PRISTINA (Serbia-Montenegro): Kosovo's President, Ibrahim Rugova, has declared victory in a general election marred by a Serb boycott and unlikely to change the tense province's political landscape. Saturday's elections, overshadowed by the refusal of the vast majority of Serbs to vote in ethnic-Albanian-dominated Kosovo, dealt a blow to international efforts to forge a multiethnic society there. Serb leaders in Kosovo and Serbia proper had called the boycott, saying the United Nations and NATO have failed to create an environment where Serbs could live safely. Final official results were expected a week later. But Mr. Rugova claimed on Sunday that his Democratic League of Kosovo party had garnered more than 50 per cent of the vote, retaining its position as the main party. Kosovo's ethnic Albanians — who make up 90 per cent of Kosovo's 2 million people — viewed the elections as a means to further their goal of securing independence. — AP
