Kosovo parliament elects new president,

Kosovo’s parliament elected economist Justina Shiroka Pula as the country’s largely ceremonial president just before a constitutional deadline, avoiding another snap election in one of the poorest countries in Europe.
She received 81 votes, one more than she needed, in the 120-seat parliament in the early minutes of Wednesday.
Failure to elect a new president would have triggered snap parliamentary elections in the Balkan country, as it did in June.
Shiroka Pula’s election followed a deal between the ruling Vetevendosje party of Prime Minister Albin Kurti and opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo to limit the powers of a Kosovo war crimes court in The Hague.
