Srpska Lista Deputy Chair Igor Simic told RTS the pressure on Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija would continue as parliamentary elections would approach.

Speaking for the RTS news edition, Simic noted arrests of the Serbs represent an attempt to create an artificial balance because the Special Court started summoning former KLA members. He added, Srpska Lista deemed the government in Pristina has fallen a year ago, when a series of acts aiming to intimidate the Serbs has commenced.

Parliamentary elections in Serbia will be held early next year, President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday. He added that "it doesn't matter if they take place then, in the winter, or in the spring."

As things stand, there will be no early parliamentary elections at this time, Vucic told Serbian public broadcaster RTS.
