The 120-seat parliament, which convened in an extraordinary session for two days, gave 71 votes for Vjosa Osmani, a 38-year-old former parliamentary speaker, in the third round of voting, while 11 votes were invalid. Two opposition parties and the ethnic Serb minority party boycotted the voting.More Related News
