It threatens Petkov: There will be consequences if Kosovo does not allow Serbian elections to be held

The topic of discussion has been the Kosovo Serb vote in the 3 April presidential elections organised by Serbia.

Petkov has complained Serbs are not allowed to vote within Kosovo's territory in Serbia's referendum.

The daily “Declarations of Pristina politicians that Serbs in Kosovo would be barred from voting in elections declared by the Republic of Serbia, especially in the April 3rd elections, raise additional concerns and threaten to bring unpredictable consequences for normalising relations between Belgrade and Pristina”, Petkov has said.

On the other hand, Petkov added that so far O The SEU has enabled Serbian citizens in Kosovo to vote in Serbia's announced elections and expects the mission to continue operating in line with its mandate.

“Petkovic recalled that the Serb people in Kosovo, so far, with OSCE support, have had the right to vote in elections proclaimed by the Republic of Serbia, stressing that the O Mission The SEU is responsible for organising the April 3rd vote in Kosovo and Serbs enabling their civil and democratic rights. Petkov estimated O The SEU in Kosovo has an important role in establishing rule of law and a safe environment for all citizens, and expressed the expectation that this mission will continue to act in line with its” mandate, said the so-called Office for Kosovo in Government of Serbia.

“Differently, recent events threaten to completely cancel the progress achieved in dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, but also to pose a serious threat to the region's dangerous peace and destabilisation, which Belgrade does not want at all”.
