Kosovo Premier Seeks to End Deadlock With Bid to Form Coalition

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti reached out to an opposition party with a proposal to form a ruling coalition, seeking to break nearly three months of post-election deadlock.

Kurti proposed to form the coalition with the Democratic League of Kosovo, the nation’s third biggest party, as lawmakers have been unable to elect the parliament speaker at 11 consecutive sessions. That has left Kosovo in a state of political limbo and raised a risk of a snap vote.
