Kosovo

The people of Kosovo go to vote today in an election whose outcome is the most uncertain in the history of the country’s independence.

At least three people are reported dead following an explosion at the Kosovo A power station just outside Pristina on Friday.

Serbian experts will examine the site of another suspected mass grave near the town of Raska, where the bodies of 37 Kosovo Albanians killed during wartime have already been found.

After days of uncertainty, the Srpska Lista has opted at the 11th hour to take part in the election campaign.

While voters have a range of parties to choose from on June 8, the ideological differences between most of them appear slim.

Kosovo may be gearing up for polls on June 8, but there is no sign of election activity in the northern, Serbian half of the town of Mitrovica.

After Serb leaders in northern Kosovo said they were quitting election-related activities in a dispute over ballots, Serbia’s Prime Minister has said that Kosovo Serbs should vote in the election. 

At least 900 housing units are to be built over the next three years for the most vulnerable refugees, mostly Roma displaced from Kosovo in the war of the late 1990s.

Kosovo leaders will be competing aggressively for votes in the last few days of the election campaign, partly because the outcome is unusually unpredictable.

Serbs in Kosovo should not boycott June 8 general elections because a boycott will not solve any of their problems, a debate on Friday in the Serb-run northern part of Mitrovica heard.
