The President of Kosovo (Albanian: Presidenti i Kosovës; Serbian: Председник Косова, romanizedPredsednik Kosova), officially the President of the Republic of Kosovo (Albanian: Presidenti i Republikës së Kosovës; Serbian: Председник Републике Косова, romanizedPredsednik Republike Kosova), is the head of state of Kosovo. The president is elected indirectly by the parliament through a secret ballot, requiring a two-thirds majority of deputies in office. If no candidate achieves the two-thirds majority, in the third round of voting, the candidate who receives a simple majority is elected.[2] The vote in parliament must take place no later than one month before the end of the incumbent president's term.[3] The president serves a five-year term, which is renewable once.
