EU Officials Learn to Filter Albanian Lobbyists Out
Filtering the ICG Rubbish Out
The proposal of the International Crisis Group (ICG) that the European Union should “take advantage” of the period of new negotiations on the future status of Kosovo and Metohija to set up a so-called coalition of willing states that would, at the end of the year, be ready to recognize a unilateral proclamation of the independence of Kosovo is contrary to the intentions and stands of the EU, a European official said in a statement for Tanjug in Brussels on Friday.
The source said the EU sincerely wanted a solution and would do everything for the negotiations to succeed, and not to condemn them to failure from the very beginning, as the ICG advocates.
ICG Biased and Always Wrong
The Group stands are being studied, but “this lobbyist organization is prone to arbitrary interpretations and wrong evaluations, such as the negative predictions about the possibility of the forming of the new Serbian government just days before it was agreed in May,” the source said.
The scenario in which certain EU countries could agree to recognize the independence of Kosovo exists, but there are too many negative consequences, including, among other things, the consequences for the unity of the EU, something that is of key importance, the diplomat said.
This week’s visits to the region by Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amada and EU representative in the mediating troika Wolfgang Ischinger are, according to the EU official, “proof that the EU is stepping up the search for an acceptable solution, and not one that could generate a new crisis.”

The Albanian lobbying ICG headquartered in Brussels and Washington is led by a team of notorious warmongers and Serbophobes such as George Soros, Morton Abramowitz, Zbigniew Brzezinski (whose protégé and business partner is the current American ambassador in the UN, Afghani-born Zalmay Khalilzad), former NATO commander Wesley Clark, former German foreign minister Joschka Fischer and former foreign minister of Norway Thorvald Stoltenberg. Their “chairman emeritus” is Martti Ahtisaari.
To make it even scarier, among a number of various governments’ foreign and defense ministers, senators, bankers and even former prime ministers and their advisers listed as the International Crisis Group’s “senior advisers,” Mohamed Sahnoun — present Adviser to the United Nations Secretary-General, is also listed as the ICG man.
