"The Serb government hasn't survived Kosovo's independence," Andrej Ivanji writes. He doubts whether the pro-Western contingent will be successful in the elections. "President Boris Tadic's advisers are mainly excellent marketing experts, but whether they will be able to turn the tables in Tadic's favour in the election campaign is questionable. So far Tadic has played along with deep conviction in the patriotic game about preserving Kosovo. Now he will have to resort to radical populist measures and somehow convince voters that Serbia's joining the EU would not be tantamount to a tacit recognition of Kosovo's independence."
