In a statement to the media, Albulena Haxhiu<\/span><\/span> announced that June 7 has been set as the date for holding new early parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

Haxhiu\u2019s decision comes shortly after a meeting with leaders and representatives of political parties in the country to determine the election date.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter hearing the proposals of political parties and assessing constitutional deadlines, the organizational needs of the Central Election Commission, and the importance of broad citizen participation in this process, I have decided that the early elections for the Assembly of Kosovo will be held on June 7,\u201d Haxhiu said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the coming days, I will meet with relevant institutions, requesting the presence of international election observer missions for the June 7 elections. From here, I wish the Central Election Commission staff success in safeguarding the will of the citizens. I also wish political parties a successful campaign and citizens the ability to freely and without pressure exercise their right to vote,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The new elections come after the Assembly failed to elect a new president within the constitutional deadline, plunging the country into a new political crisis.<\/p>\n

The Assembly had until midnight on Tuesday to elect the head of state, following the expiration of Vjosa Osmani<\/span><\/span>\u2019s mandate at the beginning of April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
