[3] The 120 members of the Assembly are elected by open list proportional representation for a four-year term, with 20 reserved for national minorities.

[7] On 31 July 2024, President Vjosa Osmani formally invited the leaders of political parties to a consultative meeting regarding the scheduling of the upcoming elections.

[11][12] Prime Minister and leader of Vetëvendosje (LVV) Albin Kurti did not attend the consultation due to a prior commitment.

[14][15][16] The application period for political parties seeking certification and submission of candidate lists for the 2025 elections spanned from 1 September to 11 December 2024.

[18][19] The decision was based on remarks made by the party's leader Zlatan Elek during the presentation of the electoral list, which KQZ deemed to be nationalistic in nature.

[31] In December 2023 the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) published its program from the upcoming election dubbed "Rruga e re" ("The New Road", "The New Path" or "The New Way").

[34] According to the Social Democratic Party of Kosovo (PSD) it too was offered to join this coalition but rejected it due to ideological differences.

[37] The New Kosovo Alliance (AKR) and the Justice Party (PD) along with assembly members of ruling LVV[38] announced the creation of the "Family List" Coalition.

[40] Following the formation of the government Prime Minister Kurti declared that dialogue with Serbia would be his 6th or 7th priority, choosing to focus more on domestic issues.

[45][46] The issue of regulating marriage and civil partnerships for same-sex couples has sparked a clash of viewpoints in the Kosovo Assembly.

The proposed law would allow for the creation of a separate legal framework to register "civil partnerships" for same-sex couples, but it faced significant opposition from lawmakers and religious leaders, who view it as a redefinition of marriage and family.

The proposal faced opposition from some members of Kurti's party and religious leaders in Kosovo, who argued it would redefine marriage and family.

[48] The European Union established a team of 100 observers led by French MEP Nathalie Loiseau to monitor the election.

In a statement released following the election on 11 February, the EU monitors praised the election as "peaceful and competitive" while criticising several aspects including the presence of "harsh rhetoric reflecting deep political divisions", the Serb List pressuring voters "who are largely dependent on Serbian social assistance or employment in Serbia-managed institutions in the Kosovo-Serb municipalities", Vetëvendosje trying to prevent the Serb List from competing in the election and engaging in harsh rhetoric against them, and US special envoy Richard Grenell involving himself in the campaign by calling Albin Kurti an unreliable partner of the United States.
