- It was not immediately clear whether the party secured the 61 seats needed to govern alone in the 120-seat Assembly, which includes 20 reserved minority seats.
- Albin Kurti told supporters a new parliament and government would be formed quickly, calling the outcome the party’s largest win to date.
- Kosovo still lacks an approved 2026 budget and lawmakers are due to elect a new president in March as Vjosa Osmani’s term ends in early April.
- The snap election followed a months-long deadlock after February’s vote, with opposition parties criticizing Kurti’s approach to Western partners and policies in the Serb-majority north.
