The U.S. ambassador to Kosovo, Christopher Dell, says the local elections have shown that "independent Kosovo is a place where democracy is flourishing".
He also praised the Kosovo Serbs that voted on the “decision to participate and their courage”.
“You recognized rightly that these elections were a unique opportunity to shape your future and the future of your community. The United States expects a further continuation of cooperation with you towards fulfilling the promises that were characteristic of these elections,” Dell said.
He added that political parties and politicians led “bold campaigns mostly without incidents", based on real problems, such as schooling, the industry, municipal services which are of real importance to the voters.
“The winners have the obligation to administrate in a transparent way and to make decision that will support the desires of its their voters to live in a democratic, multi-ethic and progressive Kosovo,” concluded Dell. Comments (44)
