Sir,
Serbia cannot be given EU membership unless and until it learns to engage in a more European manner. Until then, let it keep the comapny of its tradiotional ally, Russia.

I say let the UN rip Kosovo away from Serbia. In 20 years when all of the illegals in California, Arizona and Texas want to break away and rejoin Mexico then there will be a precedent. Viva Mexico!

I'm very sorry Gino, but please get your facts together, Kosovo was never independent state. Also, it was never "self-constitutive" part of Yugoslavia, but it was part of Serbia. Serbs never changed what you call "Yu resulution"(whatever that may be). And the wars in former Yugoslavia started when Slovenia and Croatia illegally armed themselves, and tried to expel Serbian population from the territories they controlled, just as Kosovo Albanians were doing during communist Yugoslavia. So Gino, YOU should check your facts and practice your English.

miconi, Belgrade,

In response to Gino's comment above. Your views are typical of an ignorant person. Kosov(O), as has been shown on maps and various other published sources (i.e. take a look at a map of Serb lands during early 800s AD) has always been part of Serbia. [when taking a look at this map, which can be found on wikipedia and other websites, notice that "albania" is non existent]. The only reason albanians claim to have any sort of connection to Kosovo is due to their so highly held belief that they are the decendents of Illyrians of the bronze age (not true). Please, before attacking people, such as the writer/s of this article, make sure you have a clear knowledge of history. My views are not one sided, nor biast, they are true fact.
I would also ask of the the writer/s to consider the fact that using cut sections of speeches do not stand to be the actual words said. Note also the comments made by simic in regards to war quote "war was also a legal means, when no other options remained"

Gino,

Your english no so good. Kosovo, all of its infrastructure, its culture (look at the accepted names of the cities) is Serbian. The oldest structures standing and recently destroyed ( destroyed by Albanians) are of Serbian origin. The Albanians are trying to destroy the evidence of the historical truth of Kosovo. That it was, is and always will be Serbian. Also, illegal immigration ( Mexican style ) into Kosovo has been a huge problem for decades.

There is a great explanation if there is a right and proven history and of course you reportes you need to read more before you writte something and especialy for the contries or old countries,
Kosova was e Indepedent country when it was together as one state with Albania until 1912, here in London the old Rambue, and secon Kosova never was part of Serbia, it was self-constuitive part of ex Yugoslavia, never part of serbia, and when serbs in 1990 by force have change the Yu resulution the war start in all part of Yu,
So, reporters, read before you put your pen on,
