Following the collective withdrawal of Kosovo's Serbs from local authorities in the North of the country, elections for mayors in the northern municipalities are expected to be held on December 18. The Serbian List, which led the municipalities until the collective resignation, will not participate in the elections after the Government decided to punish the owners of cars with illegal license plates issued by Serbia.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia eight years (in 2008) following a NATO Bombing campaign (in 1999), which aimed at halting the ethnic cleansing campaign of ethnic Albanians by the Milosevic regime. Serbian armed forces of Yugoslavia had systematically targeted ethnic Albanians following the arrival of Milosevic on top of Yugoslavia in 1989. Serbia is responsible for the death of nearly 250,000 people across the Balkans within one decade.
