Democracy in Action, based on information from monitors of this mission, said election campaign has so far been peaceful, civilised and without any reported incidents.

In a press conference, DiA officials also expressed concern with the proposal of certain members of the Central Election Commission for recount of all votes. DiA considers that such an initiative is in conflict to the election law which clearly specifies under which conditions votes can be recounted.

Columnist Donik Sallova writes that as the elections are approaching the political discourse of parties is becoming fiercer. He says this election campaign is being characterised by concrete aspects of economic development and improvement of welfare for the citizens and that the outcome will show whether or not a political era that was identified with abuses, economic stagnation and political degradation will come to an end.

Judging from the election campaign so far, political parties have openly reflected insecurity regarding the final result of upcoming elections, says the paper’s editor-in-chief Arbana Xharra. This year’s elections, apart from being a challenge for leaders, are also a challenge for political parties which will most likely undergo a reconfiguration process in case of a defeat. “Someone is fighting for survival and someone for increasing votes”, she claims.

Serbs from the north have frozen all their election activities due to their dissatisfaction with some of the decisions of Central Election Commission, and it remains unknown if they will participate in Kosovo’s general elections that will be held on Sunday. Concerns of the northerners are related mainly to the symbols of the Republic of Kosovo on the ballots, number of the voters outside Kosovo, guaranteed seats and composition of the election councils in the areas with Serb majority.

Departure of "war leaders", as stated in the analysis, is needed to consolidate democracy in Kosovo and create the conditions for achieving justice and reconciliation.

The International Institute for Middle-East and Balkan Studies (IFIMES) from Ljubljana said in an analysis of the situation in Kosovo, ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections, that there is an interest of the international community to remove "war leaders" from the political life of Pristina.

Even though mayors of eight, out of ten, majority Serbian municipalities in Kosovo system of local self-governance announced on Saturday that ‘conditions do not exist for participation of Serbs’ in extraordinary parliamentary elections in Kosovo on 8 June, one of those who signed the statement, Mayor of Leposavić/Leposaviç Dragan Jablanović said to Danas that final decision will be made today.

BELGRADE - Head of the Serbian parliament committee on Kosovo Milovan Drecun believes Pristina is interpreting the election law in Kosovo in a way that is unacceptable in order to discourage the Kosovo Serbs from voting in the election on June 8.

Pristina's bad intention is clear, as well as its attempt to influence the situation that will come about after the next parliament is formed, in which the Serbs have only 10 guaranteed seats, he told TV Pink.

Kosovo's Central Election Commission did not respond to the alert of the Mayor of the northern Mitrovica and seven other Kosovo municipalities that, because of the new rules for determining the number of seats won, and to the detriment of the Serbian people and other non-Albanian communities, the elections scheduled on 8 June could be boycotted.

Progressive Democratic Party (PDS) staged election rally yesterday in Kosovska Kamenica. Rally, attended by around 400 persons, was opened with Serbian anthem “Lord Give Us Justice”.

Outgoing Minister of Labor and leader of the PDS Nenad Rašić said that Serbs, despite all hardships, have sent a message that they will stay in Kosovo.

Belgrade’s decision is expected soon on whether freezing of the campaign of Srpska Ticket will mean the boycott of elections, said political analyst Dušan Janjić to RTK2. He predicts that turnout of Serbs in Kosovo elections won’t be big, and stressed that important political question after elections will be who will get ministerial posts from Serb community, after elections.
