The current voting turnout in Kosovo's local elections runs by the rules, said the Head of the EU Monitoring Mission Alojz Peterle, during his visit to polling station in Gračanica.

"I want the whole day to pass in a positive and peaceful atmosphere, that people have the opportunity to express their political will," said Peterle to KIM radio.

However, he pointed out that in one polling station one woman could not exercise the right to vote because she was not on the voter list. In this regard, he pointed the need of reform of the voters' lists, to which the European Union, in its earlier recommendations, pointed to the authorities in Kosovo.
