The national election coordinator, Prosecutor Laura Pula, stated that during today’s election process, no major incidents were recorded that would undermine the integrity of the process. However, several minor incidents were identified, for which no one has been arrested, only interviewed.
She told KosovaPress that investigations have begun wherever elements of a criminal offense were found and that these investigations are ongoing.
"Overall, the process has gone well. We have not had any major incident that damaged the integrity of this electoral process. There have been various incidents which have occurred and have been reported, and wherever elements of a criminal offense were found, we have initiated investigations in some cases, and the investigations continue," she said.Prosecutor Laura Pula noted that the criminal offenses were related to the violation of the free determination of voters. In this context, the mayor of Ranillug, Tanja Antiq, was interviewed, along with two other cases constituting criminal offenses.
"Yes, there were cases of photographing the vote. Most of them said they photographed their ballots as a keepsake. We had to stop them to understand the reason for photographing the vote because if a vote is photographed for economic reasons, personal interests, intimidation, or other purposes, it falls under criminal offenses. Four or five individuals were stopped, but they were released through regular procedure because we could not verify that they did it for a specific illicit purpose," she said.
Today, citizens of Kosovo are voting to elect their representatives in the Assembly of Kosovo and, subsequently, the new government. Earlier in 2025, in February, Kosovo held its regular parliamentary elections.
