Meanwhile, the other ten seats guaranteed for non-Serb minority communities are distributed among several parties and coalitions.

45 percent of the electorate participated in the December 28 elections.

The LVV of the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has said that it aims for the rapid formation of new institutions, after the certification of the election results.

The early parliamentary elections of December 28 were the result of disagreements and clashes between political parties, which, after the February 9 elections, failed to constitute the Assembly until October 10.

Kurti then failed to get enough votes in the Assembly to form a Government, nor did Glauk Konjufca from LVV./ Rel
