Ruecker -
You will stand there on election day, like an eunuch, watching but totally unable to do anything about it.
I must say that I am very disappointed in both Doris Pack (Chairwoman of the European Parliament's Delegation for
Southeastern Europe) and Göran Farm (Swedish member of the same delegation). After this article (http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=04&dd=19&nav_id=49565) appeared on B92 on April 19, I sent both of them a question asking exactly what they believed UNMIK should do about the planned elections in Kosovo (see text below).
So far I have received no reply what so ever.
Text of letter:
I believe you are correct when you say that resolution 1244 do not allow for the organization of local Serbian elections in Kosovo, but I have to wonder, what do you suggest the new government and/or UNMIK should do if local Serbs ignores this and organizes their such elections?
If they start handing out self-made voting cards , sets up local voting places, perhaps in their private homes, and takes out adverts in the local newspapers and announces that on May 11 those people who have received a voting card are welcome to go and vote at this and that address?
What should UNMIK then do?
Should they arrest the local Serbs for trying to organize an election, polling what their countrymen thinks? Or would they only be arrested when they tried to hand over the election results to the Serbian government in Belgrade?
Should they arrest any person carrying one of those self-made voting cards on May 11?
Forbid more than 6 person to meet in a house on "election day"?
Maybe it is a flaw in my way of thinking, but I wonder how an
UN-organisation, or a Kosovo government that claims to be support democratic ideals, could even think of preventing anyone from holding elections. I am not saying that UNMIK or the the Kosovo government would need to respect the results - they could simply ignore them - but I do not see what right they or anyone else has to stop people from organizing an election.
