The Central Election Commission's decision not to approve the list of candidates for deputies of the Serbian List is "in violation of the right of citizens to democratically elect their representatives."
"Any attempt to violate this basic principle undermines the partnership between the United States and Kosovo," a spokesperson for the US Embassy in Pristina told Radio Free Europe.
On January 31, the CEC announced the final results of the December 28 snap parliamentary elections. But during the meeting, the Commission members approved the candidate lists of all parties except the Serbian List – the main Serb party in Kosovo that has the support of Belgrade.
Three CEC members voted in favor, two against from the Vetëvendosje Movement, and the remaining members abstained.
On February 2, the Serbian List appealed to the Electoral Panel for Annexes and Submissions about this CEC decision. /REL
