—🗳🇽🇰 NEW: Kosovo exit polls show Kurti's party leading but short of outright majority.

➡️ Exit polls from the parliamentary election indicate that Prime Minister Albin Kurti's Vetëvendosje (LVV) remains the largest political force in Kosovo, though initial projections suggest it currently lacks the numbers to form a government or elect a president without an opposition coalition.

➡️ However, because diaspora vote projections have historically underestimated Vetëvendosje's final share, analysts note the party could still secure an outright parliamentary majority as official ballot counting begins.
