Good map. Looks like a landslide to me, but CESID says 45.5% of voters voted, 4.5% short of the required number. You need to address this with CESID.

Fuzzy math seems to be a factor here. Perhaps CESID is counting Albanians eligible to vote as part of the deal! That would be interesting.

Another interesting thing is: look where Labus won. Very telling indeed.

From B92 today:


Kostunica party claims election success | 21:33 | Beta

BELGRADE -- Monday – A senior official of the Democratic party of Serbia claimed tonight that the party did not accept the failure of the second round of the Serbian presidential elections.

Nebojsa Bakarec claimed that the party, which is led by presidential front runner Vojislav Kostunica, had evidence that the voter turnout had been over the critical fifty per cent mark.

Bakarec made his sensational announcement at today’s meeting of the Serbian Election Commission, saying that if the commission’s final result was that the election had failed, his party would lodge an appeal.

“We will submit an objection because we are in possession of proof that the presidential elections were successful,” he told the commission.

In a statement released after the meeting, the party claimed that, based on data obtained from the City of Belgrade, there were more than 124,000 names of non-existent voters on electoral rolls for Belgrade alone.

“The most drastic example is the Belgrade district of Vracar, which has 4,300 more voters than residents which, when minors are taken into account, means 12,900 false voter registrations,” claimed the party.

When this figure is statistically extrapolated, claimed the Democratic Party of Serbia, it can be presumed that the total number of illegitimately registered voters in Serbia is more than 630,000.

The stripping of these names from the rolls would mean that more than fifty per cent of valid registered voters had voted in yesterday’s second round, and this would validate the election, securing victory for the party’s leader, Vojislav Kostunica.

Yup, Sandzak Muslims and Magyars

The "domestic foreigners" and their block vote.

Now imagine 2 million Albanians

About one million are not citizens, and of the other million only about 2/3 are old enough to vote, so 650,000 votes max.

Out of 6.5 million eligible voters in Serbia, that's not such as terribly strong block vote.

What is noteworthy is that "domestic foreigners" do vote as a block, which means that the issues are not the deciding factor, but rather who is perceived as "less of a Serb." Obviously, economics do not play a significant factor either -- the Magyars live relatively well compared to the rashka's "Bosniaks," so they come fromt wo different economic ends of a spectrum, yet they vote along the same lines.

BTW, Labus is a Jew, or at least his family used to be. I am curious when will the model democracies of the West, especially the US, nominate a Jew for their head of state? So much for Serb "intolerance."

Seems to me that the Albanians in Presevo and Bujanovac boycotted since Kostunica took those as well

Yes they did. That's their call.

Half the Ustashe were married to Jews, or were Jewish by blood themselves

That's a new one, but what's that got to do with my question?

I thought Heyderich "evacuated" all the Jews from that area? You mean to say that he missed a few?
