		Nato-Generalsekretär will alle Balkan-Länder in Allianz sehen
		12:17 | 29/ 04/ 2010

BRÜSSEL, 29. April (RIA Novosti). Nato-Generalsekretär Anders Fogh Rasmussen hat sich für eine Aufnahme aller Balkan-Länder, einschließlich Serbiens und der serbischen Provinz Kosovo, die ihre Unabhängigkeit einseitig erklärt hatte, in die Nordatlantische Allianz ausgesprochen.

“Mein Traum wird einmal Wirklichkeit, und wir werden alle Balkan-Staaten in der Nato sehen können”, sagte er in einem Video-Appell, der auf der Webseite der Allianz veröffentlicht wurde.

Zugleich äußerte er sein Bedauern darüber, dass der Streit zwischen Griechenland und der jugoslawischen Ex-Republik Mazedonien über den Namen dieses Landes die Aufnahme in die Allianz behindert.

2009 waren Albanien und Kroatien in die Nato aufgenommen worden. Bosnien und Herzegowina wurde letzte Woche dem Aktionsplan zur Nato-Mitgliedschaft (MAP) angeschlossen.

Kommentar: Jeder im Balkan weiss, das das NATO Buendnis Schrott ist und als Tarn Mantel auch fuer den Drogen Schmuggel diente. Peinlich wird es dann, wenn man verzweifelt, Abkommen u.a. mit Gangstern wie Fatos Nano abschloss, oder gar mit den Kosovo Kriminellen und anderen hoch bestechlichen Politikern im Balkan. Deutschland ist sowieso, als billiger Nachplabberer einer kriminellen NATO Politik, immer dabei.

Kosovo: Violence Begets Violence

In his April 6 report on Kosovo to the UN Security Council (S/2010/169), the UN Secretary General notes that the “overall security situation in Kosovo remained relatively calm but fragile.” In this regard, he expressed concern about “the possibility of increased tensions in northern Kosovo, should the implementation of the strategy for northern Kosovo by the authorities in Pristina not take place in conditions of transparency and dialogue with local communities and all relevant stakeholders.” In fact, the potential for violence in the north remains just under the surface and can be set off by events even below the Ibar, as witnessed in the aftermath of the Kosovo authorities’ violent dismantling of the Serbian phone network in the southern areas.

Explosions are not atypical ways of delivering messages in Kosovo. Generally, in the north at least, no one gets hurt. Since the Kosovo government used explosives to blow up the Serbian telecoms facilities last week, “unidentified persons” retaliated by blowing up cell phone towers used by operators from the south to deliver service north of the Ibar. Faculties were reportedly bombed in Leposavić, Zubin Potok and north Mitrovica over the weekend of April 24. Another was apparently attacked on April 29. Telecom Serbia also responded to the attacks on their facilities in the south by placing guards on their installations in the north. The Serbian government representative for north Mitrovica called on northern Serbs “who have been extremely cooperative and allowed mobile telephony equipment of companies owned by ethnic Albanians to be installed on their property” to “reconsider their decision.” Until recently, the “Albanian” cell phone systems were tolerated in the north.

Perhaps not directly connected, explosions also destroyed a car in north Mitrovica on April 23 while a grenade was reportedly thrown at the Kosovo Police Station in Zubin Potok on the 29th.

Macedonian police on Thursday seized a large stash of personal firearms and explosives hidden in several bunkers in the mountainous terrain near the border with Kosovo.

Über ein Gerücht, Grenzkontrollen zum Kosovo wegfallen zu lassen, wird natürlich gleich weider spekuliert.

PREŠEVO — Ethic Albanian leaders from the Preševo Valley say redrawing of borders between Kosovo and Serbia proper is a good solution.

“The Contact Group, Belgrade and Priština may find the alteration of borders unacceptable, while the Preševo Valley Albanians beg to differ,” Priština daily Koha Ditore wrote in its Sunday edition.

The newspaper quoted Preševo municipal president Ragmi Mustafa as saying that this solution “would contribute to the preservation of peace in the entire Balkans, if crucial factors managed to agree and support the swap of the territory.”

Former Kosovo prime minister Bajram Rexhepi said Friday that Priština could agree to partitioning of the province only if it gets the municipalities of Preševo, Bujanovac and Medve a in the Preševo Valley in Serbia’s south.

“The exchange of territory between Serbia proper and Kosovo would make up a favorable solution with respect to promoting long-term solid and sustainable neighborly relations,” Mustafa was reported as saying.
