Serbia’s Hard-Won 200-Year Old Nationhood at Stake

Those Western vested forces who have been encouraging and supporting the Kosovo separatists should not lose touch with the enormity of the likely fallout from their actions.

Let us remember that on February 15, 1804, there was an uprising in Orashats against the Turkish yoke and its outcome plus the Turkish-Russian war from 1806-1812, led to the creation of the Serbian Principality and on February 15, 1835 the Serbian Parliament adopted its first national constitution.

But now the territorial integrity of Serbia is in serious jeopardy as Kosovo, the cradle of the Serbian civilization, is on the verge of being torn away from the state.

Since NATO invasion in 1999, Kosovo has been virtually a protectorate of Western countries and it is being given legitimacy through the back-door deals via the recommendation of the UN special envoy, Marti Ahtisaari.

Last month the present Serbian government examined the UN recommendation and 225 out of 250 have voted against the Ahtisaari’s plan for Kosovo.

This move of Kosovo separation is very fraught with unpredictable consequences for the region and for Europe.

How many Albanian States will the UN and Europe tolerate in the south of Europe?

The example of Kosovo will spread like a wild bush fire and already that part of Macedonia with a large part of Albanian population is stirring and being edged on by the Western interests. Besides, part of Montenegro and southern Serbia can also borrow a leaf from Kosovo.
