Kosovo Elects Justina Shiroka Pula as President Ahead of Snap Election Deadline
Kosovo's parliament elected economist and academic Justina Shiroka Pula as president in a late-night session, narrowly avoiding a snap election after a 19-month political deadlock. Shiroka Pula, Kosovo's third female president, secured 81 of 120 votes as lawmakers also passed a law limiting the powers of a Hague-based war crimes court investigating the Kosovo Liberation Army. The largely ceremonial presidency includes foreign policy and military roles. Shiroka Pula must endorse the new law for it to take effect.
