  • Story Text: German opposition candidate Edmund Stoiber has been on
    the campaign trail at a German military camp at Prizren,
    Yugoslavia.



    Edmund Stoiber, on a two day visit to Kosovo, took
    nothing for granted in his campaign for the German
    chancellorship, canvassing support wherever there was a
    potential German vote to be had, even at the military base in
    Prizren.

    On Thursday (August 8) he visited local churches and a
    mosque in the town where the Germans are headquartered as part
    of the United Nations' multi-national mission there, before
    flying back to Pristina for meetings with the Kosovan
    president and the UN administrator for Kosovo.

    "We enjoyed seeing him and now we'll just get on with our
    usual work for the day," said German soldier Thorsten Laufer
    of the visit.

    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.
