The Facts
Kosovo may soon become the first Muslim-majority country to legalize same-sex marriages.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti has said that Kosovo will strive to become the second country in the Western Balkans to guarantee its citizens "the right to a same-sex life partnership."
The Spin
Conservative narrative
Though it may be a progressive step, it's unlikely that same-sex unions will be legalized in Kosovo any time soon. A similar proposal in 2022 failed, and public support for the cause is still meager.
Progressive narrative
Kosovo should legalize same-sex unions and do more to protect its LGBTQ+ population, which is treated as second-class citizens and faces increased discrimination. The law needs to change, and so do societal opinions and behaviors.
