Kosovo Serb citizens with dual citizenship will have the right to vote in the Serbian referendum
After the meeting with the Ambassadors of Quint and the EU representative, the Government of Kosovo announces that the voting will take place by mail and at the Liaison Office, while emphasizing that the opening of Serbian polling stations in the territory of Kosovo is a clear violation. of the Constitution and laws of Kosovo.
“Moreover, such an act is a violation of territorial integrity by Serbia in relation to the independent and sovereign state of Kosovo. The institutions have called on the international community to apply the same standards in relation to Kosovo as with any other country, as the independence of our country is not only recognized by most democratic countries around the world, but also sealed by the ICJ.
The Constitution of Kosovo, applicable laws in Kosovo as well as international law and international practice do not recognize the right of one state to hold a referendum in the sovereign territory of another state. Therefore, the practices applied so far since 2012, have been unconstitutional, and as a result do not oblige the current institutions of the Republic of Kosovo arising from the clear will of the citizens expressed on February 14, 2021“, It is said in the press release.
According to the Kosovo government, the issue is not the role of the OSCE, but the role of Serbia and its parallel and illegal structures in Kosovo. Because, before the OSCE collected the votes, a completely illegal process of opening polling stations and ballot boxes in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo for a referendum of another state, namely Serbia, would be held, and this process would be organized by Serbia’s illegal structures in Kosovo, the statement said.
Meanwhile, today, the European Union’s foreign minister, Josep Borrell, said that the votes in the referendum on the constitution of Serbia, which was held on Sunday, were collected with the facilitation of the OSCE mission. Through Twitter, Borrell said that he talked about this with the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti and with the Serbian President, Aleksandar Vuçi..
