Supporters of the New Party of Kosovo whose president is Dragisa Miric, candidate for mayor of Gracanica, used the first day of the election campaign for the distribution of fliers and calendars and talks with the voters. Miric said for RTV Kim that the citizens of this municipality are mostly annoyed by unemployment. 

"People live from some vouchers and social assistance. Citizens are mostly annoyed by the nepotism, i.e. the fact that in the last fifteen years a membership in the party was the only criteria for the employment. " 

Mirić urged voters to vote for him on 18 January. "I certainly will not disappoint them. I promised that I would, within two years hire about five hundred people. If I don’t do it then I will resign. If I will be the mayor of Gracanica, my salary will be allocated for the poor and sick people," said Miric.
