Political blockades and the absence of newly formed governmental structures have resulted in numerous state institutions being managed by acting officials. Constitutional experts have cautioned that this ongoing situation poses a risk to the normal functioning of the state and its independent bodies. Kosovo has maintained a prolonged period where many of its key institutions have been led by acting administrators.
The executive branch’s leadership, notably the presidency, is currently occupied by acting official Albulena Haxhiu. Furthermore, following the dissolution of the Parliament, Haxhiu also serves as the acting Speaker of the Parliament. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Albin Kurti continues to execute the duties of the acting Prime Minister until the establishment of new institutions stemming from the June 7 elections.
Beyond these high-profile roles, a variety of other institutions are also operating under the management of acting personnel. This reliance on temporary leadership across multiple sectors raises concerns regarding institutional stability and the capacity of the state to operate at full capacity. Experts emphasize that the sustained reliance on acting officials hinders the normalization of governance and the effective execution of state functions.
