With 66 votes in favor, 44 against and 8 abstentions, Albulena Haxhiu (from the Vetëvendosje Movement) was elected Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo for the tenth legislature.

In her first speech as the new Speaker of the Parliament of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, said that she will repay the trust placed in her to take this position with daily work, transparency and full dedication.
"Today I take on this task with full awareness of the constitutional weight it carries. I will honor this trust with daily work, transparency and full dedication. My task will be for the Assembly to function with dignity, transparency and mutual respect, in accordance with the Constitution, laws and parliamentary practices. I will strive for each of you to find your space here with the same dignity and respect, because a functional Assembly is a prerequisite for a strong state and a stable democracy ," she said.
The election of the 5 deputy speakers of the Assembly was then put to the vote. Ardian Gola of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Vlora Çitaku of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Kujtim Shala of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Emilja Rexhepi of the multiethnic group and Slavko Simić of the Serbian List were elected new deputy speakers of the Assembly of Kosovo.
