The election of the new President of Kosovo, according to political analyst Agron Demi, is not expected to be accompanied by an institutional blockade, despite the political debates that may take place.
According to him, the basis for this is the decision of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo in the case of Behgjet Pacolli, which clearly defines the obligation of MPs to participate in the voting process.
"Deputies are obliged to participate in the vote. Even if the election is not achieved in the first two rounds, in the third round the President is elected with 61 votes, but deputies must be present," Demi said on "Përballje Podcast", writes Telegrafi.
He emphasized that political parties no longer have room for deliberate maneuvers or blockades, as past experience has shown that institutional delays have not brought them political benefits.
"The months-long blockade, even though in reality the responsibility was mainly the ruling party, in public perception it ultimately did not harm Vetëvendosje," said Demi, adding that this party has managed to manage the political narrative in its favor.
According to the analyst, a new round of parliamentary elections would not suit the opposition parties either.
He mentioned that the Democratic League of Kosovo is expected to enter internal electoral processes, while a new leadership would not risk facing new elections within a few months.

A similar situation, according to him, applies to the Democratic Party of Kosovo and AAK, which have no interest in entering a rapid electoral cycle again.
Demi also spoke about external factors that could influence political calculations, including possible decisions from The Hague regarding the former leaders of the KLA and PDK.
In conclusion, Demi emphasized that the results of the recent elections and the participation of the diaspora have shown that Vetëvendosje, especially its leader Albin Kurti, has been several steps ahead in managing political scenarios.
"Even institutional delays, in the end, have turned into an electoral advantage for the ruling party," he said, adding that lower voter turnout in some cases has directly affected the final result.
