BRUSSELS — Serbia on Monday formally proposed dividing newly independent Kosovo along ethnic lines, a move that was immediately rebuffed by Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian leadership in Pristina.
The proposal, submitted to the United Nations, is the culmination of a campaign by Serbia to entrench its political and administrative control over the northern part of Kosovo, which has a Serbian majority. Analysts said it was a largely symbolic gesture. Kosovo’s leaders have said they will not accept partition, and European countries and the United States would reject such a proposal at the United Nations Security Council.
“This proposal is a provocation from Belgrade, and we reject it 100 percent,” Kosovo’s deputy prime minister, Hajredin Kuqi, said in a telephone interview from Pristina. “We want to help create cooperation between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo — not divisions.”
Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia on Feb. 17, was placed under United Nations administration in 1999, after NATO intervened to halt repression of the ethnic Albanians, who make up 95 percent of Kosovo’s population, by Slobodan Milosevic, then the Serbian leader.
Serbia regards Kosovo as its medieval heartland and rejects its independence, contending that the declaration was a breach of international law.
The proposal, which United Nations officials said they were reviewing, was submitted to coincide with the ninth anniversary of the NATO bombing of Serbia. The document acknowledges United Nations jurisdiction over Kosovo, The Associated Press reported, but calls for the Serbian majority to take charge of border customs, judiciary and police services in the northern part of Kosovo, which accounts for 15 percent of Kosovo’s territory.
Serbia’s effort to assert control over northern Kosovo has contributed to violent confrontations in recent weeks, including a clash on March 17 in which peacekeepers seized a courthouse in the northern city of Mitrovica that was being occupied by Serbian protesters. A United Nations police officer was killed and dozens of others injured in the fighting.
Serbs have burned customs and border posts and taken over rail lines.
The government in Belgrade has also sought to strengthen parallel institutional structures governing education and health care in northern Kosovo, and dozens of ethnic Serbs have abandoned Kosovo’s multiethnic police force and pledged their allegiance to Serbia.
Many Western analysts and leaders say that Serbia lost its moral and legal right to govern Kosovo after Mr. Milosevic’s campaign against the territory’s ethnic Albanians.
But Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica of Serbia said the NATO bombing in response had been part of an attempt by the alliance to take control of Kosovo. “Now it is more than clear that the merciless destruction of Serbia in the NATO bombing had only one goal, and that is to turn Kosovo into the first NATO state in the world,” Mr. Kostunica said in a statement on Monday.

It was the only thing that can be done now short of a world war... Bloody mess and shame on the international community.
Western Europe deserve to be over run with minorities that don't integrate, to hell with their hypocrisy and cowardice in front of America.

Kosova will stay united because that is what the US wants.
However when Serbs speaking of taking northern Kosova, the Albanians speaking of taking the mainly Albanian areas of Preseva in southern Serbia which is still part of Serbia.
Kosova was a unitary administrative entity which enjoyed autonomy and semi-republic status in Yugoslavia. However Milosevic unfairly stripped it of autonomy in the 1980s. Any fair solution to the Kosova issue especially bearing in mind there are about 4-6 times more people in Kosova than in Montenegro is that.
1. At the very least the 2-3 million Kosovars should have enjoyed autonomy seeing that the half a million or so Montenegrins had full republic status.
2. Kosova should have had full republic status after 1999 just like Montenegro.
3. Kosova should have become independent.
For 2-3 million Albanians to be under the centralized rule of Belgrade would have been unfair and impractical. The Bosnian Serbs did not want to live in a multi-ethnic Bosnia and ethnically cleansed Croats and Bosniaks and created their own ethnically pure republic and if they did not have to live under the central rule of Sarajevo there was/is even less reason for Albanians to have lived under Belgrade's control.
I doubt any of the Albanian-haters on this forum would be able to provide a sensible or feasible solution to the Kosova issue and there is no doubt that their racist hatred of Albanians who some of them call "coakroaches" (sounds very Hitler-esque) would make them favour the genocide or mass ethnic cleansing of Albanians. Anyway too bad, Kosova is independent.

population of kossovo is near 1.7-1.9 million not 2.1 nor 3.........
it would have been 2.1 if the 300 000 serbs that they left kossovo remained and the 200 -300 000 albanians havent immigrated abroad..
in the partition of kossovo is only fair to be included the serb muslim gorani..
Re: Serbia Formally Proposes Ethnic Partition of Kosovo
March 26 2008, 3:11 AM
A while back I stated that the best solution , given this fked up situation with the U.S. backing a completely unjust situation, would be partition. This never happened. But this is still the only way to ensure peace. The Serbs IMO should get the entire Mitrovica region. A system of cantons will not work in Kosovo. So the Serbs in other enclaves around the region would have to leave and come to live in south Mitrovica. The Albanians who live in the south of Mitrovica would have to leave and and be dispersed in the ex-Serb enclaves. This is fair for all parties.

KOSOVO: MITROVICA SERBS CALL FOR BREAKING TIES WITH ALBANIA
(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, MARCH 25 - A new protest rally against the secession of Kosovo from Belgrade organised in northern Mitrovica, the heart of the main Serbian stronghold in the former province and last week scene of bloody clashes between protesters and international intervention forces, today ended peacefully. Several thousand people took part in the demonstration, addressed by a local leader who called on Serbia to break any ties with Tirana, following the recent information concerning the existence on Albanian territory of mass graves of Kosovo Serbian prisoners dating back to the 1999 war. The participants shouted slogans against the unilateral independence declared by Pristina on February 17 and against the international police of UNMIK and the NATO-led military contingent KFOR, accused of suppressing last Monday's demonstration. Dozens of KFOR troops, including Italian units, watched the crowd. Milan Ivanovic, radical leader of the Serbian community in Kosovska Mitrovica, addressed the authorities in Belgrade urging them to be more determined and not hesitate to keep armed forces ready to protect the Serbians in Kosovo from "new aggression". Ivanovic called for economic boycott on the part of Serbia of Slovenia and Croatia - the first former Yugoslav republics to recognise Kosovňs secession - and for breaking ties with Albania: a target of fiery polemic in Serbia after the sensational revelations contained in a book by Carla Del Ponte, former Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), concerning the alleged transfer in the end of the 1990s of hundreds of Serbian prisoners, captured by the then Kosovo guerrillas of UCK and held in Albanian camps, who were used as human reservoirs in an infamous organ trafficking.

BTW other non albanian comnunities of Kosovo are also the Janjevci (slav catholics)
Before 1991, there were 8,062 Janjevci in Kosovo. In 1998 about 1,300 remained. After the Kosovo War, in Janjevo itself only around 350 remained, the rest fled mostly to Croatia.
FREEDOM FOR MUSLIM GORANIS FROM THE ALBANIAN OPPRESSION
The UN administration in Kosovo, UNMIK, has redrawn internal boundaries in the province in such a way that a Gorani-majority municipality no longer exists. The Gora was combined with the neighbouring Albanian-populated region of Opolje (some 20,000 people) into a new subdivision named Dragaš, which now has an Albanian majority.
In 1999 after the NATO bombing campaign on FRY, the UNMIK took over international administration of the Serbian province of Kosovo. Their own municipality was redrawn and Dragaš established, in which now Albanians are in majority. The Gora has received migrations of Albanians from Albania, and reports of killings and mistreatment of the Gorani by Albanian paramilitaries were subsequently recorded. In 2007 the Kosovar provisional institutions opened a school in Gora that teaches Bosnian language, an act which sparked a lot of anger amongst the Gorani population, added by the fact that the Principle declares as an Albanian. Many Gorans refuse to send their children to school for threats of assimilation and self-initially founded home schools for their young. In 1999 and over the years altogether, over 6,500 Gorans have fled to Serbia proper along with many Serb and Romany refugees.

East Timor as of now is a recognised country. The Aussies lookin up after their defence i guess.
But more importantly East Timor doesnt have Serbs runnin amok n threatening the country with sectarian violence. The Timorese ppl r poor, but atleast they have sumthing to call unity.
The Kosovovs folk have the Serbs, they r situated in the Balkans- politically unstable, plus they made a big mistake of pissing of the Russians.
Kosovo n the Balkans like i said before is just a game of chess between the big players, Russia n US. Their existence hardly matters to anybody.

the problem with east timor is that the u.n didnt promote a further disntagration of indonisia, a state only in name,since no indonesian nationality exist.
along east timor west timor, bali,papua malukas partly and islands around timor that dont have anything indonesian in them should have been liberated by a regime that chain all those non muslim nations by the force of arms not so long ago,...
and that doesn't stop with the 20 million non muslim nations of Indonesia but should go for further more muslim nations that are occupied by pancila sumatra fascists..

Are you actually kidding me? The Portuguese built the cities that stood there (granted past abuse, but the Indonesians were no liberators). The Indonesians cost the East Timorese 200,000 people over 30 years... they were oppressed, tortured, leveled entire villages and towns.
They were ungrateful? Ungrateful for forceful annexation, invasion from an aggressive country that had no right on Timorese land? You bitch about the US invasion of Iraq and try and defend Indonesia on what it did in East Timor?
Where did Indonesia get it's money? The US and Australia. You built nothing. You are not builders you are colonisers and a virus spreading to none Malay Muslim Islands. Indonesia takes millions in aid from the Australians... don't you forget that.
we just coming to save their's A$$,reluctantly,bcoz USA who told us to do that
This shows the total propaganda filled ignorance on the issue. The Indonesians lied and told the US and Australia the FRETLINs were Communist. They lied because they knew East Timor had resources and Australia shamefully did not argue, it would get the resources too (so that Australia wouldn't lobby against Indonesia).
Indonesia was brutal and disgusting. They did nothing for East Timor but rape it. I'm glad Australians are there now keeping the peace.

People don't have kids now? There was about 800,000 in the 70's and 1 million now... Yeah, tripled. Regardless there was no census in that area between the strife with Portugal (and civil war) and the Indonesian occupation.
Portugis is the one who ruined this place leaving this place into hells, and these timoreses theyself are not angel,u wouldnt want them as ur enemy
Who built the factories, grew the coffee farms and the built capital Dili? Get this... not Indonesia. As a matter of fact it is estimated 70% of East Timors infrastructure was destroyed by the Indonesian army... Good work colonisers. No better then European colonisers, except less competent.

and here for u a little bit education about ur Portugis the angel colonialist from Adam Schwarz's book,and u could find about this in alot source not only in his book
"For the Portuguese, East Timor remained little more than a neglected trading post until the late nineteenth century. Investment in infrastructure, health, and education was minimal. Sandalwood remained the main export crop with coffee exports becoming significant in the mid-nineteenth century. In places where Portuguese rule was asserted, it tended to be brutal and exploitative.",

Re: Serbia Formally Proposes Ethnic Partition of Kosovo

The Indonesian invasion of East Timor began on December 7 1975. Indonesian forces launched a massive air and sea invasion, known as Operasi Seroja, or 'Operation Komodo', almost entirely using US-supplied equipment.[7] Reported death tolls from the 24-year occupation range from 60,000 to 200,000. [8] A detailed statistical report prepared for the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation in East Timor cited a lower range of 102,800 conflict-related deaths in the period 1974-1999, namely, approximately 18,600 killings and 84,200 'excess' deaths from hunger and illness.[9]
From Wikipedia (yes copy paste that paragraph into Google it appears in Wikipedia), your same source you used. Also from the same source...
In late 1999, about 70% of the economic infrastructure of East Timor was destroyed by Indonesian troops and anti-independence militias, and 260,000 people fled westward. From 2002 to 2005, an international program led by the United Nations, manned by civilian advisers, 5,000 peacekeepers (8,000 at peak) and 1,300 police officers, substantially reconstructed the infrastructure. By mid-2002, all but about 50,000 of the refugees had returned.
There you go, I used the EXACT same source against you... Seems like you need to get your head out your ass.
There you go off calling the FRETLINS communist again when they are NOTHING like communists. You used that lie to invade East Timor for resources... Get over it. You are no better then colonisers and war barons.
