Growing Gap Between US and EU Kosovo Stands
U.S. Insistence on Ahtisaari Plan Obstructs Upcoming Negotiations
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said on Saturday that United States’ continuous insistence on the Ahtisaari plan is detrimental to the new negotiations, adding that one of the worst aspects of this plan is the fact it grants NATO an above-the-law status that no military organization has ever had in the democratic world.
In a statement for Tanjug, Kostunica said that “Serbia is ready to take its share of responsibility and give the appropriate contribution to the finding of a compromise solution, which can be reached only if the United States gives up the Ahtisaari plan, i.e. if everybody abides by the UN Charter and fundamental principles of international law.”
EU: Albanian Separatists to Curb Their Appetites
Beta news agency reports that an Albanian-language Pristina daily says Wolfgang Ischinger has told Albanian separatist leaders that Serbian province’s status will not be settled this year.
Express daily reports in its Saturday edition that the EU envoy to the Contact Group mediating Troika told Albanian separatist representatives in Pristina Friday not to expect the status issue to be solved by the end of 2007.
According to the daily, this is the first time a high-ranking international diplomat directly suggested to the Albanians they should lower their expectations and that the status settlement will not be finalized this year.
During his two-day stay in southern Serbian province of Kosovo-Metohija, German diplomat met with the main figures of Albanian separatist movement in the province: Fatmir Sejdiu, war criminal Agim Ceku, Kol Berisha, Veton Surroi and the other war criminal, Hashim Snake Thaci.
Comments
Someone asked about the possible evidence of Kouchner's corruption. Here's the response:
Kouchner, the Bosnia-war "doctor without borders" who removed the Greek doctors from his team because they might want to help Serbs too and the first UNMIK head in Kosovo province, seen celebrating with Mad Albright in freshly occupied (and cleansed of Serbs) Pristina; an alleged "humanitarian" who has favored every brutal, open-faced aggression in his time - as long as the West was behind it - including three-month pounding of FR Yugoslavia and occupation and thorough destruction of Iraq with over 1,000,000 victims thus far, but has shed crocodile tears over a handful of Bosnian, Albanian and Chechen Muslim fighters, blasting Serbs and Russians as the evil incarnate; the disloyal opportunist who broke his party ranks, swinging from left to right in a blink of an eye, just so he gets a ministerial chair is the sleaziest sample of a sleazy politician out there, but one would have to spend some time digging to find concrete bits of evidence that he is just that... the worst greaseballs always hide their tracks best.
