The United States of America is closely following recent developments in Kosovo, while expressing concern about the continued political blockade in the country.
A US State Department spokesperson told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that “the ongoing political deadlock undermines trust in Kosovo’s institutions.”
“We are closely following developments. We would like to see all political groups cooperate for the best interests of the people of Kosovo,” the spokesperson said.
Kosovo will hold early parliamentary elections on June 7.
They were announced after the Assembly was automatically dissolved this week, due to its failure to elect a new president within the constitutional deadline.
The ruling party, the Vetevendosje Movement, accused the opposition of deliberately boycotting the sessions, while opposition parties blamed the government for a lack of cooperation and for attempting to concentrate power in a single hand.
