Kosovo authorities have been installing containers in four Serb-dominated northern municipalities to be used as polling stations on Sunday, when voters are called to cast ballots in disupted local elections that most locals are likely to boycott.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia will insist that extraordinary local elections for four Serb majority municipalities in the north of Kosovo be held after the long-promised Association of Serb Municipalities is established.

More than 1,000 MP candidates will be keeping their fingers crossed on Sunday, awaiting the voters' verdict in Kosovo's sixth parliamentary elections in under 14 years.

Unlike in previous elections, when parties had up to a month to convince voters to cast their ballots for them, the campaign for these elections will only last ten days.

Due to the lack of time, the agendas of most political parties are quite tight as they plan to hold several activities and meetings with people across the country.
