Labyrinth in Kosovo
Albin Kurti’s party, Self-Determination, received the most votes in Kosovo’s regular parliamentary elections. These are the first regular elections since Kosovo’s independence in 2008. The current prime minister will have to form a coalition if he wants to retain the prime minister’s office. Analysts we spoke say that Kurti has two options, either a coalition with the opposition or with minorities. Negotiations are just beginning. In the campaign, which passed peacefully, the focus of politicians was mainly on ethnic issues, while the focus of the people, however, is on real social problems such as the economy, emigration and corruption. We talk to journalist Vjosa Cerkini in Pristina about all these issues, as well as about Kosovo’s international relations under the leadership of Albin Kurti. In Mitrovica, we spoke with political analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu, and in North Mitrovica, we asked citizens what they think about these elections.

Analysis of the first 100 days of Trump's rule - How to achieve fair elections in Serbia
Reporting by Jalyssa Dugrot from the USA and an interview with the leader of the New Democratic Party, Miloš Jovanović.
It's been 100 days since Trump took office, and he's already facing protests across America. Increased tariffs on a wide range of countries, controversial immigration policies and an inability to end the war in Ukraine are some of the policies that have marked the first 100 days of Trump's presidency. Tariffs on neighboring Canada have brought down Trudeau's government, and Canadians have elected former Federal Reserve Governor Mark Carney as their new prime minister to deal with the economic crisis. We talk to Florida-based reporter Jalyssa Dugrot about these topics.
In this episode, we also share an interview with the leader of the New Democratic Party of Serbia, Miloš Jovanović, which we conducted at the protests in Niš. Jovanović is also a member of the Serbian Parliament and a supporter of the protests. We discussed the current situation in Serbia, possible solutions for how to achieve fair elections, and potential coalitions in the next election cycle.
