On the pavement, Dragoljub Mitrovic, 37, is trying to sell a heap of cheese in a blue bucket.
He has travelled from his home village, through an Albanian area, to try and make some money to feed his wife and two children.
"All Serbs, including me, live in constant fear. The UN brings us here on special buses. If Kosovo becomes independent, I'll pack my things and leave and try to get asylum elsewhere. There'd be no life for me here. I'd look for democracy in Europe."
Technically, Kosovo remains a part of Serbia. But in reality it has been run by the United Nations since the end of the war in 1999.
..
ass the French troops stationed on the bridge over the River Ibar, that separates the Serb north from the Albanian south, and you enter a different world.
The place is humming: crowded, colourful, energetic. There is a sense of expectation.
Edmond Jolla, 32, is Albanian and the owner of the upmarket restaurant Ex.
"Everyone is expecting independence. In terms of my business, independence would enable me to invest for the future. Everyone will live better. I have two flats in north Mitrovica and when we get independence I hope to get them back. The war is finished," he tells me.
Drive 45 minutes south and you arrive at the air-conditioned, spankingly clean New Government Buildings in the capital, Pristina.
The former Albanian guerrilla leader-turned-prime minister, Agim Ceku, is sharp-suited and smiling when I arrive.
He tells me the government will accept nothing less than independence - and partition is out of the question.

"The former Albanian guerrilla leader-turned-prime minister, Agim Ceku, is sharp-suited and smiling when I arrive."
translation:
"Indicted war criminal (ethnical cleansing, rape, torture of Christians) turned-primeministre by UN..."
That guy deserves .22 cal. dance in his scull.
Once you give a war criminal the title of "Prime Minister", what do you think that he is going to expect, other than independence? As far as he is concerned, he is already the leader of "a country"!
Another legacy of Bill Clinton.
Ergo, Serbian indictments don't mean squat, and Ceku's designation as a "war criminal" is merely for domestic (and ex-pat) Serbian consumption.
So go ahead and work yourselves up into another lather - it's all for naught, and life, though you may dislike the way it goes, will go on.

"When you lie down with wolves you become one" NATO's silence and complicity with this barbaric criminal Ceku will come back to haunt us. In the meantime, he is a Walking Dead Man.
Why don't you just go get Clinton to give you a b-job & give it up, Hoppie. Your glib lib attitudes don't fly here anymore -- if they ever did.
By the way, got Osama?
Good for you - it appears to be the response of last resort amongst your peers.
LOL.
Yawn...........
Sweet if you say yes.
dude, think of all the funning we will have! picking up chicks and bringing them back to our batchelors pad and then..ya know? heheehehe
Yeah Hoplite will wow'em with all his combat experience, he's like the military version of Barney Fife.
Oh, and don't let him get all long winded about his ED, he'll babble on an on about that for hours trying to explain how the only treatment that works for him is his "hunt for Destro" forays on the bloggers all over the net.
How about a dose of reality and the truth for a change? meaning of course that you are mistaken. :))
LOLOL.....
A Superbly Organized Crime
Imperial Occupation of the Balkans

Organized And Other Crimes Not exactly. It turns out "several ethnic Albanian politicians are suspected of being linked to the gangs." Like who? Hashim Taqi, head of the KLA, nicknamed "Snake" for assassinating his rivals? Agim Ceku, former general in the Croatian army who specialized in ethnic cleansing? Bajram Rexhepi, the current Prime Minister, who is said to have decapitated a Serb prisoner during the NATO-KLA "war of liberation"? Robertson does not say, and neither does the VOA. All that matters is that NATO (good) is pledging to fight some unspecified organized crime (bad).
What, you're hoping that more will join your Dhimmi club? You're barking up the wrong tree, O' toothless one!
Now go make us some pancakes!
How's about you actually backing up these big words with something substantiative, rather than relying upon a couple of Serbian propaganda artists to provide irrelevant material to fill up your post?
Who besides Serbia has indicted Ceku?
Serbia is enough with actual indictments. Who better to indict a war criminal than the ones who he perpetrated the crimes against. However, given your professional knowledge and well read intelligence, I am bound to give you more references. So, I will provide more info later this week as I do my work here and i will find the time to give you more retort.
Oh, guess what I learned this weekend? Wesley Clark was relieved of his command instead of retirement only. He chose retirement. I got this straight from the source....CI did an investigation on him....long story short. I find that very interesting since he wrote a book about the ill fated intervention we were involved in.....
However, granted the Serbs are split between their nationalism and trying to meet with UN/US requirements....for entrance into the mainstream; so to speak. You have a good point...from a neutral point of view...so, in a short while I will respond.
Also, keep in mind that Ceku, Thaqi and Ramush is protected by the U.S. and other UN advocates....beyond acceptable levels......very deep pockets especially when terrorist are released from Bondsteel by covert means.....or released by "lack of evidence"....
Uh-huh. It's just that nobody gives a rat's ass about Serbia's Milosevic era indictments, and those indicted can visit Serbia itself without having to worry about being arrested, because the Serbian government itself knows it's all nothing but a stupid PR stunt.
Deal with what? Most anything that comes out of the ICTY will be biased and unprofessional. They can't be trusted in any way, shape or form. Much in the same way you label with Serbia.
Also, it find it interesting that Wesley was relieved of his command following several CI investigations to include family members, not to elaborate. This is a fact.....got it first hand.
Anyway, you should give a mouses' buttockette about the Serbian current indictments which are true and should be followed up on....but won't due to the "juice" given to the Kosovo Criminal leaders........that we are supporting. Go figure. One reason they can't indict is that few of the witnesses are still living after most all have been murdered.
it's 6:00 AM EST....don't you ever sleep....? :)) here its 1200 AM...and in one minute will be 1201 PM.....
Can't sleep huh? All those guilty feelings and pent up "energy"...:)))
The fact that Serbia's Milosevic era indictments don't mean squat - not even in Serbia.
Is this really too complicated for you?
No wonder you work for the Serbs.
Don't work for the Serbs, Son....Everything I write or do is because I'm Patriot. I'm tired of the lies by Clinton and Holbrooke and Walker....to name a few. The indictments are valid but not supported due to the corruption and deep pocket of the ICTY. The ICTY is a laughing stock and a travesity to good order. A complete sham.......It's not complicated for me or you. That is the sad part. You understand it, and yet you support the evil strategy......
