In the four municipalities inhabited by Serbian majority in the northern part of Kosovo, North Mitrovica, Zveçan, Zubin Potok and Leposaviq, voting is underway for the removal of four Albanian mayors.
Citizens' interest in voting was minimal since a few days before the vote, Lista Serbe called for a boycott on the grounds that the voter lists "do not reflect the real situation on the ground", saying that the number of Albanians on the voter lists "had increased". .
In an interview for Euronews Albania, the expert Arsim Sinani said that the boycott of the Serbs in the elections is bad news for the Serbs but good news for the Albanians of Kosovo.
According to him, what is important is that the sovereignty of Kosovo can no longer be discussed in the North of Kosovo.
"Serbs are boycotting the vote. This is bad news for Serbs and good news for Kosovars. We will probably have a succession of mayors until another solution is found. Kosovo is taking the appropriate institutional actions. The low output shows that Belgrade will maintain such a situation because it has suffered a lot of losses recently in the international arena.
What is important is that the sovereignty of Kosovo can no longer be discussed in the North of Kosovo. Serbia wants to keep Kosovo fragmented as a kind of threat and anger that Vucic has. The West is not understanding one thing that we are telling them, that Serbia must be democratized first and then be freed from the great burden it has in the Balkans," he said.
