Anyone in Kosova who has voting rights in Serbia should be allowed to exercise them provided that Serbia is clear that these are the same sort of arrangements for nationals voting abroad as the arrangements that will be made in London and elsewhere for US Democrats and Republicans voting in November. - Owen Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:37:53 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080416878/Views-and-Analysis/Serb-elections-again-an-international-problem.html#comment-1335 Yugoslavia was not Serbia. Serbia is not Yugoslavia. The New Yugoslav Constitution in 1974 gave to Kosova the autonomy from Serbia. “Following serious rioting by Kosovars in 1968 (and with the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia pushing Albania and Yugoslavia toward greater cooperation), Tito increased federal funding to Kosova. In 1974, a new Yugoslav constitution gave the Kosovo provincial assembly the right to elect its own representatives to the Chamber of Republics and Provinces of the Yugoslav federal legislature”. All 6 Republics of the Federate of Yugoslavia recognized this new Status of Kosova. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/62/094.html On July 5, 1990, the Serbian parliament (Illegally and Unilaterally) abolished Kosova's political autonomy and dissolved its provincial assembly and government. The only Albanian-language daily newspaper, Rilindja, was banned, as were all TV and radio broadcasts in Albanian. The UN Resolution 1244 does not give any right to Serbia over the Kosova. http://www.nato.int/kosovo/docu/u990610a.htm In the contrary point Nr10, and point Nr5 of the Annex Nr 2, gave to Kosova “Substantial autonomy within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and which will provide transitional administration while establishing and overseeing the development of provisional democratic self-governing institutions to ensure conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosovo”. That means Recognized the Status given to Kosova by constitution of Federal Yugoslavia on 1974. “In 1974, a new Yugoslav constitution gave the Kosovo provincial assembly the right to elect its own representatives to the Chamber of Republics and Provinces of the Yugoslav federal legislature”. I can’t comprehend how a minority of 7% of the population, pretend to take off the land, the language, culture and the life of the rest of Kosova. Kosovars have the right to live free and independent in their land where they are born, generation after generation, live and will die. http://www.gendercide.org/case_kosovo.html Serbia has nothing to do anymore with Yugoslavia and Kosova. So Serbs elections is only their Internal Problem. To stop their interference with Kosova, just swap British forces with France forces and keep an aye to Mr. Veton Surroi. He failed to tell NATO and EU what I'm telling you today, and become rich, very rich. - bluerose799 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:43:39 +0100
