The Central Election Commission (CEC) is nearing the completion of the conditional vote count from the February 9 parliamentary elections in Kosovo.
According to the latest update on the CEC website in the early hours of Wednesday, 78.57 percent of conditional votes have been counted.
The Vetëvendosje Movement won 40.21 percent, or 2,634 conditional votes.
Second is the Democratic Party of Kosovo with 18.11 percent, or 1,186 votes, followed by the Democratic League of Kosovo with 13.54 percent, or 887 votes, the Serbian List with 11.37 percent, or 745 votes, and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and Initiative with 6.21 percent, or 407 votes.
The counting of conditional votes and votes from people with disabilities began this Tuesday, the day the counting of postal votes ended, and is expected to conclude today, according to CEC officials.
CEC officials have said that the vote counting process is expected to be completed on March 5.
With the current results, which include votes at polling stations in Kosovo, those at diplomatic missions, and by mail, no party has secured enough numbers to govern alone.
To have a majority, at least 61 deputies are needed in the 120-seat Assembly of Kosovo.
As the leading party, Vetëvendosje currently has 48 MPs.
Its leader, Prime Minister Albin Kurti, has pledged to form the government independently.
The parties currently in the opposition, except for Nisma, have ruled out the possibility of a coalition with him.
The vote counting process is currently in its fourth week.
The CEC is expected to certify the results in the middle of this month.
Analysts say there are several possible options for forming the new government./ REL (A2 Televizion)
