      <text>In Kosovo, the acting presidency of Albulena Haxhiu became &quot;de facto&quot; due to her having continuously served in the position for more than six months since assuming office on 4 April, violating the third paragraph of Article 90 in the constitution. The Kuvendi, which is set to meet for amendments to the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, has two days left until the presidential election deadline by the Constitutional Court expires. </text>
