Political tensions have escalated as deputies from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) have physically blocked the government entrance, urging Prime Minister Albin Kurti to end what they describe as blockades. This action comes amidst ongoing political talks concerning the presidential election, which are reportedly advancing with optimism for an agreement next week.
Meanwhile, the capital Pristina has seen a significant security incident with a grenade attack damaging two houses and a vehicle. In other domestic news, an investigation into the Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) has revealed that four workers have died in recent months, with the company allegedly operating without adequate workplace risk assessments.
Further developments include the anticipated start of the trial for the northern barricades case, involving Nenad Orlovic who is reportedly in Serbia. Additionally, a new poll indicates that over half of the Kosovan diaspora plans to return to the country, with a substantial portion also investing in Kosovo.
