EU officials welcomed the completion of Kosovo’s early parliamentary elections on 28 December, noting the active participation of all communities and parties. The statement, released by High Representative/Vice‑President Kallas and Commissioner Marta Kos, expressed optimism for the swift formation of a new Assembly and Government after a February 2025 stalemate. The EU urged the new government to accelerate EU‑related reforms and to ratify Growth Plan‑related agreements to fully benefit from the Western Balkans Growth Plan for 2024‑2027. It also reaffirmed the importance of normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia, calling for implementation of all obligations under the Agreement on the Path to Normalisation. The EU will continue to deploy an Expert Electoral Mission and has already released €216 million of assistance, with an additional €205 million planned for early next year.
