I agree. Serbia does not deserve any recognition by any nation or group of nations.
I am so grateful that Kosovo has become its own nation. I am grateful that my country, America, has
acknowledged Kosovo as sovereign nations. I look forward to when Kosovo is a member of the United
Nations with the respect of all good nations.
Serbia has shown this week that it as a government and as a nation has no respect for other nations.
A nation is supposed to keep every embassy of all nations who has chosen to acknowledge that
nation, safe. But their disrespect this week shows that Serbia is not a worthy nation who should be
acknowledged by any UN nation or the UN itself.
Serbia has shown the world that they do not respect half of the people who used to be a part of
their nation because of their genocide that they showed the world in years back. No nation or
people have the right under God or Allah or all of humanity to destroy any other group of people for
any reason.
May God, Allah, the Great Spirit, the Creator, bless Kosovo and curse Serbia at this time in
history.
Welcome, Kosovo, to the world community of Nations. Welcome to each citizen of Kosovo, including
those with whom you may not agree with. America has shown that we, as a people, can do that and it
makes our nation great. To know, just take note of the candidates running for our President: A
woman, a black man, and the white male (who for so long thought that they had brains to be
President!!). America accepts all who join us in making our nation great. (We, Americans,
apologize that President Bush has embarrassed us among other nations and people of the world.)
Take note, Serbia and Serbians, you are not ready to join the best of humanity yet.

The Serbs were chiefly responsible for the series of atrocious wars which wracked the Balkan region
during the 1990s. They never were made to pay for these crimes and have shown no real penitence for
them. Instead, they continue to see themselves as victims, rather than the perpetrators that they
were. Milosevic has been portrayed as an evil dictator a la Saddam. The truth is that Milosevic was
not a dictator. He was elected, and his extremism was applauded and supported by the majority of
Serbs.
Even today, the Serbs continue to harbour wanted war criminals, Radavan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic,
rebuffing international efforts to bring them to justice. Yet, even with this iniquitous background,
efforts are underway to bring Serbia into the fold of the European Union, perhaps even, bizarrely,
NATO. This is unacceptable and outrageous. Until Serbia demonstrates remorse for its crimes, it
should be ostracised by the international community. |

Serbia should be granted eventual membership to the European Union, mainly because entry into this
continental club can be used as a carrot to help press a prospective member to initiate key
political and economic reforms, as well as to strengthen human rights. The prospect of membership
has been used as a way to guarantee peace and order in previously instable corners of the continent.
Additionally, now that Serbia's moderate President Tadic has won re-election--however narrowly--the
EU can hardly turn away from this Balkan state.
The other reason why Serbia should not be rejected simply because of the staunch nationalist streak
that certainly defines its politics is because some of the countries that recently joined the EU are
not much better on that front, yet they were permitted to join. Slovakia's governing coalition, for
example, includes a far-right, ultra-nationalist and rabidly racist party, which is seen as totally
unacceptable by most in Brussels. Slovakia's prime minister, who leads a leftist party, saw no
problem entering into a coalition with this formation and is seen as a strong nationalist himself.
As such, the country's sizable Hungarian and Roma minorities (the former constitutes 10% of the
population), face frequent discrimination. Romania and Bulgaria, both of which joined the EU last
year, struggle greatly with issues of corruption and accountability, while many are also highly
critical of the Romanian government's policies towards its minorities, most of whom live in
Transylvania. |
