Kosovo Assembly holds extraordinary session for presidential

Overview

As the October 6, 2026, constitutional deadline arrived, the Kosovo Assembly convened an extraordinary session to address both the presidential vacancy and the draft law regarding the Specialized Chambers.

In the effort to resolve the presidential impasse, Justina Shiroka Pula has emerged as a candidate. Shiroka Pula is an academic and former Minister of Energy and Mines (2008–2011) who has also served as a member of the Assembly and previously led the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo.

The session also addressed the legislative deadlock involving the Specialized Chambers, a point of contention for the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), which has sought to limit the chambers' mandate and introduce international oversight.

Amidst these proceedings, political tensions have escalated, with PSD leader Dardan Molliqaj criticizing Prime Minister Albin Kurti. Molliqaj described Kurti’s political ideology as “authoritarian” and possessing “totalitarian tendencies,” suggesting his leadership lacks democratic criteria.

Coverage disagrees

    vs

    "170 delegates voted against removing Lumir Abdixhiku, 152 voted for removal, and five ballots were invalid."

    The number of delegates voting against the motion differs between 170 and 169.

  • "A constitutional session to constitute the new Assembly is scheduled for 6 August 2026."

    vs

    "The constitutional session was scheduled for Saturday, 8 August 2026, at 11:00."
