Kosovo holds elections amid political deadlock
Kosovo is having very important elections on December 28.
The country has been stuck in a political deadlock for a year, which has caused problems.
The current prime minister, Albin Kurti, wants to win again, but other parties don't want to work with him.
If no one wins clearly, it could cause more problems.
Kosovo needs money from the EU and World Bank to help its people, but the political problems are delaying this money.
People are hoping for a good result so that things can improve in Kosovo.
Kosovo holds elections on December 28 after a year-long political stalemate.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party won the last election but failed to secure a majority.
Opposition parties are unwilling to form a government with Kurti due to tensions with ethnic Serbs and other issues.
Delayed EU and World Bank funds totaling nearly 1 billion euros are at risk due to the political deadlock.
Kurti promises to increase salaries, invest in capital projects, and fight organized crime if re-elected.
