I don't think it's misleading. It is an accurate description of the current situation. They also no longer have any representation in their local police force[0]. Along similar lines, it would be misleading to say the reason for the current situation is simply that "they boycotted the elections", without unpacking the reasons behind that boycott. For example, US actually penalised Kosovo[1] for their conduct following that election, and the EU went as far as to accuse their authorities of intentionally destabilising the situation. It's important to be mindful of succumbing to reductionism if you're looking to understand complex political situations (assuming that's what you're looking to do).
