Kosovo Opposition Coalition Talks Suspended as Turmoil Hits Democratic League

Coalition talks in Kosovo have been suspended after turmoil inside the opposition Democratic League (LDK). The party’s leader, Lumir Abdixhiku, said internal rivals forced a vote on his dismissal after enough petition signatures were verified to trigger a special assembly. In response, he announced he would stop all coalition negotiations with Albin Kurti’s Vetevendosje party until delegates formally decide his political future. The two parties had been discussing a governing majority, though local reports of a power-sharing deal were denied by party officials.
