The culture of the comments in here, tells much about the reality in Kosovo itself.
Kosovo didn’t get the recognition of almost all members of EU and many other countries of the world because any other reason, but the simple one, because Kosovo was a occupied territory for decades and as it is, for every colony someday comes the end ( this, most all of European countries itself have made experience with. The Independence of Kosovo stands more than just for the freedom of the country itself, it tells that EU was able at the end ( with the help of USA, of course ) to see that Europe is larger than the EU members thought it was and that denying the history of any parts of it, doesn’t make it’s consequents go away. And as this consequences began to be a real problem for the EU members and their economy, getting nearer to their ass with other words, finally Europe was ready to clear some shit from the past and act like they should have done so many years before when thousand of Albanians from Kosovo were forced to immigrate and run away from their homes, to save their life. The war in Kosovo, that one, what the world saw on their televisions, was the last step of the long fight of Albanians in Kosovo for freedom and democracy. Maybe it was, the trains filled with people deported to Macedonian border, that was so frightened for Europe, maybe the massacre of Recak maybe the USA…what counts is that they finally react and by recognising Kosovo they not only recognized the right for freedom of 2 million people but also ones right to fight for it when necessary

This is very idilic picture of small nation getting their independance.
But, you have to know that they were supported by AlCaida, that they had terrorist attacks all over the Europe, that Kosovo is center for drug trade and women trade and that they trade with human organs from imprisoned Serbian civilians and soldiers.(http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/12/warcrimes.kosovo).
So enjoy in this paradise, I hope that you will save your kidneys.

IT IS SHAME FOR OXFORD UNIVERSITY TO HAVE TEXT LIKE THIS ON ITS SITE !!!

I visited Kosova numerous times in behalf of UN. I support independence. I agree Serbs shall never accept it and probably flee to Serbia in decade or so. Most of them still follows old nationalist politics – in fact, even Tadic’s democratic goverment reinstalls old Milosevic’s cadre. In most media, Albanians are still treated as Untermensch. All together, minds of Serbs haven’t changed from 90’s – Milosevic had been expelled not becouse he was wrong, but becouse he had failed. Politics is still runs in terms of “blood and soil” , “national interest”, and “global conspiracy agains Serbs”. Only thing new is glorification of Putin’s Russia, who they see as future superpower that will help them to “restore justice for Serbs”.
Balkan is still not peacefull place, Serbia is still destablilizing factor. Just watch for Serbs in Bosnia and their leader Dodik.

There is not any doubt about Kosova (please note how is wroten by 2.5 million, 92%,of kosovars). The truth is that Kosova didn’t split with Serbia because they never are been together. Like Macedonians, Montenegrians, Croats, Bosnians and Serbs, they where a constitutive part of Yougoslavia. This status was removed with force by Milosevic. The realty is that Kosova split from Yougoslavia.

If Kosova is (or was part of Serbia) Should be someone to say who are or was they’re representatives in Serbian Parlament. Moreover there is not any vacant place where kosovar representatives can seat.

It is different with north part city of Mitrovica. They have they’re places in the parlament of Rep. of Kosova, much more than they belong according to they’re presence in Kosova. They have chosen to not participate but no one said to them to not be present and no one is taking their place. They are more privileged in Kosova than albanians are. Other Serbs from other parts of Kosova now are members of Kosova Parliament as an integral part.

It’s easy to understand that this part is not quiet because of Rep. of Serbia. An very risky comportment considering that they are Albanians in south Serbia, west Macedonia, south Montenegro etc… All bordered with Albanians.

No one want an other war in Balcan this is why I think that the border of KOSOVA will not change.
