Milosevic is out of the equation, but it wasn't Milosevic who was doing the dirty work in Kosovo on the ground, was it? Ergo, it will be some time before the Kosovar Albanians are ready to countenance Serbs in uniforms in their midst.

It's a coherent reason, and it was given earlier in this thread. If you don't agree with it, fine - deal with the world and your cognitive dissonance as best you can.

Speaking of not understanding things, the fact that Croats and Serbs were killing each other with great abandon prior to Croatia's being recognized, coupled with the cease-fire put in place after recognition, doesn't support your position that recognition made things worse in Croatia - both parties were hell bent upon achieving their aims through force, the Croats turned out to want it more than the Serbs, and something tells me that the outcome of the various Balkan wars, which ended worse for the Serbs than others, chap your hide and are driving this discussion more than anything else.

No, it's not a reason at all for the question I asked, namely, why the Serbs aren't competent to decide themselves what would be the best approach to take. If you don't want to read what I'm saying, then don't lecture me about cognitive dissonance.

You're honestly going to tell me that things were worse before recognition than after?

Typical paranoid raving. Anyone who disagrees with you must be a Serb ultranationalist, which by the looks of things would amount to about 75% of the people on FR. Do you really believe your own idiotic strawmen? Pretty sad if you do.

What do you think about the timeframe 1941 to 1991 in regard to the Krajina Serbs? I mean, were the Krajina Serbs ready to countenance the Ustashas in uniform in their midst in 1991? I don't think they were.
