The Office for Information in the Mission of the Organization for Security and 
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in a response to Radio Kosova said that there are 
no conditions for the process of collecting the votes of Kosovo Serbs for the 
extraordinary presidential elections that are expected to be held on December 
17 in Serbia. 

“The mission also needs support from Kosovo institutions and the main one is 
the need for security from the Kosovo Police, as the first security provider. 
At the moment, these conditions do not exist”, reads the response of the OSCE 
in Pristina. 

The government’s spokesperson, Perparim Kryeziu, through an electronic response 
to Radio Kosova, said that in the previous meetings of Prime Minister Kurti 
with the OSCE ambassador in Kosovo, and the QUINT ambassadors, Serbia’s request 
to the OSCE for holding elections in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo 
was also discussed. In these meetings, Prime Minister Kurti said that an 
inter-state agreement is necessary and that the request for such an agreement 
should come from Serbia as an interested party.

Meanwhile, the political analyst, Artan Muhaxhiri, said that it would be good 
for Prime Minister Kurti to find a modality to offer voting to the Serbian 
minority while respecting the Constitution of Kosovo.

“This should be done respecting the laws, constitutionality, and the political 
will of the government of Kosovo. This process has not been problematic in the 
past. But, now also because of the delicate momentum of the dialogue process 
and for a kind of negative change in Serbia’s approach towards Kosovo and the 
dialogue in general, the circumstances have changed”, Muhaxhiri said.

The international community has repeatedly called on the government of Kosovo 
to find ways to hold Serbian elections. The holding of parliamentary elections 
in Serbia takes place at a time when the entire international community is 
making efforts to normalize Kosovo-Serbia relations, through dialogue 
facilitated by the European Union.
