In response to an invitation by the President of Kosovo, the High Representative / Vice President of the European Commission Kaja Kallas has decided to deploy an EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) to observe the parliamentary elections scheduled for 9 February 2025.

The High Representative has appointed Nathalie Loiseau, Member of the European Parliament, as Chief Observer. 
The election observation missions to Kosovo, at the request of its authorities, will demonstrate the EU’s resolute support for Kosovo in its efforts to further strengthen its democratic governance. The mission’s presence on the ground is aimed at contributing to an inclusive, credible and transparent election process allowing Kosovo voters to clearly express their choices.

Chief Observer Nathalie Loiseau said: “I feel honoured to serve as the Chief Observer of the 2025 EU Election Observation Mission to Kosovo. The forthcoming parliamentary elections will be the first to take place under a new electoral law, which has taken into account our previous recommendations. I look forward to engaging with authorities, political parties, candidates, civil society and other electoral stakeholders in Kosovo.”
