Fatmir Sejdiu, Kosovo’s President, resigned on the 27 September 2010 after a court ruling that he had breached the constitution by holding the office without giving up leadership of his political party. His forced departure has badly shaken the ruling coalition and could cause the government to fall or look to smaller parties for support. It also raises doubts about Kosovo’s readiness for European Union-led talks with Serbia starting in October 2010. Article also reports that the political squabbling within Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority comes at the same time as rising tensions in the Serb-dominated north. The authorities, which are Albanian dominated, tore down Serbian-owned mobile-phone towers on the 25 September 2010, leaving nearly 80,000 Kosovo Serbs without mobile services. |
