Sounds rather empty to me, Bush sends a letter thanking the Serbs for their support on fighting terrorism but have no problem allowing Albanian terrorists to murder and terrorize Serbs in Kosovo. So what is camp Bondsteel for anyway?

Right on. Although coupled with report bellow, there might be, there just might be some light shed (mirage?):

Not enough people returning says Montgomery | 14:29 | Beta

NIS -- Friday - US Ambassador to Yugoslavia William Montgomery said today that it is "completely unacceptable that a very small number of Serbs have returned to Kosovo."
"We are working together with all the officials. There is no need for any confrontation, but it must all be done slowly and persistently", said Montgomery, referring to mass return of Serbs to Kosovo due tomorrow.
He used Bosnia as an example where nobody returned for two years after the war, "but if we look (at Bosnia) now, we will see that some 100 000 people have returned, including several thousands Serbs", said the US Ambassador.
He said the US Government's stance is for the return of all refugees and displaced people to Bosnia, Croatia even to Kosovo.
"There won't be any true stability in the region without the returns", said Montgomery.

Trade law not certain says Djindjic | 11:16 | B92

WASHINGTON -- Friday – During the Washington leg of his US trip, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic has told the Voice of America that he’s concerned that not all is looking good regarding the normalization of trade relations with the US.
"There are some congressmen who have called for the trade law with Yugoslavia be postponed because of worrying statements issued by presidential candidates," said Djindjic.
Djindjic is referring to statements made last week by President Vojislav Kostunica saying that Serbia and The Republic of Srpska are temporarily separated. Kostunica responded last week saying his comments were taken out of context and he was speaking metaphorically about the people’s views of borders.
"We have tried to persuade these people that this is just a misunderstanding, that there are no ill intentions, and I hope we will get a normal trade status with America," said Djindjic.
On a positive note, the Serbian delegation enjoyed a working lunch yesterday with the representatives of some 60 American investment companies.
Asked what needs to be done before investors will enter the economy, Djindjic replied that decisiveness in carrying out reforms. These include, introduction of world norms into trade legislation, and reforms in the courts, police and customs. "These reforms are the government’s priorities," said Djindjic.

Excuse my language, but this Pizda needs to be castrated, he is becoming worse than Milo or Tito ever was. He is the type of consumate brown-nosing, self opportunistic thug that has made other 3rd World nations just that, 3rd World. He is no different than a Mugabe for example.
