Mnogi se slažu da će neodržavanje lokalnih izbora naškoditi srbijanskom predsjedniku Borisu Tadiću pred ovogodišnje predsjedničke izbore u Srbiji, jer će javnost steći utisak da se sjever Kosova napušta.
Many agree that failure to hold the local election would hurt Serbian President Boris Tadic in the run up to the Serbian presidential election this year, because the public would get the impression that the north of Kosovo was being abandoned.
