Complaint to ECAP that Rashiqi received 203 votes in villages with Bosniaks

Five complaints have been submitted to the ECAP regarding the announcement of the final results by the CEC. Two complaints are against Nenad Rashiq's party, one against the Vakat Coalition and two from the PDK candidates - Bekim Haxhiu and Qëndrim Kyreziu, who have again requested a recount of preferential votes within the party.

In six villages where there are only 6 Serbs, Nenad Rašić's party won 203 votes, claims Nova Demokrastka Stranka, an entity led by Emilja Rexhepi.

The Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel on Monday received five complaints against the final result announced by the Central Election Commission on Saturday.

In the final hours of the deadline, NDS, a Bosniak party led by the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly in the 10th Legislature, Rexhepi, complained about the votes of the party Za Slobodu Pravdu i Opstanak (ZSPO) led by Rašić, the acting Minister for Communities and Returns.

Based on the complaint, in the villages of Reçan, Lubinje e Epërme, Lubinje e Poshtme, Manastriče, Gërnčar and Planjanë, all in Prizren, where according to the document 8259 Bosniaks and 6 Serbs live, the ZSPO, which competed to represent the Serbs, received over 200 votes.

With this appeal, the NDS requests the annulment of these votes.

"The well-founded suspicion stems from the fact that the aforementioned votes were conducted in environments where, according to official demographic data, the Serbian community does not have a real or relevant presence, therefore there is a need for the ECAP to verify whether their use for calculating the guaranteed mandate has led to the misuse of the constitutional mechanism of guaranteed seats and the violation of the authentic representation of non-majority communities," states the NDS complaint, submitted to the ECAP.

The NDS, in another complaint, has requested that 94 votes received by the rival Bosniak entity, Koalicija Vakat, in the village of Velezha, Prizren, be annulled.

As stated in the complaint, only one Bosnian lives in this settlement and all the others are Albanians.

Both of these Bosniak parties have received one seat each in the assembly, based on the final results of the June 7 elections.

And there was another complaint against Rashiq's party.

As Kossev reports, the Serbian List has complained to the ECAP regarding votes that, according to them, the ZSPO took from Albanians.

The Democratic Party's candidates for MPs, Bekim Haxhiu and Qendrim Kryeziu, have also submitted a complaint to the ECAP.

Both held a press conference before filing the complaint.

Haxhiu said that the recount of 7.41% of the votes found errors during the initial count, and that, according to him, a full recount could change the composition of the assembly.

Haxhiu also criticized the CEC for not publishing the recount report.

"And I am asking the ECAP not to allow the certification of an election result that is incorrect. We are not asking for extraordinary procedures, we are asking for a procedure that is provided for by law - a recount," Haxhiu said.

And the other candidate for MP, Qendrim Kryeziu, said that the law does not say that mistakes, no matter how small, must be forgiven.

"But the law does not say that we should forgive them, the law says that it should be applied to everyone equally and that every vote should be counted vote for vote. So we are not asking for anything extraordinary, we are just asking for those who voted for us to be thanked and to have the exact number of votes because it is known that there are more mistakes than they say. So we are asking for our right to have every vote counted and nothing more," said Kryeziu.

Haxhiu is the first candidate on the PDK's list of rejected candidates. He has 102 votes less than Rrustem Mustafa, who secured a seat in the Assembly.

While Kryeziu is much further away from the zone that secures a seat in the Assembly. He finished 45th with 6.758 votes.

Regarding this issue, Haxhiu and Kryeziu had complained even after the recount was completed, but both the ECAP and the Supreme Court had rejected their requests for a recount of all PDK preferential votes.

The ECAP has 4 days to respond to their complaint. If the complaints are rejected, they have the right to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The General Elections Law gives the Supreme Court five days to decide on appeals.
