(3 years ago)Kosovo's government, the Ministry of Management of Local Power, has decided, respectively, to appoint the working Group for drafting Administrative Guide to assign procedures for the initiative of citizens to remove the mayors of northern municipalities from office. Regardless of how to get to municipal elections in the country's north, politicians [...]
The citizens' participation for the removal of Chairman” appears to be the government's option to hold elections in the country's north. To that end, the government has made the decision to appoint the working group, which will issue administrative guidelines on the issue.
Politologist Nedmedin Spahiu says it does not matter where the initiative for dismissal of the mayors comes from, but it is important that the signatures be collected.
It doesn't matter, from the line of initiative, the important thing is whether citizens' signatures for the collapse of heads, right? The fact that the government is starting to initiate this process and is in its aid. That's why it's an answer to the EU for other elections”, he says.
On the other hand, Serbian politician Ognjen Gogic says about RTK that if there is a will for new elections, then ways to declare them have been found. But first agreement must be reached between the Serbian and Albanian political parties.
The new “elections in four municipalities in northern Kosovo can only be reached with agreement between Serbian and Albanian parties that new elections will be exits from the crisis that has been continuing for several months in northern Kosovo. If there was a will for new elections, then ways have been found to declare them”, he said.
Even former CEC head Valdete Daka said that before deciding for new elections, “should be found a political agreement”, as according to her, the non-participation of Serbian citizens in the elections will bring the same situation as after the April elections.
On the other hand, the Central Election Commission says it will again organise elections in the country's four northern municipalities, whenever asked by responsible institutions, the institution's spokesman, Valmir Elesi, told Radio Kosovo.
Otherwise, against the administrative decision, subsequently this option for holding elections, has reacted to Zubin Potok's own chairman, Imri Zeqiri. He does not prefer this approach and says it will be unsuccessful.
