Kosovars will now head to the polls within the next 45 days to elect a new government.
It’s the third parliamentary election in just over a year — and Kosovo’s instability is increasingly undermining its EU ambitions and efforts to normalize its relationship with Serbia, having declared independence in 2008.
The country applied to join the bloc in 2022, but has not been granted candidate status, as that depends on the EU-brokered dialogue with Serbia and all member countries acknowledging Kosovo as a sovereign nation.
Cyprus, Spain, Slovakia, Romania and Greece currently do not recognize Kosovo.
