Serbia: Its the new Albania.

On the same day, Angela Merkel, the German chancellor who is currently the chair of the EU, flies to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, in which the future of Kosovo will be a key item on the agenda.

Officials in Berlin say Mrs Merkel will seek to persuade Mr Putin to play a positive role over Kosovo, both in persuading any Serbian government to negotiate in good faith and in backing, or at least allowing, a United Nations Security Council resolution to underpin future independence. But that now seems to be in doubt.

German officials say Mrs Merkel will be blunt. “If the Russians cannot help, then they should get out of the way,” it is said in Berlin. But the mood in Moscow is scarcely so helpful.

Who should allow a United Nations Security Council resolution to underpin future independence? Perhaps Germany and company need to read/re-read UN1244!

But no, Russia should rollover and allow the Germanic program of dismantling Serbia/Yugoslavia to continue.

Then we have the American Germanophile bozo chiming in.

“To have Russia messing around in Serbia has a 1914 ring to it,” he added, referring to the events leading to the outbreak of the first world war.

Was that 1914 or the 1940's? Nazi Germany's "Greater Albania" has a familiar ring to it.
