President of the Republic of Srpska, (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Milorad Dodik congratulated last night victory to Srpska Lista, in the Kosovo local elections, adding it would provide easier achievement of Serb national interests, RTV Puls reported.

“I think it is important and it would provide for the continuation of the policies coordinated from Belgrade. In any case, it would be easier to achieve the Serbian national interests in Kosovo and state policy in Kosovo,” Dodik said.

“Victory of Srpska Lista in all Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo local elections once again confirmed the unity of the Serb people in the southern province,” said Chairperson of the Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, RTS reported.

"This has nothing to do with any free, fair, democratic elections, at least when it comes to voting in Serb-populated areas, despite the fact that the atmosphere today for the time being seems to be very free and runs to a large extent without incident (…).

“Serbs in Kosovo “spent” their expectations; they are very tired of elections, because for many years they are jut turning up to some elections, being them Serbian presidential, Kosovo parliamentary, Serbian parliamentary and now Kosovo local elections. So the citizens are simply not able to follow, who promised them what, nor what they could expect,” said Budimir Nicic, director of the Media Centre in Caglavica, Voice of America in Serbian correspondent and journalist in Kosovo said to Vesti-online.

Oliver Ivanovic, leader of the Civic Initiative, Freedom, Democracy, Justice said there were irregularities in the electoral process, and that deceased people are on voters’ lists, including his own parents, Vesti-Online reported.

Kosovo's Central Electoral Commission is yet to announce preliminary results from local elections. However, some 17 municipalities are set to pass into runoffs.

As Kosovo waits for official results from Sunday’s local elections, some 17 municipalities already seem set for runoffs, according to preliminary data from local NGO Democracy in Action (DIA), which monitored the process.

The Serbian List says that Pristina’s actions at administrative crossings show an obvious attempt to prevent IDPs from central Serbia to vote in Kosovo, TV Most reports.

The List urges the authorities to free all administrative crossings and enable unhindered voting and to stop interfering in the election process, reports TV Most.

A representative from the Serbian community in the Central Election Commission, Stevan Veselinović, told Radio Gračanica that the vote in Kosovo flows regular, with sporadic and technical problems that were resolved at the very moment.

"For now, everything flows well, except for some small, sporadic technical problems. There were some small incidents that were resolved at the very moment," Veselinović told Radio Gračanica.

More than a hundred displaced persons from Jagodina, Smederevo, Belgrade and other places from central Serbia, were stopped today at the administrative crossing Bela Zemlja - Končulj. They came to vote in the municipality of Novo Brdo, reports RTV Puls.
As RTV Pulse learns from eyewitnesses, the Kosovo police do not allow the entry of two buses with plates of the Serbian city Nis because they do not have a Kosovo license for the carriage of passengers and a green card.

Commenting yesterday's arrest of Serbian List activists, Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić estimates for RTS that this is not a coincidence, adding that Pristina, perhaps and a part of the international community, does not correspond to unity of Serbs and institutional ties with the state of Serbia, TV Most reports.
