BRUSSELS Ivica Dacic has said that the talks he had with Kosovo PM Hashim Thaci and European foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Brussels were successful. "It is now essential that the Serbs in Kosovo turn out and vote in the repeated local elections in Kosovska Mitrovica in massive numbers," he stated on Wednesday. PM: Essential that Serbs turn out and vote The Central Election Commission (CEC) in Pristina annulled the election results from three polling stations in Kosovska Mitrovica. “If the CEC decision to repeat the vote at only these three polling stations remains, and the Serbs in north Mitrovica do not turn out in sufficient numbers, they will have an Albanian as mayor. That could cause conflicts, and perhaps even armed conflicts, and in that case Serbia would not be able to help very much at all,” Dacic told reporters in Brussels. He said that all the three parties at the meeting noted positively that the Serb turnout in the first round of the vote, held on November 3, was good, despite the incidents at the three polling stations in north Kosovska Mitrovica. The prime minister reiterated that it is now vital that the repeated vote in northern Kosovska Mitrovica, and the second round of local elections, scheduled for December 1, sees as large a turnout of Serbs as possible. The local elections in Kosovo were the main topic of today’s talks between the delegations of Belgrade and Pristina.
