Currently the Serbia are not great example how deal with minorities, I admit it. However I didn’t heard about any problems with Hungarians in Vojvodina. But with time they will learn what is necessary. How about history of the EU countries? How many years passed since they become tolerant towards minorities? They are not better or worse than Serbs and other Balkaners the victims of the Yalta agreement. You still don’t have any solution how to stop similar movements in Africa and Asia in the future.

I do not say that Serbia has no potential to develop.

The question to me is what the Kosovarians want. I do not care that much about the political auto-erotic of some "local heroes" from Serbia or Albania, who are stammering around about "holy earth", "the defense of christendom/islam" etc. etc. etc. It has to be something the people can live with. They do not need a orgy of smeary nationalism, they need a place where their children have a future. Their own decision will be the best since they will make it in their own interest. The next problem to me is, that I do not want to waste much more German money and troops into this crazy quagmire. The problem has to be solved. Soon.

BTW - I wouldn't be that bad to me if boarders would represent the real boarders. The boundaries of i.e. Africa were made by British, German and French colonialists not regarding the local ethnic realities. Therefore it could be a political "quantum jump" for the Africans, if their boarders could be corrected into their needs. If you take north and south Sudan i.e.. It is not nessecary that the different ethnics (christian and muslim) are melted in one state and one government. I am aware that the change of boarders is usually a bloddy business, but if we have the chance to do it without loosing thousands of men like in Kosovo - why not try it?
