The Assembly of Kosovo (Albanian: Kuvendi i Kosovës; Serbian: Скупштина Косова/Skupština Kosova) was originally established by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo in 2001[3] to provide 'provisional, democratic self-government'.
On February 17, 2008, representatives of the people of Kosovo[4] declared that Kosovo is independent from Serbia and subsequently adopted a constitution, which came into effect on 15 June 2008.
The Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo[a] is regulated by the Constitution of Kosovo and has 120 members; of these, 100 are directly voted into the Assembly whilst the rest are reserved as follows:
- 10 seats for the representatives of the Serbs.
- 4 seats for the representatives of the Romani, Ashkali and Egyptians.

- 2 seats for the Turks.
- 1 seat for the Gorans.[5]

Notes and references
Notes:
a. | ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received formal recognition as an independent state from 111 out of 193 United Nations member states. |
