Kosovo’s new president, Vjosa Osmani-Sadriu, was elected to the position on Apr. 4 owing to the support of Kosovo’s strongest political party – the Albin Kurti-led Self-Determination Movement. Osmani, a long-time member of the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo, who left the party after tensions in September last year, was elected in the third round of a vote for Kosovo president, receiving the support of 71 out of 120 delegates, plus 11 invalid votes. After not receiving the support of at least 80 delegates, 61 votes were enough in the third round, under the condition that at least 80 members of parliament voted.
