European Union spokesman Peter Stano has said it is important to hold local and inclusive elections as soon as possible in the four northern municipalities, where Kosovo Serbs participate without preconditions.
He has said the European Union has made it clear that the April 2023 elections had offered long-term political solutions due to very small exits.
“As far as elections are concerned, even though partial elections for mayors held in April 2023 in the four northern Kosovo municipalities were held in accordance with Kosovo's legal framework, we have been very clear that because of very low turnout, they have not offered a long-term political solution. Therefore, it is important that comprehensive local elections, where Kosovo Serbs participate without preconditions, be organised as soon as”, Stano has said of “COHA”
Stano has also recalled the commitment Kosovo has taken to Bratislava for de-pass, and has said Kosovo and Serbia should refrain from any uncoordinated action
“The EU underlines the High Representative's statement on behalf of the EU on June 3rd, 2023, which urged Kosovo and Serbia to take measures to decelerate the situation and refrain from any further uncoordinated action. Kosovo engaged in these principles in Bratislava in July 2023”, he stressed.
