Here are how many buses left in the morning for Serbia

More than 25 buses were seen at the bus station in North Mitrovica to transport Serbs to vote in Rashka.

Raska is one of four municipalities in Serbia, near the Kosovo border, where about 100,000 Serb citizens living in Kosovo will be able

exercise their right to vote.

Transportation has also been enabled to Serbs in Gracanica. In the early hours of Sunday's morning, Serbs, mainly employees of Serbian institutions in Kosovo, were taken by bus to their locations in the border town of Serbia, Kursumli.

The Republican Election Commission of Serbia has said that around 100,000 Serbs from Kosovo will be able to vote in other locations located in Kosovo border municipalities such as Tutini, Raska and Vranja.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has demanded that the Serbian government address the Kosovo government at the request to hold elections. But that requirement has been rejected by authorities in Belgrade.

Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, has declared that at this request, Kurti has wanted Serbia to recognise Kosovo.

The Quint States have expressed “great disappointment” over the Kosovo Government's decision not to allow Serbian elections to be held.

Quint had proposed that Kosovo and Serbia's liaison offices officials communicate to hold Serbian elections, but Pristina had demanded that this communication develop at the level of states.

Quinn's places are: The United States, Great Britain, Italy, Germany and France.

Following the Kosovo government's decision, Serb-run municipalities HINA in Gracanica and North Mitrovica were protesting Serbs.

In January of this year, Kosovo had also refused to allow the vote for a referendum on Serbia's constitutional changes. Kosovo's Assembly had even adopted a resolution against holding this referendum on Kosovo territory. Even for this decision of Kosovo, Quint and the European Union had expressed regret.

The international community has repeatedly called on the Kosovo government to find ways to hold Serbian elections.

The last parliamentary elections, which Serbia has also organised for the Serb community in Kosovo, have been those on 21 June 2020.

Those elections are held according to an earlier practice, where the Kosovo Security and Co-operation Organisation of Europe mission has collected votes. Those votes were later counted in Rashka and Vranje, two border towns in Serbia.

This practice has been in place since 2017, and Kosovo authorities have allowed it. / REL/
