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.

Elections for the mayors of four municipalities will be held on Sunday in the north of Kosovo, RTS reports. In the next five days, candidates will have the right to hold rallies and present themselves to voters.

Zoran Todic, a Serbian List candidate for Mayor of Leposavic municipality told RTS that the elections are organized in an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. He invited all citizens who have the right to vote to go to the polls.

The Serbian List filed the complaint to the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP) following the decision of the Central Election Commission that failed to certify candidacy of Serbian List’s candidates running for mayoral elections in northern Kosovo municipalities, RTK reports.

ECAP is a higher instance to take decisions, following the ones made by the Central Election Commission.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said today he is very concerned because Srpska Lista has been prevented to take part in the elections in Kosovo and Metohija. Vucic added he would discuss about it with Russian and Chinese presidents in Beijing, as well as with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, Tanjug news agency reported.

TV Most reports on Monday that Self-determination Movement has announced it would vote against proposal and candidates of the Serbian List, unless there is a concrete evidence that “Serbian candidates will respect the constitutional order in Kosovo”.

They have explained that participation of Serbian List candidates at the elections to be held on May 19 cannot be confirmed if eight of the nine members of the Central Election Commission do not vote for them.

TV Most reported on Saturday, quoting Koha, that the Central Election Commission (CEC) sent a letter to Adrijana Hodzic the Minister of Local Government Administration, asking her to send them the letters of resignation of the mayors of Leposavic, Zubin Potok, Zvecan and Mitrovica North municipalities.

The letter was sent to Hodzic after the meeting CEC held on Friday, during which they have considered political parties’ applications for the forthcoming elections in the north on May 19.

Three days have left until the application deadline for the mayoral candidates in the four northern municipalities. The Central Election Commission said yesterday no political entity applied for the mayoral elections in Mitrovica North, Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavic municipalities, Radio kontakt plus reported.
