See how Kosovo compares →

A former student protest leader who heads the left-wing nationalist Vetëvendosje movement, and whose governments have pressed Kosovo’s sovereignty in confrontations with Serbia.

Albin Kurti sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: leaning state-led and slightly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly nationalist on nation, leaning state-led on economy and leaning anti-establishment on institutions. The profile is close to the middle on interventionism.
