Lista Serbe, the largest party of Serbs in Kosovo, expresses concern and dissatisfaction with the composition of the election commissions for the counting of votes for the February 9 elections in the north of the country.
She accused the Central Election Commission of harming her, since in many municipalities, the Serbian List does not have its own members to "check the legality, legitimacy and democratic character of the elections", writes A2.
The official of this party, Igor Simic, said in a press conference that Nenad Rasic's party, the Party for Freedom, Justice and Survival, is "favored" and that, in some cases, there are more members in the election commissions, even though according to him, in the 2021 elections, this party received significantly fewer votes.
"Rašić's party has the same number of representatives even though in the last elections it won 12 times fewer votes than Lista Serbe." It should be noted here that out of 17 polling stations, only four are presided over by Serbs and 13 by Albanians", said Simic.
As an example for his claims, Simic took the municipality of Istog, where in the 2021 elections Lista Serbe received 259 votes, but there is no chairman or member in the election commission, in the municipal vote counting center or in the places for conditional voting .
Simic emphasized that the Serbian List, although represented in the parliament, has fewer members in the election commissions, even in municipalities with a Serbian majority.
"In the municipality of North Mitrovica, Lista Serbe as a parliamentary party has 18 representatives in polling stations, including only three leaders from a total of 24 polling stations and 15 members. As a result, you can calculate for yourself - in six countries we do not have our representatives, which means that in six centers with potentially 6,000 voters, we do not have control over the electoral process, since we do not have members who can supervise the process."
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Serbian List, Zlatan Ellek, declared that the prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, is trying to prevent this party's participation in the elections, as he considers it the "biggest opponent". (A2 Televizion)
