Daka: Would be turning back if Kosovo seeks international assistance for election body in the north

She considers it a setback if international assistance for holding these elections is required.

It will still be the assessment of the CEC, not mine, of course that's my personal opinion, but it would still be going back because Kosovo has reached a standard in organising the elections, standard that all institutions -- be local or international -- and you'd be the wrong step to now go back to a point where we've been long ago”, she said.

It is already working on creating an administrative directive that paves the way for holding elections through the resignation of current mayors.

Asked by RTV21 whether this instruction can be a legal basis for challenging the system in general. Daka said he doesn't view it as such.

Subx0> Administration can only determine the procedure for holding or collecting petition signatures, but cannot create new legal basis. It has been an assessment of that ministry, they consider it, but still that administrative direction can only regulate procedures. It cannot give more competencies than those defined with the relevant “law, Daka said.
