Serbia Resolutely Rejects New US Draft Resolution: No Need for New Resolution Before the Negotiations

Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica stressed in his written statement today that Serbia resolutely rejects a new U.S. draft resolution on Kosovo-Metohija at the UN Security Council, assessing that this draft also represents a preparation for the province’s independence.

“Kosovo-Metohija will not be independent and U.S. officials cannot change that fact with their everyday statements in support of the independence of the province,” the Prime Minister said in a statement sent to Tanjug.

“It is very important for the sake of future relations between Serbia and the US that Washington understands Belgrade will never accept to have a large portion of Serbia’s territory seized. If Serbia clearly points out that its essential state and national interest is to preserve territorial integrity, which is in line with the UN Charter, then it is an elementary thing that all countries wishing to maintain normal relations with Serbia respect this request.”

“Any country supporting the attempts to take Kosovo-Metohija from Serbia must count on deterioration of bilateral relations. The explanation that the attempt to seize Kosovo-Metohija was actually governed by a genuine friendship towards Serbia is completely unacceptable.”

“Such explanation is an insult to common sense. Kosovo-Metohija will remain an integral and unalienable part of Serbia, as it is written in the UN Charter and Serbian Constitution,” Kostunica said.

The Idea of Kosovo Independence — the Most Dangerous Project in Europe Today

The Premier’s latest statement also relates to the Tuesday visit of the US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried, during which he kept repeating like a broken record to every Serbian official he met that Kosovo-Metohija will be severed no matter what.

Apart from reiterating Serbia’s well-known position that such thuggery will not be permitted, Premier Kostunica also said that Serbian government strongly opposes the idea of the UN Security Council adopting any new resolution before the end of the new negotiating process.

Kostunica emphasized Serbian stance that future negotiations should be held within the framework of the existing UN SC Resolution 1244, and conveyed the Government’s expectation that the US will abide by the UN Charter, which guarantees Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as the inviolability of its internationally recognized borders.

Noting that respect of these principles constitutes the basis for the development of good relations between Serbia and the US, Serbian Prime Minister said that the idea of Kosovo independence is “the most dangerous project in Europe today, being destructive and in violation of the basic principles of international order.”

Back to 1930s: Ethnically Pure Greater Albania “a Necessity”

That Serbian Premier is correct in pointing to the perilous Western support for severing Serbian Kosovo province, which is feeding the fascist Albanian drive to conquer and seize large portions of surrounding states in order to recreate Hitler’s puppet state — Greater Albania, as the most dangerous project in present-day Europe, is proven by a number of Albanian columnists tackling their continuous unnatural urges these days.

Albanian paper from the Bush’s favorite town, Tirana, recently declared the necessity of forceful unification of “Albanian lands” at the expense of neighboring states and creation of ethnically pure Greater Albania:

“[...] The Albanian question is a question of colonial occupation, which is still unresolved due to the occupation and colonization of Albanian territories by the Serbs, Macedonian Slavs, Greeks, and Montenegrins ever since Kosova, the Vardar Valley (now under Macedonia), the Presheve [Presevo] Valley (now under Serbia), the Northern Highlands (now under Montenegro), and Cameria (now under Greece) were invaded by Serbia and Greece in 1912.”

“[...] There is no question of the Albanians of Macedonia, or the Albanians of Serbia, or the Albanians of Northern Highlands, or the Albanians of Greece, or the Albanians of Montenegro! There is only the question of the Albanians, as an indivisible nation whose liberation and reunification into a national Albanian state in the Balkans has become a necessity of the time if ever we want the Balkans to lose once for all time its powder keg appellation and if ever we want to have peace, security, and stability in Europe, which can be achieved only with the establishment of ethnic states, such as ethnic Albania, ethnic Bulgaria, ethnic Greece, and — why not? — ethnic Serbia.”

Hear Wagner marches in the background? You should.

Why is Washington So Eager to Push the New Resolution Through?

Except for canceling out the Resolution 1244 which states that Kosovo province is to remain an integral part of Serbia, what is the need and the purpose of so much stubborn insistence (five new drafts in two months!) on a “new resolution”? As Serbian representatives have stated on many occasions before, it doesn’t take a genius to realize no United Nations resolution is required to start the negotiations, and it is only logical that the result of those talks should form a basis for the new UN SC resolution, not the other way around.

This way, the US/UK and their hirelings are only showing how desperate they really are to invalidate the documents they signed earlier and revoke Serbian sovereignty over the southern province: they are even hinting at being prepared to accept much longer negotiation period and are apparently leaving the outcome open (being certain they’ll have no problems getting around that one, since Albanian Muslims would rather bathe in rivers of blood than give up on independence) — anything and everything to push through a new resolution that will cancel out the earlier one, i.e. that will leave the issue of sovereignty wide open.

Reason enough for Serbia never to accept any new resolution whatsoever until the end of negotiations.
