Opposition parties lead polls in Kosovo's election, beating parties led by former guerrillas
Kosovo Albanians vote for the parliamentary election at a polling station in Pristina on October 6, 2019. Kosovo went to the polls on October 6 in an election that could usher in new leadership at a time when stalled talks with former war foe Serbia are a source of instability in Europe.
"We did not win. We accept the verdict of the people and the PDK moves to the opposition," said Kadri Veseli, leader of the PDK party that has been in power since 2007 and is linked to President Hashim Thaci. He has since become a strident critic of Kosovo’s political elite, and his place at the helm would herald a new era for the young democracy.
Kosovo, a former Serbian province, is recognised by most of the West but it needs Belgrade — and its allies Russia and China — to accept its statehood so it can get a seat in the United Nations.
