The four Serb-majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo will have Albanian mayors following Sunday’s vote according to preliminary results released overnight by the Kosovo Central Election Commission.

The Central Election Commission said that Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s Vetevendosje (Self-Determination) won in Mitrovica North and Leposavic while the Democratic Party of Kosovo (DPK) won in Zvecan and Zubin Potok. A total of 1,567 of more than 45,000 registered voters or just 3.47 percent cast ballots in those four municipalities. Serbs and their political parties boycotted the elections.

A Commission press release said that DPK candidates for mayor Izmir Zeqiri and Ilir Peci won in Zubin Potok and Zvecan respectively while Vetevendosje candidates Lulzim Hetemi and Erdan Atiq won in Leposavic and Mitrovica North respectively.

Sladjana Pantovic was the only Serb candidate who stayed in the running for mayor of Zvecan, winning just 5 votes.

Goran Rakic, leader of the Belgrade-backed Serb List party, said that the elections were illegitimate and illegal, adding that the Serbs boycotted them because of “Kurti’s lies … and the daily repression against Serbs … and the fact that Pristina has not implemented agreements ”.

The Kosovo police said that local elections in the four municipalities was free of incidents.
