Kosovo Politics: Kosovo’s Central Election Commission certified the final results of the June 7 snap parliamentary election, with Vetëvendosje winning 47.13% and 53 seats, clearing the way for government talks—though the presidency still needs a two-thirds parliamentary majority, keeping the political deadlock risk alive. EU Path: In parallel, the European Parliament’s Kosovo rapporteur said Kosovo’s future is in the EU, but reforms are still required, and the membership process remains stalled because Kosovo lacks candidate status. Justice Watch: The OSCE Mission warned that structural and operational shortcomings continue to undermine war-crimes proceedings in Kosovo courts, citing delays, witness problems, and procedural uncertainty that can affect accused rights and public trust. Serbia-Kosovo Tensions: Serbian PM Đurić Macut hosted ambassadors of non-recognisers of “Kosovo,” arguing that conditions for Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija are deteriorating and urging pressure on Pristina to implement the Community of Serb Municipalities. Regional Economy: IMF forecasts point to Kosovo among Europe’s faster growers, with annual growth around 3.95% under a reconstruction-driven outlook for the wider region.
