The efforts of Albin Kurti's party, Self-Determination Party (Vetëvendosje) to block the certification of the participation of the Serbian List in the Kosovo elections are characterized short-sighted and divisiveThis was stated by the US embassy in Pristina, according to which all citizens of Kosovo should be able to exercise their their democratic rights.

«Such actions undermine the stability of Kosovo and its uS interests, including restarting our strategic dialogue to advance the capabilities of American and Kosovar businesses", the american embassy said on Facebook.

It is recalled that the Central Electoral Commission confirmed 22 political parties for participation in the early parliamentary elections to be held in December 28, 2025Of the 24 that submitted applications, only two were not accepted: NISMA, which met all the criteria except for the required list of signatures, and the Serbian List, which did not collect enough votes.

The fact that the Serbian List was not certified to participate in the elections caused negative reactions by international actors.

There was also a reaction from the OSCE mission, which assessed this decision as a "clear deviation from internationally accepted electoral standards", as well as from the EU office in Kosovo and Jonathan Hargraves, the UK ambassador to Kosovo.
