"Elections should be held in north as well"

U.S. Ambassador in Pristina Christopher Dell says the Dec. 12 Kosovo elections should be held in the north as well. The north is predominantly populated by Serbs who reject the authority of the Kosovo Albanian government in Pristina, which is organizing the ballot. "Elections should be held in north as well" "We are working with the Central Election Commission and international partners to create conditions for the elections in the north. I believe that the elections will be also held there, because it is of immense importance," Dell said at the panel discussion about appeals and complaints at the commission in Pristina. The American diplomat said that the holding of elections in the north of Kosovo on December 12 is of great importance, and added that is in accordance with an agreement reached at the international level. The representatives of the four Serbian municipalities in northern Kosovo have called on Serbs to boycott the elections. Regardless of that, Dell said that all inhabitants of Kosovo deserve to have the equal opportunities to vote, and thus choose their leader.
