I also hope that we will have elections with the highest possible participation of citizens of our Republic who have the right to vote. As always, elections are an important democratic process in which decision-making returns to our citizens. Naturally, I hope that the results of these elections will lead to the swift formation of the Parliament and the election of the Government of Kosovo, which are essential for important internal and international processes for our Republic. I would like to thank all institutions that have been engaged and continue to be engaged throughout today to ensure that this electoral process is as orderly as possible\u2014from the Central Election Commission to our security institutions and judicial bodies.
