2016 Kosovan presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Kosovo on 26 February 2016. They had originally been planned for 2013 following constitutional changes expected to be passed after the compromise reached after the indirect 2011 election. However, on 6 July 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled that the presidential term could not be cut short in this way.
