There may be requirements for extraordinary session, but the session for election of the president cannot have without at least two candidates. The election of the president should take place no later than 30 days before the end of the current president's mandate. The constitutional deadline is March 5, 2026.

In the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, the constitutional point referring to the appointment of the president and the completion of the constitutional mandate is Article 86. Point 2 of this article says: “The election of the president of the Republic of Kosovo must take place no later than thirty days before the end of the current president's mandate. ”

Meanwhile, the current president, Vjosa Osmani, was elected president of the Republic of Kosovo on April 4th, 2021 by the Kosovo Assembly. It received votes in the third round of voting by the Parliament's deputies for a five-year term. /Periscopi/
