PRISTINA - Kosovo's Central Election Commission (CEC) has announced the final results of the early June snap parliamentary elections in Kosovo-Metohija, according to which most seats in the new session of the provincial assembly, 37, go to a coalition led by Hasim Taci’s Democratic Party of Kosovo, and Serbs will have 10 members to represent them.

When it comes to the Serb lists, Srpska, which won 5.22 percent of the vote, will get nine seats, and the tenth will be taken by the Progressive Democratic Party, headed by Nenad Rasic.

The second highest number of seats, 30, was won by the Democratic League of Kosovo, followed by Self-Determination, which will have 16, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo with 11, the Initiative for Kosovo with six and the Turkish, Bosniak, Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities sharing a total of 10 seats.

Bedzet Pacoli’s New Kosovo Alliance was below the threshold.

The Serb lawmakers to represent the Srpska list are Bojan Mitic, Velimir Rakic, Slavko Simic, Slobodan Petrovic, Sasa Milosavljevic, Milka Vuletic, Milena Milicevic, Jasmina Zivkovic and Jelena Bontic. The tenth member from the Serb community will be Progressive Democratic Party leader Nenad Rasic.

The 120-seat assembly needs to ensure the support of at least 61 MPs to be set up.
