Kosovo's ruling party leads in parliamentary elections, fails to secure majority

In Kosovo's parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Albin Kurti's ruling party led with the most seats although exit polls indicate it fell short of a majority. In Sunday's election, Kurti's campaign to stamp out Serbian influence in Kosovo clashed with the opposition's promise to stimulate the economy in one of Europe's most impoverished areas. With no party winning a clear majority in the 120-seat assembly, extended coalition talks are likely.
