Kosova: Another Round, Another Stalemate
Serbia wants to control Kosovo's borders? I guess a Serb soldier trying to control an Albanian-Albanian border is what they mean when they say live fast, die young. If Serbia is so dedicated in controlling borders, it should at least try to prevent the smuggling of goods and people on the border it already controls: Serbia-Kosovo one. The biggest goods smuggling and criminality on the Balkans probably runs through the part of the border that Serbia can already do something about. To paraphrase Paul Acda's (Economic Pillar of UNMIK) response to Serbia's threat of border closing in case of Kosovo independence: we would welcome such a move; criminality will be greatly reduced.
