Serbian residents of northern Kosovo are going to the polls today for the second of a two-day referendum on whether to recognize the government of Pristina, Agence France Press reported.

The vote, which is widely expected to deliver an overwhelming "no" response, is a reaction to EU-brokered talks between Belgrade and Pristina.

First results are expected later today, after polling stations close at 7pm local time.

The question being put to Kosovo’s Serbian community is "Do you accept the institutions of the so-called republic of Kosovo seated in Pristina?"

The referendum has no legal weight, and has been dismissed by Pristina, along with the international community, AFP reported.

Even Serbia, which does not recognize Albanian rule, nor Kosovo’s declaration of independence in 2008, had urged the Serbs not to hold the vote, the Associated Press reported.

There are 120,000 ethnic Serbs in Kosovo, and turnout Monday, on the first day of the referendum, was at 48 percent.
