Taking sexiness out of news

The follow ups are always clearer than the news itself. Granted, they come several days after the event, are short, and usually in the back of the paper. But then, those same reasons are also strenghs. The sad part is that nobody follows the follow ups.

Here are the old news of they day.

Remember Xhamjl Gashi arrested in Germany several days ago accussed of "genocide?" They have the wrong man. UNMIK has mixed up identies once again. Gashi fears that he could be extradited to Serbia where he would stand trial for allegedly killing several Albanian collaborators.

The incident in Runik a while ago when Albanian students threw stones on a passing Serb bus. It was a single boy who did it after he was instigated by passing Serbs. It is not rare that Serbs going from one enclave to another show pictures of their leaders residing in Hague today and make other inflamatory signs. UNMIK, KFOR, and local government representatives have held a meeting with the students of the school to explain that they are damaging Kosovo's interests by their behavior.

Rohan has caught Albanians by surprise by his request for them to give up more municipalities. The understanding was that if Albanians were generous with their offers, international community would stand for their rights. Now it seems like we are dealing with classic negotiations. Right now Serbs are asking for about 35% of the territory.

In the chain of scandals of past years, this one is very interesting. About $2.7 million were spent on electronic bomb evading devices for Kosova's government officials. The problem is that the technology is 40 years old and the modern ones cost only $800,000. I wouldn't recommend them for use in Iraq.
An MP from the ORA party accuses that the "attempted assasination" of President Rugova by an explosion while driving through a Prishtina boulevard a while ago was done to justify the expense. Only in Kosovo, my friends. Deotec, the seller of the equipment, is represented by a former criminal jailed in Germany and banned from entering the US for supplying WMD making equipment to Libya..

And the cream, Serb lobby's mouthpiece will have some competition now.
