If Serbs had any autonomy at all they would apoint their own police commander! Why is pristina involved at all? Dictating who is in the list first and then choosing one already approved Serb! Why would Vojvodina Hungarians want Belgrade to appoint their police commander?

What rights do the north Kosovo serbs have? The right that pristina appoints who their police commander is?

It is not Pristina that decides who will be the police commander. Pristina HAS to accept one of 3 candidates that the serbs choose and I can assure you that noone of them will be an albanian. Secondly the serbs will have all the regional power when it comes to economy, healthcare and other issues in northern kosovo. Last but not least the hungarians of Vojvodina doesnt have to go to Belgrade and ask for anything, they have the choice to put their vote in minority issue in the provincial parliament of Vojvodina in Novi Sad. Are you really that stupid and illiterate?

Despite of all the irregularities we know from 'democratic' elections organized by Kosovo instutions, the result shows one thing: A majority of the population living in the north doesn't want have anything to do with the 'state of Kosovo', ruled by Albanian mafia, and they prefer to be ruled by Serbian mafia. The option they would like best, to live in a normal state, is not possible for them.

Counting the Votes

pre 10 godina

1,190 votes went to the Albanian candidate. It's reasonable to suggest that these votes came from Albanians. Plus there's the 997 "Conditional votes". Plus there's the other votes that went to the other Albanian guy. That means less than 2,000 Serbians voted in the election in KM.

Here is the proof about Hungarians wanting the same rights north Kosovo Serbs got.

What rights do the north Kosovo serbs have? The right that pristina appoints who their police commander is? The right that pristina dictates all laws on education, health , everything! The right that they vote of Republic of Kosovo Central Election Commission ballots? The rights of no power over anything and complete and total Pristina dictatorship? Why do Vojvodina Hungarians want Belgrade to appoint the police chief and judges and everything?

Sure, it is a charade. But it does no damage so far to Serbian claims to Kosovo. The real fraud is Albanian nationalism in Kosovo, but it is a dangerous fraud. Little charades like this pacify the Albanians who care nothing for elections. The Serbs are the only ones here who really value elections and they are artificially the minority here. Is it any surprise there was such a small amount of available voters who showed up?

North Kosovo Serbs finally understood that listening to extremists will have to stop. Belgrade managed in the end to explain to them that few thousand Serbs can't create a new state. If that was possible Vojvodina, Sandzak and Presheva Valley would have done the same. Some Vojvodina Hungarians even began asking the same rights north Kosovo Serbs have.

This election is a charade. On the one hand state employees are being forced to vote and on the other you have ordinary people who are intimidated into not voting by a very organised local campaign whose supporters are prepared to use bombs and wait outside polling stations...

It is good that our people in the northern part of Kosovo finally starts to realize the situation on the ground and take their fate in their own hands. As a serb I can scream that Kosovo is Serbia as much as I want, the facts are a different story and this is a sign that our people in Kosovo finally starts to realize this. Voting does not mean that Serbia as a state abandons the serbs, it only means that they are taking the situation in their own hands and elect people that will make their voice heard.

LOL! Successful they were in that EU/US "democratic" way. Keep repeating and manipulating until the desired result it achieved.

I wonder whether B92 will report about the coercion and threats other media have reported?

"I was called on Friday night and told that, as someone on welfare, they'd be giving out sugar, oil and a bit of money sent by the state so that I would vote for the government candidate," said Vesna Cosic, a pregnant unemployed Serb woman in Mitrovica.

"Then they started to threaten. 'If you don't come on Sunday, we'll take you off welfare'," Cosic told Reuters.

Several residents, clutching bags of sugar and oil, said they had received state handouts on the promise they would vote.

COLLECTIVE VOTING

Other Serbs, working in Serbian state institutions, spoke of pressure from managers to turn out with family members to vote.

Workers at the local hospital, who receive their salaries from Serbia, arrived to vote en masse, filing past an envoy of Europe's chief rights and democracy watchdog, the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as he addressed reporters.

"There is no problem, everything is going smoothly," Ambassador Jean-Claude Schlumberger said when asked about signs of pressure on voters.

22%. What a victory for Brussels and Washington! All this after threats, blackmail and a Belgrade enforced Dog & Pony show. Expect a propaganda blitz next on how this legitimizes the vote in northern Kosovo.

Forget about the many IDPs who were denied any voting by Pristina, Brussels and Washington, their complicity is measured at a very lowest of common denominators.

With the help of the politically corrupt OSCE, the vote will be endorsed and be declared as a victory for 'European Values'. From the Council of Ministers, to the European Commission to the European Parliament, they will all fall in line. See, the Serbs in Kosovo do want to live as bonded slaves in a territory run by the head of the Balkan mafia with war crimes blood all over his hand.

It so good that 'Europe' applies such stringent standards! Just imagine if Brussels wasn't there to fix anything... Just another unique precedent, until the next unique precedent.

It's slow minority extermination, the Western way.
