Borisavljevic: Young people have lost trust in the electoral process, turnout in December will be low
Dusan Borisavljevic from the Youth Council of Gračanica stated that young people have lost trust in the electoral process and that, for many of them, it no longer represents what they imagined democracy to be. He added that he does not expect the turnout of young people, especially those from minority communities, to be high on December 28.
Borisavljevic says that everything that happened after the elections in February this year left the impression that these were very unserious elections.
"For months, they were not able to ensure that these elections would have any consequence for improvement, for a better life, for an improved quality of life. I am afraid that young people will again turn out in smaller numbers in these upcoming elections, especially those from minority communities," he told Kosovo Online.
He stressed that, on the other hand, it is important that citizens, especially young people and members of minority communities, turn out in as large a number as possible and give their support to those they consider most deserving, so they can show that they are present in significant numbers and that they have someone who will represent their interests.
"We hope for the best, and we expect the worst," Borisavljevic said.
