Interesting how I've never heard of the region being called "Albanian-occupied" in any article...

Kosovo, Serbia Close to Deal but Questions Remain

PRISTINA, Kosovo April 22, 2013 (AP)

Kosovo's prime minister summed up sentiment on both sides: "Don't expect us to start loving each other." Hashim Thaci spoke days after he reached a deal with his Serbian counterpart to normalize ties — a potentially historic breakthrough that could bury an era of conflict.

The tentative agreement brokered last week by the European Union sets out rules on how Kosovo and Serbia will live side-by-side as separate states, the first step in the long process for both to win membership in the bloc.

While there's no doubt a turning point is at hand, Thaci's comment captures the prevalent feeling that an end to the acrimony is a long way off. Belgrade insists the territory is an integral part of Serbia, while Pristina says it will never be ruled by Belgrade again.

You won't ever hear it on mainsteam US or European media anyway. Any more than you'll hear the Pope saying Jesus was just some guy.

NATO's bombing of Serbia and the occupation of its territory was the foundation on which was based all of the subsequent "interventions" that have made the world such a safe place.

Re: Kosovo, Serbia close to deal but questions remain

Exactly! I agree with you 100% Furthermore they started the usage of depleted uranium ammunition and made the world a much more "healthier" place! I am making my PhD in physics and I know what it means for coming generations in Serbia, Iraq and elsewhere! Damaged DNA inherited from one generation to the other, children born with extrem deformities, mentally retarded, aggressiv and new types of cancer etc.
All upcoming generations are collectively punished and will suffer from this barbaric act of "humanitarian intervention"! I myself would clasify the usage of depledet uranium weapons as a form of genocide! They knew about the consequences!

Of course they know-that is why they use it. This course of action will eventually lead to ww3.
