Article reports that Kosovo’s elections on the 17 November 2007 threw into sharp focus the de facto partition on the ground that has yet to be addressed in negotiations over the future status of the disputed province. Ethnic Serbs, the largest minority, were expected to overwhelmingly boycott the voting for the 120-seat assembly in Pristina, the provisional capital of the ethnic Albanian-dominated province, UN and EU officials admit. A party led by a former Kosovo Albanian guerrilla leader, Hashim Thaci, won the election, according to unofficial results. He promised to declare formal independence from Serbia after 10 December 2007 - the UN deadline for Albanians and Serbs to reach a deal. |
