Kosovo voters return to the polls after parties fail to agree on a new president

Kosovo voters held an early parliamentary election after political parties failed to agree on a new president by a March deadline. The third election in 18 months aims to resolve a political impasse affecting the country’s EU and NATO aspirations, with Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s party maintaining a majority but facing opposition challenges. The prolonged crisis has harmed Kosovo’s economy and delayed access to international funds.
