Members of the Serbian national forum (SNF) welcome the visit of Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, but they complained that he decided to come to Gracanica during the election campaign. SNF made an announcement stating that the visit of Aleksandar Vucic to Kosovo and Metohija, although announced in December last year, “was rescheduled exactly for the time when election campaign for Mayor of Gracanica is on-going. In that way his visit presents preparation for another scenario of deepening divisions among voters. "

"As the forerunner of the visit of Serbian Prime Minister to Kosovo and Metohija in Gracanica municipality arrived the entire state machinery that has already been put into operation. Regardless of the fact that the organizers very unconvincingly try to present the visit as an encouragement to the Kosovo Serbs to survive and stay in their homes, on the ground, unfortunately, the visit showed that it is primarily organized to give support to a sole candidate: the candidate of The Serbian List for mayor of Gracanica," was said in the statement submitted to our office.

SNF believes that "the Serbian PM should also talk with other candidates for the mayor," and that "his invitation to the candidate of SNS (Progressive Party, whose Leader Vucic is) he publicly promote partiality, at the place where it is least needed."

SNF wishes welcome to the Prime Minister Vucic, with the message “to leave the elections aside and support the free will of the people”.
