It was originally established by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo in 2001[3] to provide 'provisional, democratic self-government'. On 17 February 2008, representatives of the people of Kosovo[4] unilaterally declared Kosovo's independence and subsequently adopted the Constitution of Kosovo, which came into effect on 15 June 2008.

Perspective

No party won a majority in the Assembly of Kosovo, with Albin Kurti's Vetëvendosje party receiving around 41% of the vote.[6] Turnout was estimated at 41%. The release of official results was delayed by a failure in the election commission's website that was attributed to an increase in user traffic.[7]
