CEC announces final election result, Burjani stresses respect for the constitutional order in Kosovo

The Central Election Commission has completed the count and, at today’s meeting, certified the final results of the elections held on June 7, 2026.

During the CEC session, it was announced: “With 10 votes in favor, the final result of the June 7, 2026 elections is declared.”

With this decision, the legal deadline also begins within which political entities and candidates may file complaints.

CEC Chairman Kreshnik Radoniqi said that this 48-hour deadline begins today at 12:00 and ends on Monday at the same time.

“Following this decision, candidates have the right to appeal the declaration of the result within 48 hours, starting from 12:00 today and ending at 12:00 on Monday,” Radoniqi said.

The official results show that the Vetëvendosje Movement (LVV), led by acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, ranked as the leading political force with 47.13% of the vote, securing 53 seats in the Kosovo Assembly, which has a total of 120 deputies.

In a statement to “Bota sot,” legal affairs expert Blerim Burjani said that processes in Kosovo must move forward in full compliance with the constitutional order and the institutional chain provided for by the Constitution.

Burjani stressed that the procedure being followed is entirely constitutional, recalling that Kosovo functions as a parliamentary state and that the institutional order begins with the Assembly, continues with the Government, and then the President.

“The procedure is constitutional, Kosovo is a parliamentary state, it starts with the Assembly, the Government and the President, so the institutional chain must be respected, just as it is proclaimed in the Constitution in its principles. Any other interpretation is unconstitutional, and I believe this is clear to everyone,” he said.

He further criticized interpretations that, according to him, misread the constitutional norm.

“There are individuals who do not understand the parliamentary constitutional framework, therefore the Constitution should not be distorted for people who have no clue about this work,” Burjani concluded.
