The Chairman of the Central Election Commission, Kreshnik Radoniqi, said that the institution he leads still does not officially know anything about media reports regarding postal votes of immigrants in Croatia.
A day earlier, the Basic Prosecution Office in Pristina said it had launched investigations following reports that Kosovo's Ambassador to Croatia, Martin Berishaj, was suspected of being involved in the illegal transportation of diaspora mail-in votes for the February 9 parliamentary elections, writes A2 CNN.
The CEC said that the withdrawal of postal deliveries from the Commission's mailboxes and the delivery of election materials to diplomatic missions will be done via land routes by CEC officials, with the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora.
So far, in several cases, the CEC has withdrawn packages with ballots, which were sent to temporarily stay in various diplomatic missions, respectively in their security rooms, where they are constantly monitored by cameras.
These withdrawals were conducted in a transparent process, with prior notification of political party observers, who did not identify any objections to the withdrawal protocols and in the presence of CEC officials. Kosovo will also organize physical voting on February 8 in several diplomatic missions abroad. (A2 Televizion)
