In northern Mitrovica, the petition was launched after the municipal assistants approved the initiative's request that the signing collection take place in the sports hall in this municipality in northern Kosovo, inhabited by Serb majority.

Meanwhile in Leposaviq, according to one of the petition initials, Veselin Radovovic, has been granted permission to use space in front of the municipality for signing collection.

Sanja Kurtinic, one of the initiatives in the petition launch in northern Mitrovica, through the media, announced citizens to take with them the necessary documents for signing the petition.

It invited citizens to sign the application for the dismissal of the current mayor of the municipality, calling on the directors of institutions that are funded by Serbia and the employees of these institutions, which have residences in North Mitrovica, to take IDs with them and sign the petition.

Next week, the signing collection was expected to begin in Zvecan and Zubin Potok.

The mayors in the four municipalities in northern Kosovo, which are inhabited by Serb majority -- North Mitrovica, Leposaviq, Zvecan and Zubin Potok -- are Albanians, as Serb parties and populations boycotted last year's local elections.

Signings for their departure are now being collected on the basis of the Government of Kosovo Administrative Guide, which was approved in early September 2023.

In order for the petition to be successful, at least 20 percent of the signatures from the total number of registered voters are required to be collected.

According to the Central Election Commission (KQZ), at least 3,640 signatures for the mayor's dismissal should be collected in northern Mitrovica, as 18,199 eligible voters have been registered.

In the fair voting municipality of Leposavic, there are 13,441 persons, meaning that at least 2,689 of them should sign the petition for the chairman's dismissal.

In Zubin Potok the petition must answer at least 1.347 voters, which is 20 percent out of 6,732 registered voters.

And in Zvecan, for the petition to be successful, it must be signed by at least 1,411 people.
