Kosovo elects leader of an ex-guerilla outfit, hoping for independence
As time progresses, it is becoming abundantly clear that the international community can no longer afford to vacillate over the fate of Kosovo (the predominantly ethnic Albanian former province of Serbia, currently under the UN rule & NATO protection since 1999). The recently announced elections results coming from Kosovo – the victory of Hashim Thaci’s, pro-independence, Democratic Party (PDK) clearly point that the idea of independence is fast moving from being probable to imminently sure.
The PDK party, born out of the remains of a
rebel outfit Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), had launched an armed rebellion in 1998, leading to disruption of peace in the war-torn Serbia. Now that the PDK has secured more than 35% of the popular vote, the mood in the party camp is jubilant & expectant. The leader of the winning party, Hashim Thaci has proudly announced, “With our victory today begins the new century. We showed that Kosovo is ready to move forward towards freedom and independence.” The cause of worry is that the PDK has vowed to declare independence by 10th December this year. A deadline, which is difficult to achieve because of the ongoing negotiations in the United Nations on the future of Kosovo & of course, the hard stance adopted by both Serbia & Russia on the question of freeing Kosovo. The problem gets accentuated by the fact that only half the electorate of some 1.5 million participated in the elections (The 120,000-strong Serb minority, boycotted the elections), which have catapulted Hashim Thaci to new political heights.
As things stand today, one can hardly be sanguine about the future of Kosovo, in fact, the chances of bloodbath between Albanians & Serbians is only increasing with every passing day. Kosovo is caught in the vicious global political game between big players .
