The President is the head of state and represents the unity of the people of the Republic of Kosovo, states Article 83 of the Kosovo constitution. The next President who shall embody this unity has to be appointed no later than April 6-th, as the six-month mandate of the current Acting President Vjosa Osmani will come to an end. Ms. Osmani assumed the role of the Acting President in November 2020, following the resignation of the then President Hashim Thaçi due his indictment from the Specialist Court.
