The CIK adopted this decisionn on the basis of the Kosovo Supreme Court opinion that the December 12 elections were rigged.

The request for repeating elections in Kosovska Mitrovica was filed by movement Vetevendosje (Self-Determination).

On Monday, the CIK released preliminary results of the Sunday repeated elections in five Kosovo municipalities, and stated that the turnout was considerably lower than on December 12.

The commission did not state who won most votes in the five municipalities.

Network of NGOs Democracy in Action released earlier the results of the second round of Kosovo parliamentary elections, according to which the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo won the majority of votes in Decani, western Kosovo, while the Democratic Party of Kosovo won most votes in the northern Kosovo city of Srbica, Glogovac in central Kosovo, and at some polling stations in central Kosovo municipalities Lipljan and Malisevo.
