Eight Kosovo Serbs are expected to run as candidates for Mayor of Graçanica, new Municipality to be created in Kosovo as foreseen in the Ahtisari Plan. Elections will take place on November 15 which is the day of local elections throughout Kosovo.

Five of the candidates work in Serb parallel institutions, two in Kosovo institutions, whereas the eighth is Momcilo Trajkovic, well known Kosovo Serb politician and at present owner of an agricultural company.

Rada Trajkovic, another well known Kosovo Serb politician, earlier had announced her participation in the race for Graçanica mayor but she gave up at the last moment.

No Kosovo Albanian candidates will run for the mayor position of this new municipality.
