	Kosovo Burning - by Nebojsa Malic
		Throughout the occupied province, Serb houses and churches are burning, UN offices and KFOR troops are under fire, and those non-Albanians who survived the ethnic cleansing of the past four years are fleeing for dear life, as mobs of well-armed and apparently closely coordinated Albanians continue their rampage.
		Consider now the words of KFOR commander, German general Holger Kammerhoff, who warned that "thousands of ethnic Albanians that attacked KFOR, the police, Serb enclaves and churches should be aware of robust reserve forces." (Reuters) Note how clearly he identifies the attackers and their targets.
		But the worst media atrocity was the incessant repetition of the blood libel broadcast by Kosovo Albanian TV just as before the first wave of attacks was underway: that Serbs chased a group of Albanian boys into the river Ibar Tuesday, where three drowned in the rapid currents.

		Kosovo was also called "Republic of Kosova" by the shadow Kosovo Albanian government between a 1990 declaration of independence and the Kosovo War in 1999.
		Kosovo's international status is anomalous in that although it is a province of the Republic of Serbia, actual administration is presently conducted by the United Nations with no involvement on the part of the Serbian governments (under Security Council resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999; see Security Council Resolutions 1999).
		Kosovo's postal system is also usable only in countries which are accepting to recognise it as such (letters addressed to Kosovo only, or to Serbia and Montenegro have a chance of not arriving; the Universal Postal Union advises correspondents to use "Kosovo (UNMIK)" as the address [1]).

	Key to Kosovo Serb survival \| Misa Djurkovic \| Columns \| Serbianna.com
		Despite the 2001 agreement between the UN mission in Kosovo and Belgrade, which recognized the legality of all those institutions, Albanian leaders and some parts of the international community are still referring to them as ’parallel’, thus attempting to denote them as illegal, lawless and an obstacle to the development of a multiethnic Kosovo.
		The Serb population is indeed unwilling to accept that their children must begin to learn in Albanian language or that they should be taught that the Serbs are occupiers“ in Kosovo.
		The response of the UN Mission in Kosovo was to propose a plan which, a year and a half later, proved to be a failure: it offered too little to the Serbs, while the Albanians did not care to implement it.

		KOSOVO’S beleaguered Serb minority has staged a near-total boycott of the province’s weekend general election, reducing the likelihood of establishing a truly multi-ethnic, independent state.
		Yet for now it is Serb participation in the electoral process that is seen by the UN, NATO and the EU as crucial: if Kosovo is to move forward to some form of independence, and eventual membership of the EU, a truly multi-ethnic polity is a key issue.
		And although Boris Tadic, the pro-western leader in Serbia, encouraged Kosovo’s Serbs to vote, as did Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, nationalist politicians and the vocal Serb Orthodox church urged a boycott.

	A Review of NATO’s War over Kosovo, by Noam Chomsky
		As NATO forces entered Kosovo, tremendous efforts were undertaken to discover evidence of war crimes, a “model of speed and efficiency” to ensure that no evidence would be lost or overlooked.
		In Kosovo, in contrast, evidence of terrible crimes can be adduced to provide retrospective justification for the NATO war, on the interesting principle that has been established by the doctrinal system.
		Opening her legal defense of the war, Law Professor Ruth Wedgwood assumes without argument that the objective of the NATO bombing was “to stem Belgrade’s expulsion of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo”— namely, the expulsion precipitated by the bombing, and an objective unknown to the military commander and forcefully denied by him.
