The VV crash exposes OSCE ambassador: Serbia's documents cannot be voted north

O mission chief The SBE in Kosovo, Jan Braathu, has said that according to CEC guidelines northern citizens in tomorrow's local elections could vote with valid identification of Serbia.

And the representative of Vetevendosje in the CEC, Adnan Rrustemi, reports Periscope.

He has said that in Sunday's fair vote, only citizens of the Republic of Kosovo are eligible to vote, and citizens can vote only with Kosovo documents, and by no means with Serbia.

Rrustemi said that in each democratic state and sovereignly, only the state documents are voted. There is no question about the eventual vote with identifying documents of another country.

“Whoever claims that Serbian documents can be voted in the north is a declaration and a stance contrary to judicial order, integrity, as well as the laws and Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, both he and the OSCE ambassador!”, he said.

This is Adnan Rrustem's full status:

It can only be voted by documents of the Republic of Kosovo, and by no means by Serbia!

In tomorrow's elections, voting rights have only citizens of the Republic, registered in the civil registry through the ID device of the Republic of Kosovo. The way the voter list is created in Kosovo also determines what identification documents can be used on election day to vote. Besides the law on elections listed these documents and the citizenship law shows us documents that testify to citizenship, in terms of the election process, on election day those voter identification documents that contain all the same data as described on the voter list, and especially the compliance of the individual number of voters in the identification document with the personal number on the voter list. Even the Supreme Court in its decision on parole in the June 11th elections has clearly proved that the personal number of voters containing only documents issued by the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo is required.

No voter is part of the voter's list unless it is equipped with IDs of the Republic of Kosovo, or at least with UNMIK identification. Likewise, no voters who are not on the voter list can vote. Therefore, all those who are only registered on the voter's list are entitled to Kosovo identification or at least UNMIK. The refusal to draw Kosovo out of pocket and use its identification by voters in the northern part is only deliberate rejection of the sovereignty of the Republic and, as in no way, should be allowed. Whatever toleration to vote with Serbian documents is the legitimateity of claims by Serbia's and its parallel structures.

On the other hand, in each democratic and sovereign state, it is voted only by documents from that state. There is no question about the eventual vote with identifying documents of another country. Whoever claims that Serbian documents can be voted in the north is a declaration and a stance contrary to judicial order, integrity, as well as the laws and Constitutions of the Republic of Kosovo, both he and the OSCE ambassador!

Since all voters on the voters' list, in any part of the Republic of Kosovo, possess identification documents for Kosovo or UNMIK, I invite all officials involved in the election administration and ask the state authorities as police on the day of the elections to stand up for the constitutional order and sovereignty of the Republic, as well as for the election process in the entire territory of the Republic. /Periscopi/
