The chairwoman of the European Movement of Serbs organization, Rada Trajkovic, has stated that the Serbian government had "nothing against" some Serbs voting in the early Kosovo parliamentary elections on Dec. 12.
Rada Trajkovic said she had formed a ticket for the Kosovo elections, which includes members of all parties whose headquarters are in Belgrade.
"The government is not in favor of the elections, but will have nothing against it if some Serbs vote. It is not threatening with any sanctions. On the other hand, the Serbs understand that the Serbian government cannot explicitly approve of the elections because political circumstances prevent it from doing so. Still, we all know that there are fundamentally no problems in our communication," she said.
The majority of representatives of parties in the Serbian Parliament have reiterated that conditions for the Serbs' voting in the Kosovo elections have not yet been fulfilled, while the Liberal Democratic Party believes that the Serbian government made a mistake by not urging the Serbs to vote.
The European Parliament's rapporteur for Serbia, Jelko Kacin, said in Belgrade that he advocates the Serbs' voting in the elections, adding that Serb representatives are needed in all bodies of authority in Kosovo.
