Despite instances of aggressive campaigning, election day was overall calm and orderly, said EU election observers in the preliminary report on Kosovo’s mayoral runoffs.

“These were highly competitive elections,” said Alojz Peterle, Chief Observer of the European Union Election Observation Mission to Kosovo, EUEOM, at the publication of the mission’s preliminary report on the second round of mayoral elections.

The campaigning atmosphere and voting process was, overall, calm and orderly, he said. Counting of the ballots was also mostly efficient and transparent.
