Albin is in front of the ruling party of Kurti, but the lack of the majority, the Exit Public Research shows that ncvrs.com

The ruling party of Kosovo won the most votes in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, but is lagging behind the majority of places – predicts the Exit Public Research.

Vevendosje, Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s party, wins 42% of the vote, which is 47 places in the 120 -seat parliament.

The left-wing Government Party is expected to advance to 21%of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), 20%of the Democratic League (LDK) in Kosovo and 6%of the Kosovo Future (AAK) alliance. The exit vote shows.

Kurti came to power in 2021, when a coalition led by his party received more than 50% of the vote and provided a small majority in parliament.

Its popularity was enhanced by efforts to extend government control over the North Ethnic-Serbian majority.

But this offset the main supporters of Kosovo – the EU and the United States. Opposition parties support a more conciliation approach and criticized the government’s management.

The right-wing LDK campaigned for connection to NATO and the restoration of contacts with the US. The PDK was also founded in the center of the Kosovo Liberation Army former guerrilla warriors.

“We are proud of the campaign and the election day. We are waiting for the results, but we have a reason to be optimistic,” said Vlora Citaku, PDK deputy leader.

Meanwhile, AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj, a former prime minister of the country, said he “is looking forward to cooperating in the establishment of the opposition government” to prevent Kurt from returning to power.

According to Kosovo’s constitution, 10 Members must come from the Serbian minority and will not cooperate with the Kurti party.

The remaining 10 places are maintained for other minority ethnic groups that have previously cooperated with Veveleje, which is “self-determination”.

Kurti had previously said he would not cooperate with opposition parties.

Kosovo unilaterally stated that in February 2008 he was unilaterally independent of Serbia after years of tense relations between Serbian and primarily ethnic Albanians.

It has been recognized by the United States and most of the major EU countries, but Serbia, supported by its mighty ally Russia, refuses to do so, as well as most Ethnic Serbian in Kosovo.
