The Vetëvendosje Movement's candidate for prime minister, Albin Kurti, has declared victory in the June 7 elections, while warning that in the coming weeks he will cooperate with other parties to resolve the presidential issue.  

During his speech at a party with party supporters in "Skënderbeu" Square in Pristina, Kurti said that the party he leads has the public interest above all else.

"In the coming weeks, we will meet, we will cooperate with all parties because first and foremost, the public interest, the will and the sovereign Republic that we serve with devotion. Count on us not only in the work we do, but also in the cooperation we do," Kurti said.

Furthermore, he stated that this decade will be the decade of the Vetëvendosje Movement's governance.

"In less than seven years, this is the fifth victory of the LVV in the parliamentary elections. For at least this decade, and I believe much longer, it has been the government of the Vetëvendosje Movement. Therefore, in these fifth elections, it was proven that everyone competes, the majority votes and we win. We bring together workers, enterprises, infrastructure, agriculture, and care for mothers and children, men and the elderly, for boys and girls. Thank you for this great support. There is no difficulty that we have not overcome, even when it seemed impossible, we have achieved it. Because now it is a state for all, and we are all for the state", Kurti added.

Kurti stated that the country's executive institutions are functional, but emphasized that the Assembly is missing, and for this reason he had a message for the opposition.

"We are sure that in LVV we have the guarantee of good governance and that the state as a Republic is in safe hands. I am your prime minister, sometimes acting prime minister and sometimes acting as prime minister. Kosovo also has a president, acting president Albulena Haxhiu Haxhiu. No matter how much we celebrate tonight, tomorrow at 8 o'clock we are all at work. What Kosovo lacks is not the government, nor the president, but the Assembly. The opposition bloc does not go to work. And we are interested in the opposition bloc also going to work. We hope that in the 11th legislature...", he declared.
