Zaporozac: Kurti is trying by all means to push Rasic into parliament and form a Government through him

The Vice President of the Serb List, Ivan Zaporozac, stated that since the end of the election process, it was clear that Kurti would attempt to prevent the Serb List from winning all ten mandates.

"By seizing mandates and altering the will of the Serbian people, it becomes evident in what kind of position our people are. Kurti's goal is to push fake Serbs and his loyalists into the Kosovo parliament, who will be able to control the will of the Serbian people. As for the Serbian people, they have clearly shown that they want to follow the policies of the Serb List and the leadership of Serbia," Zaporozac told Prva TV.

He added that Nenad Rasic had attempted at a press conference yesterday to accuse the Serb List, as well as him personally, of threatening citizens and stating that anyone who had not voted for the Serb List would face consequences.

"If we go step by step, they first tried to ban us from participating in the elections, then attempted to label the Serb List as treasonous through social media, and alongside all this, police repression was used to intimidate the Serbian people," Zaporozac emphasized.

He also stated that both Rasic and Kurti aim for Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to be removed from office to facilitate the removal of Serbs from Kosovo.

"They know that Vucic provides us with absolute support for staying in Kosovo because, without Serbia’s help, we wouldn’t be able to remain here," the Vice President of the Serb List said.
When asked how Serbs can fight against the seizure of mandates, Zaporozac said that the Serb List would report all irregularities to the Election Complaints Panel.

"First, they tried to ban us, then prevent us from participating in the elections, and now they are altering the will of the Serbian people and taking away our mandates. Something like this cannot happen in any democratic system in the world. We will try to reclaim the mandate through appeals, but I don’t believe we will succeed. They pushed Rasic through in areas where there are no Serbs, and that’s where he got votes. On the other hand, in the previous elections, a Bosniak party lost a mandate because they received votes from another ethnic group. But in this case, I am sure that since Rasic is needed by Kurti, his mandate will not be revoked, regardless of the complaints we submit," Zaporozac stressed.

He also pointed out that final election results are still unavailable.

"Kurti is trying by all means to push Rasic into parliament and form a Government through him. I hope that the international community will recognize the problems Serbs face in Kosovo and help us achieve a better quality of life. I also hope they will not allow such an illegal and illegitimate government to be established. Kurti is very nervous because he couldn’t influence his own voters. I hope he will not be the one to form the government in Pristina and that the opposition will do so instead, to ease tensions in Kosovo, where the Serbian people live," Zaporozac concluded.
