The government firmly returns Borrell: Serbian referendum only by mail or liaison office

Kosovo Government spokesman Progress Kryeziu has spoken about Telegrafi as European Union diplomacy chief Josep Borrell has said that Serbian citizens in Kosovo should be allowed voting in this referendum.

Kryeziu has said that they have already made clear their position on the matter.

Government spokesman said that by respecting the best international practices, Serbian citizens in Kosovo, via mail or at the Liaison Office in Pristina are being allowed to vote.

“We have already made our stand known and clear. Serbs in Kosovo who have dual citizenship may be participants in this referendum through mail voting or at the Liaison Office in Pristina”, Kryeziu said.

In addition, he added, they are respecting Kosovo's Constitution and laws in force, enabling Serbs with dual states to vote.

“Organising a referendum on the entire internal issues of another state on the sovereign territory of another state does not recognise any accepted practice in any democratic country. In this way we are respecting our constitution and laws, we are able to make the two-state Serbs vote and at the same time are respecting the best international practices”, Kryeziu stressed.

A day earlier, even the country's prime minister, Albin Kurti, has said Serbs in Kosovo with dual citizenship can vote in Serbia's referendum by mail or at the liaison office in Pristina.

Meanwhile, during the present day, European Union diplomacy chief Josep Borrell has said the referendum votes for Serbia's constitution, which are held Sunday in the past, have gathered with the ease of the OSCE mission.

Through Twitter, Borrell said he has spoken with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucinq.

According to him, citizens should be allowed to exercise their right to vote.
