Local Elections in Kosovo: Focus on Minority Communities Candidates
ECMI Kosovo has drafted an information bulletin on local elections to be held on 3 November 2013 throughout Kosovo. The elections will be the first ones to be organised under the Kosovo legal framework in northern Kosovo, in application of the 19 April agreement between Prishtinë/Priština and Belgrade. The information bulletin presents the number of candidates from minority communities running for the 2013 local elections throughout Kosovo, with a focus on Serb-majority municipalities. It also provides an analysis of the key issues related to the participation of the Serb community, both north and south of Ibër/Ibar river. Finally, it draws conclusions from the large-scale voter education campaign conducted by ECMI Kosovo during the month of October in nine Serb-majority municipalities, including northern Kosovo.
