2023 Kosovan Local Elections
Local elections were held in four municipalities in the north of Kosovo on 23 April 2023. They were initially scheduled to be held in December 2022, but were subsequently postponed. The elections were held in the four Serb-majority municipalities of Leposavić, North Mitrovica, Zubin Potok and Zvečan, located in North Kosovo. The elections were boycotted by the biggest Serb political party in Kosovo, the Serb List, following its departure from Kosovan institutions and the resignation of their mayors in North Kosovo in November. Among the declared candidates, there were only two Serbs. Aleksandar Arsenijević, candidate for mayor of the North Mitrovica Municipality, withdrew his candidacy on 2 December. Only the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Vetëvendosje (LVV) had mayoral candidates in all four municipalities.

Party Of Kosovo Serbs
The Party of Kosovo Serbs (PKS, sr, Партија косовских Срба, Partija kosovskih Srba) is a political party of the Serb minority in Kosovo, led by former Serb List leader Aleksandar Jablanović. The city of Leposavić is considered the strongest support of the party. History Jablanović was previously the Minister of Communities and Returns in the Government of Kosovo. Then Prime Minister Isa Mustafa dismissed him from office in February 2015 after a statement in which, as judged from Pristina, he insulted the mothers of Gjakova by calling the students of the attack on the bus with Serbs going to the cemetery "savages" and "freaks". After that incident, Jablanović moved to the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veterans and Social Affairs of the Government of Serbia, and resigned after the incident with his brother. Following Jablanović's resignation from the Serb List, he founded the PKS, a splinter party of the Serb List, on 6 April 2017 and registered on ...

April is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian and Julian calendars. It is the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. April is commonly associated with the season of autumn in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and spring in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. History The Romans gave this month the Latin name ''Aprilis''"April" in ''Chambers's Encyclopædia''. London: George Newnes, 1961, Vol. 1, p. 497. but the derivation of this name is uncertain. The traditional etymology is from the verb ''aperire'', "to open", in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open", which is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of άνοιξη (''ánixi'') (opening) for spring. Since some of the Roman months were named in honor of divinities, and as April was sacred ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
