The Central Election Commission of Kosovo has announced that the counting of votes in Municipal Counting Centers will begin on June 8. In some municipalities it will start at 16:00 in the afternoon, while in smaller municipalities it will begin at 09:00 in the morning.
The Chair of the CEC, Kreshnik Radoniqi, said that the final result will be announced only after all diaspora votes have been counted, including postal votes, votes cast at diplomatic missions, conditional votes, and votes from persons with special needs.
