The mandates are still in the mist (Vecernje Novosti)
Who will be the Serbian MP in the Kosovo parliament will be clear soon, because it is expected that Central Election Commission (CEC) completes counting the votes of displaced persons and conditional votes.
Regardless of the number of mandates for the Serbian List, they will not be assigned according to the coalition agreement. The voters, beside the vote for the List, had to vote for one up to five candidates. Consequently, MPs will be those who won the most votes.
Counting procedure is extremely complicated because, for example, a ballot on which are accidentally rounded up six candidates is considered "partially" correct. The actual vote goes to the candidate under number one, even if his name is not among the six, chosen by the voter.
According to Aleksandar Jablanovic president of the Serbian List, the announced meeting with Prime Minister Vucic will be held as soon it will be clear who will be the Serbian MPs.
Deputy leader of CI "SDP" Ksenija Bozovic believes that members of that party will enter the parliament because, as she says, they are people with political experience. “It is very important that in the Parliament we have capable people, because there sit the Albanian "experienced wolves," says Bozovic.
Sasa Milosavljevic, who was the head of the parliamentary group of Independent Liberal Party (SLS) in the previous Kosovo parliament, did not want to bid the number of seats his party will have: “The system is arranged so that MP positions are assigned to the people who indebted citizens with previous results, and it is natural that people vote for those whom they know, who are in their immediate vicinity.”
The observers of the Albanian parties virtually stopped the counting of conditional votes sent by mail and votes of the people with disabilities and thus boycotted counting of the Serbian votes. They left the Counting Center because they claim that all the ballots of the Serbs were filled in by one person.
