Kosovo looked set for a period of political uncertainty on Monday as the major political parties ruled out coalition building after an election in which the ruling party fell short of an outright majority.

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.
