Banned from voting in their own local elections, Serbian ethno-nationalists in north Kosovo are Boycotting Local Elections. The boycotting group says that they do so because they want to participate in the local election in the regions that they control, but are not authorized to do so by the Serbian government. With polling booths set to open nationwide on October 11th, the boycott potential implications could be powerful.
Like any other region in Kosovo, the Serbian government has limited power over the area in which they live. ethno-nationalists in north Kosovo wield significant influence over the region, and their withdrawal from the voting process could lead to a power vacuum in which minority groups can dominance the political landscape. The boycott is an effective form of intimidation, as it reduces the number of people who will be casting ballots, and could lead to a hung government. While the government may choose toignore the boycott, a resulting power vacuum could lead to violence or instability.

Lefteris Zhardjian is the campaign strategist for the Serbian Parliamentary Group in North Kosovo. In a recent interview, he discusses how the Serbian Parliament decided to boycott the local elections in North Kosovo, due to the lack of representation of Serbian speakers in the majority population. Zhardjian stressed that such boycotts are not done lightly, and that they are, in fact, a deliberate effort to ensure that the voice of Serbian speakers is not heard. He stated that this is a biggest issue in North Kosovo, and that the lack of representation benefits the Albanian majority. Zhardjian argues that the boycott of the local elections will not have any practical consequences, as there is no way for Serbian MPs to win seats in the local government. However, he warns that this situation could change in the future, as the Albanian majority may start inviting Serbian MPs to join the government in order to achieve their goals. This would effectively put an end to the boycott, but it is still an important step in the overall goal of achieving more forSouth Kosovo.
