Parliamentary elections were held in the UN-administered Kosovo on 24 October 2004. They were the second elections for the Transitional Assembly following the establishment of the United Nations Interim Administration in 1999. The elections were supervised by the OSCE Mission in Kosovo.[1][2]

The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) remained the largest party, winning 47 of the 120 seats in the Assembly. As no party had absolute majority, a coalition government was formed by the LDK and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), with the AAK's leader Ramush Haradinaj becoming prime minister.
