Kosovo leftists take power, promising jobs and jabs
Albin Kurti vows to bring vaccines and jobs
23 March, 10:19
(ANSA-AFP) - PRISTINA, MAR 23 - Kosovo's leftists formed a
new government Monday after vanquishing the old guard in a
landslide election win last month, with Prime Minister Albin
Kurti vowing to bring vaccines and jobs to a pandemic-weary
public. Kurti, the firebrand head of the anti-establishment
Vetevendosje party, and his cabinet were voted in by 67 deputies
in the 120-seat parliament, with 30 votes against. The election
marks the third change of government since the pandemic hit
Kosovo, claiming nearly 1,800 lives and exacerbating economic,
social and public health crises in the former Serbian province.
While most of Europe has been vaccinating its public for months, Kosovo, one of its poorest regions, is still struggling to secure jabs for its 1.8 million people. (ANSA-AFP).
