Serbia’s general elections also in Kosovo (Koha Ditore)
Serbia’s general elections are expected to be held also in Kosovo, and OSCE will be most probably requested to offer technical help.
There will be no local elections of Serbia, being that Brussels agreement obliges Kosovo Serbs to hold their elections according to Kosovo’s election system.
Head of the Council for Kosovo at the Serbian Assembly, Milovan Drecun, told Belgrade media that Serbia’s general elections will be held in Kosovo, no matter eventual obstacles by Pristina.
According to the political analyst, Dusan Janjic, there is a chance for Belgrade and Pristina to agree on holding Serbia’s general elections in Kosovo.
“Serbs in Kosovo carry Serbian citizenship therefore they do have the right to vote and Serbia’s parliament is not a “parallel institution.” The other alibi that Belgrade could use in discussions with the international community is that the status of Kosovo remains unresolved,” Janjic said. He added that local elections cannot be held in Kosovo being that Belgrade is obliged to disintegrate Serbia’s local government structures.
