Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s leftwing party has won most seats in the weekend parliamentary election but was left without a majority in the house, forcing it to look for an ally to form the next government.

Kosovo's ruling Vetevendosje party is on track to come first in Sunday's parliamentary election, but it fell short of an outright majority needed to rule without coalition partners, preliminary results showed on Monday.

Kosovo's electoral commission announced that Prime Minister Albin Kurti's ruling party was on track to win 41% of the vote, leaving it ahead but without a majority government, which could lead to coalition talks.
