Serbia warns EU not to send mission to Kosovo


The rapidly deteriorating situation in Kosovo holds great danger, not only to the stability of the Balkans as a whole, but to the rest of Europe.

The reason?

The reason is the determination of the Bush Administration, in conjunction with the EU Commission, to demonise the Serbian people.  Why?  For desiring to preserve their country’s borders, whilst at the same time lionising the unspeakably vicious Islamic militia’s of the ethnic Albanians (who have of course been happily increasing their numbers for a long, long time - until they became a majority and effectively occupied  Kosovo).

Just imagine if  a part of mainland Britain, which had over time become a predominantly Islamic enclave, decided it would become independent, and called in the UN to assist them in forming their own government.  We wouldn’t like it very much, would we?

So why should we expect the Serbs to react any differently?

Reuters news agency reported earlier today that the Serbian Prime Minister, Vojislav Kostunica, has warned the European Union on Tuesday that sending a supervisory mission to the breakaway province of Kosovo could damage relations with Serbia.   You can be sure this is an understatement, worthy of any self respecting British Diplomat!

Prime Minister Kostunica  states that (Serbia) “emphatically rejects in advance an unlawful decision on the arrival of an EU mission” and “expects the EU to respect its stance that a EU mission cannot come to its territory, Kosovo, without a new Security Council resolution,” .

Yet the EU also seems to be intent on moving to a position that would allow the bloc to take over supervision of the province. Without the consent of Belgrade!

This will be anathema to the Serbian government and its people, and it will be fought.  Most likely, violently.  If that happens, Russia might well come to the aid of Serbia, as it has promised to do, and that would put Russia and NATO on a collision course with unknown consequences.

  2. I winged an email off to the office of the Serbian Ambassador in London recently to let them know how much the majority of normal people here and in Europe, hate the EU with a passion. Ignore Europe and the wretced EU carrot of membership and stick with Russia, your natural ally, I added. I did not expect and did not get an acknowledgement or reply. Suspect he’s somewhat busy trying to do his bit to save his Country while we in the EU and the US try to take it apart. I would not want to be an Albanian if the Russians come to town - not that the Serbs need the Russians as long as NATO minds its own business. I know the Russians aren’t everybody’s idea of an ally but they were ours once. They look after their own and their friends - and more important, know how to deal with their enemies. Keep your friends close but the Russians closer comes to mind. It worked for us in WW2, a war we would never have won without them - if we did in fact win it, looking at us now. Kosovo is as much a part of Serbia as Kent is to Britain, I read recently. I’m glad the writer did not say, Bradford, Oldham, Luton etc. If we don’t watch out, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will seem like a walk in the proverbial park compared to what the Balkans can serve up.

    RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin showed his support for Serbia’s position on Kosovo at a Kremlin meeting with Serbian counterpart Boris Tadic, where they also signed a major energy accord between the two nations.

    Mr Tadic thanked Mr Putin for backing Belgrade’s opposition to independence for the province of Kosovo, where prime minister Hashim Thaci says a unilateral declaration of independence could be made in days.

    “Serbia very much respects Russia’s position as regards Kosovo. Without this position Serbia would have more difficulty defending its interests in Kosovo,” Mr Tadic said.

    “Serbia has consistently defended its interests in Kosovo, relying on international law, and will never do otherwise,” said Mr Tadic, who was accompanied by Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica.

    The issue of Kosovo’s future pits Russia against the West in a political confrontation with echoes of the diplomatic wrangling over NATO’s 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia and before that the Cold War.

    Russia, with historical ties to Serbia, has stressed its opposition to any unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo, while the United States and several European countries have signalled they are ready to accept such a move.

    The Kremlin said it saw no “reasonable alternative” to a negotiated resolution with a leading role played by the United Nations - a reminder of Russia’s ability to veto any UN recognition of Kosovan independence.
