2007 parliamentary elections in Kosovo were parliamentary elections, held in the UN-administered Kosovo on 17 November 2007, alongside the local municipal elections. Those were third elections for the Transitional Assembly of Kosovo since the establishment of the United Nations Interim Administration (UNMIK) in 1999. Elections were supervised by the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, and also monitored by the Council of Europe Mission in Kosovo. The elections were scheduled by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Joachim Rücker (head of the UNMIK) on 1 September 2007. Those were the first parliamentary elections in Kosovo to be held under open list proportional representation, while the previous 2001 and 2004 elections had been held under a closed list system.

Results

On 17 November 2007, voters elected 120 members of the unicameral Assembly, the legislative branch of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government, created by UNMIK. Electoral process was monitored and its outcome certified by UNMIK and OSCE.

Participation of Serbs

Major political parties of Serbs in Kosovo abstained from participation, that led to the very low turnout of voters from that community, since only minor Serbian parties and civic lists (eight in total) took part in the electoral process. The ten seats reserved for Serbs were thus divided between six electoral lists. Of those ten seats, six were won by four parties which on 5 December decided to form a post-electoral coalition: Slaviša Petković's Serb Democratic Party of Kosovo and Metohija, Dragiša Mirić's Serb Kosovo-Metohija Party, Mihajl Šćepanović's Serb People's Party and Nebojša Živić's Union of Independent Social Democrats of Kosovo and Metohija.
