Youppppie: we're getting the seat after all

Dobins: Independent Kosovo with a seat in UN

PRISHTINA, May 8, 2006 (KosovaLive) – I think that everyone knows what kind of conclusion for Kosovo’s status will be. It will be some sort of a conditional independence with a seat in the United Nations, James Dobbins, the former US Presidential Envoy for the Balkans, said in an interview with Radio Free Europe on Saturday.

Berlin - Stability Pact for SE Europe coordination Erhard Busek has declared that European Union has no political concept for the solution of problems in SEE. In an interview for the weekly Der Spiegel, Busek has not ruled out the possibility that if there isn't a solution for Kosova, the US will ask from Europe that the EU accept at the same time independent Kosovo and Serbia. "If Finnish President Martti Ahtisari does not achieve a quick solution, I am afraid that the US will solve it, whereas Europe will pay the bill for it. Austrian diplomat has said that in the Balkans US threats bring better results than those of Brussels and has warned that "when the demands of Washington are not met - told in a rough way, comes the army."

... the NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia in 1999 was not motivated by any authentic concern for the Kosovo Albanians and that the real reason was Serbia's refusal to implement the desired social and economic reforms, adding that Serbia "was the last corner of Europe holding out against U.S.-sponsored neoliberal programs."
