Kosovar President Vjosa Osmani has set February 9, 2025, as the date for regular parliamentary elections in the Balkan country. Osmani signed a decree saying the date was set after consultations with the political parties and the Central Election Commission. Osmani's political adviser, Bekim Kupina, said February 9 was chosen as "the optimal date that balances the preferences of all difficult parties." Kupina quoted the presidency as saying it was important that the election campaign begin after January 7, the end of winter holidays. He also noted that Osmani has invited the EU to send a mission for a preliminary assessment and will turn to the EU again to request election observers.

    RFE/RL's Kosovo Service

    RFE/RL's Kosovo Service is one of the most credible media in Kosovo. Since 1999, it has played a prominent role in a multiethnic society by delivering the truth, covering under-reported issues in depth, and giving a voice to survivors of wartime rape, victims of domestic violence, marginalized minority groups, and future decision-makers.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
