Kosovo: Going Round in Circles
Gabriel Partos of BIRN has a roundup of the developments in the last month or so regarding status. Pay attention to the part where he explains the movements done by the two sides towards the still elusive compromise. Yes, compromise (as defined in Belgrade) is impossible, but some movement is possible. And on that, Serbia has given us PR stunts to buy time while Kosovo has come up with some really good proposals. For example, Belgrade will come up with plans which it will disclose only to Russia for about two months and then reveal nothing but disappointment. This is one sure way to extend the conflict forever, as is the goal.
A slap in the face for Kosovo came when at the latest meeting in New York a historic compromise was proposed by our negotiators, which would have established normal relations between two sovereign countries and leave hostilities behind. The assaulter snubbed at the extended hand of the victim. Serbs have surely gotten cocky, and that's the worse damnation you could wish to your enemies.
