This is a totally biased story. Serbs are causing all the trouble? I suppose all the murders and church burnings by the Muslims were OK? And the unilateral and illegal “declaration of independence”?
The UN never authorized the attack on Serbia, but by consenting to police Kosovo they too have become complicit in these crimes.
And given the Kosovan precedent, why isn’t it equally legal for Mitrovica to declare independence, eh?
I wonder how the stupid people took over the world.
Precisely because the Russians and Serbs say Kosovo independence is not legal. If it's not legal then where is the legal precedent? It certainly hasn't been recognized by the UN. If Kosovo independence is illegal, then so would Mitrovica independence be illegal. For Serbia to recognize Mitrovica independence, they would have to recognize Kosovo independence first.
More simple for Mitrovica to re-iterate that they are a part of Serbia, regardless of what Kosovo thinks.
Not saying they should do it. I just can’t get over the one-sided stupidity of the UN. They just stand there while the Albanian terrorists run amok, and then they bitch when the Serbs suggest they might not lie down like good dogs and roll over.
The UN is obviously biased pro-Islam.
Therefore, we need to just classify it as a hostile entity.
The UN is also bitching that Kosovo is passing legislation that is not valid because it is not ratified by the “supervising international authority.” They’re just bitching because nobody is paying any attention to them. The UN’s irrelevance is well deserved.
There was a big window of opportunity when Bush could have dismissed the UN, or at least made a big cut in our contribution, after the oil for food scandal. For the first time, American public opinion was very disillusioned with the UN.
Regretably, he did nothing, let the whole affair drop out of sight, and it looks like we’re stuck with it for another four years, at least.
UN Resolution 1244 is the closest thing to international law on record regarding the status of Kosovo and it clearly recognizes that Kosovo-Metohija is a province of Serbia.
It all depends on whether one supports the rule of law, in which case Kosovo is Serbian, or thuggish anarchy, in which case NATO tries to appease the Jihadists.
Can’t say I’m a big fan of the UN myself. “International law” is an oxymoron.
Maybe so, but we agreed to UN Resolution 1244 at the end of Clinton’s bombing of Serbia (which did get Monica off the front page).
So now the question is simple, can the word of the United States of America be trusted, yes or no?
btt
Can a promise from Billary Clinton be trusted? I think you know the answer to that.
Well, "they" promised full support for an "independent Kosovo" and look where we are now.
No, they were the ones who agreed to the UN resolution. Now you expect America to keep promises Billary made to the UN? Fat chance.
The one-sided stupidity of the UN is apparently shared by the US.
And, to make myself clear, yes, you are correct, it is stupidity.
Actually, I expect America would be smarter than to support a bunch of Jihadist illegal immigrants from grabbing someone else’s property.
“This is a totally biased story. Serbs are causing all the trouble? I suppose all the murders and church burnings by the Muslims were OK”
Of course it’s OK. Muslims will be Muslims!
What other treaties and international agreements that the Clinton administration negotiated do you think that the United States should also ignore. If we don’t keep our word when we sign international agreements then we are no better than the Germans at the start of World War I when Kaiser Wilhelm declared that the treaty which recognized the nuetrality of Belgium was just a scrap of paper. I disagree with a lot of what Clinton did but in foreign policy matters we can’t have each new administration feeling that they are not bound by any international agreements which were signed by the previous administration - that would be anarchy.
