Kosovo's Election Winner Says Peace Impossible Unless Serbia Faces Its Past

Albin Kurti, the leader of Kosovo's leftist-nationalist Vetevendosje (Self-Determination) party that won a plurality of votes in parliamentary elections, said that dialogue with Serbia has to include the "recognition of Kosovo's independence." Speaking to RFE/RL on October 10 in Pristina, the country's likely future prime minister also said that unless Serbia faces its past, there would be no peace and reconciliation.
