An indy Kosovo was not good,

A UN controlled territory in Kosovo is much much worse

What, didn’t the clintons have an exit strategy?

Seriously, this is great news. Robbing Yugoslavia of a province and handing it over to drug running terrorist thugs was not a good plan.

The idea for Kosovan independence is definitely NOT dead. You may not want Kosovo to become independent, but that seems what could very probably happen. The author's suggestion that the concept of an independent Kosovo is dead is bordering on the insane.

And after reading more on the topic, and especially a BBC Have Your Say forum where Kosovans and their supporters were represented (FR seems to only have Serbians, or if there are Kosovan Serbians here, they're not contributing much on these threads), have come to support Kosovo remaining a part of Serbia--the Kosovans made a fairly poor argument, at least from an American cultural worldview.

However, yet again, the headline and the premise of the article figuratively flies in the face of the obvious. In December, unless the United States (and to a lesser extent the big members of the EU) change their opinion, Kosovo could declare independence and quickly gain international recognition from powerful nations.

Not so fast. This *is* in the Balkans.

Kosovo is Serbia, but that doesn’t mean NATO is finish messing up the Balkans.

“Ischinger, the EU envoy in the ongoing Kosovo talks, has contacted the province’s president by phone, the Albanian language daily says, “in order to deny the Tuesday assessment of the British daily Independent that the international community was giving up on its support for Kosovo independence.”

The daily adds that Ischinger told Sejdiu the British newspaper had “misinterpreted his words and had thereupon brought a wrong conclusion.” “

As much as I applaud everyone not giving-in to independence for Kosovo, it seems to me that the UN loves nothing better than establishing a permanent role in “supervising” nations/territories; also a very bleak prospect for the area.

I hope a camera catches the expression on war criminal Ceku’s face when the Serbian police place him under arrest.

An Internationally run Kosovo is the same as Independence because we know that the international (idotic) burocrats will eventually try to Force Kosovo Independence, just seeing this (stalemate) as a temporary defeat: If I were Serbia I would say, no: now get your butts off my land!
