Kosovo's parliament on Sunday night swore in Vjosa Osmani, the former speaker of parliament and ally of Albin Kurti's Vetevendosje! movement, as president.
A total of 71 lawmakers in the 120-seat parliament voted in favour of Osmani, with two opposition parties boycotting the vote along with the Serb minority party.
Osmani becomes the second female leader in Kosovo since the Balkan nation declared independence from Serbia 13 years ago.
She had been acting president since November 2020, when former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leader and president Hashim Thaci resigned after his indictment for war crimes by an international court in the Hague.
