Kosovo approves former leftist rebel as PM Kosovo's parliament vote to appoint new Prime Minister Albin Kurti after four months of haggling over government positions, raising hopes that long-frozen talks with Serbia might resume. Once dubbed "Kosovo's Che Guevara", Kurti is a former political prisoner who has led sometimes violent street riots and raucous parliamentary disturbances. His left-wing Vetevendosje party and the centre-right Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) have forged a coalition after the two parties won most of the seats in a snap election last October.
