Kosovo holds third parliamentary election in 18 months amid political deadlock.
Kosovo will hold its third parliamentary election in 18 months on Sunday after political parties failed to agree on a replacement for former President Vjosa Osmani. Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party holds a parliamentary majority but neither side secured the 80 votes needed to appoint a president in the 120-member Parliament.
