> Kosovo’s parliament has approved a new government led by acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, ending three months of paralysis but setting up a constitutional showdown over the presidency. The government won 62 of 120 votes. Failure to elect a president would trigger Kosovo’s fourth snap election in two years, while the political crisis and stalled EU-related reforms are expected to continue.
