Elections in the North of Kosovo/ Here is the participation in the voting, CEC:

The north of Kosovo today votes for early local elections. 19 polling stations were opened at 07:00 . Citizens will vote to elect local leaders. Meanwhile, the Central Election Commission announced that by 15:00 over 1,000 citizens had voted in the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo.

According to the data, the overall turnout in the elections is 2.4 percent or 1,092 out of 45,095 citizens with the right to vote.

The spokesperson of the Central Election Commission, Valmir Elezi, announced that until 15:00, the election process continued without any obstacles.

Participation is expected to be low, as Lista Serbe – the largest party of Kosovo Serbs, which itself will not participate in the election – has called for a boycott of the process.

The Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca, called on the citizens of the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo to vote en masse in the local elections.

He said that the elections are being held "in a calm and democratic atmosphere".

"Elections are the most democratic tool and the best opportunity for citizens to choose their representatives and make the desired changes through a free vote," he wrote on Facebook.

The early local elections are being held today in the Serb-majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo - North Mitrovica, Zubin Potok, Leposaviq and Zveçan.

The Central Election Commission held the second conference on Election Day for the extraordinary elections for mayor in the four municipalities of North Mitrovica, Zveçan, Leposaviq and Zubin Potok, as well as for the early elections for the two municipal assemblies Zveçan and Leposaviq.

The spokesperson of the CEC, Valmir Elezi, announced that the election process in these four municipalities is going well and without any obstacles.

According to CEC data, until 11:00 in the municipality of Leposaviq, 28 voters (0.21%), in the municipality of Zubin Potok 65 voters (1%), in Zveçan 29 voters (0.41%) and in Mitrovica of North 191 voters (1.05%).

The Central Election Commission calls on citizens with the right to vote to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

The third conference of the CEC will be held at 15:30, in which the progress of the voting process and the participation of voters in the elections will be announced.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and the President Vjosa Osmani, have called on the citizens with the right to vote in the north, to vote in the elections of April 23. They have accused Belgrade of intimidating citizens in this area.

"I want to assure you that all the institutions of Kosovo are doing everything to ensure that these elections are free and fair and that your safety is guaranteed", said Osmani. Meanwhile, the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, estimated that no more than "100 Serbs" will participate in the elections.

He said that no one will go out "to the police containers" to vote. The international community has expressed regret that the leading party of Kosovo Serbs - Lista Serbe - does not participate in the elections, and has called on all parties to exercise restraint.
