Municipality of Leposavic Coordinator’s office for the Strategy of North Municipality of Leposavic at the direct border <strong>with</strong> Serbia, from where is Bogdanovic, the socalled minister for Kosovo from Serb government, also operated as part of the parallel system of Government of Serbia. Belgrade <strong>with</strong> benefits and financial investments gives life and functionality to parallel Serb structures in this part of the territory of Republic of Kosovo. Local elections organized by Serb government after ’99 and until now were never hindered by UNMIK, which is here to implement resolution 1244. Prior to independence, municipality of Leposavic operated under kosovar system <strong>with</strong>in UNMIK, but this situation changed after this period, even though life of the municipal structures in north, except Mitrovica, was extended by a decree of the President of Kosovo. UNMIK continues to be present in the municipality of Leposavic, sometimes clearly going beyond their competences, like in the case of interviewing Bosnian citizens who live in this municipality regarding their motive to vote in elections organized by kosovar institutions. 45 Bosnians who live in a group of villages like Rvtaska, Kalin, Berberiste, etc. regularly took part in elections of Kosovo together <strong>with</strong> three Albanian villages of this municipality. But, in previous elections a number of Serbs from this municipality also took part. The group of Bosnian villages is located in the border <strong>with</strong> this municipality that at the same time is the border between Kosovo and Serbia, but also the border of Kosovo itself, Serbia and the region of Sandzak, where the majority of inhabitants are Muslim Bosnians. This community found itself quite often under the pressure of Serb radicals. Serb citizens from this municipality benefited from projects and institutions of Kosovo or bank systems operating in Kosovo. But, other institutions operating there are in close relation <strong>with</strong> the Serb ones thanks to geographic closeness. Serb’s not voting in the elections organized by KQZ, UNMIK legalized parallel institutions organized by Serb laws and systems by some administrative instructions <strong>with</strong>in Kosovo. Closeness <strong>with</strong> border crossing Jarinje, put this municipality in the circulation road of people and goods between Kosovo and Serbia. 46Structure of the parallel Municipality of Leposavic, based on the elections organized on 11 May 2008 is: • Number of voting polls 91 • Number of ballots 12.254 • Number of valuable ballots 7.839 45 Lila Galijeva, from UNMIK asked the election official from village Rvatska, the deceased Shefko Salkovic, on the day he was killed, regarding the reasons they decided to appear in Kosovo elections. 46 http://www.rik.parlament.gov.rs/latinica/propisi_frames.htm 32
