The leader of the Civic Initiatives SDP Oliver Ivanovic said that in the local elections in Kosovo, Serbian authorities put everything on one card, and that Mitrovica was a symbol and a recipe for resolving local elections in Belgrade.

The current voting turnout in Kosovo's local elections runs by the rules, said the Head of the EU Monitoring Mission Alojz Peterle, during his visit to polling station in Gračanica.

"I want the whole day to pass in a positive and peaceful atmosphere, that people have the opportunity to express their political will," said Peterle to KIM radio.

Srpska Lista is not an ordinary political party, but an institution gathering all Serbs, who have Serbia in their hearts and the better life of Serbs in Kosovo as their priority, said Chair of the Srpska Lista, Goran Rakic, Danas daily reported.

He also underlined that Srpska Lista will take part in the forthcoming local elections as the only protector of Serbs and Serbia’s interests in Kosovo, with the strong support and full trust of the Serbian Government and President Aleksandar Vucic.
