The United States of America has reacted regarding the decision of the Serbian List not to participate in the vote for the dismissal of the Albanian mayors in the four municipalities inhabited by Serbian majority in the north of Kosovo. The embassy says that this decision is regrettable.
The American Embassy in Pristina said that it is important that the citizens of Kosovo have the opportunity to exercise their right to dismiss the presidents in accordance with the law in Kosovo.
"We appreciate the efforts of Kosovo officials to allow all citizens of the country to participate in this democratic process. All citizens registered in the north of Kosovo have the opportunity to participate. We regret the statement of the Serbian List that they will withdraw from participating in the vote for the removal of the current presidents ", says the Embassy's response, in which it is emphasized that "democratic participation ensures that the leaders are representatives of the population they serve and the voting it is an essential right of democratic societies".
"We expect the government of Kosovo to sensitively handle the concerns of the citizens in the north during this process. The position of the United States remains clear and unchanged, we support an inclusive and multi-ethnic democracy of Kosovo and the free, fair and legal elections that support this democracy", the Embassy emphasizes.
The chairman of the Serbian List, Zlatan Elek, accused the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, on Sunday, of making continuous efforts to make this vote fail, while emphasizing that one of the reasons for not participating in it is the inflation of voter lists.
