For God sake Ron, all those arguments and entire view point is stuck in the 90's and shaped by the CNN/BBC propaganda war. Your opinion is based on false facts. First, Serbs didn't start anything in the Balkans in the 90's. For your information there was no war with Slovenes except small 10 day clash between Slovene paramilitaries and Yugoslav Army where most of the dead were inocent recruits. In Croatia, neo-nazi militia started killing and torture of Serb minority which led to army intervention. Later Croatian federal unit changed its constitution to cancel all the rights of Serbs and their status inside the federal unit as the constituent. Illegal seccession led to a war.And first incident in Bosnia was when mujahedeens entered Serbian marriage ceremony shoting and killing people. Second, entire region(except Albania) is against Kosovo independance. But ofcourse you are wrong again. There is no Slavic solidarity as Serbian staunch allies are Greeks for example that are not Slavic, or Romanians that are everything but Slavic. So i guess it is more than some romantic support, it is rather sane mind and good political judgement. No one in the region is willing to support creating ANOTHER Albanians state knowing true historical context of the province and what is the just solution for the region. Third, no one is forcing Albanians to live with Serbs. Serbs are offering one of the widest authonomies in the world for its minority in Kosovo. There is a choice for Albanians in Kosovo: 1. To live by the rules of the host country and accept very very generous provisions offered by the central government or 2. To leave Serbia all together and find their happines there where they all came from some 50 years ago. Rules of the imigration are very simple. If you want to move to another country you have to be ready to respect the laws of the host country and no demographic dominance can give you rights for succession or violent revision of the order set for everyone to suit your amitions.
