Paki Elections & Kosovar Independence

There are a couple of momentus (at least from a foreign affairs POV) events underway in distant regions of the world. Elections in Pakistan, and independence in the former Serbian province of Kosovo - now governed by majority ethnic Albanians.

Paki elections are important, everybody understands that. The Author covered the recent state of emergency in the country, as well as the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. So if you're looking for the latest information on today's polls, with up-to-date results of the voting, you might try the country's largest English language daily, DAWN's blog, or Karachi.com for an insider's perspective. The other, logical choice for coverage is Al Jazeera's website.

While at Al Jazeera's site, you can shift gears and read the latest on Kosovar independence. The Turkish Daily News has a worthy report, and Germany's Der Spiegel has two great articles, here and here.
