PRISTINA – Following the recommendation of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Secretariat, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (SRSG) Joachim Rücker certified election results for the Assembly of Kosovo today.
“I am pleased that the electoral process is moving forward in a peaceful atmosphere which shows the maturity of the Kosovo people and the political parties,” the SRSG said after announcing the certification of results in accordance with UNMIK Regulation 2004/12 as amended by UNMIK Regulations 2007/26 and 2007/28 on the election for the Assembly of Kosovo.
The balloting for the Assembly of Kosovo was held on 17 November, when the electorate also chose Municipal Assembly Members and, for the first time, directly voted for a mayor for each of Kosovo’s 30 municipalities.
Following another recommendation of the CEC Secretariat and pursuant to Section 7.5 of UNMIK Regulation 2007/27, the SRSG also set the date for the mayoral run-off elections for 8 December.
