Three candidates are counted in Leposavic, Albulenj Behluli Hetemi, Alliance Jablanovic from the Kosovo Serb Party and Lulzim Hetemi from the Vetevendosje Movement.

The same number and in Zvecan, where Ilir Peci competes from the PDK, Slavica Pantovic independent candidate and Fetah Peci from the Vetevendosje Movement. The Serbian list has already decided to boycott the extraordinary elections.

Agreements reached between Kosovo and Serbia in Brussels and Ohrid have not influenced the decision-making of this Belgrade-controlled party to become part of the democratic election process in Kosovo.

The Serbian List has not submitted to the Central Election Commission any candidate for election turnout in northern Mitrovica, Zvecan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok, or for any of the two municipal municipalities, Zvecan and Leposavic.

Its decision has been pitied by the embassies of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. QUINT countries appealed for elections in the north to be held peacefully and fairly.
