I don't think any Serb PM will pressure the NATO alliance any time soon on Kosovo:

No. They'll be too busy dealing with that legacy of Milosevic's rule: Serbia's organized crime problem.

[Destro]

you mean the organized crime that came about because of US sanctions? What American legacy applies to the KLA mafia?

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.....

The key to the Serbian puzzle resides with the answer to the question:

Why haven't the Serbs been complaining to every reporter with a TV, tape recorder, or notepad about the French/German double-standard on going to war (as they did in 1999 in Kosovo) without the UN...compared to their stand against the U.S. doing the same thing this year against Iraq?

Anything outside of that question, such as ridiculous speculation about crime lords taking an action that yields no direct profit but that would bring the entire military down on them if caught, is little more than useless distraction.
