Preliminary election results: Leftist lead under current prime minister in Kosovo

Citizens of Kosovo went to the polls on Sunday in parliamentary elections reflecting economic and ethnic tensions.

Initial opinion polls showed the leftist Self-Determination Party, led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, in the lead with 40.3% votes, followed by the Democratic Party of Kosovo with 21.4%.

Forecasts indicate that Kurti may win a narrow majority, which could compel him to form a coalition with other parties.
