DW: Leftist-nationalist Vetevendosje edges ahead after Kosovo vote

The ruling alliance in Kosovo has lost the election, but the winner remains unclear. Incomplete results show leftist-nationalist Vetevendosje (Self-Determination) just ahead the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).

Vetevendosje (Self-Determination) snatched 26% of the vote at the Sunday's parliamentary election, in Kosovo, barely edging out another opposition party, the LDK, which claimed around 25% according to an early count.
