Kosovo Serb referendum: 99.74% voted “No” to Pristina

Polls are closed in the two-day referendum in the four, predominantly Serb municipalities in northern Kosovo; turnout of 75.28 percent reported.

According to the first, unofficial results, 99.74 percent of those who decided to vote did so to reject the Kosovo institutions.

The area north of the Ibar River has consistently rejected the authority of the government in Priština, as well as the unilateral proclamation of independence made by Kosovo’s ethnic Albanians four years ago.

The final and official results will be announced on Sunday.
