Pozicija srbijanske vlade bila je da ona ne može Srbe pozvati na glasanje na izborima 12. decembra, jer nisu bili ispunjeni uslovi za to, a neki su taj stav protumačili kao postavljanje prepreke.
The Serbian government's position was that it could not call on the Kosovo Serbs to vote in the December 12th election because the conditions for that had not been created and some interpreted that stand in their own way.
