Kosovo is holding an early parliamentary election called after the previous parliament was unable to elect a president by a March deadline.
The election is the third in 16 months, with the unstable political situation negatively affecting Kosovo's economy and EU aspirations.
Why is Kosovo holding snap elections?
The election was called after the main political parties were unable to elect a new head of state to replace former President Vjosa Osmani within the required timeframe.
Although Prime Minister Albin Kurti's center-left Vetevendosje party holds a clear parliamentary majority, a president must receive at least 80 votes in the 120-member assembly.
