Kosovo Ex-Fighters Declare Victory In General Election

A coalition of former ethnic Albanian rebel commanders has won the most votes in Kosovo's general election, but lacks an outright majority to form a government.

The alliance, dubbed the "war wing" by Kosovo's media and led by the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) of President Hashim Thaci, won 35.78 percent of votes, based on a count of nearly 70 percent of ballots.
