On 6 January 2015, a group known as Thirrjet e nënave (The call of mothers), whose members are mostly mothers of victims from the Kosovo War, protested in front of the Orthodox Church in Gjakova before Christmas,[12][13] to block adherents to enter, due to Serbia's ongoing refusal to apologise for the victims.

Later that day, Aleksandar Jablanović, Minister of Communities and Returns and member of the Parliament of Kosovo branded as "savages" and "freaks" [14] a group who stoned and blocked the way for buses driving displaced Serbs to Christmas mass in Gjakova.

[26] On 3 February 2015, Prime Minister Isa Mustafa announced that Aleksandar Jablanović would no longer be part of the cabinet, and therefore his resignation was confirmed.

[28] Prior to the local and national protests and the formation of the new government on 9 December 2014, disapproval and anti-governmental actions had already started.

At least 20,000 people from Kosovo,[29] whose vast majority were youth, were instantly trying to illegally emigrate to the European Union, through Serbia and Hungary,[30] due to the high unemployment rate.

[30] The situation gained national attention, and most citizens would blame the government, due to its failure to prevent the emigration and to shrink the unemployment rate.

[37] At the following parliament sessions, opposition's reaction was extremely negative, with most of them, either leaving the assembly, or constantly threatening the position.

[50] The second national-level protest was held at the Mother Teresa square in Pristina on 27 January, supported by Vetëvendosje, AAK, NISMA, Thirrjet e nënave, and most Kosovo Albanian citizens.
