PHOTO NEWS/ What will the Kosovo Assembly look like after the December 28

With 98.9 percent of polling stations processed, the race in the early parliamentary elections in Kosovo is led by the Vetëvendosje Movement.

The Central Election Commission has announced the preliminary results of the elections and the Vetëvendosje Movement is the winner of the elections with 49.80 percent of the votes won.

Preliminary results were announced after 96.13 percent of the votes had been counted.

Radoniqi said that the rest of the votes will be processed and published on the CEC's online platform.

According to the preliminary results, PDK is second with 21.18 percent of the vote, LDK with 13.77 percent, AAK with 5.74 percent and Serbian List with 3.86 percent.

Meanwhile, the announcement of the final results will be made after the counting of the votes of the diaspora, people with special needs, and conditional votes.

"The counting of the votes of the candidates [for deputies] and the confirmation of the votes for the political entities will start tomorrow at 12:00, as all the material throughout the night will be received at the municipal counting centers, and the counting will start tomorrow and will continue in the following days," said Radoniqi.

Kurti declares victory
The leader of the LVV, Albin Kurti, declared victory in the December 28 elections and said that this is the "biggest victory in the country's history."

"On February 9, LVV won with its partners, on December 28, the people of Kosovo and the Republic won," Kurti said.

Kurti said that his party is on track to surpass the result of February 14, 2021, when it won 50.2 percent.

According to him, Sunday's election result requires that we move forward without delay.

"The sooner [the results] are certified, the sooner we need to create institutions and continue the good work," Kurti said.

Kurti said that the new legislature is waiting for the EU Growth Plan worth 880 million euros and three agreements with the World Bank, which in total he said amount to over 1 billion euros.

"I now invite opposition parties to cooperate in the Assembly on international agreements" and other draft laws, he said.

Kurti was also asked about the issue of the president. He said that it is too early to talk about the issue of electing a new president, emphasizing that "tonight we will celebrate," but added that this issue should be addressed with the opposition, but also with the current president, Vjosa Osmani, whose mandate expires in March.

Asked if he would negotiate with the opposition parties for the presidency and have them make the presidential proposal, Kurti said:

"Negotiating it and giving it to them are two different things. They cannot be used as synonyms, much less in the same sentence. Of course, we need to discuss this issue with the opposition. But, first, we need to discuss international agreements. It will be an important test for government-opposition cooperation in the next four years. I repeat, first we need to wait for the certification of the results."
