Radakovic: New elections possible in November or December

Dusan Radakovic, executive director of the NGO Advocacy Center for Democratic Culture (ACDC), believes that Kosovo is heading toward new elections that could be held in December, or possibly even in November. He also believes that the decision of the Specialist Chambers in The Hague could have a political impact on any new elections, particularly if former Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) leaders are acquitted, which he says would boost the party's support.
