Kosovo’s parliament elected Albin Kurti as prime minister on Wednesday, securing his third term and ending a year-long political stalemate. Kurti, who had served in a caretaker role, won 66 votes in the 120-seat assembly after his Vetevendosje party topped December’s snap election, prompting applause from supporters.
