Can you believe what this guy said? I had to introduce you to this.

Interview with Adem Demaçi (Politika)
British Minister for Europe Dennis MacShane has visited Pristina and official Belgrade, following which he requested Rugova to apologize to the Serb people for the events of 17 March. Do you think Rugova will do so?

“The people lost trust not only in Rugova, but also in all political representatives who are only marionettes in the hands of the West. But, such an event in Kosovo could not surprise either the Albanian people or me. Anyways, Rugova does things the way West tells him to do, and this had been demonstrated in his conducting of Kosovo and Metohija over the past three years.”

What of the return of 250,000 Serbs displaced since June 1999?

“Who told you that there had been so many Serbs in Kosovo? According to the census of 1991, and which is official data, there were 194,000 Serbs here. The return will be only possible, I repeat, once independence is proclaimed. The Albanian people will view everything else as once again an occupation by Serbia.”

Does the return of people to their homes mean occupation?!

“That is how the Albanian people see that. They are even convinced that this would be a reoccupation of the Serbian system and the return of the Milosevic regime.”

The international community is increasingly more taking the stand that the decentralization issue should be launched.

“That is out of the question. First independence, and only then the issue you mention. Haven’t we already given too much to the people who live in Serb enclaves. They have become so arrogant and strong that they even embarked upon a blockade of roads… I will say once again – first an independent Kosovo, and only then the possible stories on that topic. Can Serbia waste any more time at all, waste money on those Serb regions to whom Albanians gave all the rights.”

How do you see UNSCR 1244, which the Albanians, obviously, violate?

“Both UNSCR 1244 and the Constitutional Framework are only a “dead word on paper.” It turned out anyway, as in Rambouillet, that foreigners are “maneuvering” with UNSCR 1244,” Kosovo analyst Adem Demaçi told Politika.

Can I believe it? Well, I certainly believe he said it...but we all know that this cannot stand.

How many Serb refugees/survivors of the ethnic cleansing that swept the Krajina had taken up residence in Kosovo? How many Kosovo Serbs had been driven from their homes by the ongoing terrorist activities of the KLA, dating back into the early eighties? I doubt he's even considering them.

But I bet he'll count every 2 illegal Albanian immigrants as 3 valid citizens for his "census."

Peace will only come with the return of the Serb army. The threats of violence from the KLA should be given all the respect that our Marines are currently giving to the terrorists and thugs of Fallujah.
