But how legitimate can this process be considered when about 45 thousand voters with four municipalities there boycotted them?
Ehat Miftaraj, from the Kosovo Institute for Justice, told “Balkan Update” in ABC News that and why elections were held according to constitutional rules, they lack legitimacy in terms of representation, given the high number of boycotters.
In these elections against candidates, there may be no complaint. Four Albanian heads to lead these municipalities. It remains to be seen if municipal offices when they go to take the oath, if there is to be resistance of Serbian citizens. These elections have been held in accordance with the law, but these elections lack legitimacy, as of 45 thousand voters, over a thousand have voted. There are about 43 thousand Serbian citizens who have boycotted them”, he said.
