Re: Serbia/Kosovo At ICJ

To: Mr. Charles Crawford

Dear Charles,

The projections of two lines in a plan can be parallel but this does not mean those lines are forcibly parallel. From the beginning I know very well you have gotten the rest of my following comment. You know better than me in what kind of fallacy this “parallelism” can be classified. I’m not going to discuss your experience which seems ( I fill really bad but I have to admit that) I’m paying more respect than you do… .

First of all, everybody may know very well (I’m sure you do), that things didn’t happened in a beautiful day after the “town councils” morning café, where they were discussing the previous night dreams. The story has a history where the time is its crucial component.

First of all the citizens of your down road town have their elected representatives in their Westminster. The citizens of my “town” as well already had their elected representatives in their “westminster” but that was illegally and forcibly dismissed by an OTHER “westminster”. Moreover, after this new state (of occupation), citizens of my “Town” never accept to adhere in the Serbian “westminster” even if they would to, there wasn’t any empty chair for them. It is logic, they where foreigner in Serbia. But not in Kosova where they elected democratically their institutions. I’m sure the citizens of your down road town would have act the same way as us.

Now the Empire felled down and each “King” gets his own throne.

A King in UK is called King and he can reign there only if his majesty calls himself King and not Tsar. Same way, a king in MY “Town” is called Mbret, and he can reign here only if his majesty calls himself Mbret and not Krail. Again your parallel with Tsar Putin is an intentional fallacy. I don’t believe an experienced diplomat like You, unintentionally can do such “Mistakes”.

Simple people can “play” football without a ball, but you can’t. You should get sustainable arguments to publish and a role to play.  If you honestly want to be friendly with Serbs, you should help them to address Serbian minority in Kosova, in their own institutions and not to sacrifice them to get for Serbia as much concessions as possible.

Is not the first time Serbia is loosing their chances. At least I can count many of them from Rambouillet conference. The Serbian minority in North Kosova has lost a lot of time until now. They can get a lot from the constitutional deformation coming from the application of Ahtisaari peace plan. One day things will go in balance and this will be one other lost chance for your friends.

One day, Kosova will be a part of EU. To realize that, Kosova has to meet EU standards including the rights respect for Serb minority. A visionary diplomat should be dismantled from passion and should use his influence and expertise in the future interest, and I sincerely believe “You will have the ball to play football”.

Best Regards
Alban
