KiM radio reports that the Vice President of the CI SDP Ksenija Bozovic announced on Wednesday that councillors Dusan Milunovic and Igor Rajcic from this initiative can only act as independent councillors as of that day. She explained that they were expelled from the CI SDP because they had violated the Statute of this civil initiative,
Twenty months after the assassination of CI SDP leader, Oliver Ivanovic, his murder remains unsolved, while Ivanovic’s political legacy in the form of his civic initiative is facing paramount challenges threatened to end up with final collapse.
In early September, the news that Oliver Ivanovic’s longtime associate and party colleague Ksenija Bozovic, along with another less known SDP member, Svetislav Jokic, would be joining the Serbian List in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Kosovo, shook the public.
Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric says that it is "terribly" important for the Serbs to be united around the Serbian List in Kosovo elections.
Djuric states that the deceased Oliver Ivanovic's party CI SDP decided to join the Serbian List in order to support their country, and strongly condemned the pressure on Ksenija Bozovic due to such decision.
Oliver Ivanovic's nephew said on Thursday the family told the Election Commission in Pristina they were against the usage of the late leader’s name on any election ticket, regional broadcaster N1 reported.
Aleksandar Ivanovic tweeted that his family obligation was “to protect the principles and values Oliver stood for and fought for and which for he paid an ultimate price.”
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Belgrade based TV Prva that he was extremely happy that Ksenija Bozovic (CI SDP) had decided to join the Serbian List.
"I am very happy because of Ksenija Bozovic and others who have joined the Serbian List and the most important is the unity which opposes the attempts of Albanians and part of the international community and those who support the destruction of that unity," Vucic emphasized.
RTK2 reports that SDP councillors in the North Mitrovica Municipality Igor Rajcic and Dusan Milunovic have condemned Ksenija Bozovic's move to the Serbian List and stated that they were not aware of this, and that they had learned about it from the media.
In such an act, Ksenija Bozovic, as they claim, has betrayed the interests of the CI SDP, them as councillors and all those who support the political struggle to find the killer of the late Oliver Ivanovic.
