French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday called for new elections to be held in disputed municipalities in northern Kosovo, the scene of recent clashes.
“We have asked both parties to organize new elections in these four municipalities as soon as possible”, with a “commitment from Kosovo” and the “participation in these elections in a clear way on the part of the Serbian side”. declared Mr. Macron after a quadripartite meeting with the Serbian and Kosovar presidents in Chisinau. Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said shortly after that she was “ready to consider” this possibility.
