Question after April 23rd - How Will the Institutions Be Formed in the North?

Kosovo's north is less than a month away from extraordinary elections in the four municipalities.

Without the participation of the Serbian List, as the main Serb party and with increased incidents in indicators, there is a dilemma about what will happen after April 23rd if elections are held.

Valdete Daka, who for a decade as CEC chairman has organised several sets of elections, says there is no rule that determines legitimacy or the level of participation.

However, it raised dilemmas about the possibilities for institutions that will emerge from these elections to exercise their function.

“After the election day if held, then we will have a major question about how the institutions will be formed there by a speaker who will be elected, hypothetically by other subjects which do not represent Serbs who live in the northern part, and how acceptable that chairman or speaker” will be, Daka has said.

Unlike Dhaka, however, Mazum Baraliu's professor feels.

It does not prevent or prevent the functioning of institutions and democracy in any way. It doesn't start immediately after the Election Constitution Day, there is complaining process that disgruntled subjects and individuals complain in relevant legal institutions, and then when the terms for complaints run out at the Supreme Court then there are deadlines when those institutions, assemblies and mayors and municipalities start functioning”, Baraliu told RTV Dukagujni

This election process is expected to take place without international supervision.

The European Union has confirmed to Dukagjin that it will not send its monitors to the north.

“The EU has observed general elections in Kosovo in many cases, but does not send election missions for partial elections”, said the EU response.

While the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has not indicated clearly whether to monitor the elections.

O The SEU in an answer to Dukagjin has hinted it won't.

Subsequent participation in municipal and municipal mayoral elections is essential for improving local governance and creating conditions where all communities can progress. The pre-April 23rd local elections must be organised by the Central Election Commission in line with procedures and practices thus far. It is essential that they be maintained peacefully and fairly”, said from O SBE.

The EU has supported holding these elections until it expressed regret over not participating in the Serbian List.

The race for the municipalities of Leposaviq, Zubin Potok, Zvecan and North Mitrovica, has already entered 11 candidates.
