The U.S. Embassy in Pristina Concerned Over the Rejection of the Srpska Lista Electoral List

As the reason for this decision, the CEC cited alleged "nationalistic statements" made by the President of Srpska Lista in Kosovo, Zlatan Elek, during the presentation of the electoral list.

Two Commission members from the Self-Determination Movement opposed the approval of the list.

The U.S. Embassy in Pristina stated it is deeply concerned about the apparent inclusion of politically motivated criteria in the CEC's candidate certification process.

Such actions undermine fundamental democratic principles for free and fair elections, "as they open the door to subjective political influence on the electoral process," the embassy said.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic assessed that Albin Kurti is attempting to eliminate the only political opposition in Kosovo and Metohija, which is Srpska Lista.

The Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, stated that Kurti's attempt to unlawfully ban Srpska Lista's participation in the upcoming elections is the clearest indication of how much Pristina and its followers fear Serbian unity and solidarity, as well as the strength of Srpska Lista's candidates.
