| Constitution and law |
The Assembly of Kosovo (Template:Lang-sq; Template:Lang-sr) was originally established by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo in 2001[2] to provide 'provisional, democratic self-government'.
On February 17, 2008, representatives of the people of Kosovo[3] 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.[4]
