According to his biography, Kurteshi was born on June 5, 1960, in Gjilan. But what remains unclear is whether this will be the last day of [the] engagement....
But what remains unclear is whether this will be the last day of his commitment to this institution or Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani will not respect the Labour Law in Kosovo, reports Periscope.
The Labour Law in Kosovo, in Article 67, envisions limiting the working relationship, which should be stopped when the employee turns retirement age, aged 65.

According to the Constitution, The CEC is a permanent body and the work of this institution is constantly organised and not only during elections.
This means that the 11 CEC members appointed by the president of the Republic are not members similar to the members of other state agencies that are founded by the Parliament and that their work is part-time organised.
The representative of Albin Kurti's party in the CEC, Kurteshi, is known for his arrogant conduct in relation to the media and especially for frequent clashes at the Counting and Results Centre during the vote count in the recent parliamentary elections that were held in February of this year. /Periscope/
