He claimed that in North Mitrovica they won over 65 percent of the votes, while in Leposavic over 70 percent. " The closest race is in Zubin Potok ", he told the media.
Meanwhile, the candidate of the Vetëvendosje Movement for mayor of North Mitrovica Municipality, Erden Atiç, said that he will be the new mayor of this municipality.
"I will be the mayor of all citizens without distinction. We have big jobs ahead of us. I appeal to all citizens to have faith in the institution of the municipality and in me as mayor", he told the media.
Atiq said that he will cooperate with all communities in the municipality inhabited by a Serbian majority. According to the CEC, in the extraordinary local elections for the mayors of North Mitrovica, Leposaviç, Zveçan and Zubin Potok, 1,567 citizens voted.
The elections were boycotted by Lista Serbe, the Serbian party that is supported by Serbia, and which until now has led the four municipalities in the north of Kosovo, inhabited by a majority of Serbs./REL
