Kosovo's declaration of independence destabilizes Europe

An article By Chris Marsden 18 February 2008

Yesterdays declaration of independence from Serbia by Kosovos parliament brings the world a step closer to another war on European soil. The move has been prepared and encouraged by the United States and the European powers in a deliberate attempt to stoke hostilities with Russia.

Kosovan Prime Minister Hacim Thaci declared The independence of Kosovo marks the end of the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, while Serbias Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica called Kosovo a false state. The unilateral move by Kosovo is expected to win the support of the US and the EU today, in the face of strenuous objections from both Serbia and Russia that this action is a flagrant breach of international law.

Kosovo has long been the focus of bitter conflict between the Serbian government and separatist forces from the territorys majority ethnic Albanians, most notably the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). These conflicts were utilised by the Western powers to facilitate the break up of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and thereby secure their domination of a region considered strategic in securing control of oil, gas and mineral deposits in territories previously dominated by the Soviet Union.

The KLA was secretly armed and trained by the US and Germany, while Washington officially designated it as a terrorist organisation funded by heroin trafficking. In 1996, it began targeting Serb police units in Kosovo, sparking a military conflict with the Serbian regime of Slobodan Milosevic that, by 1998, saw the province divided along ethnic lines. The KLA took control of between 25 to 40 percent of Kosovo in mid-1998 before Serb forces wrested the KLA-held area back. The imminent defeat of the KLA prompted direct intervention by NATO in 1999, justified in the name of opposing ethnic cleansing and atrocities by Serbian forces.

The war ended on June 10 after a 78-day aerial bombardment of Serbian forces and Serbia itself. Its end saw a military standoff between British and Russian forces at Pristina airport.

1. Kosovo 2. South Ossetia 3. Abkasia

Who's next?
4. Republika Srpska? (I REALLY HOPE SO!) 5. The Basques? 6. Catalonia? 7. VERMONT - US 8. ALASKA - US 9. VIRGINIA - US 10. TEXAS - US 11. MINNESOTA - US 12. Tibet 13. Palestine (over 50 percent of US states want their independence, and have a succession party "an independence party" in their state. There is growing amount of support towards independence in the States, and has been for many years now. Its only that today the situation has become a very realistic one.)
The list practically goes on for miles. So i probably will update this very soon these are just the few places i've been observing lately. But one thing is for sure, in a couple of short years, perhaps months, chaos will consume Europe. Because this is a very dangerous issue that will never go away.

I'm on the side of the Serbs.

[truthvspropaganda]

you might wanna be careful, some idiot might call you "un-American" for using your brain and not acting like a sheep when it comes to lies the government/media has told over the years.

[CanalMEL]

So what if Catalonia get its independence? They diserve it as much as other nations

[truthvspropaganda]

Thats my point, these Albanians already had a home, its called ALBANIA! Some of these people DESERVE to be independent. Even though i love Spain :(

[goldenboy883]

It's not the same Kosova with all these issues. Even Montenegro which are very similar with you Serbs recognized Kosova as a sovereign state.

[truthvspropaganda]

The only reason they did was because they were pressured by the US, and 34 people were injured in a protest that same day. Kosovo is not a country and it never will be one, because as long as even one superpower does not recognize it, its not real. And in this case 75% of the world does not! The reality is Kosovo is a terrorist state, and in all honestly i have no hatred for the innocent, but i do for the government and the KLA.

--- IF KOSOVO is independent , I AGREE , BUT than SERBIAN REUBLIC in BOSNIA is idependent  too .

[crucifiedkosovo]

Bosnia is already in the process of declaring independence.

[aviomaster]

--- SERBIAN Republic in BOSNIA wants independence .. WE will declare independence if KOSOVO can we can too .. WE do not want to live in BOSNIA . OUR rights have been violated too .

[aviomaster]

--- INDEPENDENT KOSOVO , Independent Serbian Republic in BOSNIA . Independent Ossetia and Abhazia . IS that fair .. I think YES ,, BUT, USA recognized KOSOVO but does not want to recognize Independent Serbian Republic in BOSNIA . or Abhazia and Ossetia . USA is loosing it's mind ,,, 1999 bombing of SERBIA was a terrorist act ,.

[CRAPCANNONS]

What a mess.

[mikkitiny]

americans fell victims of their own ignorance and hipocrisy. by supporting obviously terroristic organization KLA against serbian state americans lost any right to judge and decide for others. they are bankrupts although they do not realize that.
