Kosovo - partitioning what from what?

An answer to Mr. Gallucci published in Transconflict WS

From the very beginning Mr. Gallucci is miss leaded from the idea that Kosova is part of Serbia. For him and for some other people who don't know or don't want to know the reality in Kosova this is a common "mistake" :). The argument of the state lose rights over "some part of its territory or population because of the way a particular government treats its people" does not stand at all. It was a clear attempt of genocide and ethnic cleansing of Rep. of Serbia over autochthonal Albanians who never have accept to be part of same state and same people. The truth is that attempts to occupy Kosova have a long story and this is an other argument. Serbia gain "de jure" the control over Kosova after the London conference of "Great Powers" in 1912. De facto, this control is never been recognized by the Kosovar population and as everybody knows, Serbia never had a full control over Kosova. It's connections with Kosova always have been artificial and have meant a de jure control without turning it into a de facto one. The border always is been there and the Kosova war, just unhide what Serbians tried to hide and to disinform from decades. On the other side Mr. Galluci should consider that there is a natural continuity of Albanians in all surrounding Kosovar area which confirm that this is not s.th. comparable with native people of Australia, Brazil and the United States. It is a fallacy to keep claiming Kosova part of Serbia when there is not a ethno-cultural allegation and complicity between them. I'm quite sure that not only Mr. Gallucci but everyone who have ever heard about, knows very well that never is been and never will be a compatibility between Kosova and Serbia.
   
I agree totally with Mr. Gallucci that it is absolutely not true that Kosova is a multi-ethnic society. It is a society where they are some minorities among them Serbs too. But this is not a argument. All countries have their minorities. Serbia too has a large group of Albanians (what is called East Kosova) living in Presheva-Bujanovc-Medvegje valley. Even there is a very difficult situation and because Serbia is applying to be part of EU community, Europe should be very concerned about the rights of Albanians living there. On the other side it is Serbia it selves that is exciting the northern part of Mitrovica to not participate and to not take part in the Kosovar Institutions where they can get excessive privileges offered generously by the Constitution of Rep. of Kosova based in Ahtisaari peace plan.
   
For more than 4 centuries not only Kosova but whole region of Balkan was part of Ottoman Empire so perhaps Serbia too should be part of Turkey:). It's a pity argument... . I don't know exactly what Mr. Gallucci mean with preservation of multi-ethnicity in Balkan and its idea of “soft landing”. Everyone knows perfectly well  how hard it was to dialogue with Serbia. Always is been tried that "Soft Landing" but it was impossible. Pushing hard to that "Soft Landing" it was for Western countries  a lost of chance to find an adequate solution for Bosnia when it was the time and everybody knows very well what outcome it had. In the case of Kosova they didn't accept to repeat the same mistake. Regarding the Kosova border they are sacred with the constitution of SFRY of 1974 who was admitted by Serbia too. If there will be any change this should be an argument between Rep. of Kosova and Rep. of Serbia, but as long as Serbia won't accept the reality on the ground it will be hard to believe that an other solution can be.
   
The Ahtisaari Plan was for Kosova and couldn't been a bundle of plans for Prishtina, Mitrovica, Prizren etc..., just because one or an other want it so to fix it's own interests Serbia lost a lot of chances to participate for a solution from the very beginning in Rambouillet. So they they had some idea they had many chances to present it. Talking, shouting and blaming now IS TOO LATE.
   
Gerard_Gallucci Mr. Gerard Gallucci, openly has been aligned on Serbian side and is been opposing very often to the UMNIK policy. It was his and some others sabotage, UMNIK didn’t had success in Kosova. The situation there became very unstable which lead him to “give resignation”.


Good retirement Mr. Gallucci.
