| [Nettime-bold] election time in kosovo |
Life in Kosovo http://www.thesite.org.uk/action/life_in_kosovo_3.html by brett jones Brett Jones is 27 and works for the OSCE helping to organise elections. Here, she reports from Kosovo as people deal with life after war. Wednesday 27 September 2000 The Yugoslav elections were surprisingly good fun. Myself and another young Brit called Julian (coincidentally from the same part of London) travelled to a polling station in an OSCE land rover with two French K-For for protection. The French were hilarious. They brought lots of chocolate and cheese to snack on, and even convinced their commander to bring us all croissants from base. They basically thought the entire exercise was a great chance to lounge around in the sun. The polling station (read: local bar) had the atmosphere of a village social gathering, with men lounging around drinking beer, grannies sitting on the stone walls trading gossip and Julian and myself sitting with our feet up on the dashboard of the car, eating chocolate and checking out his CDs. Hardly a threatening day at work.
