Italian magazine focuses on Kosovo

In 1992 Ibrahim Rugova wrote an article for the magazine, advocating partitioning of Kosovo, rather than independence.

The articles in the latest issue deal less with the Kosovo status question and more with whether or not Kosovo will be able to function as a normal community or state.

A majority of the authors are not optimistic, and most see the role and progress made by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) in the region as negative and minimal.

Dušan Janjić, director of the Forum for Ethnic Relations, writes about the Kosovo status crisis, citing an article by Kosovo Prime Minister Agim Ceku, who said the province was a special case because the international community began to create a country,  “which does not have much material for becoming a country.”

“And then Ceku says 'go ahead, finish the job.' Essentially, the international community came to the Balkans and caught the Balkan virus, and Kosovo will be an open problem and under some sort of international supervision for some time,” Janjić said at the presentation.

Chief of the Serbian Government's Media Relations Office, Milivoje Mihajović, wrote that the Kosovo situation is known to the media only through comments made by politicians and that there are no examples of the real situation facing residents of the province.

Mihajović also sees UNMIK as failing to do its job.

“235,000 people have not returned to Kosovo. There are many statistics which compromise the UNMIK mission,” Mihajović said, adding that according to data, every fifth Kosovo student is armed, “which does not speak well for the future of Kosovo.”
