more precisely from total 25 political subjects competing on these elections, the form had only 24
sections, lack of content which according to the submitters of the complainants impacts directly in the
final result of each competitor on this competition. The submitter of the complaints added that in case
the form in question is carefully watched ( FRP), there is no respective section line for the first certified
subject for participation in the elections “ Liberal Egyptian Party” (PLE) with number 111, therefore they
had to start with the prescription of the results of this party in the second column which was foreseen for
the political subject “ Democratic Party of Kosovo” (PDK) with number 112 thus this caused confusion to
the members e VCC, counters and result recorders and distortion of the result in voting centers all over
Kosovo. This mistake made by CEC, according to the complaining subjects, has caused deep distrust to
the results of political parties due to possible mistakes, intentional or not, made at the voting centers,
during the description of the results so the votes for a Political Subject of Minorities FRP were not marked
at all thus causing an additional confusion especially when dealing the counting of the votes for the
candidates and the final result of these elections because in the meantime that there is no vote marked
to the political subject, the candidates of the same subject might have votes marked in the Candidates
result form and automatically there is a dilemma how come that the political subject has no vote while
its candidates do. Political subject Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) claims that as the consequence of
this mistake there were at about 2500 voting centers and about 165 thousand votes of this political subject
were marked to the other subject next to it -to Ashkali Party for Integration (PAL).
At the end they mentioned that this mistake fluctuated the trust of citizens and political parties in the
electoral process, it has violated heavily the integrity of electoral process in Republic of Kosovo as it made
the results from the electoral process incredible too so there was a violation of legal provisions of LGE
and Election rules of CEC so they asked from ECAP to suspend the counting process and order CEC to
recount ballots throughout Kosovo.
In order to support their allegations, the complaints submitters have attached some result forms (FRP) to
their complaints, the printed forms which were used at the voting process in the capacity of material
evidence.
