Moscow regards the parliamentary elections in Kosovo as illegal, Alexei Sazonov, deputy director of the information and press department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said in Moscow.

“We do not regard as legal the elections for the Kosovo Assembly because they were organized by the authorities of the self-proclaimed republic,” Sazonov explained.

According to Sazonov, the success achieved at the elections by the extremely radical political parties of Kosovo Albanians evokes concern.

The winner of the election is Hashim Thaci who was recently named as a mafia boss behind gruesome organ extractions of kidnapped Serbs.

Sazonov also said that observers registered a number of serious irregularities during the elections.

In some areas in Kosovo more votes were cast then there is people.

The international organizations avoided the certification of the elections, in which the Serbs living in Kosovo played too small a role, Sazonov said.

Aside from it, machinations with the lists of electors, the use of forged ballot papers and the casting of ballots several times by the same persons were registered, Sazonov is quoted by Itar-Tass.
