OSCE says turnout in Kosovo was 32.17%

@ agim I know your excited to know your next president but in time .

agim,have you not seen pic's of north kos. mitro. and other northern municipalities, Serbian symbols are everywhere. Actually, if you look you will see Serbian symbols throughtout KiM.

Agim, since you live in Brooklyn why should you care what symbols are on the building OUTSIDE when the people voting INSIDE are voting in Serbian elections. Are you that petty to get paranoid over what symbols are used? Go ask the people who are voting what they think and they'll tell you what country they live in. Better yet, why not get on a plane and fly from Brooklyn to Kosovo to look yourself? :)

Belgradian officials were not allowed to visit Kosovo during the electoral diem & these will be last belgradian elections in Kosovo.

Tomislav Nikolic visited northern Kosovo weeks ago. Where were you? Clearly not in Kosovo

Belgrade will hold elections there as long as it wants. It's part of the Ahtisaari Plan. Try reading it. Two more mayors of the north are up for re election in two years.

This shows that majority are loyal citizens of Prishtina, rather than Belgrade. I just love it.
(Agim Kelmendi, 6 May 2012, 20:53)

"Loyal citizens of Pristina"? Hahahaha! So if not one than the other huh?

So Agim thinks that because only 17% of Serbs in Kosovo voted the rest must be loyal citizens of Pristina. More likely many Kosovo Serbs were kept from voting in local elections because authorities in Pristina were determined to obstruct democratic elections and voting for a president and parliament in Belgrade does nothing to help the local needs of Serbs. So those who voted most likely voted in areas where Albanian interference was not present, like the north. If given the chance to vote for their own leaders, the turnout would have been a lot higher. Sorry Agim, you have no idea what you're talking about. No Serb in Kosovo is loyal to Pristina because Pristina has done nothing positive for them.

Have you not been south of Ibar lately, and you have no chance to to see any Serbian symbols?
(Agim Kelmendi, 6 May 2012, 22:02)

I was in Gracanica and it's as Serbian as it can be. But looking from New York Ibar can't be seen.

"OSCE has enabled all Kosovo citizens who are eligible to vote in the Serbian parliamentary and presidential elections to exercise their right and vote, OSCE said in the statement"

OK, so Serbs in Kosovo are in the same position as Serbs in, say, Croatia, Montenegro, U.S., Britain, Canada, South Africa, etc...

He needs money but it's gone, Red Eagle is gone, the money was swallowed by DioGuardi and he gave santorum to Agim in exchange. You can't get money for santorum, not even in Frisco.
Maybe with next presidential elections, who knows....

32%? They did better in Chicago, the world's second largest Serbian city - they had a 40% turnout.

I can see they managed to slap a Serbian flag in the front of ballot box, but I am surprise I don't see a pick outside polling station, which has no kind of symbol that identifies Serbia!?

Actually, if you look you will see Serbian symbols throughtout KiM.
(Robert1899, 6 May 2012, 15:47)


Unless you are talking about two different countries, bc, in my called Kosova I don't see any Serbian symbols, which includes police and army.
Don't know which planet you are living!

As long as it is osce that is organizing the election that is fine with us albanians. By the looks of it there is nothing to worry about. Dual citizenship grants u the right to vote. Ahtisari plan makes sure of that. As long as it is not the state of Serbia organizing them like Tadic and Dadic promised to the Serbian electorate.

Both Pristina and Belgrade have lost legitimacy when it comes to controlling the criminals. With the former appeasing the internationals it will be clear soon that the international factors will cooperate with Pristina to control and dissolve the illegal structures.

At the same time, while Pristina was pressured into allowing elections, Belgrade showed a larger weakness with a low amount of polling locations, unable to monitor voting process, and no symbols allowed. It should be worthy to mention two key facts: Belgradian officials were not allowed to visit Kosovo during the electoral diem & these will be last belgradian elections in Kosovo.


Sincerely,

"People complained at some polling stations that their names were not on the list of voters, he remarked, adding that the Serbian Electoral Commission had provided all the election materials"

Of course people would complain, because Serbia has excluded the large majority of Kosovo's population from voting, perhaps because Serbia thinks that Kosovo is not Serbia :)

The local authorities in Zvečan and Zubin Potok have organized local elections as well, despite disagreement from Belgrade and some of the international community.

The local elections are held in the facilities where the presidential and parliamentary elections are not held, and Serbian flags can be seen in some of those places, besides the OSCE symbols.


Now we know the % of K-Serbs on payroll that voted, which was 17% out of 100% of K-Serbs in Kosova(close to 200 thousand).This shows that majority are loyal citizens of Prishtina, rather than Belgrade. I just love it.

(Reality Check for Agim the Paranoid Albanian Diaspora, 6 May 2012, 21:27)

Exactly, you finally got it dear that Belgrade does not count in Kosovo more than what counts in, say, South Africa...

OK, so Serbs in Kosovo are in the same position as Serbs in, say, Croatia, Montenegro, U.S., Britain, Canada, South Africa, etc...

1. I cant read anything from OSCE being needed to enable citizens to vote in normal countries like the ones you mentioned above.
2. 38 polling stations in 22 countries
3. 90 polling stations in the non-country Kosovo

I thought the Albos said there would be no elections..!
HAHA

Belgrade will hold elections there as long as it wants. It's part of the Ahtisaari Plan. Try reading it. Two more mayors of the north are up for re election in two years.
(You can't be that Ignorant, 6 May 2012, 20:43)

Oh great, now we begin years of hearing how the Ahtisaari plan is all Serbia's idea... I thought Serbian's were all against the Ahtisaari plan, kind of like they used to be completely opposed to UNSC1244? Have you read it? If so, I am a little surprised you are quoting it, since while it goes to great lengths to protect the rights of Serbians living in Kosovo, it does nothing to promote Serbia's sovereignty over Kosovo.

I thought the Albos said there would be no elections..!
