Calm now, a storm to come?

【According to】 the Central Electoral Commission, 47.8% of the 1.6m people eligible to vote did so. That figure is deceptive, 【however】, as a large but unknown percentage of those registered to vote live and work abroad. 【So】 the fact that in most constituencies inhabited by ethnic Albanians the turnout ranged roughly from 37%-55% is credible. 【But】 turnout in Skenderaj and Gllogovc were reported as 93.68% and 86.94% respectively. These areas are heartlands of support for the PDK.
One diplomat acting as an election observer in Skenderaj yesterday said that the cheating was 【so】 blatant 【that】 no attempt had been made to cover it up. 【Another】 said that in one district with 940 registered voters, another 300 had apparently “voted”.
【As for】 Kosovo’s minority Serb areas, turnout figures were high for the southern and central enclaves of the country, 【but】 almost non-existent in the northern region which abuts Serbia. Oliver Ivanovic, a senior Serbian government official with responsibility for Kosovo, said that the Serbs of the south were drifting away from Belgrade and hence making a “terrible mistake”. Posters in Serb-inhabited north Mitrovica exhorted people not to vote for the “fake state” of Kosovo.
It is too early to tell what all this means. 【But】 if the other parties believe Mr Thaci secured his lead only through ballot-stuffing, that will make the task of forming any coalition very difficult.
