Independent Kosova now!

While the second round of voting in the Kosova municipal elections is under way, a great concern is expressed by many European capitals about Kosova’s forthcoming Solemn Independence. As a matter of fact, Kosova is not a problem for the Kosovars, but for the international manipulators of biased developments.

From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. throughout most of Kosova’s provinces, 539 polling stations with 2095 voting booths have been open, according to the Central Electoral Commission. The second round of elections does not take place in Ljeposavić, Zubin Potok and Zvečane, three northern Kosova municipalities, where UNMIK chief Joachim Ruecker decided against confirming the results from the first round, following the boycott of the November 17 round by the Kosova Serbs. This week, Ruecker decided to extend the mandate of the current local authorities in question for another six months.

A total of 46 candidates stand in the elections. The main battleground is in Priština, the capital, between Democratic Union of Kosova candidate Isa Mustafa and Democratic Party of Kosova candidate Fatmir Lima. The Kosova Police Service (KPS) has announced that 7000 of its members will assist, secure and support the Central Election Commission and the OSCE, as organizers of the elections, in the running of today’s ballot. According to KPS spokesman Veton Elshani, the police will be on patrol at all 2095 voting booths.

A few days before the UN deadline on finding a solution between the Serb minority (less than 10%) and the outright majority of the ethnic Albanians on the future status of Kosova, the outgoing prime minister of Kosova, Agim Ceku, told EU Observer "We are not willing to accept any continuation of discussion and any delay of the declaration" (http://euobserver.com/9/25269/?rk=1). This demonstrates the exasperation of the indigenous Albanians of Kosova, who after having been long massacred by the racist Serbs, faced the European conformist biases, and the immoral link made between their Right to Independence and the morally inexistent notion of ‘European Unanimous Decision’.

Premier Ceku said that the move is foreseen for "very shortly after 10 December" and added that it would be "along the line" envisaged in Brussels, around January or February.

In a comical effort to avoid a clear solution based on ideas and principles, the European Commission demanded informally that the member states use all their diplomatic efforts to convince the Kosovo Albanians something incredibly shameful, namely to delay the Declaration of Independence at least until after the presidential elections in Serbia that are scheduled for 20 January and 3 February.

According to various diplomatic rumors, if Pristina accepts such a plan, the European Commission will consent that Kosova’s independence is the result of "coordinated" procedure with the international community, although lacking the formal blessing of the UN's Security Council. It would also immediately implement the practical proposals of an independence blueprint drawn up by UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari, especially on the protection of national minorities, while the EU would then take over the chairing of civilian and police missions in Kosovo.

Some explanation of this complicated approach to something that is primarily simple and clear was given by a European diplomat who pointed out that "with all this preceding, the actual announcement of declaration and Kosovo claiming to have coordinated it with the international community, the idea is that the EU would then formally 'take note' of the declaration - as earlier in the case of Montenegro - and leave it up to member states to recognize it or not".

Utter, undeserved, mistreatment of the Kosovars

Kosova has been one of the most mistreated nations of Europe, and the reason for this is the racist, anti-Albanian and Anti-Muslim, policy of several European countries. As shame and disgrace due to 51 years of European Manichaeism, Kosovars attested first the military impotence of the useless European leaders  who had no courage to erase Belgrade from the map – as they should, fighting Serbian Neo-Nazism – in the same way Dresden was obliterated in WW II.

It was only human for the Kosovars and the other Albanians to highly value the American – NATO involvement that brought Justice back to Balkans; but this human attitude became a reason for deep anti-Kosovar and anti-Albanian hatred among the perverse European leaders, who are reluctant to see within the EU an outstanding and dynamic nation that happens to be at the same time preponderantly Muslim and fervently pro-American.

As ignominy and moral collapse of the European Civilization, the Kosovars attested for many long years an incredible equation of Principles and Ideals with mean diplomatic interests and biased nationalistic demands. However, there is no Right to Independence to hinge on existing political agendas or a hypothetical need for equilibrium. Either the right to National Independence is a fully pledged privilege for all or no nation should exist on the planet.

There cannot be nations to which the Right to Independence is easily accorded, and nations that are told that their Independence may cause … problems!

Whether the Babel Tower of European Union is able to shape one voice or not is not a matter of concern for the Kosovars, and for every righteous person in this world; every nation and every administration will be judged after their policies and the ideals their political choices serve.

Kosova, Transnistria, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

As a matter of fact, EU will not achieve unity on this subject. For obvious reasons, Romania and Cyprus will never accept a move that although rightful and fair, will trigger undesired developments. Kosova’s secession from Serbia, on the basis of ethnic and religious difference of the local population, would automatically empower the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Transnistria to demand similar treatment.

Romania standing by Moldova wants to thwart the international recognition of the small (550000 people) and oblong country which, inhabited mainly by Russians and Ukrainians, seceded from Moldova in 1990.

Similarly, the chauvinist and racist president of the southern province of Cyprus pursues his suicidal hatred against the Turkish Cypriots, who declared independence and shaped the northern state in the divided island, following the violation of status quo by Cypriot Neo-Nazi elements on July 15, 1974. The Turkish speaking Muslim Cypriots had been terribly persecuted for 14 years, and their nefarious experience under the Makarios regime convinced them that they had to achieve nationhood to ensure peace and concord.

An international recognition of Kosova would herald the rightful entrance of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Transnistria into the international community.

Except Romania and South Cyprus, there are several European Union member states that mainly call for consensus. Slovakia is among them. Speaking to journalists after meeting Slovak prime minister Robert Fico last Tuesday (4 December), European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said: "it is my duty to ask all governments of Europe, including the Slovak government to reach a consensus on Kosovo"; he went on stating the following: "the Americans have a position, the Russians have a position. I hope that Europeans will have a position as well, if needed". Premier Fico replied: "I would consider it a huge mistake if the EU got divided over Kosovo. It would make us weak and I have a feeling some superpowers are relaying on this weakness even ahead."

The Serbian Menace

The chauvinist majority of Serbs, and their Neo-Nazi leaders threaten with another Kosova war, clearly demonstrating that they live in another era, that they did not learn any lesson from the disastrous fate they encountered after 1989, and that the international community, EU included, should keep them in long-term quarantine.

Serbian deputy prime minister Bojidar Djelic spoke out once more against Kosova’s independence. After so many long decades of Yugoslavian oppression, after a decade of unprecedented Serbian barbarism, anti-Albanian racism, and tyranny, that little Himmler type of guy had the guts to pretend that Serbia was offering Kosovo "a level of self-government that no other region in no other country has seen". After the Serb-masterminded bloodbath of Kosova, Serb premier Djelic dared say that all Belgrade is asking for is "not to break up our country".

In the same way Goebbels had not realized that for the massacred Jews of Germany, Germany was not "their" country, chauvinist Serb premier Djelic cannot understand that for the outright majority of the Kosovars, Serbia is not "their" country. 

US, Russian and Muslim interests coincide in Kosova

We have reasons to believe that it would be a serious mistake for the Russians to further stick to their alliance with isolated, impotent and incorrigible Belgrade; NATO will defend Kosova’s integrity, as Jaap de Hoop Scheffer has repeatedly made clear.

Any Serbian reaction will be met with instant NATO reprisals and it is not the moment for Russia to enter in conflicts with Muslim countries like Turkey and Iran that may be valuable allies in the future.

On the other hand, Serbia would never be a trusted ally for Moscow, as Belgrade is highly inclined to play the Anti-Muslim role tailored by France for the Serbs in the Balkans.

An alliance with Serbia would be for Russia a safe ‘return’ to the Belle Epoque; dropping Serbia for the sake of a vast continental alliance with China, Muslim Central Asia, Iran, and Turkey is the only way for Putin to outmaneuver the anti-Russian plans of Europe.

In Kosova, Russian, American and Muslim interests do coincide.
