Lunacek told that she had monitored the repeated election in some municipalities in Kosovo and that she had seen electoral manipulation first hand.
"Kosovo is one electoral unit. The [electoral] system has many flaws and this is why preparations must start as soon as possible, for an election to be held by the end of the year, which is being proposed by some political parties," she said.
Before the new election, she added, new institutions should be formed, which would function until the new vote.
