This George Gets it Right: Clooney to Organize Protest Against Unilateral Declaration of Kosovo Independence
Famous Hollywood actor, activist and campaigner George Clooney in a statement to the Frankfurt daily News announced he intends to organize a protest with his colleagues against the unilateral declaration of independence of Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija.
“With my coworker and friend Sharon Stone and her childhood friends of Serbian ancestry, I'll soon organize a protest against the attempts to grant independence to Kosovo,” the popular American actor said.
Clooney, who was among the first to support the Hollywood writers' protest and also backed the boycott of the Golden Globe awards ceremony, is well known as a fierce campaigner against any kind of injustice.
“I strive to use my popularity to help the mankind, to contribute to solving the number of problems afflicting today's world,” he said.
The New UN Messenger of Peace
George Clooney is a co-founder of Not on Our Watch, a humanitarian organization that focuses global attention on the plight of Darfur's people. The organization has raised more than $9.3 million for humanitarian efforts in the region.
The 46-year-old actor has been campaigning for an end to the 4 1/2-year war in Darfur and for humanitarian aid for the millions caught up in the conflict.
According to the AP, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon designated George Clooney as a U.N. "messenger of peace" Friday, January 18, 2008. He will become the ninth U.N. peace envoy.
While many U.N. agencies have goodwill ambassadors to promote activities ranging from helping children and refugees to promoting human rights, "messengers of peace" are selected by the secretary-general to promote the broader work of the United Nations.
U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas said Clooney was recognized "for focusing public attention on crucial international political and social issues."
As a messenger of peace, he will have "a special focus on United Nations peacekeeping," Montas said.
Clooney will receive his designation at U.N. headquarters Jan. 31. He will also attend a meeting of countries that contribute troops to the 17 U.N. peacekeeping missions in countries from the Mideast and Africa to Haiti, Afghanistan and East Timor.

Macedonians claim George Clooney is one quarter Macedonian. I think his mother’s father they said was Macedonian or from Macedonia.
The EU is going to be subject to blackmail and extortion. The future is going to get ugly again.
The Muslim have only a band of desperate kamikazes hoping to explode a WMD.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. What the heck is wrong with our government being on the wrong side of this?
It's not a mystery. The pinhead Clooney is anti-Bush and Bush is for Kosovo independence. If Bush was against it then Clooney would be for Kosovo independence.
The libtard mind is a simple thing.
In 1999 and before, the Christian Serbs were the early warning system to what lay in store for the West in the war against Islamic Terror. But the West chose to align itself with Islamic Terror groups like the KLA and bomb the Serbs in what amounted to a combined 5th Crusade against Orthodox Christians.
The West was sent a thank you card postmarked 9/11,sent via air mail delivery, ironically from followers of the religion of “peace” the West sought to appease. Refusing to publicly acknowledge the alliance of the KLA, and Al Qaeda operatives in the Balkans, the dual seeds of self destruction and the emboldenment of a ruthless enemy were sown at the highest levels of the U.S. Government.
Could the Western European nations and their U.S. handlers, soon find themselves struggling to contain the Islamic Republic of Kosovo? Once the lions are out, how long before the lands of the neighbouring European multi-culturalists nations will be visited upon by the sword of Islam.?
Should that occur, no one can say that it came without ample and repeated warning.
A requested ping against giving Kosovo over to the Jihadists.
The Russians are against Kosovo independence, and the US is for it. What’s so odd with a Hollywood actor aligning with the Russians?
That's truly amazing and almost unbelievable!!!! The great majority of Hollywood celebrities never met a globalist cause they don't like. That goes double for celebs with UN connections, like the globalist dupe Nicole Kidman.
Maybe there's still hope.
So you would prefer that the Christian lands of Kosovo be handed over to criminal islamist “wannabes” then?
Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
pathetic! what you are talking the albaninan’s didn’t kill the serbs ,they where the ones who killed 10.000(including children and womens) albanins ,and in kosova there is no alqaeda or jihad thing (and never was), we are not in iran!!! .here in kosova we live in harmony(muslims and catholics) im muslim and i have lot of catholic friends..
And it belongs to Serbia!!!!
You burn down the churches of your friends? Shame on you!
The lion’s share of them think they’re that important. Talk about illusions of grandeur.
We had a chance to be allies with Serbia and Russia in the fight against the “ethnic Albanians” aka KLA and the Chechens who undermine western civilization with their organized crime networks, Islamic terror and the lying propaganda that was distributed worldwide by our “free press” idiots and the traitorous Clintoon administration. Such a united effort could have resulted in much better relations today and a weakened Islamic front in Europe. Instead we blew it big time, and suffer as a result in more ways than we can count.
THIS IS ALL FALSE
George Clooney Kosovo independence rumours: FALSE (see Jan. 20 news) George Clooney’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, today confirmed to ClooneyStudio.com that George “neither made those statements nor did he authorize anyone to make it on his behalf.”
