Albanians and Serbs are trading houses from their respective enclaves creating ethnicly pure territories. Security may not be a problem but then there is so much more to life than just security. Very good reporting by IWPR once again.

When "Special US envoy for Kosovo negotiations Frank Wisner says that the solution for Kosovo's future status may not be acceptable for both Belgrade and Pristina, adding that the protection of Serbs and other minorities was of key importance during this process," he surely means some kind of autonomy for northern Mitrovica in an independent Kosovo. This was the International Crisis Group suggestion in February. Yet it doesn't seem like even the experts have a clue on how Mitrovica will be handled.Fife-hundred extra policemen were deployed to the north from other areas of Kosovo supposedly for the safety of Serbs there, and 650 German soldiers are also being sent to the French, who are more pro-Serb, sector to "show readiness of NATO to ensure security and stability in the region." These are clearly preemptive measures against the partioning of Kosovo, but a plan for reintegration of northern Kosovo has yet to be seen.

After so much wait and promises, it's no surprise that people are taking their houses to the market.
