(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 30 DIC - In Kosovo, the final results after the counting of 100% of the ballots cast in the early parliamentary elections held on Dec. 28 confirm the victory of Vetevendosje (Self-Determination, VV, nationalist left) led by outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti, which secured 49.3% of the vote. Coming in second was the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK, center-right) with 21%, followed by the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK, center-right) with 13.6%. The fourth-largest force in parliament is the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK, center-right), which received 5.7% of the vote. In terms of seat distribution, VV won 56 seats (out of 120 in the Pristina parliament), PDK 23, LDK 15, and AAK 5. Notably, Srpska Lista (SL), representing the Serbian community and closely tied to Belgrade, secured nine of the ten seats reserved for the Serbian minority—highlighting ongoing minority inclusion and stability—while the remaining seat went to the Party for Freedom and Justice, which holds positions close to the Kosovar government. Voter turnout was just under 45%, reflecting moderate engagement and underscoring the importance of democratic participation in Kosovo's elections. Votes cast by mail and by the Kosovar diaspora still need to be counted, but understanding their potential impact helps assess the stability of Kosovo's government. Of the 120 seats in Kosovo's parliament, 20 are reserved by law for minority representatives, half of which are allocated to Serbs. After a ten-month stalemate following last February's election, when it proved impossible to form a new government, Kurti said he is confident this time will be different, as he aims to establish a parliamentary majority and form a new executive.
