Max, I would not discount the many, many things that both Serbians and Kosovars of MANY ethnic backgrounds have done in the past seven years to create a better world here. There have indeed been moments where both Serbs and ethnic Albanians slid backwards (March 2004 saw the burning of churches in Kosovo AND the burning of Belgrade's mosque). However, I chose to focus on the things that have helped move all the peoples of this region together – school programs that bring kids from Kosovo and Serbia together to realize that they are not so different after all, projects by NGOs from Serbia and Kosovo aimed at cross-ethnic understanding, and so on. I am an optimist – I see so much being done by regular people that can bring everyone together so that borders become, as you said, “relaxed” – both in reality and as a metaphor.
