Our”Vos are real and not as their”, Raskopi denies Serbian List allegations that he won the MP's mandate with Albanian votes

On the other hand, Rassic in a statement to Radio Free Europe stresses that in the past two years he has been minister for the Community and Return in the Government of Kosovo and that his work has won the confidence of other non-profit communities living in Kosovo, not just the Serb community.

Rassic is minister in the Government of Prime Minister Albin Kurti, who appointed him to this position after leaving the Serbian List from Kosovo institutions.

The Serbian list following the closure of seats in the February 9th parliamentary elections, said it had won all ten seats reserved for the Serb community, but on March 7th, Serbian List official Igor Sibius said that “have forgotten the fact that Rassic is Pristina's favourite and the regime of [Kosovo Prime Minister] Albin Kurti, therefore he will get votes even where there are no Serbs”.

He cited, as an example, the fact that Rashiqi's party has received votes in Podujevo, Shpe, Suhareka, Ferizaj, Malisheva and Kacanik.

“The most drab of this political engineering is Prizren municipality. The Serbian list has received 30 votes in the entire municipality of Prizren, while he [Raspqi] has received 157 votes. This is the only municipality where Nenad Rassic has managed to defeat the Serbian people so drasticly with the votes of the Albanians”, Sibiu said at a media conference in North Mitrovica.

Rassic has responded to these charges, saying that over the past two years as minister has helped 1,700 families, of which at least half were members of other non-Serb communities.

To make it clear, communities live everywhere, starting with Serbs, Goranians, Turks, Bosniaks, Ashkali, Egyptians and Roma. The way we worked, I think it was fair to get even more votes. Our votes are real and not as their own, imported by people who have not lived in Kosovo for 25 years”, Rassic told Radio Free Europe, alluding to the votes of Kosovo-displaced Serbs who came to vote with the organisation of Serbia's Office for Refugees in the Serbian Government.

According to Central Kosovo Election Commission data, the Serbian List has received over 38,000 votes, while Rashiqi's party has received about 4,000 votes.

As enemies from the Serbian List stressed that the ten countries reserved in the Kosovo Assembly are representation of the Serb community, and that, according to him, Rassic has taken a seat with the “vots of Albanians”.

He said the Serbian List has already contacted the competent “institutions”, but that under the new Law for Elections, their observers must identify exactly any vote allegedly contradictory, which is impossible.

Our <x0); our legal team is still considering what and how to act, but changes to the Law for General Elections require that precisely determine which Albanian vote is in which decision. It is not enough to see voter lists -- who, as well as where -- voted”, he said.

In the 2021 parliamentary elections, Bosnian Mitrovica, Adrijana Hodzic, was charged with winning a seat in Kosovo's Parliament thanks to the Serb community's vote, to which, according to claims, the Serbian List had exerted influence to take control of some of the non-US communities in Kosovo.

Nenad Rassic was one of those who made public these claims. Now, Raspic said no one has the right to question his votes because “anyone has the right to choose and select”.

At that world, the Supreme Court of Kosovo had cancelled 4,205 votes that Adrijana Hodzic's United Community Civic Initiative had received in Serb majority municipalities. As a result, she lost her country in the Kosovo Assembly.

Kosovo's constitution guarantees ten out of the 120 seats in the Parliament for the Serb community and ten others for other non-US communities. These mandates are key to adopting key laws in the Kosovo Assembly, as support of two-thirds of the deputies' votes from the ranks of non-US communities is needed for them.
