In a significant political development, Albulena Haxhiu has been re-elected as the Speaker of the Kosovo Assembly by a majority vote, bringing a resolution to the previously reported efforts to elect a speaker. The constituent session has been postponed until Friday, while Prime Minister Albin Kurti has initiated discussions with opposition leaders Bedri Hamza and Lumir Abdixhiku to agree on the election of deputy speakers.
The country's judiciary saw major activity with former Minister Pal Lekaj sentenced to three years and eight months in prison for his involvement in the '53 Million' case. Concurrently, closing statements have commenced in the trial of former President Hashim Thaçi, who faces accusations of obstructing justice.
Other notable events include the appointment of Kreshnik Kaçi as the head of Administrative Courts, an arrest of a doctor in Leposaviq for failing to report a death, and the transfer of an arms trafficker from Albania to Kosovo, alongside an extradition from Germany. Local concerns persist with Drenas experiencing a multi-day water shortage, prompting Mayor Lladrovci to threaten legal action, while a ministry has invested 2.3 million in the municipality's localities.
