My grandpa's best friends were a Greek and a Turk, one - a Christian, the other - a Muslim. Grandpa was a Bulgarian. Brothers, do not let any nationalistic interests and religions to divide us, the Balkan people!

@Istanbul1981 Then every minority in a country in the world would be able to cause seperataist sentiment and there would sptrout over 2000 new countries in this world which would lead to world wide wars. What has been done to Serbia by the western politics and western interests has been criminal and one day they will feel the stupidity of what they have done on their skin. Kosovo was never albanian land, and Serbia will never recognise it as a sovering state.

@erotica53 For God and nothing more. God is the only interest I have as an Orthodox. All other things are earthly and are of no power in Heaven. "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed." John 6:27

Nothing lasts, except in our God and Lord Christ. Only through Him there is life. God always comes first!

As far as self determination is concerned, how about; Kurds in Turkey and Iran, Irish in Northern Ireland, Basques, Tamils, South Osetians, Abkhazians, Russinians, Transnistrians, Corsicans and others who we never learn about?

Matters in Balkan have been overly simplified, unfortunately.

I agree. Jugoslavia should have staued. I lived in it and in all honesty I can vauch that ALL nations regardless of their size had full rights and all were equal. In Kosovo at that time Albanians were even in beter position as Tito encouraged them to multiply and he was the godfather to every 9th child in a family. Anyway, those were the naive days of our existance.

All I really wanted to point out is that this situation is as far from solution as ever.

Indeed. Kosovar nationality (as a branch of Albanian nationality) is rather a recent phenomenon and it is based mostly (but not only) based on geography. Otherwise most Albanians in Kosovo consider themselves Albanians just like most Kosovar Serbs consider themselves Serbs. But the practical consideration is that the Kosovar Albanians constitute an overwhelming majority in Kosovo. I am inclined to think that they are entitled to their internal self-determination.
