“I am confident that 12 December will be a day of success for the democracy and people of this young country. I hope that all eligible voters, including members of the Serbian ethnic minority, will take this opportunity to help set the political course of their country through their votes. I am counting on successful elections, particularly with regard to dialogue between Serbia and Kosovo. I hope that the newly elected government in Pristina will seek direct dialogue with Serbia soon after the elections in order to begin solving the problems of everyday life. The people of both countries are urgently awaiting this.”
