Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti reports that Stevan Veselinovic, a member of the Serbian List in the CEC, said that this decision was completely political and against the democratic rights of the Serbian people, that it was violation of all elementary rights of the Serbs.

Central Election Commission confirmed the candidacies of representatives of the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Self-Determination Movement, but not the representatives of the Serbian List, reports Serbian media.
According to RTS, members of the Election Commission from the Self-Determination Movement abstained during the voting and thus prevented the acceptance of the Serbian List candidate in this decision-making circle.
It is necessary to determine whether Rada Trajkovic is telling the truth or what kind of evidence she has to be making „dangerous and shameful allegations“ of „state terrorism“ in the case of the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, the Head of the Kosovo Office, Marko Djuric reacted to Trajkovic’s guest appearance on TV N1 today, during which she spoke about the allegations coming from Djuric, the President of Serbia and the tabloids that her testimony to the Kosovo Prosecutor’s Office allegedly led to the extension of the custody of two suspected Serbs.
The leader of the European Movement of Serbs from Kosovo, Rada Trajkovic stated on the New Day (Novi Dan) talk-show on N1 that obstruction of the investigation of Oliver Ivanovic’s murder comes „directly from the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.“ Trajkovic assessed Ivanovic’s murder as „state terrorism,“ while reminding the public that two candidates for the position of mayorof North Mitrovica – who were not from the ranks of Srpska Lista – were assassinated; furthermore, none of the Kosovo Serbian representatives except those from Srpska Lista registered for the upcoming mayoral electio
Serbian List states that today’s press release of Slavisa Ristic and Marko Jaksic has shown all of the hypocrisy, both their own and also the hypocrisy of Djilas's and Jeremic’s Alliance for Serbia, reports Zvecan based TV Most.
Former Kosovo Minister and member of the Serbian List Ivan Todosijevic told Zvecan based TV Most that he expected such a sequence of events after the dismissal of Minister Rikalo.
By gathering evidence during the investigation, we have come to the reasonable suspicion that Radoicic worked with people who are now in custody, and who are suspected of having participated or assisting the perpetrators of the murder of the SDP leader, Oliver Ivanovic. Of course, all this has yet to be confirmed, says the Kosovo Special Prosecutor, Sylë Hoxha to the Belgrade based weekly NIN, KIM radio is quoting.

After the meeting, Vucic said in a press conference that he advised them to wait for talks in Berlin, where he will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, reports Belgrade based news agency Beta.
