Klan Kosova reports that there is a large interest of Serb voters to take part in Serbian presidential elections at the polling stations opened across Kosovo and that at the largest polling station, the technical high school in Mitrovica North, uniformed men were seen monitoring the voting process. These men are reported to be wearing black uniforms with the Serbian flag sign on their sleeves.

Kosovo lawyer Arianit Koci who also represents the AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj wrote on Facebook that Serbian presidential elections are taking place on the day when 18 years ago Serb forces killed 86 civilians in the village of Krelan, Gjakova/Djakovica municipality. “While we mark today the 18th anniversary of the killing of 86 civilians in Krelan of Gjakova by Serb military and police troops, Serbian presidential elections are taking place in Kosovo. No one has apologised for monstrous crimes of Serbian genocidal regimes,” Koci wrote.

Officials from the Serbian Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) announced that the voter turnout for presidential elections until 10 o’clock was 10.56 percent. The turnout in central Serbia by this time was 9.73 per cent, in Vojvodina 12.06 percent and in Belgrade 9.79. As for Kosovo, the OSCE spokesperson Senad Sabovic told Serbian media that the voter turnout in 90 polling stations across Kosovo has been 5.23 percent by 10 o’clock. According to Sabovic, the voting is going well and no major irregularities have been reported.

Prime Minister Aleksander Vucic is the frontrunner in a crowded field that includes a 25-year-old satirist. Serbia's presidency is largely ceremonial, but critics worry Vucic would use the role to consolidate his power.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić says that Belgrade is trying to be constructive, but that Pristina constantly provokes, as it happened today with preventing people to go to the pre-election rally, and setting up the barricades.

"What is this for?" asked Dačić at a news conference, adding that the elections in Kosovo are organized with the help of the OSCE, adding that he does not see why the authorities in Pristina have opposed such a decision.

Provincial Board of the Socialist Party of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija harshly condemned the roadblocks placed against those who were en route to Leposavić/Leposaviq.

Vice President of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and Director of the Office for KiM Marko Đurić says that the barricades, placed this morning throughout Kosovo, were synchronized and were an organized action, and in fact are an attack on Serbs in Kosovo, their freedom of movement, and their right to elect.

More than 60 buses carrying Serbs that were going for the SNS rally (organized for the the party's candidate Aleksandar Vučić in the Serbian presidental elections) were stopped this morning in several places south of the Ibar.

As daily Blic reports, the provincial committee of the Serbian Progressive Party reported that about 3 000 people have been prevented to go to the rally in Leposavić/Leposaviq.

Serbian PM and presidential candidate Aleksandar Vucic has announced that he would not travel to Kosovo where he was to hold a rally in Leposavic on Wednesday.

"I will not take orders from them (Pristina) on whether I would arrive with Vulin, Stefanovic, or somebody else. You won't see that movie," he said late on Tuesday, adding that he canceled the trip "so as not to expose Serbs from Kosovo to unpleasantness."
