Hargreaves on the ban of the Serb List: CEC should act according to law, not political interests

The British Ambassador to Kosovo, Jonathan Hargreaves, strongly reacted to yesterday's decision by the Central Election Commission (CEC) not to certify the candidacy of the Serb List for participation in the parliamentary elections on February 9.

In a Facebook post, Hargreaves called on the CEC to ensure that the electoral process is conducted based on proper legal procedures and not political interests.

"I urge the Central Election Commission to make sure that the electoral process is conducted with integrity and on the basis of proper legal procedures rather than political interests. We expect the CEC and all its members to assess the Serb List’s certification according to the inclusive, transparent and robust application of relevant regulations," he wrote.
