Both members of the Central Election Commission (CEC) from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), who since last night have been monitoring the process at the counting center in Mitrovica, have said that the integrity of the elections has been compromised. After PDK submits its complaint, they will await the decision of the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arianit Elshani\u00a0\u2013 member of the CEC from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, told the media in Mitrovica that after receiving information that ballot papers were found moved from one classroom to another and from one school to another, they came during the night, and what they saw was very concerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday you saw a press conference, and a complaint will be submitted to the ECAP, after which the procedure will continue in other institutions, depending on the ECAP\u2019s decision. We consider that, in the eyes of the citizens, this process has been damaged \u2014 the integrity of the elections has been compromised \u2014 and we are waiting for a decision from the ECAP after the complaint is submitted. What happened here, what we saw \u2014 from one classroom to another, and from one school to another \u2014 completely harms the voting process in the municipality of Mitrovica,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also commented on the prosecution\u2019s decision to restart the recount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have not officially received that communication, and once we do, all PDK bodies will review it and take further steps \u2014 whether to participate in the counting team at the Municipal Counting Center. What we know is that yesterday the counting teams left the MCC because they did not want to sign the form and did not want to legitimize a process they doubted. Everyone doubts what we have seen through the video recordings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the statements by the former mayor of Skenderaj,\u00a0Fadil Nura,\u00a0that both PDK members in the CEC should be dismissed, Elshani said that this is a matter for the party\u2019s internal bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interrupted counting process is set to resume today at 16:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
