Konjufca has been an activist of the Vetëvendosje Movement since its founding in 2005, and was, among others, active as the editor of the movement's weekly newspaper.
In 2010, when Vetëvendosje first ran for elected office, he was elected to the Assembly of Kosovo.
Member of Parliament He served as deputy speaker of the Assembly from 2011 to 2014 and again from 2015 to 2017, and led the Vetëvendosje parliamentary group from 2014 to 2019. In 2012, Konjufca told
Deutsche Welle that he supported the
unification of Albania and Kosovo to form a
Greater Albania, saying, "The national union of
Kosovo and
Albania is an indisputable right of the
Albanian people, who were unjustly divided by history.” At the time, it was reported that Vetëvendosje would seek a referendum on unification.
Speaker of the Assembly After
Vetëvendosje's victory in the
2019 Kosovan parliamentary election, Konjufca was appointed speaker of the Assembly on 26 December 2019 by a vote of 75 to 27. He resigned on 3 February 2020, taking office as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
Kosovo. He served in this position until 3 June 2020, when the
new government led by the then-opposition parties was established. Konjufca was the second most voted candidate in the
2021 Kosovan parliamentary election, which Vetëvendosje won by a landslide. On 22 March 2021, he was elected speaker of the Assembly by a vote of 69 to 33. With a vacant presidency, Konjufca was also serving as acting president until the election of Vjosa Osmani. As Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca has been an outspoken advocate for Kosovo’s sovereignty and has taken a critical stance on the
EU-led dialogue with Serbia. He publicly supported Prime Minister
Albin Kurti's claims of bias and partisanship by the
European Union Special Representative for the Serbia-Kosovo dialogue,
Miroslav Lajcak, arguing that Lajčák’s positions have been continuously closely aligned with the interests of Serbia, while being clearly unfavorable to Kosovo’s national interests or statehood. Following the
February 2025 Kosovan parliamentary elections, Glauk Konjufca did not seek re-election as Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo. His party, Vetevendosje, nominated then-Minister of Justice
Albulena Haxhiu for the position; however, the Assembly has
failed to elect a new speaker after multiple attempts, resulting in a National Assembly deadlock and a political stalemate that has eventually delayed the formation of a new government. Konjufca was subsequently declared as prime minister-designate as part of a compromise agreement, but failed to win a majority in the Assembly on 19 November. ==References==
