Kosovo PM Albin Kurti wins election amid tensions with Brussels and Washington

Kosovo's ruling Vetevendosje party, led by Albin Kurti, won 41.3% of the votes in the parliamentary election but fell short of a majority, according to preliminary results from the election commission.
The opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo received 21.8% of the votes, while the Democratic League of Kosovo secured 17.8%, as reported by the election commission.
Albin Kurti declared victory, stating, "We are the winners, and this is confirmation of a good, prosperous and democratic government," despite the need for coalition talks.
The European Union imposed economic curbs on Kosovo in 2023, cutting at least 150 million euros in funding due to tensions related to Kurti's policies towards ethnic Serbs in the north.
