Ethnic Serbs in Kosovo will not vote in the next municipal elections.

Aleksandar Vucic, the President of Serbia disclosed this in a statement on Friday.

Before they participate in the election, representatives of Kosovo Serbs from the north want to see an association of Kosovo Serb towns established.

After meeting with Serb delegates from northern Kosovo, Vucic said; "We agreed to continue working together so that we could issue a joint statement about the elections that someone scheduled for April 23, in which Srpska Lista is not participating."

An agreement last month between the European Union, Serbia, and Kosovo, aiming to normalise ties included the establishment of such an organization as a fundamental component.

Serbia still views Kosovo as a separatist province, and frequent outbursts between the two countries have raised concerns of a resumption of hostilities.
