They'll be too busy dealing with that legacy of Milosevic's rule: Serbia's organized crime problem.

Uh Huh.

Well, as Kosovo is part of Serbia, you must mean the organized crime problem that was incubated by xlintoon's handiwork in 1999.

Kosovo drug mafia supply heroin to Europe

International agencies fighting the drug trade are warning that Kosovo has become a "smugglers' paradise" supplying up to 40% of the heroin sold in Europe and North America......

...according to the head of the Czech narcotics agency, Jiri Komorous: "There are four paths of drug trafficking through the Balkans to western Europe and we have to improve our attempts to control the Kosovo Albanians."

The Kosovo mafia has been smuggling heroin since the mid-80s - but since the Kosovo war they have come into their own, according to Mr Nicovic: "You have an entire country without a police force that knows what is going on."

The Kosovo Albanian mafia is almost untouchable.....

No, Hamiltonian - the Albanian drug gangs are a problem, but bringing them into the conversation doesn't do you any good whatsoever - they've never killed any heads of state, or enjoyed the fruits of a symbiotic relationship with a government the way that the Serbian Mafia did under Milosevic.
