Kosovo 2025: the international factor and geopolitical context of early parliamentary elections

While the international factor will not directly determine the electoral winner, it remains a decisive force in shaping the post-election landscape. Irrespective of the final result, the incoming administration will confront heightened expectations from Western partners, limited manoeuvring space, and persistent pressure to strike a balance between domestic political legitimacy and international acceptance. This delicate equilibrium will be central to Kosovo’s stability in 2026.
