"On March 23, 2025, the full four-year mandate of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, led by me as Prime Minister, officially ended and entered the transitional phase of functioning as an acting government, which is effectively like the government in resignation of previous mandates of others.

Until the election of the new Government by the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, our Government (popularly known as Kurti 2) will exercise all responsibilities that belong to the executive branch in accordance with the legislation in force.

"This places the Government in a guardian role, to guarantee the continuity, security and uninterrupted functioning of the state, in accordance with the Constitution and laws," Kurti writes./ CNA
