	2004 Country Report on Human Rights Practices in Ukraine
		The country is a mixed presidential and parliamentary republic governed by a directly elected president, a prime minister who heads a cabinet of ministers, and a unicameral parliament (Rada).
		The Constitution provides citizens with the right to change their government peacefully through periodic elections; however, this right was restricted during the year by the authorities, who engaged in many forms of manipulation of presidential, parliamentary, and local elections.
		Political manipulation was particularly notable in the October 31 presidential election and the November 21 runoff; however, a repeat runoff vote on December 26, which followed the Supreme Court's invalidation of the first, was judged by reputable international observers, including the OSCE, to have been a significant improvement.

		Tomislav Nikolic of the ultranationalist Serbian Radical Party won 45.1% of the vote, according to the state electoral commission.
		Tadic's Democrats were at the forefront of the 2000 uprising against Milosevic, but painful economic and political reforms in recent years led to a resurgence of nationalism and fears that the hard-liners could regain control.

	Tragedy and Farce - by Nebojsa Malic
		Elections scheduled for Oct. 23 were designed to establish the Albanian authorities as a legitimate "government" of the province, bolstering their separatist claims just in time for the conference on "final status," projected to take place next year.
		But the Empire seems determined to continue its policy of creeping amputation, effectively rewarding the perpetrators of the March pogrom and further confirming its commitment to the rule of force, rather than the rule of law.
		Before his violent ouster in 2000, Milosevic's opponents argued that "the West" would rethink its position on Kosovo if Serbia became "democratic." What they discovered afterwards is that the definition of "democratic" kept changing with ever-increasing demands from Washington, Brussels and The Hague, while the Kosovo policy changed not one bit.

	The Pointless Poll - by Nebojsa Malic
		This will be the fourth such election in two years, the previous three having failed due to bureaucratic and political obstacles.
		However, Tadic's election came too late in a game of brinkmanship with Vojislav Kostunica's Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), which resisted strong outside pressure to re-create the failed DOS alliance and turned to support from the Socialists (SPS) instead.
		Most parties on the Serbian political scene are statist, subscribe to some form of socialism or social-democracy, desire to be swallowed by the EU, preach and practice "multi-culturalism" and quotas, and have little regard for entrepreneurs, private property or individual liberty.
