Priština rejects 6-point plan again

"The fourth point read out by Sejdiu stressed that “the Kosovo institutions will, as always, cooperate with the United States, the EU and NATO.”

Nice sounding words. But a stark contrast with reality. "Cooperate with the United States" indeed! The plain truth is that Pristina will obey its American and EU overlords. They are your masters now.

And north of the Ibar, unless Eulex gets UNSC approval, the K-Serbs will continue to go their own way.

His Excellency
Fatmir Sejdiu
President of Kosovo
Pristina

Dear Mr. President:

On behalf of the American people, I hereby recognize Kosovo as an independent and sovereign state. I congratulate you and Kosovo's citizens for having taken this important step in your democratic and national development.

On this historic occasion, I note the deep and sincere bonds of friendship that unite our people. This friendship, cemented during Kosovo's darkest hours of tragedy, has grown stronger in the 9 years since war in Kosovo ended. Kosovo has since worked to rebuild its war-shattered society, establish democratic institutions, hold successful elections for a new government, and foster prosperity. As an independent state, Kosovo now assumes responsibility for its destiny. As in the past, the United States will be your partner and your friend.

In your request to establish diplomatic relations with the United States, you expressed Kosovo's desire to attain the highest standards of democracy and freedom. I fully welcome this sentiment. In particular, I support your embrace of multi-ethnicity as a principle of good governance and your commitment to developing accountable institutions in which all citizens are equal under the law.

I also note that, in its declaration of independence, Kosovo has willingly assumed the responsibilities assigned to it under the Ahtisaari Plan. The United States welcomes this unconditional commitment to carry out these responsibilities and Kosovo's willingness to cooperate fully with the international community during the period of international supervision to which you have agreed. The United States relies upon Kosovo's assurances that it considers itself legally bound to comply with the provisions in Kosovo's Declaration of Independence. I am convinced that full and prompt adoption of the measures proposed by U.N. Special Envoy Ahtisaari will bring Kosovo closer to fulfilling its Euro-Atlantic aspirations.

On the basis of these assurances from the Government of Kosovo, I am pleased to accept your request that our two countries establish diplomatic relations. The United States would welcome the establishment by Kosovo of diplomatic representation in the United States and plans to do likewise in Kosovo.

As Kosovo opens a new chapter in its history as an independent state, I look forward to the deepening and strengthening of our special friendship.

Sincerely,

George W. Bush

One rejects the 6 point, the other the 4 point. Now we now go back to the 1244 point.

Who cares what lame duck president Bush once said. This is exactly one of the reasons why he’s the worst president USA ever had. It’s going to take years, maybe decades before this country can repair damages he created to this country and the world. I wouldn’t brag about anything this man said or has done it the last eight years. This guy has disapproval rating higher then 70%. Do I need to say anything else.
As for EULEX, this is exactly what Serbia wonted. Albanians to reject it. It’s a win-win situation for Serbia.

And while it feels good to see how Kosovo government is pathetically and completely unable to do anything on their own without US, I ask myself what can Jeremic and Tadic now do in the face of this vulgar demonstration of power and US total blow to international justice and law?
What can they do?
Kosovo will become this totally outrageous story of un-law and reversal of all values this world was fighting for.

to D.B. Thank you for your taxes and your help. But don't display typical american sentiments associated with money. I don't want to believe that the only value you have is tax money, or money any other way!
I want to live in freedom, just what the american liberty philosophy 'promotes'.
cheers

Well, I wonder how much will we, American, tax payers in the US have to pay to bribe Pristina into accepting the EULUXE Mission. Maybe the Congress and Senate can write this into the Bill that will bail out the US automakers (in very small writing so the typical American can't see it). Hang in there Pristina, you may be able to pull out a couple of million.

But it doesn't matter what Fatmir Sejdu says! The EU has a plan and should carry it out anyway, since no one can stop them. Who cares about the US as well? It's EULEX! It's a EUROPEAN mission! If the Northern part does not want to cooperate, what will they do? Force them? How?

USAserb- I cannot disagree with most of your summation of the Bush administration, however that does not matter much in this case.
The Albanians have not rejected Eulex only coming in with the 6 point plan which is a dead issue now.
DB US will not have to spend any money convincing Pristina to accept EULEX. EULEX is deploying Dec 2, without Serbian approval.

To "blerton" your comment : "I want to live in freedom, just what the american liberty philosophy 'promotes'" Do you really think your "Freedom" is free? The Albanian Lobby in the US bought your freedom. They were only able to do so with funds that ultimatley were gained illegally. Freedom for Kosavars is not "free". If your puppet master says "accept the 6 point plan", believe me that the leaders in Pristina will accept, however knowing their track record, they won't do it for "Free".

Do not worry, blerton. this is hardly "typical american sentiments"... read the posting carefully. that is hardly an "american" attitude i can recognize.

I agree, Roberto. This is a much clearer and more American attitude:
