The people of Kosovo voted in elections for the first time since their independence from Serbia a year ago. Hashim Thaci, the Prime Minister, has claimed a "convincing" victory, but official election results won't be in for a few hours. It is thought that the voting turnout was approximately 45%, with more Serbs voting than expected. An announcement is expected on Monday to determine if the vote met international standards. If it is considered to be free and fair voting, it may give Kosovo more recognition in the international community. So far 63 of the 192 members of the United Nations recognize Kosovo as an independent country.
