OSCE Mission to Serbia supports Government's call for minorities to register for council elections
BELGRADE, 7 August 2014 - The Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, Ambassador Peter Burkhard, welcomed the announcement made by the Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Kori Udovicki regarding the upcoming elections to the National Minority Councils.
“The Mission calls on all interested members of national minorities who have not yet registered in the Special Voters Registry to do so in a timely manner,” said Burkhard. “A high turnout would show the resolve of minorities to fully exercise their rights and take an active part in the public life of their country.”
“The OSCE Mission has been supporting Serbia’s efforts in improving its minority legislation with a view to promote and protect minority rights, while ensuring cohesion and inclusion. We stand ready to continue providing our assistance to the country in this endeavour,” stated the Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
