Kosovo holds second parliamentary election

Kosovo is holding its second parliamentary election in 11 months.

1news.media informs that Reuters reported on this.

According to the information, polling stations, which opened at 07:00 local time (10:00 Baku time), will close at 19:00 (22:00 Baku time).

Prime Minister Albin Kurti's left-wing nationalist party "Vetevendosje" (Self-Determination Movement) is trying to achieve a majority to break a long-standing political deadlock.

Sunday's snap elections follow a vote in February, in which "Vetevendosje" won but failed to win a majority in parliament.

Months of failed coalition talks led Kosovo President Josa Osmani to dissolve parliament in November and call snap elections.

If Vetevendosje fails to win a majority again, there will be uncertainty about whether Kosovo's main political parties will be willing to compromise to form a coalition government.
