Quote:
The United States criticized the Serb boycott.
"The United States deeply regrets the decision of Kosovo Serbs, encouraged by the government of Serbia, not to participate in these elections. Kosovo's Serb community can only be disadvantaged by this decision," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

Hear, hear! What's the percentage of elligible voters in America, who actually participate in elections? Why don't they learn from the rest of the world, that doesn't care if the majority of Americans don't go to the polls?
And anyway, if Serbs had voted then it would have been time to criticize them for voting against the break-up of their own country. Either way America would have made it a case to open its big mouth.
