The frightening growth of Republika Lists: Here is how much more powerful the party controlled by Serbia (Rez)

Kosovo's independence has been raised on the principle of multiethnicity. Therefore, ethnic minorities in the country are at the foundation of the state of Kosovo, and interethnic co-operation and the inclusion of Serbian ethnicity in our institutions is necessary.

But it seems that the Serbian List will again cause trouble in the country's institutional life. This, since this Belgrade-controlled political party has won no less than 52 thousand and 620 votes without counting them from the diaspora, where many Serbs have reportedly also voted.

On a percentage, this vote measure translates to 6,61 percent. That means, the single Serbian List has won all seats reserved in the Kosovo Parliament for the Serb community.

But how was the Serbian List in the 2017 elections?

Registered in the CEC as Gradanska Iniciyava Srpska List, they won 44,000 and 499 votes, or 6,11 percent.

This means that the Serbian List has increased for over 80,000 votes in this election, Periscopi writes.

Moreover, greater representation and increased support for moderate Serbian politicians who had joined under the Sloboda [Liria] list were expected in these elections. This is after physical conflicts in the hall, and also after the murder of politician Oliver Ivanovic.

But, the party practically run by Aleksandar Vuciq only increased its vote, and such a thing is seen as quite worrying.

However, many politicians, senior foreign officials and ambassadors have highlighted the hostile climate created during these elections in the Serb community.

While Enver Hasani, former head of the Constitutional Court, stated several days ago that no Serb could become minister in the New Government of Kosovo without approval of this list. /Periscope
