Kosovo- historical problem of Serbia and Balcans

[ancika]

What are you think about this? Kosovo- have it a future in Serbian borders? Kosovo ine Serbia, or Kosovo out of Serbia- what is better?

[gunsnrosesaxlrockz]

Don't know enough about Kosovo and that region to make an honest opinion.

[ancika]

I'm affraid it can't make any opinion, because most people who live on Kosovo are asked for nothing.

I think it is to do with regional muslims being surpressed by others. Is that right? Radovan Karodjic and Slobodan Milosevic etc.

No, you are mistaking it with things that happened in Bosnia about a decade ago. In Kosovo it's between Serbs and Albanians. It's about Kosovo becoming an independant country and the conflicts between Serbian minority in the area or in fact Serbian Government and Albanian majority on how to resolve the issue.

Considering the fact that the EU is trying to gather its forces and nations under a global policy
Considering the fact that ever crisis in the world is due, partially, to borders and nation-focused policies.
I would really advise against kosovo independancy.
It is sad that the recent elections turned that way (right wing made a lot of votes?)

Muslims are part of the issue here, aren't they?

There is now way going for more independancy is gonna help anything.
They need to work, internaly, freely, through democracy towards understanding.
Violences against minorities must be stopped.
International forces should stay tho, a little longer, until stability.

nevertheless, transfering as much power as we can to the local region is a good idea.
M. Ãceku (prime minister right?) is working this way right?

Well most of Albanian population is muslim, but i don't think that's the main issue here.

it's not the main issue. But it's a parameter that we cannot exclude.
As i said, i think indenpendancy is out of the question.

It worked for us(Slovenia), but that's a different story i guess.

You're in the EU now right?
A mechanism that kinda balance your need of independancy?

[Sid]

Membership in the EU is a step backwards in our independancy.

Therefore independancy becomes a stupid way to go.
As the WHOLE word is shifting towars fusion and merging.
and You cannot stop it.

if Money and Oil travels the world, borders are bound to die ....

I just read up on Kosovo because my knowledge was a bit sketchy on it.

As I read it, it seems like your typical political power struggle in order to be recognised as an independent state although I am sure this generalised description is most likely inaccurate.

My Geopolitics lecturer at University did tell me that no two similar situations in this case are identical so I will not even attempt to compare to Tibet, Northern Ireland, Basque region, Chechnya etc.

Does anybody in the know think this is a desperate way for Serbia to try and maintain authority over an area that wants to follow in Montenegro's footsteps?
