so sad that the Serbs are giving some of their country to radical Albanian muslims.

So sad that radical islam has done what it what it wanted to do there with the help of appeasement from the west.

The Serbs should not give an inch of their land IMHO

Partition may be acknowledging reality on the ground and forfeiting Serbia's claim to sovereignty over all of its territory (which is even in the constitution).

I am sure the partitioning will be worded as "temporary" or something to the effect similar to UN SC Resolution 1244 which allowed "temporary" occupation of Kosovo by NATO forces, and which also guaranteed the return of Serbian authorities in Kosovo's institutions, and recognized Kosovo as integral part of a UN recognized member state to which present-day Serbia is a full inheritor.

This may be a slap in the face of the US which wants to built another NATO fortress on the outskirts of Russia, because it made statement that Kosovo's indpeendence is "irrevocable" and "permanent." Of course, nothing is! So it is expected that the US will oppose and all its lapdog member EU states will do as the master tells them (roll, play dead, bark, etc.)

This is all part of the "contingency plan" drawn up by the Serbian government to increase pressure, step-wise, in making its claims. Remember also that despite all the hoopla the Resolution 1244 is still in full force.

The Contact Group Guiding Principles of November 2005 make clear that there should be: no return of Kosovo to the pre-1999 situation, no partition of Kosovo, and no union of Kosovo with any or part of another country.

Next?
