NATO warns of a war in Kosovo

NEBI QENA

PRISTINA, Serbia-NATO's commander in Kosovo said Tuesday that patience is running out in the volatile province and he warned of further deterioration if international envoys fail to persuade ethnic Albanians and Serbia to agree on its future.

German Lt. Gen. Roland Kather, who commands over 16,000 troops in Kosovo, urged Western and Russian envoys to broker a deal between the independence seeking ethnic-Albanians and Serbia's officials or risk facing a violent backlash if no agreement is reached.

"Patience is not endless," Kather said. "They should come up with a decision as soon as possible."

Last week envoys from United States, the European Union and Russia launched a 120-day effort to end the impasse over Kosovo.

The new effort follows Russia's threat to block a Western-backed plan to grant Kosovo internationally supervised independence in the U.N. Security Council.

The diplomats are to report back to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon by Dec. 10.

Kather said the situation was quiet in the province of some two million people but added it was "unpredictable."

"Certainly the situation will deteriorate after those 120 days," Kather said. "We have to do everything possible to keep it under control."

The delay in resolving Kosovo's political status has raised fears of renewed violence as the frustration among the majority ethnic Albanians grows in the absence of a decision over its future, eight years into U.N. and NATO administration.

"My main worry is that following some kind of ... political trouble, there will be some individuals, there will be some extremists, there will be some frustration," Kather said.

"They need a fuse, and then they might come up with some violent actions. That of course, will cause a reaction ... and then suddenly this violence might run out of control," he said.

Both sides in the talks have expressed doubt an agreement will be reached and prospects for compromise are slim. Kosovo's Albanians continue to insist on full independence from Serbia, an outcome Belgrade opposes.

Over the weekend the EU envoy to the talks said that partitioning the province along ethnic lines was an option if ethnic Albanian and Serbian leaders agreed, and threatened to deny the possibility of EU membership if the sides failed to compromise.

The two sides are to hold the next round of talks with international envoys Aug. 30 in Vienna, Austria.

We can ship all the Albanians to Sarajevo and then you guys can practice killing and stealing from each other. It would do the rest of the world a favor and would keep your fellow jihadi brethren from shooting up malls here in the States.

http://www.savekosovo.org has far superior data.

Besides having seen the results of the nightmare cause by Islamic fanatics.

Coming here to troll is hardly the opposite view. You are just here to dissemble and push your clone site trying to justify a Moslem Wahabi state.

The new book BY A PERSON SERVING ON THE CURRENT KOSOVO COMMITTEE would enlighten people to the horror caused by those you support:

Hiding Genocide in Kosovo
A Crime against God and Humanity
by Iseult Henry

At a time when the Western powers – foremost among them the United States – prepare what
they hope will be an endgame for their predetermined solution to the Serbian question, now
comes a searing ray of truth that cuts through the fog of lies in which Kosovo has been
shrouded. The work of “Iseult Henry,” the pen name of a UcurrentU member of the international
mission in Kosovo, Hiding Genocide in Kosovo: A Crime against God and Humanity is not
a typical book of the current events or international affairs genre. Nor is it a journalistic exposé.
It is simply a book of stories, true stories of what has taken place in Kosovo since the end of the
1999 war: shooting, beheading, burning, bomb attack, maiming, rape, abduction, torture,
desecration, theft, mutilation, and harassment. While Western policymakers (the U.S., EU, UN,
NATO, OSCE, etc.) delude themselves that they are buying the goodwill of the Muslim world by
the sacrifice of a small Christian community in Kosovo, the perpetrators know this is yet another
step toward Islamic dominance of all Europe. This is a struggle for the soul and future not just
for Kosovo, not just for Serbia, but for an entire continent.

This is a verbatim statement from the http://www.savekosovo.org site. Keep in mind as indicated in the verifiable whois data above, the http://www.savekosovo.org site was registered first. (also interesting to see where the American committees are registered)

We have a cat and mouse game here folks. We have a typical left wing game of accused accusing the accuser.



Important Notice Concerning Fraudulent “American Council for Kosova“ Website:

It has come to our attention at the American Council for Kosovo that there still may be some confusion about an unauthorized mirror site, created by persons styling themselves the “American Council for Kosova.” This deceptive site closely patterns the appearance of the genuine American Council for Kosovo site (www.savekosovo.org) but with a pro-Albanian separatist, anti-Serbian, pro-Kosovo independence message. Indeed, suggestions even have been made that we at the American Council for Kosovo are also behind the mirror site in order to “work both sides of the street,” on the pro-Albanian side as well as the pro-Serbian side.
Nothing could be further from the truth! The pro-Albanian “Kosova” site appeared within days of our creation of the genuine American Council for Kosovo site. Its purpose was clearly to detract from the effort we had launched on behalf of the Christian Serbian community in Kosovo and Metohija under the guidance of Vladyka Artemije. It is characteristic of the pro-separation advocates that they are afraid to engage on the facts and international standards concerning Kosovo — both of which favor the Serbian position — and need to stoop to cheap tricks and deception in a feeble attempt to undermine our increasingly successful message. In that sense, we take their efforts — which, given the activity of the fraudulent site, clearly are quite well-funded — as a compliment to our work and evidence of increasing fear on the Muslim Albanian side that the the pro-separatist agenda is in deep trouble.
We at the American Council for Kosovo have been asked (1) why we did not preempt the available internet addresses for the fraudulent site, and (2) why we don’t take legal action to shut them down. The short answer is that doing so would take away time and resources from our own activities, which given the formidable opposition we still face, we cannot afford to spare. Conversely, we are confident that intelligent readers, if they do chance across the fraudulent mirror site will soon see it for what it is: just more of the dishonest and misleading “Kosova” propaganda to which the world has been subject for the past decade and more. We ask the critical reader to make the appropriate comparisons and dismiss the fraulent mirror site to the oblivion it so richly deserves.
Media requesting further information about this matter may contact press@savekosovo.org

There is no such place as Kosova, which translates into nothing (although certain scum want it to mean "land stolen from Serbs and given to Jihadists in an attempt to appease them").

It's Kosovo, you osshole.

So what does Kosova mean in Albanian?

We know that Kosovo means "Field of the Blackbirds" in Serbian, so what is Kosova other than a Mad Moon Rock Cultist attempt at making it sound Albanian?

But we did find those 100,000 bodies in mass graves that Clinton told us about.

Except we found them in Iraq and they’d all been killed by Saddam’s men.
