Kosovo’s PM, Albin Kurti made his first public appearance after the country’s local elections, during which he praised Sunday’s electoral process.

He called the comparisons being drawn between LVV’s victory on February 14’s general elections and the results of the local elections, irrelevant, because according to him, the lists of municipal candidates cannot be compared to the lists during the parliamentary elections, which were led by names such as the current president, Vjosa Osmani or even Kurti, who would go on to become Kosovo’s prime minister.

In addition, Kurti added that even though the Self-Determination Movement (LVV) was expecting to score much higher in these elections, the results according to the prime minister, have been satisfactory.

“10 years ago, we came in third. Today, we ranked first,” – said Kurti, while expressing his conviction that LVV’s candidate for mayor in Prishtina, Arben Vitia, will come out victorious after the runoffs.
