Lista Serbe, the largest entity of Serbs in Kosovo, has announced that it will complain to the Electoral Panel for Complaints and Submissions, one day after the Central Electoral Commission of Kosovo did not certify it for participation in the February 9 elections.
The chairman of the Serbian List, Zlatan Ellek, said that the decision to decertify the party is an undemocratic action and against the Serbs.
"During the day we will submit a complaint to PZAP and I expect a clear decision from them that will reject this absurd, anti-Serbian and undemocratic decision of Kurti", declared the chairman of the Serbian List, Zlatan Ellek.
The Central Election Commission (CEC) on Monday did not certify the Serbian List for participation in the February 9 parliamentary elections, after two CEC members from the ruling party, Lévizja Vetëvendosje - Sami Kurteshi and Albin Krasniqi, voted against.
Justifying this decision, Kurteshi stated that the Serbian List does not recognize Kosovo as a state and regularly uses the term "Kosova and Metohia" or the phrase "Long live Serbia."
This decision was taken despite the fact that the Office for Registration and Verification of Political Entities had recommended the certification of the Serbian List for the February 9 elections.
However, Kurtesi raised numerous criticisms of Lista Serbe, including its ties to Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and the party's former vice-president Millan Radočić, who resigned after claiming responsibility for the armed attack in Banjska.
Kosovo described the attack as a terrorist act.
Kurteshi emphasized that Lista Serbe has never distanced itself from this attack and has not condemned it.
Meanwhile, the international community expressed concern that the process of certification of political entities was being influenced by political motives and called for the Serbian List to exercise its right to appeal to the Electoral Panel for Complaints and Submissions.
The US Embassy in Pristina stated that "it is imperative that the voters, not the political bodies, decide who represents them."/ REL
