Irregularities the international community noted during the extraordinary parliamentary elections in Kosovo, made Pristina enable Serbs to get the Kosovo documents, that would significantly increase the number of Serb voters in Kosovo, Sputnik reported.
Number of around100.000 Serbs who had the right to vote in the concluded extraordinary elections in Kosovo, could double following the entry into force of an administrative instruction simplifying procedures to get the Kosovo documents, upon proposal of the Civil Registry Agency in Pristina.
If everything goes according to plan, almost double number of Serb voters could have the right to vote in the forthcoming Kosovo local elections.
Goran Rakic, chair of the Srpska Lista stated to Sputnik that this instruction was made almost six months ago, but did not enter into force as there was no one to sign it.
Rakic thinks it is about mere obstruction as this instruction goes in favor of the Serbs. He further explained that new instruction would enable recognition of all marriages since 2000 and their enrollment into the Kosovo registry. The same applies to the children born in such marriages who are today persons eligible to vote.
Rakic also noted, he thinks the implementation of this instruction would start following Kosovo local elections, as it is not in favor of Pristina to even make public a number of Serb returnees, let alone to register new voters, in particular the Serbs.
However, negotiation on formation of the government awaits us, without our list no one can establish the government in Pristina, and we will, in case we agree on coalition, do our utmost to avoid getting empty promises but a guarantee that all what has been agreed upon will be in fact implemented, Rakic concluded.
