Albin Kurti's party won the election in Kosovo

Extraordinary parliamentary elections were held in Kosovo, in which the ruling "Self-Determination" party achieved a major victory. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to the Central Election Commission, the party led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti secured 49.8 percent of the votes. This result was announced after votes were counted in almost all polling stations.

This victory allows the party to occupy nearly half of the seats in the new parliament and to form a stable majority in cooperation with representatives of ethnic minorities. Local observers assessed this outcome as an expected scenario.

Supporters of the party organized motorcades in the streets of Prishtina, creating a festive atmosphere, and the night sky was illuminated with fireworks. Albin Kurti described the elections as fair and democratic, emphasizing that the new mandate places great responsibility on the government.

He indicated that the main task is to continue the work that has already begun. Opposition parties lagged significantly behind in the election.

The Kosovo Democratic Party took second place with 21 percent of the votes, while the Kosovo Democratic League came third with 13.6 percent. The alliance led by former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj took fourth place with 7.6 percent of the votes.

The Kosovo parliament has 120 seats, of which 10 are reserved for the Serbian minority and another 10 for other ethnic groups. This system is aimed at ensuring national balance.

It is worth noting that this was the second parliamentary election held in Kosovo since the beginning of this year. After the February elections, Kurti was unable to form a coalition with the opposition.

The extraordinary election gave him the opportunity to strengthen his political position. Currently, Albin Kurti's government is pursuing a tough policy towards the Serbian minority in northern Kosovo.

The use of the Serbian dinar and financial operations conducted through Belgrade are restricted. This decision has been criticized by the European Union and the United States, further straining relations between Prishtina and Belgrade.

The European Union has suspended funding for certain projects in Kosovo, and the United States has temporarily frozen USAID programs. In December, Kosovo submitted an application to join the European Union.

Western countries have stated that the prospects for European integration for Kosovo and Serbia depend on the stabilization of their relations. So far, Spain, Cyprus, Greece, Slovakia, Romania, as well as Serbia and Russia, have not recognized Kosovo's independence.

In conclusion, the election result has given Albin Kurti and the "Self-Determination" party strong political authority. At the same time, this victory marks the beginning of a new era of opportunities for Kosovo and a period of complex decisions in international relations.
