KOSOVO SECESSIONS: 06, 07, 08
Part 2: 2008 Secessions
By Vojin Joksimovich


Conclusion

It is difficult to believe that in the 21st century the world’s only superpower for the reasons to be discussed in Part III, with support from big EU four wants to carve up a sovereign country against its will. Serbia has demonstrated that it wants to join the European family of nations and has been developing a democratic future. There are many Kosovo’s round the globe for which the U.S. and its NATO allies insist preservation of territorial integrity must be maintained. Nonetheless, they insist that creation of a second Albania in Europe on Serbian territory must take place. Their bulldozers are in high gear and unless smaller EU countries seriously challenge this abuse of power a precedent with far reaching consequences will be created. Russia and Serbia can still turn these bulldozers around depending on the moves they choose to make in early 2008. D day was supposed to be in 2006, then in 2007 and then on December 10. Kosovo PM Ceku, after hearing from Rice that she couldn’t imagine Kosovo remaining part of Serbia, wanted to move it even to late November in order to overlap with the Albanian Flag Day. It has now been moved now to February/March and some are even talking about May. For a huge mess that has been unnecessarily created it’s going to take a while for a cleanup to take place. Upon a serious scrutiny, the unprecedented autonomy Serbia has offered might look attractive. In 2008 there might be a secession followed by recognition of some Western and Islamic countries but there might not be. Stalemate might continue yet for a while. The outcome of secession is still uncertain. However, what is certain is that a truly independent state will not be created.
