I imagine you'd have quite a bit of your army there shortly. Even pro Serb writers(like the one Drama referenced) admit that trouble would likely brew on reunification. The point being they wouldn't have any way to control their own territory. I would have to be Serbs coming in with guns.

Hmmm I was given to understand use of their language in many situations was restricted. In addition there were fireing and loyalty things to sign etc.

For it was a shining gem of Albanian affluence. I suppose you could have tried, but it seems suspicious.

Could you find the plan your people pitched to NATO/the UN? I imagine it was not like that. For the above reasons. If you were willing to take just a flag an a line on a map your leaders should have offered it. And it's not like they were from the negotiating table to independence right away. This has seriously brewing for years and been viewed as inevitable for a while. Your diplomats/goverment should have known they needed to make an offer like that to keep Kosovo. I imagine they simply weren't willing to.

I don't know what the full range of things your refering to is. But we did put the KLA on the list of terrorist organizations.

Personally I don't think either group is remotely decent in how they've treated the other side. I imagine many, likely including the forum goers here, are willing to co-exist to some degree. But others will be worse.

Who knows maybe if Albanians had the power in 1999 they would have needed to be bombed.

But as it was Yugoslavia had the power and they were using it to oppress and later to ethnically cleans.

The Albanians have shown a willingness to stop when NATO tells them to, which makes me think they'll manage to handle relations well enough. Milsovic was not. You could have avoided much bombing if he had.

Are you talking about NATO war criminals 99.No way NATO is guilty and they have to take responsibility for that mistake.[/quote]

If this is universally held this might be part of why they considered reunification an impossibility.
