Baraliu: Not postponing the elections in the north is the right step
The former chairman of the Central Electoral
Commission, Mazllum Baraliu, says that it is the right step not to postpone the
elections in the four northern municipalities. According to him, reducing the
number of voting centers and voting in alternative centers depending on the
circumstances is a long-standing international practice.
He emphasizes that as long as there is no legal
threshold for the percentage of citizens' participation in the elections, they
will be legal and legitimate. Meanwhile, Baraliu says that he does not expect
destabilization of the situation in the north despite the non-participation of
the Serbian List in the elections of April 23, while also emphasizing the need
not to hinder the exercise of mandates for those who win them after the
elections.
Baraliu told KosovaPress that it is the last moment for citizens in the Municipality of North Mitrovica, Zubin Potok, Leposaviq and Zveçan to have their legal institutions created by an election process...
