CEC certifies elections in Kosovo, Kurti reacts: Government and members continue
Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti

Today, the Central Election Commission certified the results of the elections held on February 9 in Kosovo.

After the certification of the results, there was a reaction from the Prime Minister and VV's candidate for Prime Minister, Albin Kurti.

Kurti, through a post on the social network Facebook, said that he continues to be prime minister and that the law does not prohibit him from doing so.

Full reaction:

Dear citizens, 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.

This is the first time that a Government of the Republic of Kosovo has successfully completed its full constitutional mandate, marking a new chapter of institutional stability in our democratic Republic.

In accordance with Article 29, par. 1, subpar. 1.4 of Law No. 08/L-117 on the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, the mandate of each member of the Government also ended on March 23, together with the end of the mandate of the Government, without the need for an additional and formal act of resignation from their respective positions according to sub-paragraph 1.3 of the same paragraph and article.

In this case, the Law provides that the Government and all its members continue to perform their duties, fully respecting the limitations provided for in Article 30 of the aforementioned Law, as well as the requirements of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo. 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 guardianship role, to guarantee the continuity, security and uninterrupted functioning of the state, in accordance with the Constitution and laws.

Thank you for your support.
