Kosovo's parliament approved a new government led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti on Wednesday, ending over a year of political deadlock. The vote occurred after Kurti's Vetevendosje party won a snap election in December. Kurti outlined his legislative agenda, prioritizing the economy, defense investment, and normalizing relations with Serbia, which has not recognized Kosovo's independence since 2008. He aims to invest one billion euros in the military, including drone production, citing ongoing threats from Serbia. Normalizing relations with Belgrade is crucial for both countries' aspirations to join the European Union. The new government's priorities include securing international loans and reforming health and education systems.
