EU welcomes "peaceful conduct of elections in Kosovo"

You mean Serbia should be rewarded for not sending thugs to the North of Kosovo to set the polling stations on fire?

...its shows improvement though doesn't it Comm? I know any positive assessment of Kosova kills you inside but that really isn't our problem

I think that Serbian Government in Belgrade deserves respect here from EU officials, because it has contributed very much for a such a thing to happen.

Wow, I thought Albanians were not able to hold free, fair, and peaceful elections. First Albania, now Kosovo... . I don't know what to make of this!

Yes, you thought right. The first elections organized by Kosovo Albanian authorities some years ago were far from any standards, full of manipulation, threads, intimidation, faked voters lists, bought votes and everything you can imagine. Thaci's candidate in his home clan region was elected by 115% of the voters, that says it all.

Not without a reason Albania was the most corrupt country in Europe last year, followed by 'Kosovo' and Moldova.

Well, I always honor improvements. Hey, just today I read about the 'improved' position of Kosovo in the list of the most corrupt countries published by transparance international: In 2013, Kosovo managed to 'improve' its position from #105 to #111, and is now on par with Ethopia and Tanzania.

Little hint: #1 is the least corrupt country. But I always said: Kosovo suits better to Africa than to Europe, in many aspects.

P.S: And again, Albania is the most corrupt country in Europe, on #116.

No doubt that is a big minus, but there have been improvements in the carrying of elections. No doubt you were expecting a massive thumbs down from observers, it didn't happen and that seems to have killed a part of you. Ah well, we go on breathing. By the way, why do you keep bringing Albania into it? What is it with you and Albanians?

Oh and Comm, last I checked, Russia, Ukraine and Belarussia are in Europe and they're all ranked lower than Albania
