The government Kurti has not yet presented the governing programme and the work plan, though legislative agenda has already been adopted. The lack of a document defining priorities and executive targets has sparked criticism from the opposition, which estimates the Government is continuing without a clear vision for the country’s development.
And by power they argue that the delay in presenting the governing programme and working plan relates to the institutional stalemate that has occurred, warning that the documents will be adopted soon.
Alliance MP Burim Ramadani tells Kosovo Preis that lack of the work plan is not a new problem of this governance. According to him, even during the past mandate the government had worked without a literal plan, while decisions, as he claims, had been made ad-hoc and based on party interests.
Ramadan also criticises the way the legislative agenda is defined. He says initiatives for laws are not stemming from clear political objectives of the Government, but primarily from the administration and professional staff of state institutions.
Unfortunately, we’ve seen this government structure go through a full mandate without a plan. Even all decisions had ad-hoc, right there, according to party interests and party goals. The same thing, the same story is being repeated now. We’ve seen that there’s not after that initial presentation, there’s no work plan, there’s no clarity, there’s no clear objectives, and there’s at the same time a set of ideas about laws that seem to be coming from the administration and not from the political level. So if the legislative plan is analysed, it is clearly seen, in my opinion, that ideas have come from professional and administrative staff, but not as political goals, political objectives which should have a government.
So a government must clearly decide how it views Kosovo after four years. So after his term. And on the basis of that, to decide what the objectives are and what the laws and actions and decisions should be made. And that’s missing. It’s missing because we have a huge power class. It’s old policy that Mr. Kurt and the government are doing. It is old policy in mind because it does not respond to any kind of innovative development and demands, the needs of Kosovo youth, he said.
On the other hand, LVV Parliamentary Group chief Arberie Nagavci says the government is expected to approve the government programme and the work plan soon.
It argues that the delay relates to the institutional stalemate and short-term to the resumption of the Parliament’s work, stressing that the Government will continue implementing commitments presented earlier. Meanwhile, the government’s approval of the legislative agenda was highlighted.
The government has already approved the legislative agenda. I believe we will soon have the governing programme and the work plan. You know we’ve done this even in the months of the period that the Parliament was dysfunctional. You know it’s a short time, two weeks since the president’s election and continuing the work of the Parliament. All of this has happened because of the opposition-created stalemate. We will continue with implementing the plan, which has no major changes from what was said in advance, since nothing has changed in government or in the field.
On this issue, Kosova Prees has asked Kosovo government as well, but the same have not returned.
Meanwhile, concerns about the legislative burden on the part of the Government express researchers at the Kosovo Democratic Institute ( Volnet Bugachk.
He says there are over 65 bills in the first-read screening procedure, including initiatives carried by the previous legislature and new bills. According to him, it remains unclear whether the Parliament and parliamentary commissions will have the capacity to complete the review of all these initiatives within the current session.
There are a large number of laws that have remained from the past legislature and some new ones like the derivatives of some initiatives, which have now started for a long time. It is true that they are volume laws because there are some 65 laws that are in the first – reading screening procedure, so it is certainly a very busy agenda. I don’t know whether parliamentary commissions and the Parliamentary Assembly itself will have capacity with MPs who, by the end of this session, end all and we should stress that there are not only cases when they have been proposed, not every time they have been adopted in time, he points out.
The government Kurti 4 was formed on September 13th 2026, following the election of Albin Kurti to prime minister and the vote of the new government cabinet in the Kosovo Assembly. Kurti before the deputies had also presented the exhibition of the government programme in the Assembly,
However, by 6 October the political situation has been unclear due to dilemmas for the president’s election. President Justina Shiroka-Pula was elected at midnight on October 6th. / KP/
