Kosovo held parliamentary elections on Sunday, with an estimated 2 million citizens eligible to vote. The incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti's left-wing Vetevendosje party is expected to win the most votes, but is unlikely to secure a majority. Kurti's government has sought to strengthen Kosovo's institutions and enact economic reforms, but has also taken steps to curtail Serbian influence in the north, which has angered ethnic Serbs and escalated tensions with Serbia.
Meanwhile, truck manufacturers are grappling with the challenge of reducing emissions from their vehicles. While electric batteries are becoming increasingly viable for smaller vehicles, the heavy-duty trucking industry faces unique challenges due to the long distances and heavy loads involved. Electric batteries are becoming more efficient and affordable, but some manufacturers believe that hydrogen fuel cells will be necessary for the heaviest loads. Hydrogen fuel cells offer the advantage of fast refueling, but are currently less efficient than electric batteries and require a robust hydrogen infrastructure.
