Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti said that in May he will legalize same-sex unions and work to meet the rights and needs of minority ethnic communities, including the Serbian minority.
“Kosovo will make an effort to soon become the second country in the Western Balkans, after Montenegro, which guarantees its citizens the right to a same-sex life partnership. We will work hard to pass this in the near future,” Kurti said in the German Bundestag.
On the sidelines of yesterday’s meeting, which was organized by Germany’s ruling social democratic SPD on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Council of Europe, he told the Euractiv Germany portal that, unlike in 2022, he now has the support of the majority of deputies of his Self-Determination party to vote on the legalization of same-sex unions. in May.
Kurti expressed his belief that the proposal will be adopted in the parliament, although he still needs to convince eleven members of parliament to vote for it.
He added that the decision on the Government session on the issue has already been adopted.
Euractiv writes that the introduction of same-sex marriages would be a big step because Kosovo would become the first Muslim-majority country to do so, Klix.ba reports.
