Ahead of the seventh extraordinary parliamentary elections in Kosovo scheduled for October 6, the Kosovo Serb political scene is divided over whether to participate in these elections, or not, while those willing to take a chance are confronted by the in so far major Kosovo Serb force – Serbian List (Srpska Lista).
Serb National Movement Fatherland once again called for the boycott of the upcoming mayoral elections in the four northern municipalities, claiming that “the current regime of Aleksandar Vucic forces citizens” to take part in elections, KoSSev portal reported.
Fatherland Movement said in a statement all those employed in remaining Serbian public institutions (health care and education) along with their family members are obliged to take part in elections and vote for Srpska Lista.
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.
Serb National Fatherland Movement from Kosovo and Metohija urged today President Aleksandar Vucic and the Serbian authorities to return decision-making on the status of Kosovo “within the UN SC auspices,” and involve the Russian Federation in it “that for the last two decades in the UN safeguarded the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Serbia within the UN Resolution 1244,” KoSSev portal reported.
National Movement Fatherland from Kosovo and Metohija, headed by Slavisa Ristic, urged all Serbs in the north of Kosovo to boycott mayoral elections in the four northern municipalities, BETA news agency reported.
“By taking part in these elections the Serbs as people are only legalizing and legitimizing yet another Albanian state in the Balkans. This way they are moving away from their motherland Serbia,” the press statement said.
''The Alliance for Serbia supports the idea of creating an Alliance for Kosovo and Metohija – a sister organization, so that the voices of the Kosovo Serbs can be heard much more often and for them to be able to have a decisive influence on Serbia’s policy towards Kosovo, '' the Alliance for Serbia and a delegation of opposition political representatives of Kosovo Serbs announced during a joint conference yesterday, reports portal KoSSev.
The ninth “1 out of 5 million” protest organized in Kosovo was held on Saturday for the first time in the vicinity of the Jarinje integrated border crossing. As the organizers emphasized, the reason why the protest was held there was to remind the public that the government of Aleksandar Vucic established “the border between Serbs and Serbs” and not the previous government, as the Serbian Progressive Party had repeatedly claimed.
For the third time, about a hundred of Kosovo Serbs gathered in the divided town of Mitrovica for #1in5million protests and walked to the place where their opposition leader Oliver Ivanovic was riddled with bullets on January 16, 2018, the portal KoSSev reported.
They were joined for the first time by activists of the Popular “Fatherland” Movement and members of the Alliance for Serbia (SzS) opposition group.
KoSSev portal reported today that Serb National Movement Fatherland as a member of Alliance for Serbia (SzS) invited citizens to attend the protest walk “One in Five Million” on Thursday, March 7, starting at 18.00 in Mitrovica North.
According to KoSSev, this will be the first time that this movement is organizing “One in Five Million” protest walk and third such gathering in Mitrovica North. Fatherland Movement said they are against the “division and surrender of the southern Serbian province”.
Fatherland Movement from Mitrovica North said in a press statement that Belgrade authorities had to do more over the last year in order to find organizers and those who have killed Oliver Ivanovic, KIM Radio reported.
The Movement recalled that in addition to Oliver Ivanovic, killers of Dimitrije Janicijevic, Oliver’s godfather who was killed on the same day five years ago, and killers of Ivica Rajcic and Milos Scepanovic remain unknown.
