Vetevendosje Movement won over 50% of conditional votes in the snap elections held on February 14 in Kosovo.

Elezi announced that the counting of votes received via mail has started on Tuesday at the Center of Counting and Results.
He said that there are 56,610 ballot envelopes received by post to be counted, but could not tell how long this process will take.
“It is difficult to say how many days we will need for the counting of these votes because there are 56,610 ballots envelopes. There are 45 tables in which the votes will be counted,” Elezi said.
He said that this is the final phase before the final results are published.
