Dušan Proroković (DSS), a secretary with the Ministry for Kosovo, said Sunday there was nothing wrong with the request to allow the return of Serbian security personnel to some parts of Kosovo, "for it is in line with the UN resolution 1244".
According to him, “if KFOR is unable to fulfil its mandate, protect non-Albanian residents in the province and stop ethnic cleansing and violence, our security forces should be entrusted with the task.”
He said that the talk about the possibility of partioning Kosovo was an attempt to plant an idea that was not Belgrade's and added that it “represents an exit strategy for some of Albanian politicians who realized their insistence on certain things produced no results.”
“Even if we were to consider partition, we will be introducing into negotiations a new category that disrupts international legal order and involves alteration of a sovereign state’s borders.”
Proroković said that the partition of the province, along with any sort of independence, would additionally weaken the region and push the Balkans into long-term instability, which would suit no one.
Both Belgrade and Priština have rejected the possibility of partition. UNMIK has also denied it would allow any Serbian police and army to redeploy in the province.
Ping!
Let’s hope the Serbs come back to handle the Islamic problem in the Balkans. Clinton’s nation building failed measuarbly but no one in the media wishes to speak of it.
By the way, how long have our troops been in Serbia and Kosovo?
Thats a good question that no DemonRAT will want to answer.
They've been in Kosovo since about mid June 1999, so over 8 years and 2 months, but they've been in Bosnia since a few years earlier than that (late 1995).
