Valdete Daka, head of the Central Election Commission (CEC) said in an interview for Radio Free Europe that all election votes have been counted except for conditional ones and those from the Diaspora.

She said the final results would be announced after review and verification of all election material and of complaints filed with the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel. This, according to Daka, could take up to three weeks.

Asked about 52,000 invalid ballots, Daka said the problem is reappearing because Kosovo headed to snap elections. “Short timeframes affect information of the public, especially the young voters. There may be other reasons as well”, Daka said explaining that the exact reasons will be identified during the analyzing of the election process.
