Simic: Unity can secure all 10 mandates for the Serb List—We cannot afford to be divided

Slavko Simic, a member of the Presidency of the Serb List, emphasized that tomorrow’s elections are fateful for the Serbian people, who—fully aware of the gravity of the situation and their position—have mobilized and are ready to wage a major political battle to win all ten mandates.

“These elections are not only important; they are fateful. After winning all ten municipalities, it is crucial that we remain united and secure all ten mandates. It is essential that tomorrow we fight as one and thus become a political force capable of standing up to Kurti’s aggression and using the institutions in Pristina to fight for the dignity and rights of our people,” Simic told TV Prva.

He recalled that the rights of Serbs in Kosovo have been the most endangered in Europe since Kurti came to power.

Simic noted that he has served as a member of parliament in several terms and knows how beneficial it is for Albanians when Serbs run in multiple columns in elections and fail to act in unity.

He stressed that the Serb List was created as a single, unified list—out of a pressing need for Serbs to act together and in solidarity at all levels.

“We do not have the luxury of division,” Simic underlined, emphasizing the importance of pursuing a coordinated and unified policy.

He expressed confidence that the Serbian people clearly understand how fateful these elections are and how much damage was caused by the single mandate that Kurti took in the previous elections and handed to Nenad Rasic, through whom he sought to humiliate the Serbian people.

“I expect the Serbian people to understand that this is a unique opportunity to send those people into political history and show everyone who does not wish Serbs well that we will support our party. I believe we will win all ten mandates and become an indispensable political factor that others will have to engage with. Positions are not important to us—only an improved status for the Serbian people,” Simic emphasized.

He also stated that Kurti has nothing left to seek in the north.

“There is a sense of improvement, and the atmosphere is no longer what it was in the previous period when our municipalities were run by illegitimate mayors,” Simic explained.
