The candidate for mayor from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Gëzim Plakolli, has completed the voting process at the “Musa Hoti” elementary school. He called on citizens to fulfill their civic duty by voting.

“I wish the entire voting process to go in the best way possible. The whole procedure took about 15 minutes, so I want to commend the Central Election Commission (CEC) and all the teams involved in organizing these elections. I also want to invite every citizen of Mitrovica to come out and exercise their responsibility and civic duty by voting for the best candidate, because in just 15 minutes they can decide who will lead the municipality of Mitrovica for the next four years. I call on every citizen of Mitrovica to come out, fulfill their civic obligation, and move forward,” emphasized Plakolli.
