Overview
- Kosovo’s election commission reports Vetëvendosje at roughly 49.4 percent after nearly all ballots, well ahead of PDK (~21 percent) and LDK (~13.6 percent).
- Preliminary projections put Vetëvendosje short of the 61 seats needed to govern alone, with estimates around the mid‑50s pending diaspora vote totals.
- Twenty seats are reserved for minorities, meaning any governing formula will require support from non‑aligned minority deputies rather than the Serbian List.
- The new assembly faces urgent tasks, including electing a president by April and ratifying about one billion euros in EU and World Bank loans.
- Analysts say holiday‑season voting boosted diaspora turnout, helping Vetëvendosje expand its share compared with February after months of parliamentary deadlock and more than 50 failed speaker votes.
