Kosovo lawmakers elect Osmani as country's 2nd female President
Kosovo's Parliament on Sunday elected 38-year-old US-educated law professor Vjosa Osmani as the new President, the country's second female leader in the post-war period. Seventy-one lawmakers voted to elect Osmani in a 120-member parliament. Former President Hashim Thaçi, a wartime hero who turned politician, resigned ahead of his impending war crimes trial in the Netherlands.
