Text of report by Kosovo Albanian television KohaVision TV on 18 October

[Announcer] Good evening! This is your opportunity to decide who is going to represent you best in the years to come, this is the essence of freedom and democracy, said US chief of mission in Prishtina [Pristina] Philip Goldberg in his message to the Kosova [Kosovo] people.

[Philip Goldberg speaking in English with superimposed Albanian translation] Your elections this week are an important part of transforming Kosova into a democratic, tolerant and prosperous society. These elections are especially important because the people you elect will play an important role in defining your future. This is your opportunity to decide who will represent you best in the years to come. This is the essence of freedom. Because of this it is critical that you come out and vote. Participate in the democratic process that will take Kosova forward.
