The pre-election campaign for the upcoming extraordinary parliamentary elections in Kosovo began at midnight. North Mitrovica is flocked by Srpska Lista so the town looks like it did back in May during the mayoral campaign. This time, however, the Srpska Lista posters do not focus on one person, but on the ballot number 135 and the name of the party. At the same time, the Freedom (Sloboda) coalition started its campaign in the North today, but with a different approach. One of the coalition’s two independent candidates, Rada Trajkovic visited the site of Oliver Ivanovic’s murder this morning.
„With this act, the Freedom coalition is demanding, on its own behalf and on behalf of all citizens, a definitive answer to the question of who said – execute him, who ordered the political assassination of Oliver Ivanovic. We should not let it be forgotten, we should not let anyone else pay with their lives for fighting for an organized society,” the Freedom coalition wrote in a statement yesterday, announcing Trajkovic’s visit to the murder site.
The media and observers from the EU Election Observation Mission covered this visit. A police patrol was also present on the scene.
Trajkovic apologized to the Ivanovic family, mentioning their refusal to allow the use of Oliver Ivanovic’s name in the election campaign.
„They have to understand, that Oliver, after his vicious assassination, is no longer just theirs. Oliver belongs to all people who despise crime and seek justice and freedom,” this Freedom coalition candidate emphasized.
She once again criticized the Serbian authorities for „slowing down the investigation“ and protecting persons the Kosovo investigation authorities suspect of being involved in Ivanovic’s murder.
She also announced that the SDP premises would be transformed into the “Oliver Ivanovic” Memorial Complex, which will gather young people in search of freedom. Read more about Trajkovic’s visit this morning in the news:
Srpska Lista will start their campaign today as well. They will hold a pre-election convention in Leposavic this afternoon.
The leader of this list, Igor Simic said in an interview with the Politika daily newspaper that Srpska Lista is characterized by the fact that it „offers a concrete program, not hatred“. In the same interview, however, he referred to political opponents as „private Serbs controlled by Albanian political structures.“
The Independent Liberal Party, one of four political entities representing the Kosovo Serb community in these elections, will begin its campaign today at 11:30h with a conference at its party premises in Strpce.
