June 27, 2007 -- In a statement for the Serbian news agency, Tanjug, Serbian Prime Minister's Advisor Srdjan Djuric said that the government has received a proposal from the US Ambassador to Serbia, Michael Polt, in which the "US would withdraw from Kosovo".
"Serbian Government has for the first time heard a new interesting proposal presented by American Ambassador Michael Polt, that the US would withdraw from Kosovo along with the simultaneous American accepting of Kosovo remaining an integral part of Serbia,” said Djuric.
"Serbian Government is ready to talk with American officials on the presented proposal,” added Djuric.
American Ambassador Polt has not confirmed nor denied Djuric's statement.
RTS/Tanjug/UNMIK/
Maybe someone finally realized that an independent Kosovo would quickly become a jihadist state; a European version of Gaza.
If this is true, it’s the first good news on Kosovo since clinton (with plenty of help and egging on from Blair and Schroeder), fought on the wrong side.
I hope it’s confirmed.
Interestingly, if this were to happen it would not lead to a media chorus insisting that it means we "lost" in Kosovo. Nobody would equate a later withdrawal with "losing" the earlier war.
The same is not true in Iraq. If/when our troops exit, everyone will insist it means we "lost" "The Iraq War".
What is the difference, you ask? I mean, besides the letters that go after the names of the respective Presidents who initiated these hostilities? Well... there is none.
Do I misremember or did not Clinton say that we would only be there a few months?
The place is a quagmire. Get out. Oh, thats right, the facts do not apply to democrat presidents.
De Gucht is Belgium's foreign minister
the US will not withdraw....as per murtha...the US will redploy!!!! maybe these troops should redeploy to the US-meixcan border???
Who’s hiding those Crusade outfits???
sounds good to me, if Serbia remains in control
When the outcome’s predetermined, what’s to talk?
Nothing human caused is predetermined.
Like Agim Ceku’s “assasination” a couple years back, too good to be true.
I don’t believe this for a minute. Wait for the traitors from the State Dept. to chime in.
3,500 dead American servicemen. That's the difference.
There's plenty to argue about both conflicts, but to say that Kosovo was "won" in the same sense Iraq was "won" is simply delusional.
This likely going to bust loose very soon --maybe the next day or two. That group of Serb young people who went to Kosovo to re-enact The Battle of Kosovo on Vidovdan -- NATO says it is going to stop them The media is already calling these "re-enactors", "paramilitary".
I was referring to this oddity...
“now support a new round of talks without a predetermined outcome”
IT may turn out NOT to be a re-enactment.. Lord help those Serbian kids, please.
That's a difference in cost but it doesn't pertain to whether we won/lost.
There's plenty to argue about both conflicts, but to say that Kosovo was "won" in the same sense Iraq was "won" is simply delusional.
If one was won, why wasn't the other? Or maybe you think neither was won (which would be a defensible claim I suppose).
It may be odd but it’s certainly new.
And I’m not buying it yet, nope.
