Former Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has been barred from running in the country s parliamentary elections next month.
Kosovo s election authorities excluded Kurti due to his sentencing for a crime in the last three years, which makes him ineligible as a candidate.
The Central Election Commission and the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel has also ruled against other potential candidates from Kurti s Self-Determination Movement, or Vetevendosje! party.
Other parties candidates, who have received recent criminal sentences, have also been barred.
In 2018, Kurti and other lawmakers were sentenced for using tear gas and other violent acts to disrupt Kosovo s parliamentary proceedings.
Whatever the outcome of opposition appeals that are still pending, critics are sure to attack the resulting vote as rigged and will possibly boycott.
But to some of the hundreds of thousands of people who fled the former province during and since a battle for independence from the Yugoslav constituent republic of Serbia in the late 1990s and their descendants, it won t matter who s on the ballot if they can t even register to vote.
After acting President Vjosa Osmani scheduled next month s snap national elections to replace a government declared illegitimate by the courts, the Central Election Commission on January 11 gave Kosovars outside the country just 10 days to register to vote.
