Kosovo elections will decide who will lead stalled talks with Serbia and manage a battered economy

Kosovo goes to the polls Sunday in a parliamentary election expected to be a key test for Prime Minister Albin Kurti after his party won in a landslide four years ago. Eligible voters will cast ballots to elect 120 lawmakers among 26 political groups and one independent candidate. Kurti's left-wing Vetevendosje! or Self-Determination Movement Party is the front-runner, though it is not expected to win an outright majority. The other contenders are the Democratic Party of Kosovo, whose main leaders are at The Hague tribunal accused of war crimes, and the Democratic League of Kosovo, which lost support after the death of its leader, Ibrahim Rugova, in 2006. This is the first time since independence in 2008 that Kosovo’s parliament has completed a full four-year mandate.
