The burning cars in the north, Rassic: Election Prevention Targeted, No More Reason

This time not with a RKS license plate as usual. The cars were with license plates (undeserved) issued by Serbia's Interior Ministry, license plates that Kosovo considers illegal. In an extremely short period of time, add the three cars burned today, approximately signs 1011 cars burned. And that right when elections were announced in four Serb-populated northern municipalities.

Rassic, who is minister from the Serb community in Kosovo, sees these actions only in the function of preventing “with all available means” of elections in those areas, these elections announced for April 23rd.

I heard the truth from you an hour ago. That could only be a reason. I suppose this could have happened in Leposaviq. Because I know that there's a candidate for chairman, Aleksandar Jablanoviqi, and I've seen that there are some pre-election activities, which should be a normal thing, to have pre-election plans in the”, he first says of Nacional, and he stops right here, at the development of the election campaign, where he sees the main reason for these fire activities.

This doesn't mean that those structures that are in shadow will not use all the means they have to prevent elections. That's why I'm assuming those cars are both of owners, so of those who are nominated as municipal-level advisers or maybe even of their family”, says Rassic.

Therefore, Rassic says, there is no other reason here but to pressure election racers to stop their electoral activities. So, I hope I'm wrong, but this is probably about putting pressure on those who are candidates for elections. I don't see it as anything, knowing what methodology is used for burning cars”, Rassic says of Nacional.

This is hardly new. That's what happens for years now. Now I've got a tip if it's not wrong, but so far it's burning about 200 cars. I'm guaranteeing that this is not common in any of the states”, he said.
