Kosovans headed to the polls against a backdrop of a stagnant economy and renewed ethnic tensions but the Central Election Commission says turnout was low.
And ethnic tensions between Kosovar Albanians and Serbs remain tense from the 1998-1999 war between Serbian forces and ethnic Albanian separatists.
The vote is seen as a key test for incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti and this is the first time since independence in 2008 that Kosovo’s parliament has completed a full four-year mandate.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ accused Albanian PM Albin Kurti of attempting to “remove the Serbian List as the only political opponent”.
