Ymeri: The will of Serb voters got distorted by Serbian List (Klan Kosova)

Vetevendosje leader, Visar Ymeri, wrote on Facebook that the will of Kosovo Serb voters was distorted in 11 June elections through the pressure exercised by the Serbian List. “Initially, this was exercised on other local Serb parties by forcing them to withdraw from elections such as the case with one party who withdrew its list of candidates following pressure from Belgrade. At the same time, the Liberal Party led by Slobodan Petrovic undertook no election campaign at all as a result of open intimidation by the Serbian List”, Ymeri wrote.
