Revision as of 07:59, 22 April 2024

A referendum on the dismissal of four ethnic Albanian mayors of municipalities in Kosovo was held on 21 April 2024, in the region of North Kosovo with a majority Serb population. The municipalities where the referendum for the replacement of the mayor will be held are: Zubin Potok, Zvečan, Leposavić, and North Mitrovica. For the referendum to succeed, a majority of registered voters must vote for the replacement of the mayor in each municipality.[1] The referendum comes after a petition organized by citizens of municipalities in the north for the removal of 4 mayors in the north.[2][3] It is officially held, having been approved by Kosovo’s Central Electoral Commission.[4]

Results

The referendum was boycotted by Serbian voters, causing it to fail.[5]
