You don’t need to be a political strategist to see that what the Serbian government desires is the lifting of Kosovo’s 100 percent tax on Serbian goods.
For now, Vučić cannot stop or block the elections in any way without impeding his own strategic goals.
We could potentially have elections every couple of months if the elected mayors don’t take their positions after winning.
It serves to show the international community that Serbia is following the 2013 agreement by allowing the elections to take place.
I am afraid that there is no good (legal) answer to this.
