Exclusive interview with former Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani

Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti has claimed victory in the country’s third parliamentary election since February 2025. But despite topping the polls once again, the results leave him short of a governing majority, raising the prospect of yet another political deadlock. In this episode, Across The Balkans speaks to former president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani about recent elections and the political situation following the vote. Two countries from the Balkans have qualified for the FIFA World Cup: Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. But this type of success goes beyond football. It brings a valuable economic boost to a country. Going deep into the tournament and winning medals amplifies those effects even further. So from consumer spending to global visibility, what does football success mean for a country that has qualified? Across The Balkans, hosted by Nadja Muftic, is TRT World's programme focusing on the issues and fault lines shaping Southeast Europe today.
