  • Story Text: Conservative, Edmund Stoiber continues his campaign to
    win power in Germany, taking his case for voter support to the
    German military camp at Prizren in Yugoslavia on Wednesday.



    European financial market players want conservative
    Edmund Stoiber to win Germany's September election and expect
    the euro to strengthen and German share prices to rise if he
    does, according to a Reuters poll.

    Investment fund managers, equity analysts and bank
    economists said a conservative victory over Chancellor Gerhard
    Schroeder's Social Democrats would lead to stronger economic
    growth and more effective reforms of Germany's job market.

    The conservatives lead the Social Democrats in opinion
    polls which indicate the most likely outcome of the September
    22 election will be a coalition of conservatives and liberal
    Free Democrats, ousting the alliance of Social Democrats and
    Greens.

    But Stoiber, on a two day visit to Kosovo, is taking
    nothing for granted, canvassing support wherever there is a
    potential German vote to be had, even in the military base at
    Prizren.

    On Thursday he is scheduled to visit local churches and a
    mosque in Prizren, where the Germans are headquartered as part
    of the UN's multi national brigades south, before flying back
    to Pristina for meetings with the Kosovan president and the UN
    administrator for Kosovo.
