Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death.

  • Municipalities from Elections to Solutions
    History of elections History of local elections in Kosovo dates back to 2000, which marked the first elections held, followed by 5 local elections up to now (in 2002, 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2017). After the end of the war, the first elections at the local level were held on October 28, 2000, which were administered and supervised by OMIK (The OSCE Mission in Kosovo). The second local elections were held on October 26, 2002. During 2002, UNMIK’s decision had been to postpone the mandate of Municipal Assemblies until 2007. As a result, joint central and local elections were held in 2007. The third local elections were held on November 17, 2007, which marked the first local elections organized by UNMIK/OMIK with temporary self-governing institutions, before Kosovo declared its independence. Until 2007, citizens voted in closed lists for the parties that would be represented in the Municipal Assembly based on UNMIK Regulation 2000/45 (On the municipal self-governance). In this case, the municipal assembly members were elected by the Chairperson of the Assembly. Apart from exercising the duty in the Assembly, the Chairperson was also a representative of the Municipality. Whereas, the Chief Executive Officer held the executive role and was elected by the Municipal Assembly. Since 2007, the amendment of the Regulation 2000/45 with that of 2007/30 (Amendment of the regulation no. 2000/45 on self-governance of Municipalities in Kosovo), the direct election system for the two municipal bodies was implemented: the Mayor and the Municipal Assembly. This was done through two different ballots; one for the mayor and one for the municipal assembly members in open lists for candidates.
