Thaci ʹ candidates in the north: Work to improve citizens' lives in your municipalities

The president says Kosovo has built tradition for successful elections. He also invited candidates to work on improving the lives of citizens in their municipalities.

” Political subjects and citizens congratulate them on the peaceful campaign in Kosovo's four northern municipalities, and I wish for regular electoral process. Kosovo has built tradition of successful elections. The elections in Kosovo's four northern municipalities are being held according to the laws of the Republic of Kosovo, and are serving the best integration of all communities in Kosovo institutions. The mayoral candidates wish them success and invited them to continue working to improve the lives of citizens in their municipalities”, Thaci said on Facebook.

Votes in the extraordinary elections in the four northern municipalities of Mitrovica, where they have 57.983 people in 87 polling, or 970 more voters, compared to the October 22nd 2017 local elections.

The extraordinary elections are being held in Leposaviq, Zubin Potok, Zvecan and Northern Mitrovica, following the mayors' resignation there due to the 100 per cent tax on products originating from Serbia.

For elections in the north, 12 candidates from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, the Vetevendosje Movement and the Serbian List compete.

The Central Election Commission in these four municipalities has engaged about 670 commissionors. Meanwhile, the number of applicant observers from the CEC who will be able to follow the vote is about 500 observers. These observers represent two political parties, two international missions, two liaison offices, 12 embassies, two international non-governmental organisations, four local non-government organisations and 16 media homes./ P ERISCOPI/
