creating a new state is not easy. Iraq will tell you that but thank God in Kosovo not many US soldiers died and the cost to US has not been that much (relatively speaking).

I hope EU steps and take this as their own, because it is theirs. Have Kosovo become part of EU and a penny here and penny there and they manage to survive. Serbia, despite saber rattling is impotent and couldn’t take Kosovo if we left the Albanians a few anti-tank weapons, so peace is guaranteed. The problem is economy and that area has been poor for ages. Inflation and desperation might cause internal problems, but EU knows.

Yes, as much as it’s anyone’s.

I don’t know if Kosovo will survive no matter what. It’s never had a history of being a independent nation, for one.

We shouldn’t leave the Albanians anything.

>The problem is economy and that area has been poor for ages.

Amen. I don’t know if anything could help. A benefit of Ottoman and Communist rule.

>Inflation and desperation might cause internal problems, but EU knows.

So your solution is to basically turn Kosovo over to a bunch of bureaucrats? I suppose that’s as good a solution as any.

“Have Kosovo become part of EU”

Lol!! Seriously, do you really believe EU nations want Kosovo to be a part of EU? You really need to wake up and smell the coffee...the only reason several EU countries have recognised Kosovo’s dependent independence is because finally they can stop taking in all the “refugees” from there. Get it? You give them their own “home” and that way you don’t need to let them into your home. You obviously do not live in Europe and definitely don’t understand the European way of thinking!
