➡️ The development will feature six distinct thematic zones—including Dracula's castle, a Transylvanian village, and Victorian London—alongside a 22.5-thousand-spectator arena, a water park, three hotels, an outlet village, and a dedicated race track.

—🗳🇽🇰 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.

—🗳🇽🇰 WATCH: The electoral process across the northern Serb-majority municipalities concluded peacefully with no security disruptions recorded.

➡️ This calm environment stands in stark contrast to the 2014 elections in the same region, which were heavily marred by widespread violence and the erection of barricades.
