Context

Albin Kurti became prime minister weeks earlier. He is live. ukraine-war is not attached. Territorial-revisionism is not the home.

Election 4 April 2021; CoE application 12 May 2022. Store the Assembly vote. Keep Kosovo Assembly elects Vjosa Osmani president on 2021-04-04 separate from neighbouring 4 April 2021 election, 12 May 2022 CoE application, May 2023 northern clashes, and 2025–26 succession stall.

A CoE application is not a completed accession.
