Kosovo press: Serbian elections "internal affair"

All print and electronic media in Kosovo focused on Boris Tadic’s victory at the presidential elections. All the papers also carried comments from the Kosovo leadership, including President Fatmir Sejdiu and Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, according to whom the Serbian presidential elections were “an internal matter for a neighboring country,” and that they had no bearing on the independence process in Kosovo. Kosovo press: Serbian elections "internal affair" “The dividing line between west and east in Serbia on Sunday was very fine. Nonetheless, Serbia chose to extend pro-European candidate Boris Tadic’s mandate by a further five years. Now, Kosovo is continuing its path and expects the independence date to be set,” says Albanian-language daily, Expres. Koha Ditore leads with “Nikolic congratulates Tadic on victory.” On page three, under the headline, “Serbian elections divide Kosovo Serbs”, the paper features statements from political representatives, as gives the opinions of citizens, Serbs and Albanians alike. Zeri leads with “Boris Tadic elected Serbian president“. Kosovo’s other dailies write in a similar tone.
