A new statement today from the 25-nation Steering Group for the “International Civilian Office” (ICO) confirms that it is possible that ICO could end the years of “supervised independence” in Kosovo later this year.
The Steering Group says that the Kosovo government is to “start preparations for an organized end to supervised independence” by the end of 2012, saying it would transform Kosovo into a “normal European state.”
But the statelet still claimed by Serbia has little international recognition, including from two permanent UN Security Council members, Russia and China. Kosovo’s NATO-mandated secession from Serbia in the midst of a NATO occupation remains controversial, particularly as a number of ethnic Serbian towns were blocked them from trading with their neighbors still inside Serbia. NATO troops continue to enforce the closed border.
The Steering Group went on to warn Serbia against allowing Kosovar Serbs, who remain Serbian citizens, to vote in the upcoming Serbian elections. They also warned Serbia to remove all police from Kosovo territory. Serbia insists it has no police in Kosovo.
"transforming Kosovo into a “normal European state” sounds good and like freedom. But in fact it means a broken peace treaty that ended the war in 1999. It has been made between NATO and Serbia and guarantees that Kosovo remains part of Serbia and that Kosovo has to be demilitarized and people there should live together peacefully. This still sounds nice.
But the so-called "Kosovo liberation army" (KLA) instead of disarming them, has been turned into "POLICE" which now could mistreat and kill Serbs and other unwanted people without the existence of Serb security forces who could protect them. This was the first and the real "ethnic cleansing" of the Kosovo. It was initiated by NATO and carried out under the eyes of NATO troops.
Only the concentration of Serbs in those towns in the north of Kosovo – near the TREPCA mine complex – did protect them somewhat.
Since USA also did build up with Camp Bondsteel, its biggest military base in the region and gave exactly the bosses of this Kosovo drug dealers (Thaci, formerly called "the snake" since he killed of Serbs, but also many of its own competitors) an independent state shows how important it is for key drug dealers and for the constantly delivered opium from the US occupied Afghanistan to have even an own state.
Since Afghan opium is about 90 percent of world opium, it is no problem to have such a small state of just 1.7 mil of people. It is the main drug hub to deliver to and to destroy Europe and on the other hand to finance massive and expensive CIA- and other dirty actions (like the current so-called "Arab revolutions" which no "democratic" state can officially finance.
So a criminal drug dealer gang is ruling this NATO -occupied Kosovo in order to deal US Afghan opium.
Those drug dealer government has so much money that it is no problem to hand over NATO investment groups the pearl of Yugoslav wealth, the TREPCA mine complex, which is located in the North where the Serb Kosovars live.
Serbia would never give the war mongers the TREPCA mine complex, which not only covers the mines of many very valueable ores, but also the refining industry which makes ready to sell raw materials out of it. It was the main source of foreign currency for former Yugoslavia.
Why is this background and fight for the drug hub and the wealth of Kosovo raw materials covered and just such nice sounding making a “normal European state” ?
I regard it not only as spam news, but as manipulation and covering what really happens.
Beware that we now soon can have "Serb unrest" there and a "government" that makes "law enforcement" – but in reality it is just the economic war over a valuable mine complex carried out by the US drug dealer state Kosovo.
Excellent post.
Hopefully one step nearer the Serbs reclaiming their historic province stripped away from them by NATO forces in an illegal attack.
Kosovo is Serbia.
In the lawless north of Kosovo, one cannot even buy a kidney! They clearly need law, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_%26_Hart .
Well a Serbian one anyway.
Taken from a live kidnapped Serb to order.
Supervised Independence. Orwell would like that one …
There is nothing normal about Kosovo. It is the mongoloid child of US imperialism.
