June 29 (SeeNews) - An alliance of three democratic parties - PDK, AAK and Nisma - all of them led by former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leaders, won the June 11 snap elections, garnering 33.74% of votes, the final official results showed on Thursday.
The coalition will have 39 MPs in the 120-seat parliament, according to final results from the Central Election Commission.
The Nationalist Self-Determination party came in second with 27.49% voter support giving it 32 seats, and a three-party alliance led by the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) followed with 25.53%, or 29 seats.
The ethnic Serb party Serb List is fourth on 6.12% of the votes. It will control nine of the ten seats reserved for the Serb minority.
A total of 20 seats in Albania's parliament are reserved for minorities.
A political formation needs to be backed by at least 61 MPs to form a government.
Before the election, both the LDK-led alliance and the Self-Determination party declared they would not enter into a government coalition with PDK.
One of the PDK-AAK-Nisma alliance's candidates for prime minister is AAK leader and former KLA commander Ramush Haradinaj, twice indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and found not guilty both times.
Prior to the elections, Haradinaj promised that if elected, his government would focus on the country's economic development and the rule of law, and that he would include the United States in Kosovo's dialogue with Serbia.
