The decision has to be respected (Kosova Sot)

The front-page editorial of this daily notes that despite the announcement of the Constitutional Court yesterday to have reached the decision on President Atifete Jahjaga’s request to interpret the compatibility of two articles of the Constitution, there are indications that opposition coalition will not respect the verdict. This daily notes that disrespect of the decision of the Constitutional Court would have been the first one since its creation and stresses that verdicts of this Court have even brought down two Presidents of Kosovo.

“The European Union closely monitored parliamentary elections through its observers and we can express our satisfaction with their regularity. We monitor closely current election debate, but it is clear that they are entirely internal matter of Kosovo, as long they are based on the laws and procedures. Therefore we cannot comment them, stated Zbogar. 

The mandates are still in the mist (Vecernje Novosti)

Who will be the Serbian MP in the Kosovo parliament will be clear soon, because it is expected that Central Election Commission (CEC) completes counting the votes of displaced persons and conditional votes. 

Regardless of the number of mandates for the Serbian List, they will not be assigned according to the coalition agreement. The voters, beside the vote for the List, had to vote for one up to five candidates. Consequently, MPs will be those who won the most votes.
