In late July, analyst Berat Buzhala published a personal essay claiming he would try to persuade Albin Kurti that he would eventually be arrested. The piece was speculative and did not report any actual legal action.

A week later, the focus shifted to concrete political fallout. Interim prime minister Kurti warned of a forthcoming political solution to avoid early elections, while the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) publicly broke off cooperation, labeling Kurti a “monster.” The party’s move was linked to historic opposition to Vetëvendosje and was reinforced by the United States’ refusal to back Kurti, deepening his political isolation.
