Some international officials in Kosovo are categorically against early elections. International sources told Gazeta Blic that there are two reasons why they think new elections are not necessary. “We could face the same situation again; the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and other parties of the bloc might not reach a pre-election agreement and the PDK would be the winning party again. This is why new elections might not be productive,” the source said. He added that the issue could be sent to the Constitutional Court again or political parties could reach an agreement to break the deadlock. Another reason why international officials do not prefer new elections has to do with the eventual escalation of the situation on election day and the delay of sensitive processes for Kosovo, such as the formation of the Special Court and talks with Serbia. “New elections can bring tension because of the growing gap between the PDK and other parties," the source said.
