Spreading misinformation about Kosovo was once again used as part of election strategy in Serbia

Language pair : English > FrenchArea : Ethnicity and race
Type of document : News articleVolume : 1553 words
It has now become customary that in every election held in Serbia there’s an increase in the nationalist discourse of political leaders there regarding Kosovo. Politicians on the left and right, in power and in opposition, compete over who is tougher in relation to policies they would pursue towards Kosovo if they won the elections. The same thing happened during the last campaign for the Serbian general parliamentary and presidential elections that were held on April 3.

Since its declaration of independence in 2008, an unacceptable practice had been established in Kosovo that every Serbian election was held in Kosovo, as well. Until this year, such elections were administered by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Briefly: an independent country (Serbia) organized elections completely unhindered in another, also independent, country (Kosovo).
C’est désormais devenu une habitude qu’à chaque élection en Serbie, le discours politique de la part des dirigeants concernant le Kosovo augmente. Les politiciens de gauche et de droite, du pouvoir et dans l’opposition, s’affrontent pour savoir qui sera le plus dur sur les politiques qui seraient menées à l’égard du Kosovo s’ils gagnaient les élections. La même situation s’est reproduite lors de la dernière campagne pour les élections législatives et les élections présidentielles serbes qui ont eu lieu le 3 avril dernier.

Depuis sa déclaration de l’indépendance en 2008, une habitude inacceptable a été établie au Kosovo visant à ce que toutes les élections serbes se déroulent également au Kosovo. Jusqu’à cette année, de telles élections étaient administrées par l’Organisation pour la Sécurité et la Coopération en Europe (OSCE). En bref: un pays indépendant (la Serbie) a organisé des élections de manière complètement libre dans un autre pays, lui aussi indépendant (le Kosovo).
