Pristina's election panel upholds Srpska lista appeal

PRISTINA - Pristina's election complaints panel upheld a Srpska lista appeal on Wednesday and ordered the central election commission to certify the Serb party and its candidates for the February 9 elections in Kosovo-Metohija.

The panel threw out the commission's decision of December 23 not to certify Srpska lista and ordered the body to certify the party's application for registration to run in the elections and a list of its election candidates, as recommended by the commission's office for registration, certification and financial control on December 22.

On Monday, the commission failed to certify the Srpska lista application after two members from the Self-Determination Movement voted against the move.

Srpska lista filed the appeal on Tuesday.
