Serb-majority municipalities vote to withdraw from the Association of Kosovo

The Serb-majority municipalities in northern Kosovo – North Mitrovica, Leposavic and Zubin Potok – voted to withdraw from the Association of Kosovo Municipalities on Friday, as they want to be part of a separate association of Serb-majority municipalities in the country.

This is the second time they have voted on this, following the vote on December 18th last year.

But the December vote was declared illegal by the acting Minister of Local Government Administration, Elbert Krasniqi, due to procedural irregularities, as, among other things, the proposal was made by the mayors of the municipalities.

"This practice contradicts the Law on Local Self-Government (Article 47.2), which stipulates that only members of the assembly have the right to request the addition of items to the agenda during the session, and only for urgent matters of public importance," Krasniqi wrote on Facebook after the December vote.
