The Assembly of Kosovo Municipal Communities, featuring primarily representatives of the Serb community in Kosovo, will hold its constitutive session tomorrow. According to one Kosovo Serb leader and Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) MP Marko Jaksic, the new assembly will have 43 members, 17 from the Serb Radical Party, 13 from the DSS, and four each from the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and citizens’ groups.

However, the DS’s Goran Bogdanovic says that his party will not be participating at the assembly’s constitutive session. “We’re waiting for the formation of a new republic government, and for the government to take a decision on whether that assembly will help the survival of the Serb community in Kosovo, or harm the ongoing battle to preserve Kosovo and the economic rejuvenation of the Serb community,” Bogdanovic told journalists in parliament. He said that in principle, the DS did not oppose the creation of such an assembly, but was in favor of “sitting down and talking again”, because, at the elections, the DS had won 15 percent of the vote, but had only received three seats in the new assembly. “That’s completely unacceptable,” said Bogdanovic. “Until that situation changes, we certainly won’t be participating in that assembly. We’ve had bad experiences with various organizations created by the Serb community in Kosovo, such as the Serb National Council and the Community of Serb Municipalities, which served to blacken the names of political opponents, particularly that of President and DS leader Boris Tadic,” he pointed out.
