Kosovo votes to dismiss four Albanian mayors | Video

North Mirovica, Kosovo, Apr 21 (EFE/EPA) - Hundreds of residents of the municipalities of Zvecan, North Mitrovica, Zubin, Potok and Leposavic, in the north of Kosovo, are called to vote Sunday for the dismissal of their ethnic Albanian mayors.

On Jan. 17, 2024, hundreds of residents in the four municipalities signed petitions to dismiss the mayors elected by handfuls of votes as turnout during the elections in April 2023 was up to 5 per cent, in the North of Kosovo. For a mayor to be dismissed, 50 per cent plus one of the overall number of voters have to vote in favor but the main Serb party, Srpska lista has called residents to boycott the election once again.
