I've been quite resentful of this man's political carreer from early on. First and foremost, he doesn't have just any contact with the Serbs. Aside his relation with the Karic brothers, he was also a close companion of Milan Milosevic, the brother of the deceased Slobodan Milosevic. Yes, the dictator!
Milan Milosevic was the ambassador of Yugoslavia during the '90s. It was through him he got admission in Russia, being assigned to restore Kreml. According to Surroi, Pacolli was also a delegate of Milosevic '98 (or '99) when he came to Kosova, where he encouraged people to accept the offer of substantial autonomy as opposed to pursuing the goal of full freedom, whether as an integral part of Albania or as an independent state of Kosova. This Surroi declared, ironically, in an interview in ALSAT, a television owned by none other than Pacolli.
Seeing those articles, you have some quite suspicious titles;
"Kosovo Ne Moze Bez Srbije" -- "Kosova Cannot Be Without Serbia"
"Nemam Politicke Ambicije" -- "I Have No Political Ambitions"
"Moja Alijansa Ima Sire Ciljeve Od Nezavisnog Kosova" -- "My Alliance Has Bigger Goals Than The Independence of Kosova"
I cannot help but to suspect the true ambitions of Pacolli. His intimate closness with Serbian authorities in combination with the accumulation of great wealth, being a part of bribery scandals etc., do not seem like a desirable past for a politician. Some people have gone so far as to suspect him of being a spy. I do not know if that's an exaggeration. Nevertheless, there are reasons to be cautious. And even if not a 'friend' (puppet) of the Serbs as these articles would seem to suggest, his immense wealth do not seem appropriate for a leading politician. Who is to stop him from, after being elected, tightening his control over Kosova through investments in media, buying up televisions & newspapers (he already have several of those). Who is to stophim from being our own version of Silvio Berlusconi?
What's more frightening is that his party (as if we needed an additional one), AKR, has gained quite alot of votes (according to polls) which suggests it will wield quite some influence from now on. Once corrupted, always corrupted? Because there's no doubt Pacolli has been on the wrong side of the law, having bribed Jeltsin and who knows else.
