afraid this is again the file. catch your eyes are about our team boss. kosovo is holding its first parliamentary poll nearly three years after the self-proclaimed states but from serbia alice habert is following the vote in the capital pristina. this region does still remain very deeply divided along ethnic lines most notably between the majority albanian community here that makes up some ninety percent of the population and the much smaller minority community here it is expected that some fifty percent of the electorate who turn out to vote today but the vast majority of them will be albanians serbians here feel divided they do want to vote to make a change they say they suffered discrimination high unemployment they're denied freedom of movement and they suffer very different conditions but they don't necessarily want to engage in the cost of an electoral system here but they do want
9:06 am
to make a real change here so what we expect is that those living in the north of kosovo and you still very much look to belgrade on a still connected to serbia by road will not take part in these elections they will heed belgrade circle to boycott this vote however those living in the southern enclaves and therefore geographically consul from serbia will take part in the votes because they have no choice but to engage in the system here well of course ethnic divisions are not the only issues facing. unemployment here is rampant some put it between forty and fifty percent and then there course there is the issue of endemic corruption here these are all issues included in the manifesto the major policies here and leading the charge an expected to take the most votes in today's election is a prime minister has been touchy democratic party of kossovo e.p.d. k.
9:07 am
and then followed by the former. coalition partners the democratic league of cost of a the l d k and then there's the alliance for the future of course very traditionally seen as the third party here but all of these parties talk about addressing these issues within the framework of what they perceive as the ultimate goal which is e.u. and nato membership. recent polls are showing that cost of ins in particular especially compared with others living throughout the balkans have suffered a drastic loss of faith in all public institutions here from the judiciary to the parliament and that's all but held by the current to this itself that was put forward for this election a number of days into this while standing currently under investigation suspected of a number of crimes ranging from corruption to abuse of office and most warranty of all the lead to all of the a k. how to deny is currently in the hague awaiting trial for war crimes how's the meant
9:08 am
is that this election has seen the emergence of some new policies here with the potential of making some real inroads most notably. meaning self-determination and fed of meaning new spirit that both expected to take some votes today and these new of policies have shied away from mentioning nato and the membership as a serious goal they've instead really decided to focus on the bread and butter issues affecting people's everyday lives here. serbia's minister for cost of all told r.t. about reconciliation between areas albanians and serbs is unlikely to happen. lists contain people who unfortunately were under trial or participated in criminal actions or committed crimes in the late ninety's against the serbian community on the territory of course will and middle here if we really want to move towards reconciliation of serbs and albanians what kind of kinds and such people in the future in conversations with state officials we emphasize that is
9:09 am
a black hole that is crime in the spheres of money laundering and human drugs and arms trafficking and it's no secret all the international organizations working there know about it our viewpoint is absolutely clear we will never recognize courcelles independence but we are ready to discuss the issues problematic for both ethnic communities in this particular case serbs and albanians in the current situation obedience have received all they demanded but on the other hand serbs of course all the hard salute the unacceptable. serbia's minister for kosovo of which there speaking to us here in our well coming out soon one of humanity's biggest killer could be claiming many more lives doctors think from india and new research which says malaria is claiming tens of thousands of more lives. just ahead . british police have launched a major criminal investigation into thursday student protests which were the worst
