That land is part of my mother land. To take it away is like cutting a limb from my mother, it hurts her and leaves her incomplete.

Don’t forget they spent 50 of the last 70 years under a communist system, so will likely have quite a different outlook on relationships between government, statehood, land, people and property.

BORDERS; American – Serbian Border policy parallels
Border control is critically important to the USA. Don’t believe me? Look at the Balkans.

The former Yugoslav government set the current stage by letting Albanians “migrate” into Serbia’s territory. A higher birth rate, low wages, and different culture caused the present dilemma.

George W. Bush getting US involved in the Balkan sovereignty mess is a tragic example of a rudderless Ship of State. Bush is letting the military industrial lobby dictate American foreign policy. The tail is wagging the dog on our Balkan policy, as well as NATO ( I’ll come back to this on another article about military supply -something I know of first-hand, and America’s diplomatic position which I hinted at recently).

If one spends any time studying the history of Serbia, the Balkan conflicts of the last century, any American should know we can thank the Serbs for not surrendering to the Nazis, for saving countless American airmen, and for helping the Greeks drive the Ottoman Empire out of Europe. We are not known for being a long-term ally. We should have been known for keeping our nose out of the Balkan mess, but Bill Clinton messed that up ten years ago.

Kosovo can’t become a self – governing, sovereign State. The area is overrun by criminal gangs run by regional crime families, who in some cases allied themselves with Al Quaida years ago. What is America’s motive in recognizing Kosovo? Saving lives? Ha.

Might it be controlling the drug routes to Europe and USA? That is about all Kosovo is today.

The following comes from Serbia’s official web site:
