- Kosovo will hold a third election within 18 months, scheduled for Sunday, according to AP.
- Snap election called amid a political impasse, with Reuters describing it as another snap election as the crisis drags on.
- Ex-president warns that Kosovo's path toward NATO and the EU is at risk because of the political stalemate, per Politico.
- Voters return to the polls for the snap election, Reuters reports.
Why it matters: Kosovo's political deadlock risks delaying its NATO and EU integration, hurting reform‑seeking politicians and businesses that depend on European market access, while opposition parties hope the snap vote can shift power.
