Wow! New York Times attention. Must be something big coming. Jomini! Please let us know!
Sorry MarMema, don't know why you weren't part of my ping list already but you are now.
The only real solution would be to let the Serb authorities take back kosovo and administer law there with the international community providing monitoring. No doubt there would be unhappy Albanians but once the KLA thugs start to kill more UNMIK Police (sound familiar) as well as NATO soldiers, the Serb option will be the only route to take. The general Albanian population is as equally fearful of the KLA. I believe the Serbs who are under a new administration will be Kosovo's only option.
If Kosovo was to become an indipendantAlbanian state or become part of Albania what next? The end result will be a civil war spilling into a regional war involving Greece, Macedonia and Serbia not to mention the Russians will certainly be in the background providing support. This will happen folks. The best option is to let the Serbs back into Kosovo under UN monitoring. Better a small mess than a big one.
