Would you like a bomb with that meeting?

roundup of important political events in Kosovo and about Kosovo this week.

There have been four bomb attacks. The first three caused some material damage and were definitely designed to send a message to government officials. Details are missing yet but the the ones in Gjilan might be realated to decentralization and the unsatisfaction in that area about what is being planned.

The fourth one happenned in Klina with four members of a Serb family wounded from it. This was also designed to send a massage. The fact that it happened just a day before imporant decision-making meetings of the UNSC and the Contact Group - and the fact that every such meeting is preceded by similar attacks - makes me think it was well planned and with clear intentions. Just when arguments for independence are most needed these heineous crimes against defensless Serbs will happen. I would love to know who's doing them - they definitely are not friends of Kosovo.

That's what puzzles me the most. What's the word in Kosovo on who is behind attacks? Organized groups, crazy individuals, kids who don't realize the magnitude of what they are doing?

Speculation goes anywhere from infightings for the helm of LDK party to Serbia. This range includes those you mentioned.
