My second regret is not learning the language.
Any of the indigenous ones from the Balkans, really.
I only picked up 2 words: the constant asserting of "malaka" from the Greeks in every other sentence, and "kurva" from the Poles.
(I served in a multinational NATO command). Good times, mang.
Albanian is not a Slavic language so I am not sure whether they use the same word, but I assume it could very much be understood.
Regarding the elections: LVV just fell short of an absolute majority (due to minority representatives), but as the diaspora vote hasn't been fully counted yet (afaik), it is not impossible that Albin Kurti could govern without a partner.
The elections were quite civil according to Balkan standards, the opposition parties have all conceded already.
Hungarian isn't a Slavic language either (not even Indo-European, in fact) but it does use "kurva", and some other Slavic swearwords as well. I imagine same would apply to Albanian, especially in Kosovo.
A bit more on topic: do the Serbian minority representative have an Albanian (Kosovar, whatever) party of choice they'd consider lesser evil?
