The Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo (Albanian: Kuvendi i Republikës së Kosovës; Serbian: Скупштина самопрокламоване државе Косово) was originally established by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo in 2001[2] to provide 'provisional, democratic self-government'.


On February 17, 2008, representatives of the people of Kosovo[3] declared that Kosovo is independent from Serbia and subsequently adopted a constitution, which came into effect on 15 June 2008.


The Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo[a] is regulated by the Constitution of Kosovo and has 120 members; of these, 100 are directly voted into the Assembly whilst the rest are reserved as follows:



  • 10 seats for the representatives of the Serbs.

  • 4 seats for the representatives of the Romani, Ashkali and Egyptians.

  • 3 seats for the Bosniaks.

  • 2 seats for the Turks.

  • 1 seat for the Gorans.[4]


Albanian is the official language of the majority, but all languages of minorities such as Serbian, Turkish and Bosnian are used, with simultaneous interpretation.

Notes and references


Notes:





a.

^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has been recognized as an independent state by 113 out of 193 United Nations member states, 10 of which have subsequently withdrawn recognition.
