Kosovo set to hold third election in 18 months as frustration grows over political impasse

Kosovo is holding its third parliamentary election in 18 months due to a political impasse over selecting a new president. Prime Minister Albin Kurti's Vetevendosje party maintains a parliamentary majority, but no candidate has secured the required 80 votes in the 120-member legislature. The election follows two previous inconclusive votes and growing public frustration over stalled governance and economic challenges.
