Sebia could extend elections to Kosovo

Belgrade faces a dilemma on whether to include Kosovo in its next round of national and local elections, as Germany has directly asked Serbia to abandon its so-called parallel institutions in Kosovo.

Serbia’s Ministry of Public Administration and Local Government is busy preparing electoral rolls. The job must be done by March 7 when the country, according to election law, is to call parliamentary and local elections, which then must be held no later than May 6.

But it remains unclear whether the country will hold local elections also in Serb-run parts of northern Kosovo.
