Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, Prof. Dr. Hajredin Kuçi, today met with the Ambassador of OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Jean-Claude Schlumberger, with whom he discussed on the election process which will be held this year, with particular emphasis on their organization in four municipalities in the north of Kosovo.

Deputy Prime Minister requested the OSCE's engagement in the elections in the north, which will be organized under the laws of Kosovo, but also in ensuring the smooth running of elections throughout Kosovo.

He expressed the need for mutual engagement so that the participation of all citizens, but especially of Serbian citizens, in elections is satisfactory and that the joint engagement ensures free and fair elections. Deputy Prime Minister thanked Ambassador Schlumberger for the OSCE's engagement in the electoral process and the integration of Serbs in the north into the Kosovo institutions, and said that the Government will invite the OSCE in order to monitor the elections throughout the country.
