Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti accused Serbia on Sunday of directly interfering in the February 9 parliamentary elections in Kosovo, and of influencing the election of Serb and other minority MPs.
"The Serbian state apparatus has made extraordinary efforts to harm rival Serbian entities, especially the Party for Freedom, Justice and Survival and the Serbian Democracy Party, as well as voters of entities from other communities, mainly Roma and Ashkali," he said.
The Party for Freedom, Justice and Survival is led by Nenad Rašić, who is a minister in Kurti's government, appointed after the removal of the Serbian List from Kosovo's institutions.
Certain representatives from almost all other Serbian political entities have withdrawn from the race after threats they have received, according to Kurti.
He said that these cases have been recorded in the four Serb-majority municipalities in northern Kosovo, but also in the other six municipalities in the south of the country.
"For most of these cases, our institutions have evidence that, for the sake of the privacy and security of Serbian citizens, is not useful to make public," Kurti said.
The EU observation mission, in presenting its preliminary findings on the February 9 elections, said that Serbia had interfered in the elections through pressure on Serb voters in Kosovo.
Serbia was also accused by Germany of interfering in the elections in Kosovo.
According to data from the Kosovo Central Election Commission, the Serbian List - which enjoys the support of official Belgrade - received over 38,000 votes, while Rašić's party received around 4,000 votes.
The Kosovo Constitution guarantees ten of the 120 seats in the Assembly for the Serb community and another ten for other non-majority communities./ REL (A2 Televizion)
