The General Council of the Vetëvendosje Movement met today and elected the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, as the candidate for Prime Minister in the upcoming elections to be held on June 7, 2026.

After his unanimous election by the Council, Kurti delivered his speech, where he spoke about the LVV's efforts to prevent the country from going to unnecessary elections.

"This is a historical obligation that I have towards you, it is an obligation that we have towards our entire Albanian nation and towards our Republic. We will fulfill this duty and no one can stop us, because our eyes, ears, mind, heart are focused on our most sublime goal, the progress of the nation. We said to the Democratic League of Kosovo, come into co-government: the deputy prime minister and four ministers, which is double what the Guxo Party has. They said no. Then we also said to the Democratic League of Kosovo and the Democratic Party of Kosovo, since you are very worried that we are taking the three high state positions, let's make a change in the presidency of the Assembly, where you take the president of the Assembly, while our president becomes the vice president and your vice president becomes the president. Or even let the party president become the president, it is their issue. First, to the LDK, no. To the PDK, no either," he said. Kurt.

Incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti is aiming for a new mandate after the LVV's victory in two elections in 2025, initially in February and then in the extraordinary elections in December.

LVV has already confirmed the continuation of the coalition with Guxo, Alternativa and the Albanian Democratic Christian Party. We remind you that there are still three days left before the deadline for submitting lists of candidates for deputies for the early parliamentary elections on June 7. /CNA
