Enver Robelli in his weekly column says the outgoing prime minister Thaci is so scared of the possibility of losing 8 June elections that he has started to act and speak as if sleepwalking. He is making promises which, in Robelli’s view, are ‘gigantic lies’ pulled out of a sack full of rotten fruits.

Enis Veliu that right before the election campaign, one could only meet politicians at the government buildings or luxury restaurants but nowadays one can run into them everywhere. They are even more active in social networks than they are in real life, Veliu says.

In the economic aspect, the vast majority of campaign promises are undeliverable because of the limited Kosovo budget, stresses Veliu. Nevertheless, this doesn’t prevent outgoing prime minister Thaci from continuing to make promises although other political leaders are not very far behind.

Zubin Potok Mayor Stevan Vulović has said that it was his "personal stance" that Serbs should not take part in the election in Kosovo scheduled for June 8. 

"Priština is attempting, via all its institutions, to make the life meaningless for Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, and it is my position, which does not mean it will be our final position - that under these conditions we will not participate in the election," Vulović told Beta. 

A group of non-governmental organizations in Kosovo, has measured, among other issues, preferences of Kosovar voters when the political parties are concerned.

A week before the early parliamentary elections in Kosovo, Pristina authorities and the international community completely ignored Serb requests related to the regularity of the voting. That is the reason why the boycott of elections becomes more realistic option for our compatriots. 

Even the Government of Serbia has not called Serbs to go to the polls on Sunday, because the official Belgrade also supports their requirements. As stated, they requested: 

Mitrovica - Serbs south of the Ibar/Ibër River will go to the polls in early parliamentary elections on June 8^th, while their compatriots from the north, because of the conditions imposed by Pristina, will not, unofficially learns Politika.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has called on Kosovo Serbs today to participate in the 8 June parliamentary elections in Kosovo and said that boycotting elections was not a wise choice. “We need to act responsibly and in line with our state interests. Serbia will make this kind of a decision and it will not hide behind mayors of municipalities,” Vucic was quoted as saying in B92.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said in a meeting with British Minister for Europe David Lidington on Monday that the government of Serbia will take a joint stance on whether to invite Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) to vote in the June 8 elections, considering the questionable conditions under which the citizens would vote and what they would gain from it.

The British Minister for Europe, David Lidington, said that the stance of London is that Kosovo Serbs should vote on 8 June in order for the elections to have international legitimacy. Meanwhile, the British Ambassador in Kosovo, Ian Cliff, informed Serb politicians in the north that symbols of the “Republic of Kosovo” will not be removed from ballots and that an election boycott would hurt Kosovo Serbs.

The paper reports in a front-page story that the Serb minority in Kosovo is waiting for instructions from Belgrade before they decide whether or not to participate in Kosovo’s parliamentary elections on 8 June. Despite highlighting the importance of elections, senior Serbian officials have yet to call on Kosovo Serbs to take part in them.
