Spokesperson for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Nikola Gaon has said that 17 percent of the registered voters in Kosovo cast their ballots in the Serbian parliamentary and presidential elections by 2 p.m. on Sunday.

There have been no problems at any of the 90 polling stations, and the elections have been unimpeded so far, Gaon noted, adding that the vote is in progress and no incidents had happened.

People complained at some polling stations that their names were not on the list of voters, he remarked, adding that the Serbian Electoral Commission had provided all the election materials.

The OSCE is working with the election materials provided by the Serbian Electoral Commission, including the lists of voters, so it cannot influence those, he pointed out. All potential complaints should be addressed at the Serbian Electoral Commission after the vote, he said.

Eleven polling stations were opened in Kosovoska Mitrovica on Sunday, which is 50 percent less than during the previous election Serbia organized in that city.

The Kosovo police, who are in charge of security, are present near the stations.

The OSCE is tasked with organizing Serbia's parliamentary and presidential elections in Kosovo and enabling the people who live in Kosovo and have the right to vote in the elections to exercise that right, the OSCE stated on Sunday morning.

The OSCE said earlier it would pull out from organizing the elections if there were any attempts to hold the local elections as well.

Gaon told Tanjug that no such attempts had happened yet, adding that the next report on the turnout will be at 8 p.m..

A total of 109,113 voters have the right to vote at the parliamentary and presidential elections in Kosovo.

The local authorities in Zvecan and Zubin Potok have organized local elections as well, despite disagreement from Belgrade and some of the international community.

The local elections are held in the facilities where the presidential and parliamentary elections are not held, and Serbian flags can be seen in some of those places, besides the OSCE symbols.
