WASHINGTON -- U.S. Kosovo envoy Frank Wisner believes the time is right to implement Martti Ahtisaari's blueprint.
The plan, rejected by Belgrade and blocked by Moscow at the UN last spring, in Wisner's words, is about a perspective of the province's independence.
"We can't go on like this forever. During the past two years, first with President Ahtisaari and then with the Troika negotiations, we tried to find a solution based on compromise. But it transpired this was impossible," the U.S. diplomat told Belgrade daily Večernje Novosti in Washington.
"The sides remained firmly in their positions. In my opinion, there is absolutely no reason to believe that further talks would lead to a change in behavior."
"There is no way for Kosovo to be ready to return under Serbia's sovereignty. And so we arrived at the most logical conclusion that brings stability to Kosovo, and creates badly needed clarity in the whole region, and that is independence," the U.S. member of The Contact Group Troika explained his country's position.
Asked about the value of a solution that many European countries and Russia disagree with, Wisner said he believed "a good number of European countries" understood the importance of his words, and added that "we must wait for the Europeans to announce their stance."
The diplomat added that "no one will be able to force anyone else to recognize independence," as well as that the Kosovo solution Washington had in mind will not be acceptable to all.

“We are old allies, so we are going to thank you by breaking-up ypur country!?!?!?
A big bucket of c*ap is going to fall on our heads, and we just cant do anything about that....
Yes... something bad, and evil future brings... I dont know what, but it will affect whole world...
From your research:
“Wisner had been an attorney who had represented the financial interests of wealthy Albanian refugees who had been members of the Nazi-fascist collaborative group...”
Seriously horrible stuff...Wisner...he commited suicide
And this:
“Wisner’s subversion operations in the US resulted in conflict with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who dismissed the OPC as “Wisner’s gang of weirdos”. Hoover investigated members of OPC and found that many had been members of “leftist”, i.e., pro-Communist or socialist, organizations in the 1930s.”
When you go way over the to the right you meet up with your buddies in the extreme left.
By whom? Bush? That Jack Crack just maintained the Clintonista clan policies in Kosovo. John Q. Moron? CNN, New York Times, et al. have told them that Serbs are *eeeeevil*.
Serbian politicians aren’t much better, but that’s another issue. They can’t stop the US from railroading their country.
It’s frustrating beyond belief.
The son of Operation Bloodstone didn’t have enough of Serbian blood.
Him and Holbrooke
