“Kosovo tied to other interests”

Everything is possible under the umbrella of independence. If K-Serbs wants autonomy within and independent Kosova, that's fine too. But to even start talking about this K-Serbs should just start saying something first and not make a deaf ear and look the other way. K-Serbs should not follow ill intended Belgrade's policy and being late for everything. If K-Serbs want to negotiate their position with the government of Kosova now is the best time to do that. The time is running out and longer they wait, harder is for anyone to take them seriously. They have the right of local self-governing and Kosova's government has been doing all it can to decentralize its governing policy. If that's not enough, K-Serbs may ask more and negotiate to the bone, short of joining Serbia.

Pay attention to the last sentence: "...short of joining Serbia".

You see, now it's just too late for that. If partition was brought up by Belgrade during Ahtisaari or Troika's

It's been said numerous times that Belgrade it's not concerned about K-Serbs, only about the land or better about a useless nationalistic pride that has caused to this day a lot of damage around the region. Don’t K-Serbs see what is going on around them? Don’t they see that at the end they will be the ones to bear the burden of failed Belgrade policies?

The Dayton Accords are fine as far as I'm concerned. It's one of the few things the US has done in the Balkans that actually worked. In fact, I'd even go so far as to call for an extension of the Dayton Accords to an independent Kosovo. At this point, Kosovo's separation from Serbia is pretty much a fait accompli but that doesn't mean that Kosovo's internal configuration shouldn't change to accomodate Serbian (K-Serb specifically) interests.

Miri, for once I think you and I are in near-total agreement here.

Miri, you sound like a use car salesman who is putting pressure on the unsuspecting buyer to negotiate now or tomorrow ill be too late. The deal is only for today.

This to me sounds like he is trying to sell me a lemon and if I panic and buy I will be sorry.
Serbs have nothing to negotiate with "Kosova" government because there is no such country. KosovO is a part of Serbia and will remain that. You see, there is nothing Albanians can do about it.

Until you get UN recognition you will never be a country. When are you going to accept that? UN recognition will not happen.

Your scare tactics of take the deal now as tomorrow will be too late is pathetic.

Peggy, you are absolutely right.

there is no future for that little stillborn puppet, and the best thing is that time works for Serbia.

that´s too, something our dear friends do not realize, since they are also from time to time mentioning demographics, but that is something they do not really know much about, and therefore their dreams will last for a certain time, until the conditions change.

and personally, I think that will happen sooner than many here expect it ( if there are any here to realize it at all ).
the mere fact that they are so exaggerating their happy-clapping just because of Montenegro and FYRM...actually shows the level of their desperation. it seems like deep inside, they feel that they are nothing without a LEGAL status.
