Kosovo Serb political representatives are divided over participation in the 8 June parliamentary elections. Serb politicians in northern Kosovo are threatening to boycott the elections if the Central Election Committee (CEC) does not remove the logo of the “state of Kosovo” from voting ballots. On the other hand, other Serb political representatives say they will continue their election campaigns and participate in the elections regardless of the decision by the Serbian List. CEC officials told the paper they would not remove the logo from the ballot and this is their final position. Nemanja Jaksic, a Serb politician from northern Kosovo, said, “We have already announced that the four northern municipalities have ceased their election campaigns, because we don’t want the logo of the ‘Republic of Kosovo’ on the ballot. We want the ballots to be changed; otherwise we will not take part in elections”. Slavisa Petkovic, a former minister in the Kosovo government, said his party, the Democratic Movement for Prosperity, will not boycott the elections. “The Brussels agreement is very clear about this. Point 11 notes that participation in elections occurs in accordance with the laws and constitution of Kosovo. Therefore, the design of the ballot is not important. The warning coming from the Serbian List is a clear indicator of its future actions in the Assembly of Kosovo. Their action will be a setback for all processes,” Petkovic said. Tribuna reports on the front page that Marko Jaksic, the former leader of parallel structures in northern Kosovo, criticized the latest warning coming from the Serbian List saying that the latter is “trying to score small political points”. “In the end however, they will accept anything that Pristina and Brussels say,” Jaksic said. Meanwhile, Belgrade-based political analyst Dusan Janjic said he expects Belgrade to instruct Serbs as soon as possible to participate in Kosovo’s parliamentary elections.
