The very influential German European Parliament Member, Doris Pack, said on Monday that the Republic of Kosovo citizens had an important test on their way to European integration by passing a very vital process, that of elections.

MP Pack also expressed satisfaction on Serb participation in elections. She said that Serbs are realizing that their future depends on them.

"I realized that they cannot rely on someone in Serbia. And, importantly, it has overcome the threats that some politicians did, looking into Kosovar Serb voters as traitors," said Pack

The successful elections in Kosovo, as she said, can change the opinion of countries that have not recognized Kosovo's independence.

"Maybe it can convince some states to see this country positively, and to recognize Kosovo," added Doris Pack.

Dear Ms Pack,
My sympathy to you and German people, for everything you have done to help the helpless Kosovar people, who speak a language that Albanian understands. The horror for these people started since 1912, when Sanjak Novi Pazar, abruptly was separated from Kosova Vilyaet and handed over to Serbia and Montenegro by the great powers.
At the end of the Balkan wars and the First World War, the Illyrians, people who speak a language that Albanian understand, were divided between a number of different states: Albania, Greece and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (which became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929). On 1918 Kosova was brutally invaded by Franco-Serbian troops, occupied and later was allocated to Yugoslavia. In the inter-war period the Yugoslav government operated a policy of Serb and Montenegrin immigration into Kosova, which was resisted not only by the majority Dardanian population, but also by many of the indigenous Slav inhabitants. On 1999 Serb Troops and later Franko- Serbian forces expelled most of Kosovars from North Kosova, and replaced them with Serb Colons. This situation, morally, legally, politically is unacceptable, and jeopardizes the Existence of New Born, Republic of Kosova.
