Episcope of Raska and Prizren Artemije has called upon the Serbs not to take part in the local elections in Kosmet, scheduled for November 15, as according to him it is a trap to make the Serbs recognize the illegal situation in the Province. Artemije told TANJUG that all those who turn out for the elections will obviously support the independence of Kosmet, adding that himself and priesthood of his eparchy as believing people will never agree to that. The Serbs have no need to approach the elections, unless they wish to recognize the independent Kosmet and live in a state outside Serbia, the episcope pointed. Also stating against the Serbs’ participation in those local elections are President Boris Tadic and the Serbian Government. The President believes that there are no conditions to invite the Serbs to turn out for the elections, while the Government has concluded that these elections are in discord with UN Resolution 1244, as well as with the Constitutional framework for the interim self-government in Kosmet.
