IAMN: Serbian list to shut down its political activity in northern Kosovo

In the recent elections in the north of the Republic of Kosovo that resulted from abandoning institutions on the part of Serbian representatives in politics and security institutions as a sign of protest against the decision on illegal plates, the Serbian List -- the parliamentary party that openly co-ordinated with official Belgrade -- did not attend.

In these four municipalities according to the official result posed by the Central Election Commission (KQZ) the four heads will be of Albanian nationalism, even though the majority population in that region is Serb. According to the Institute for Access to Interethnic Relations (IAMN), this development has prompted the Serbian List to take an unusual step.

“IAMN, on the basis of data from northern Serb citizens of Kosovo, has come to information that numerous Serb citizens in northern Kosovo have asked the leaders of the Serbian List to halt its political activity in northern Kosovo, not because of the non-admination of the Serbian List, but because of the non-formation of the Serb majority Communists Association and because of local elections in the north that consider it invalid, Inseder told IAMN.

This decision is expected to soon be officially announced by the Serbian List itself, a new political force will be established in that part of the territory, but will not be a party. North “Serbites have demanded the formation of a Serb civic movement for northern Kosovo, where all university professors in the north will be placed, then doctors, farmers, students and all of the northern Serbian population.”, said IAMN.

In this regard, IAMN Executive Director Fatmir Sheholli has declared that a distant relative is expected for the northern Serbs to be unified at an umbrella that would represent the entire Serb population in northern Kosovo.
