	Report
		Instead of becoming a NATO protected safe haven for all ethnic groups, Kosovo became a theater for brutal reprisals in which many innocent people lost their lives and dozens of valuable Christian monuments were turned into ashes.
		Well-informed sources in Kosovo state that Ekrem Luka is believed to be close to the president of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Hajradinaj, and other leaders of the former KLA from the Metohija region.
		In Kosovo today, we still have thousands of peacekeeping troops and civilians who are maintaining order, training police, helping to establish democratic institutions, and building the civil and penal codes that will make it possible for Kosovo to one day stand on its own.

		In 1946, Kosovo was an âautonomous provinceâ of the Republic of Serbia itself within the Socialist Federated Republic of Yugoslavia led by Marshall Josip Broz Tito.
		Kosovo Albanians continued their strategy of passive resistance to Belgrade whilst other parts of the SFRY were involved in civil war.
		Kosovo Albanians felt that their claims for independence had been ignored and they were now subject to indefinite rule and repression from Belgrade.

		Kosovo plans to hold its second election for the Serbian province's 120-member Assembly, which is made up of three ethnic Albanian parties with a power-sharing agreement and minority Serbs and other ethnic groups.
		The question mark over the future status of Kosovo is keeping away the investment that the province needs to address the moribund economy and 60-70 per cent unemployment.
		Kosovo remains a part of the loose federation of Serbia and Montenegro, but its leadership continues to seek independence.

		The main topics in their talks were the security situation in Kosovo, the Albanian leaders' support for the policy of UNMIK chief Michael Steiner, and the beginning of direct talks between Belgrade and Pristina.
		Daci said that the beginning of dialogue was not the problem, but the results, that the problem was not the dialogue with neighbors, but what Serbia's leadership would come forward with, if they still maintained their previous stands.
		Taci said he was "determined to discuss the future of Kosovo, stability and the implementation of joint standards" and he said Kosovo needs the joint platform of a broad political spectrum in order to priorities for cooperation with Macedonia, Albania, Podgorica and, of course, the creation of favorable relations with Belgrade".

		Forced into opposition by the coalition of Rugova's LDK and Haradinaj's Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), the PDK, the main successor of the Kosovo Liberation Army, may prefer to derail the government rather than act responsibly by helping to forge a joint position on final status.

		The government of Kosovo was formed several weeks ago and the main ministerial posts went to parties representing ethnic Albanians.

		NATO has been transformed from a closed, Cold War military alliance, focused almost exclusively on the territorial defense of its members, to an enlarged -- and enlarging -- security and political organization, possessing military capabilities from the lightest to the heaviest, ready to defend Allied territory and interests wherever members agree to act.
		I'm speaking, of course, about Kosovo, where Serb soldiers, police and paramilitaries are waging a systematic campaign of terror, murder and rape against Kosovo's Albanian population.
		These show that NATO is more than just an Alliance of the 19, but the core of wider network of democratic states prepared to join forces when their interests demand.
