Resolved: NO

No government was confirmed: the Assembly was still unconstituted when the constitutional deadline passed in early August and Albin Kurti remained acting prime minister, as Reuters and the BBC reported on 8 August.

How this resolves

The market resolves on the official record of the Assembly of Kosovo (kuvendikosoves.org) and the Official Gazette, which publish a confirmed government the day the confidence vote passes. It resolves YES only on a recorded confidence vote before end of day 7 August. If that source has not published in time, Reuters and BBC settle it.

The pattern behind it

Too few cases
In two of Kosovo's last five parliamentary elections a government won a confidence vote within two months of polling day, and five is the full record since 2017. The split is real: 36 days at the fastest in 2021, about six weeks after the December 2025 snap vote, and 199 days of pure institutional deadlock after February 2025 that ended in fresh elections. Five cases is below the six Hunch requires to show History.

After an election, Kosovo often waits a long time for a government. We looked at the five parliamentary elections since 2017 and counted the days from polling day to a government confirmed by the Assembly. The fastest took five weeks. The slowest ran 199 days with no government at all and ended in new elections.
