Serbia To Hold Local Elections In Serbia

According to The New York Times:

Serbia said that it would extend its May 11 parliamentary and municipal elections to 16 Kosovo municipalities, including the capital, Pristina. The plan defies a United Nations warning against such a vote and ignores Kosovo’s declaration of independence. In the past, the United Nations has allowed Kosovo Serbs to vote in Serbia’s parliamentary and presidential elections, but local elections are seen as undermining international authorities because they deal directly with Kosovo’s internal municipal arrangements. There was no immediate comment from United Nations officials.

Well, of course.
