EU Ambassador: Practice of holding Serbia's Kosovo elections must continue

He said the same practice could be a possible option of Serbia's April 3rd elections, which the Government of Kosovo says will be maintained as there has been a preliminary agreement with Serbia's Government.

“There is no agreement in dialogue on holding Serbian elections mediated by the EU in Kosovo, even though both sides have so far established a practice allowing voting in Kosovo ) and that would be a possible option for the April 3rd” elections, Szunyog told the BBC in Serbian.

The European Union believes that the established practice under which O The SEU organises vote collection in Kosovo, must continue, with some adjustments due to the current situation”, he added.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti had sent letters to Szunyog about organising the 3 April Serbian elections, saying they could be held in the Republic of Kosovo only in accordance with an agreement between the two governments.

For that purpose, we were expecting a request from the Government of Serbia directly to the Government of Kosovo. Interconnection offices (for contrasting from officials) are just tools for carrying intergovernmental communications, not political or institutional replacements of such communications. Furthermore, Belgrade does not even mention our Government, but it calls us the <x1-> relevant governing authorities of Kosovo”, Kurti's letter to the EU chief said. /Gazza Express/
