties. The main political entities are still calculating how they will run on the first Sunday of June, leaving open both the option of coalitions and running independently in the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two days before the coalition registration deadline, Vet\u00ebvendosje Movement confirmed that it is ready to enter a formal pre-election coalition with the Guxo party, Alternativa, and PSHDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Member of the Vet\u00ebvendosje Movement Presidency, Arb\u00ebrie Nagavci, told KosovaPress that within the deadline they will submit a request to the Central Election Commission for a pre-election coalition, which, according to her, will be similar to the one in the national elections of December 28 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) appears more reserved regarding pre-election coalitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PDK Presidency member Betim Gjoshi told KosovaPress that party bodies will decide on the matter, but he believes they will run alone in the elections. However, he did not rule out including certain initiatives or individuals in the party\u2019s candidate list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked about the possibility of the Social Democratic Initiative of Fatmir Limaj joining the Democratic Party, he said there is no serious initiative in that direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cConsidering that the law is not favorable for pre-election coalitions, for years we have chosen to run as a party. Of course, within our list we have included other allies who will contribute and win mandates under PDK. However, this remains for PDK\u2019s governing bodies to decide on how they will run in the elections\u2026 We have not seen any serious initiative in this field, to be honest, and I cannot comment on something hypothetical,\u201d <\/em>Gjoshi emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AAK Vice President Time Kadrijaj also said that the party aims to run alone in the February 7 elections. The Alliance has no doubts that it will pass the electoral threshold to enter parliament, which means securing at least 5 percent of the total nationwide vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the day, KosovaPress also sought a position from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) regarding pre-election coalitions and the form of cooperation with former President Vjosa Osmani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Osmani met with LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku last week, reportedly for a friendly coffee to explore possible ways of cooperation in the June 7 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regarding this, political analyst Adrian Zeqiri considers it possible that Osmani could run together with LDK in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to him, Osmani is likely to form a citizens\u2019 list and then be included in LDK\u2019s list or enter a formal pre-election coalition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The snap parliamentary elections are being held following the failure to elect the country\u2019s president by April 28, a deadline set by the Constitutional Court. The last national-level elections were held five months ago, on December 28, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the deadline for registering pre-election coalitions for the February 7 elections approaches, the political scene in Kosovo remains unclear regarding cooperation between parties.
