Kosovo parliament elects Albin Kurti as prime minister, ending political deadlock

The parliament of Kosovo has elected Albin Kurti as prime minister and approved his new government, ending a year-long political stalemate. Kurti's proposed cabinet includes Nenad Rašić as a minister.

This development comes as Kosovo recently marked 18 years of independence. In a separate legal matter, closing statements have begun in the war crimes trial for a former president of Kosovo.
