Introduction
At its meeting of 17 October 2007, the Conference of Presidents decided to authorise the
sending of a seven-member election observation delegation to observe the legislative
elections in Kosovo of 17 November 2007.
According to the D'Hondt system, the distribution of seats was decided as follows:
- 3 seats to the EPP-ED,
- 2 seats to the PES,
- 1 seat to the Greens/ALE and
- 1 seat to the ITS.
The EPP-ED appointed Mrs Doris Pack and Mr Marian-Jean Marinescu. It also decided
to ceade 1 seat to the PES Group. Mr Marinescu then withdrew from the delegation,
whilst the seat attributed to the PES Group was taken by Mr Hannes Swoboda.
The PES Group appointed Mr Csaba Tabajdi and Mr Göran Färm. The Greens/ALE
appointed Mrs Gisela Kallenbach. The ITS Group appointed Mr Andreas Mölzer. Mr
Mölzer then withdrew from the delegation, and his Group decided to ceade 1 seat to
the UEN Group. This seat was taken by Mr Ryszard Czarnecki.
The final composition of the Delegation was therefore: Ms Doris Pack - PPE-DE, Mr
Hannes Swoboda - PES, Mr Csaba Tabajdi - PES, Mr Göran Färm - PES, Mr Ryszard
Czarnecki - UEN, Ms Gisela Kallenbach - Verts/ALE.
At the constituent meeting of the delegation, Ms Doris Pack was elected Chairperson of
the delegation and Mr Hannes Swoboda was appointed Vice-Chair.
At the same meeting the deployment of the mission was decided upon. Members
exchanged views on the programme and on the political situation in Kosovo and heared
briefings of the European Commission (Mr Kaldoun Sinno) and of the General
Secretariat of the Council (Mr Stefan Tressing and Mrs Anna Maria Boura). With regard
to deployment, it was decided that the delegation would split in five teams that would go
to Pristina, Prizren, Peja/Pec, Ferizaj/Urosevac-Gjilane, Novo Brdo and Strepsa, and
Mitrovica North and South.
Political Background
The elections in Kosovo were a sensitive subject in the light of the future status issue.
Ongoing talks between the Serbs and Kosovo are contentious and have thrown a spotlight
on the region.
Following the war, Kosovo remains a disputed province and an international security and
civil presence remains on the ground. After the rejection of the Ahtisaari plan which
aimed to set Kosovo on a path to independence, talks between the two parties continued
2
on the status, assisted by the Contact Group (US, UK, France, Italy, Germany and
Russia). However Belgrade and Pristina remain polarised in their demands and there
appears little opportunity of bridging the gap between them due to the fact that neither is
ready to cede their principle demands. The Kosovar Albanians will not accept anything
less than full independence, whilst the Serbs will simply not agree to this.
The Kosovar Albanians had made clear their determination to resolve the final status
issue by 10 December 2007, which was the deadline for the Contact Group-led talks,
even if this would mean a unilateral declaration of independence. This ongoing status
question somewhat overshadowed the election process although there was an agreement
between the Kosovar political entities not to let it dominate the electoral campaign. This
was the fifth election organised in Kosovo since the 1999 war and provided a good
opportunity for the local authorities to prove that they could run credible elections,
although there was substantial aid provided by the OSCE.
The legislative elections were intended to fill up 100 seats in the unicameral assembly,
which actually consists of 120 members. Twenty seats are reserved for ethnic minorities.
The system of set-aside seats was introduced in 2001 to ensure representation of smaller
communities in the Assembly. The set-aside seats are allocated as follows: ten seats are
reserved for the Kosovo Serb community in proportion to the number of votes parties
receive in the election. The remaining ten seats are divided amongst Roma, Ashkali and
Egyptian (4), the Bosnian (3), the Turkish (2) and the Gorani community (1).
Previous elections had being regarded by international observers as largely credible and
democratic, although there had been continual concerns regarding the lack of
participation by the Serbian minority. Voter participation was on the whole regarded as a
problem as repeatedly low voter turn-out was regarded as a sign of voter dissatisfaction
towards the political class.
For the first time this election was conducted on an open list system. It was believed that
instituting an electoral system with open lists would encourage political parties to
nominate new, often popular figures to stand in the elections. It would enable voters to
directly choose not only the party, but also the candidates from a party list. There was a
belief that this new system would prove to be more democratic as it would encourage
greater links between the candidates and the citizens.
Although this was the fifth election to take place since the war, the organisation of the
election was shared between the OSCE and the Central Election Committee (CEC), with
the OSCE retaining responsibility for more sensitive areas including political party
registration and the management of the voters list. The CEC is responsible for the
conduct of elections in Kosovo. It regulates the electoral process by adopting Electoral
Rules and supervising all aspects of the process to ensure that the elections meet
international standards.
3
In total 26 parties and political entities submitted lists for the legislative elections, of
which 8 were Serbian. It was however unclear just what attitude Serbian minorities would
take regarding the elections and whether or not they would boycott it as they did in 2004.
The UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) reported that Serbian
officials had been discouraging Serbian minorities from voting and reports on the ground
suggested that Serbian local authorities had been obstructing the organisation of the
election through such measures as not allowing schools and other public buildings to be
used as voting stations. Some of the Serbian political entities expressed their desire to
withdraw their names from the ballot due to pressure. This included threats of financial
sanctions and in some cases this reportedly went as far as physical intimidation. Belgrade
had issued a call for the Serbian minorities to boycott the election.
The European Parliament was the main Parliamentary body observing these elections
along with the Council of Europe Head of Mission and a delegation of the Council of
Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. The legislative elections were held
at the same time as elections for Municipal Assemblies and Mayors.
Programme of the Delegation
Friday, 16 November
Meetings with representatives of EU institutions:
- Mr Renzo Daviddi, Head of the European Commission Liaison Office to
Kosovo
- Ms Karin Limdal, Public Information Advisor, Planning Team for the EU
Rule of Law Mission
- Mr Jonas Jonsson, Head of the Preparation Team of the International
Civilian Office
Mr Renzo Daviddi welcomed the European Parliament delegation and invited the
representatives of the EU Planning Team and Preparation Team of the ICO to brief the
members on the state of play of the EU presence in Kosovo.
Ms Limdal stated that despite political uncertainties, the preparation for the ESDP
Mission had continued and was now entering its final stages. Mr Casper Klynge had been
appointed on 2 May 2006 by the Political and Security Council as head of mission. The
mission would be involved in three areas, namely: justice, police and customs. It would
have a mandate of two years. The main objective of the mission is to promote local
ownership and retain limited executive and correctional powers in the following areas:
inter-ethnic crime, war crimes, terrorism, corruption, organized crime, financial crimes
and property issues. Concerning human resources, the mission will be working with 1800
international staff and about 1000 local staff.

Mr Jonas Jonsson stressed that the ICO was ready to take over its responsibilities.
The ICO-EUSR Preparation Team was planning a possible future international civilian
presence in Kosovo after a status settlement, with a view to overseeing the
implementation of an anticipated status settlement. The Preparation Team was also
involved, in close cooperation with the transitional administration of the United Nations
(UNMIK) and the Kosovo authorities, in preparing those authorities for the new
responsibilities that would fall upon them following a settlement.
Mr Renzo Daviddi added that there might be problems in accepting a strong international
presence with considerable executive powers, once the status is settled. At the same time,
Mr Daviddi underlined that the urgency of resolving the question of the status was
evident, not only from a political point of view, but also from an economic perspective.
The economic development of Kosovo is directly linked with the status situation.
Meeting with Heads of EU Member States Offices
Permanent Representatives from Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy,
Slovenia, Romania and the United Kingdom welcomed the delegation of the European
Parliament to Kosovo and exchanged views with regard to the electoral process, the
status negotiations, the situation of minorities in Kosovo and the EU involvement in the
area. During the meeting the following conclusions were drawn:
• EU reaction after 10 December:
After the 10th of December, pending the result of negotiations, it was important
that the EU shows consensus and speaks with one voice. The EU needs to be
prepared for both a status settlement and a prolongation of talks.
• Elections:
Regret was expressed by several representatives of the Member States regarding
the lack of involvement of the Serbian community in these elections. It was
emphasized that this is a problem that needs to be particularly looked at following
the status settlement in the sense that ways and means need to be identified for the
integration of the Serbian minority (and also other minorities) into the Kosovo
society. The EU could have an important contribution in resolving this issue.
• EU contribution to the region:
The developments in the Western Balkans are of direct interest to the EU, as this
is a European region where European values need to be implemented. Following
the status settlement, the EU will have the opportunity to play an active role in
Kosovo, with the general objective of engaging Kosovo on the path to European
integration.

Briefings by the Council of Europe Election Observation Mission to Kosovo
- Mr Giovanni Di Stasi, Head of Mission
- Mr Franck Daeschler, Deputy Head of Mission
- Mr Frederick Blanck, Field Operations Director
- Mr Franck Balme, Observation Co-coordinator
- Mr Patrice Chanuel, Logistics and Security Officer
Mr Giovanni Di Stasi informed the Members that the mission he was leading had been
operational in Pristina since 1 October 2007. The mandate of the mission is to observe:
the registration and certification of the political entities, the election preparations, the
electoral campaign, the polling and counting on Election Day and the processing and
proclamation of results (including conditional ballots and by-mail voting for out-of-
Kosovo voters). Mr Di Stasi explained that the mission was composed of a core team of 9
experts, 14 long term observers and 150 short term observers. The Head of mission
expressed his contentment that the delegation of the European Parliament would work
within the framework of the Mission and accepted the issuing of a joint press statement
together with the CoE Mission and the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, on
the 18th of November.
Mr Franck Daeschler underlined that the elections would be held in a rather complex and
tense socio-political environment. The delays in the status settlement and the ongoing
negotiations were a source of uncertainty and rumors. During the campaign, the first
concern of Kosovo Albanian political leaders remained the status. As a personal
comment, Mr. Daeschler noted that cultural, social and economic issues seemed to take
the second place while the population of Kosovo was more concerned about them. At the
same time, Mr Daeschler added, the Belgrade authorities had clearly indicated their
desire that the Kosovo Serbs political entities, as well as the Kosovo Serbs voters, do not
participate in the elections, not even at the municipal level.
Concerning the turnout, for the previous elections a decrease from 64% (2001 elections)
to 53% (2004) had been registered. This trend could continue because of the non
participation of the Serbs, as well as because of the disappointment of the population with
the political class. On the other hand, Mr Daeschler added, for the first time there would
be three different types of elections with open lists which might attract more voters. The
final turnout was however expected to be under 50%.
The experts of the Mission briefed also the Members on different technical and logistical
aspects with regard to the Election Day.
Meeting with the United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative, Head
of UNMIK, Mr Joachim Rücker
Mr Rücker explained that, although the political situation looked calm on the whole,
there was tension underneath this serene surface. People were generally disappointed
6
with their political leaders and this erosion of the credibility and trust would be reflected
by a possible lower turnout. The Special Representative stated that the fact that the
election process was parallel to the status negotiations would not produce any
unnecessary interference.
Mr Rücker expressed his disappointment with the threats and intimidations of Belgrade
over the Serbian community of Kosovo. UNMIK had called for all communities to
participate in these elections. However in case of non-compliance, UNMIK could not
oblige them (by using force or other constraints) to take part in the process.
With regard to the status settlement and possible new pre-term elections, Mr Rücker
noted that as elections for municipalities and mayors were organized every two years,
there might not be any need for early elections in this case. However pre-term elections
could be envisaged for Kosovo Parliamentary Assembly.
Meeting with President Fatmir Sejdiu
President Fatmir Sejdiu welcomed the European Parliament delegation. The President
mentioned that good preparations had been made for these elections which represented
the 5th electoral process since the end of war. These elections were the first ones that
presented open lists, in parallel with direct elections of mayors and a political threshold
(5%). President Sejdiu explained the state of play with regard to the Serbian community.
About 33 entities had been identified to run in the elections; however 7 political parties
had asked to withdraw because of the political pressure from Belgrade. President Sejdiu
mentioned that he had addressed the Serbian community calling them to take part in these
elections. The President expressed his hopes for a good turnout during the Election Day.
Mr Hannes Swoboda mentioned the support that the European Parliament has
continuously shown for the status settlement and made specific reference to the recently
adopted resolution. At the same time Mr Swoboda explained that the European
Parliament would respect the will of majority with a special care of the needs and
expectations of the minorities. Mr Swoboda underlined that the EU wanted prosperity for
Kosovo and peace and stability for the region.
Meeting with representatives of some political parties running in the Parliamentary
elections
- Mr Beghet Pacolli, President of AKR
- Mr Lulzim Zeneli, Secretary General, LDD
- Mr Rame Manaj, Secretary General, LDK
Mr Beghet Pacolli, AKR, a newcomer on the political scene, mentioned that his party had
been founded almost one year before. For the ongoing elections, his party was competing
in all municipalities. The party’s programme was called “Project for Kosovo” and
7
contained references for a cleaner Parliament and a functional Government. Mr Pacolli
accused the LDK of launching constant attacks against his party during the electoral
campaign.
Mr Lulzim Zeneli, LDD, underlined that he was representing a new political entity with
experienced politicians, having the broad objective of becoming a strong political force in
Kosovo.
The approach of LDD during the electoral campaign was very practical and the overall
assessment of the campaign was very positive. The political platform had been presented
to the citizens, one of the main targets being that of resolving the energy crisis. During its
campaign, LDD had not touched upon any other political entity. Mr Zeneli concluded
that LDD hoped to have wide support amongst the population.
Mr Rame Manaj, LDK, stressed that his party was participating in this elections in order
to prove that democracy was functional in Kosovo. LDK had a very intensive campaign
all over Kosovo. Overall, Mr Manaj added, the campaign was peaceful and democratic.
However, he mentioned that it was difficult to estimate the political landscape in the
aftermath of the electoral process. Mr Manaj stated that LDK had a realistic programme,
with different objectives, one of the most important being that of providing substantial
economic growth (7-9%) in the immediate future. Mr Manaj expressed his perception
that the trust in the state institutions was increasing and that the belief in democracy was
rising.
Meeting with NGOs
- Mr Lulzim Peci, KIPRED (election monitoring)
- Mr Agim Zogiani, COHU (Organisation for Democracy, Anti-Corruption
and Dignity)
KIPRED is one of the NGOs comprised in the wide coalition formed on 19 October
2007, called “Democracy in Action”. The coalition had as elections-related activities the
following: (i) a campaign to encourage voter participation, (ii) election observation, (iii)
parallel vote tabulation. With regard to voter participation, the coalition had sponsored a
television and print campaign in order to increase the turnout during the Election Day.
Particular emphasis had been placed on the ability of the Kosovo voter to choose
candidates from the list provided by the political entity of their choice, as well as on the
election of the mayors. Concerning election observation, throughout the election period
the activities were focused on campaign, media and municipal election commissions. For
the Election Day the coalition would have over 600 observers to monitor the procedures
in polling centers across Kosovo. With the close of polls at 19h00, over 2,400 observers
would be deployed to follow the counting procedures. The observers would prepare
specific reports regarding the counting process and on any issues and problems that could
arise. The coalition was also prepared to work out parallel vote tabulation.
8
COHU represents the coalition of civil society movements and NGOs which participate
in the “Civil Society for a Clean Parliament ” initiative. The project aims to research the
background of candidates in the parliamentary elections. Reports had been produced on
each candidate concerning allegations of corruption, involvement in organized crime,
ethical breaches and nepotism. This represented one of the first efforts to compile an
overview of candidates’ suitability for office. Mr Zogiani informed the MEPs that in a
press release issued on 6 November, COHU had expressed its concerns with regard to
certain candidates. Mr Zogiani named amongst the sponsors of COHU the Soros
Foundation and the Helsinki Committee.
Saturday, 17 November, Election Day
During the Election Day the delegation split into five teams and observed the opening,
voting and counting procedures in Pristina, Pec, Mitrovica North and South, Prizren and
Gjilane. In total the delegation visited around 50 polling stations during the Election Day.
The voting day started generally on time, slight delays were noted in two of the polling
stations visited in Pristina. The voting materials (ballots, ballot boxes, ink, stamp, voter
register, protocols, UV lamp) were present in all polling stations visited. The polling staff
was familiar with the opening procedures.
During the Election Day, the delegation noted a calm atmosphere in all the areas visited.
The election procedures were applied professionally by the polling station committees.
Voters seemed to understand the voting procedures. The delegation witnessed however a
few cases of family voting. Conditional ballot voting did not pose problems to either the
polling staff or voters.
The secrecy of voting was ensured in all polling stations. There was no attempt to
influence the voters’ choice and no cases of intimidation were reported. The voting
process was transparent; the members of the delegation were welcomed in all the polling
stations. Moreover, domestic observers and party agents were present in all the polling
stations.
The delegation observed the counting procedures for the Kosovo Assembly in several
polling stations in Pristina. The procedures were followed correctly. No issue that would
cast doubt over the results was noted. All problems were overcome and overall the
assessment of delegation was positive.
Mitrovica North and Serbian enclaves – report on the Election Day
The delegation visited several areas were Serbian population was supposed to cast its
vote. The delegation reported a general boycott of the Serbian community for all three
elections. In Svinjare, for example, which is a Serbian village within Mitrovica South, the
Local Community Office was supposed to be hosting a polling station during the Election
9
Day. No polling staff agent was present, no election material either. Actually the Local
Community Office was closed.
The team deployed to Mitrovica North visited a polling station in the city, where the
polling staff was present, but no voter cast their vote during the day. The team also
visited a “mobile” polling station organized by the OSCE in a truck; however until 15h00
only one voter had cast his vote (who was also candidate on the list).
In other Serbian villages in the Albanian-majority areas of Kosovo, the delegation noted a
certain participation (up to 10% in Gorazdevac) of the Serbian community.
Sunday, 18 November
The delegation met for a debriefing on Sunday morning. The conclusions of the
delegation were included in the preliminary statement of the long term mission. The
document is attached to this report (Annex D).
The chair of the delegation took part in the discussions linked to the drafting of the
preliminary statement and in the joint press conference of the International Election
Observation Mission. The press release is also attached to this report (Annex C).
Conclusions
The delegation together with the Council of Europe mission and the Congress of Local
Regional Authorities concluded that, in general, both the elections and the electoral
process were conducted in line with European and international standards for democratic
elections.
The delegation considered it regrettable that voters from the Kosovo Serb Community
had followed appeals from Belgrade and Kosovo Serb leaders not to participate in the
elections. The delegation congratulated the Serb voters who did turn out for the polls and
praised their courage for doing so.
The European Parliament delegation was alarmed by the low overall turn-out which
reflected the population’s disappointment
for the performance of their elected
representatives and the uncertainty regarding their future.
The delegation urged all parties and political leaders to respect the results of the
elections. In order to regain the trust of their electorate and to give a European
perspective to Kosovo, elected politicians should vigorously fight corruption and give
priority to enhancing the social and economic situation of all communities living in
Kosovo.
