Serbs' Boycott Impacts Local Elections In Northern Kosovo

Low turnout was reported in the extraordinary local elections held in predominantly ethnic Serbian municipalities in northern Kosovo on April 23. Most of the voters in RFE/RL footage from North Mitrovica and Zvecan are local Albanians, as are most of the candidates for mayor, due to a boycott by the dominant Kosovo Serb party, Serbian List. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic supports the boycott.
