Kosovo’s parliament avoids a snap election after lawmakers reach a late agreement and elect Justina Shiroka-Pula as president, shortly before a deadline expires. Multiple outlets report that the vote takes place during a late-night session and ends a period of political uncertainty that had raised the prospect of an early parliamentary poll.
The deal centers on changes related to the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, with reporting indicating lawmakers move to limit the court’s powers. Outlets describe the process as a last-minute breakthrough to prevent another political deadlock, with MPs approving amendments and then holding the presidential vote minutes before the deadline. While coverage focuses on the timing and procedural steps, all sources frame the outcome as an effort to stabilize the political calendar and resolve disagreements without triggering early elections.
