I recently saw Joost Lagendijk on some symposium. He is another Europarlementarian that is involved with the Balkan and he spoke there mainly on Kosovo. He sounded very much like the Europarlementarians mentioned in this and other B92 articles on the recent EP incident. I found him very partial. But when pressed it appeared that he knew very little about the subject. It looked like he was mainly repeating American propaganda.

Three of his main arguments were:
- "Serbia has taken no initiative until the Ahtisaari Plan." This is definitely wrong. Serb ministers and officials made informal proposals as early as 2000. But UNMIK refused to talk about Kosovo's future before it had the situation there better under control.
- the "reality" argument: Kosovo's independence is now the reality and by denying it Serbia is only hurting itself. This was also the argument used by Czechia for its recent recognition of Kosovo.This is more rethorics than a real argument.
- related to this is the "big powers" argument that says that it is the big powers that determine what happens in the world and that they have chosen to support Kosovo's independence. This ignores that both that the power of the US is not absolute and that unlike the era of the Berlin conferences we now have welldeveloped international law.

Replacing Kacin will not solve the problem that the culture in the EP section involved in the Balkans is very anti-Serb. Instead I think Serbia should focus on getting more representatives sympathic to its case involved in the EP's Balkan politcs and that it should pay attention at educating them (lobbying?). The arguments in the EP in favor of Kosovo's independence are not strong, but someone needs to say that the emperor has no clothes.

Truth be told, Serbia has no say if the EP should be replaced since it's lost much respect from the West & ViceVersa.

A good strategy would be for Serbia to get Greece, Spain and Slovakia to protest for them.

Mr. Delic & Mr. Tadic Dont misled the serbia people. your just playing as if your defending kosovo but in fact when you signed the SAA you already surrendered this province to the EU / NATO occupiers. in exchange of so called benefits & incentives of being with the EU. SRS-DSS-SPS should form the next goverment!!!!

Kacin is actually a loose cannon, on issues having nothing to do with Serbia as well.

Be that as it may, he's just one man so that's alright. However, as a rapporteur, you need a rapport, and clearly he has none with Serbs. So the EP should either find a new rapporteur or change Kacin's title to EP Provocateur against Serbia.

This is Serbian way of Freedom of Speech. They can go far as they want to dictate EU what to do, who to hire, and to whom to talk.
Thanks for making cristal creal what kind of people Albanians had to deal for 96 years.

to be replaced for what??? because is saying that the ppl that have suffered this :

"Enforced disappearances

Seven years after investigations opened, indictments had still not been issued in connection with the transfer in refrigerated trucks to Serbia in 1999 of the bodies of at least 900 ethnic Albanians". report Amnesty International -

available in B92 of 29th May 2008

this is pure cosmetics, of course!

first of all, Djelic is on the side of those who would give away the southern serbian province, and now he�s simply trying to create the impression of someone who cares for Serbia�s state-interests...

but by asking for this, he shows that he is not acting seriously.

Mr.Kacin is of absolutely no importance in that question.

it�s others who want to create the impression of a "newborn" state... quite ineffective, if I may add this here...

so, a lot of chit-chat about someone unimportant - that�s the DS� strategy?

they must be worried, indeed.
