Conflict in Voting in Gracanica, arrest in Klokot
Some people participated in the physical conflict at the Institute School “Cralj Milutin” in Gracanica, where there is a vote for today's local elections in Kosovo.
Kosovo police immediately reacted and brought participants to the police station in Gracanica.
The incident has not affected the election process at the deployment, praising it as an isolated incident.
Kosovo police kept one person in Klokot because he tried to influence voters for whom they voted before the polling centre in “Sveti Sava” in Klocott.
At that vote, police arrested an election commission member following deliberate damage to the ballot box.
The NGO Democracy in Action, which monitors local elections with 3,000 observers, said everything is happening “without problems and with fewer shortcomings”.
Kosovo Police spokesman Baki Keljan praised that the election process was already calm and that there were no security problems. /Periscopi/
