Mr. Gjoni,

Even Rambouillet reaffirms Serbia’s integrity you conveniently left that part out.

“final settlement for Kosovo, on the basis of the will of the people, opinions of relevant authorities, each Party's efforts regarding the implementation of this Agreement, AND THE HELSINKI FINAL ACT”

The “will of the people” is only one factor. The obvious intent is they must agree to it, which is exactly the position of Russia and Serbia. Both sides must agree, we must find a compromise. I see no mention of the Right to Self Determination, just a bunch of references in both Rambouillet and UNSC 1244 about the integrity and sovereignty of Serbia.

"So, to complete the picture, Chapter 8, Art I.3 of Rambouillet Accords provides that three years after the entry into force of this Agreement, an international meeting shall be convened to determine a mechanism for a final settlement for Kosovo, inter alia, on the basis of the will of the people of Kosovo."

The Rambouillet Accords never came into force so therefore this is meaningless.

Both 1244 and the Rambouillet Accords guarantee the territorial integrity of Yugoslavia, and Serbia's sovereignty over Kosovo no less than three and five times respectively.

Aleksandër Gjoni,

"So, to complete the picture, Chapter 8, Art I.3 of Rambouillet Accords provides that three years after the entry into force of this Agreement, an international meeting shall be convened to determine a mechanism for a final settlement for Kosovo, inter alia, on the basis of the will of the people of Kosovo."

- in which case why has the penny not dropped for you Aleksandër way back in 2002 (i.e. 3 years after agreement comes into force) Kosovo & Metohija was and still is legally integral to Serbia as is the case another 5 (nearly 6) years again.

Hopefully come the 11th December you can finally understand the reality, accept the state your in and wake up from the false promise Uncle Sam cannot deliver upon.

Aleksander,

I am afraid, but you have put your hopes on something wrong...

that article you are presenting proceeds from legal premises that can´t be interpreted, UNSC 1244 is in fact, not accessible to any interpretation...

but, thanks for bringing some arguments at least...not like the usual albanian propaganda or lies about their thousands of years old heritage...

I appreciate it.

Profesor Fleiner is only stating the obvious. The very people who are trying to illegally steal 15% of sovereign Serbian land today, are the same people who signed UNSC Resolution 1244 in 1999, which guarantees Serbian sovereignty over Kosovo.
I fully expect the 'greater albania' team to accuse this Swiss Professor of being a Serbian nationalist, a radical...all kinds of other names.
Their strategy seems to be to avoid the facts, spread anti-Serb lies and propoganda, and threaten more violence if they don't get their way.
It won't work, because the truth, which is the albanians' enemy and the Serbs' friend, is getting out.
Cheers!

Here is a very competent interpretation of UNSC Resolution 1244 from a prominent schoolar of public int'l law: "The preamble of Resolution 1244 cited the ritual affirmation of the commitment of all member states to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FRY and the other States of the region, as set out in the Helsinki Final Act and Annex 2 of the Resolution. Crucially, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FRY was conditioned by the Helsinki Final Act and Annex 2 of the Security Council Resolution. The Helsinki Final act provides for the equal recognition of a state’s right to sovereignty and territorial integrity, and of a minority peoples’ right to self-determination. Annex 2 expressly places the respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FRY within the context of the ‘interim political framework agreement providing for substantial self-government for Kosovo’ (so it does not extend beyond to the final status of Kosovo), and also noted the necessity of taking full account of the Rambouillet Accords.” ( P. R. Williams, Earned Sovereignty: the Road to Resolving the Conflict over Kosovo’s Final Status, (2004) 31:3 Denv. J. Int’l L. & Policy 387, at 411).
So, to complete the picture, Chapter 8, Art I.3 of Rambouillet Accords provides that three years after the entry into force of this Agreement, an international meeting shall be convened to determine a mechanism for a final settlement for Kosovo, inter alia, on the basis of the will of the people of Kosovo.

Mr Fleiner, you should be more loud when speaking about the resolution 1244 and clearly interpret to your country. We are all aware what will happen is resolution is violated.

"The text of the resolution is quite clear to any lawyer and it calls for respect of sovereignty and search of a solution for Kosovo only within the essential autonomy framework,"

- need anyone say any more?

Come the 11th December hope this reality will start to sink in for those who have been taken in by the false promises and assurances of the US and realise the the State they are in.

There will be no illegal declarations and ultimately 1244 remains as does Serbias Sovereignity - including its province Kosovo & Metohija.
