Petkovic: Nothing is over, Serb List will fight and prevail

The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, stated that the Central Election Commission of Kosovo, acting “under the direct orders of Albin Kurti,” refused this evening to certify the Serb List for participation in the October 12 local elections.

Petkovic stressed that Kurti’s move against the Serb List is in fact “an attack on the entire Serbian people in Kosovo.”

Nevertheless, he underlined that “nothing is over” and that the Serb List “will fight and will prevail.”

“By Kurti’s direct order, the CEC tonight rejected the participation of the Serb List in the local elections. This is the same attempt to extinguish the Serb List as in December of last year. Kurti’s strike on the Serb List is a strike on the entire Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija. That is why there is no doubt whom the Serbs support. Nothing is over—the Serb List will fight and will prevail,” Petkovic wrote on the social media platform X.

Earlier in the evening, the CEC rejected the Serb List’s certification with two votes in favor, two against, and seven abstentions.
