Kosovo’s parliament has appointed a 38-year-old U.S. Educated female law professor and candidate of the ruling Vetevendosje party as the country’s new president, following an election in February.
Vjosa Osmani took over as acting president of Kosovo last November when her predecessor, Hashim Thaci, resigned ahead of his impending war crimes trial in the Netherlands.
The 38-year-old Vjosa Osmani was elected as the President of Kosovo after garnering 71 votes from the 82 lawmakers present in the 120-seat parliament.
Vjosa Osmani took office on Tuesday, as the new president of Kosovo for a 5 year term.
She's the second female president of Kosovo, following Atifete Jahjaga, who served from 2011 - 2016.
