Let's not single out the 150,000-odd ordinary Serbs in Kosova who have been alternatingly deceived, exploited, and betrayed by the politicians of Serbia.<BR/><BR/>The Serb minority has every right to be anxious and more right now; at some level, I'm sure many of them realize that Serbs in Serbia proper don't really care about them except in the abstract. <BR/><BR/>Placing blame on the Serb minority is misplaced, and plays right into the hands of the elites who have manipulated this situation for too long.Kirk Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879908614214050994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23301331.post-32333964999208692382008-03-05T13:16:00.000-05:002008-03-05T13:16:00.000-05:00There is about 5% Serbs and 92% Albanians in Koso...There is about 5% Serbs and 92% Albanians in Kosovo. Northern Serb-controlled Kosovo was ethnically cleansed from Albanians and it comprises about 15% of Kosovo's territory. It is rather unique for 5% of minority to make so much trouble for an independent state. I cannot think of any cases in the world where 5% (or probably less than 5%) of people comprising one country can make so much trouble for that country. It's unbelievable and NATO, UNMIK, UN, and most importantly the Government of Kosovo must take control over their affairs and over their territory. This mess caused by 5% minority must not be tolerated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
