I dont believe a bit of the commitees information could be helpful to me .I have heard so few words I consider to be true . come from the US media or any american politician on the Subject of Yugoslavia or Kosovo . That I could not stand to attend a meeting with them .
I understand the Russian that walked out of the last meeting . If you are not informed of Amerias and nato’s position in the balkans ,or the true facts that happend already. you are incapable of making any correct decisions, but that has never stoped USA before .

Pressure must be exercised on the chairman Tom Lantos to add one more non-biased witness to the hearing. It is possible if he hears it from different sides, American Council for Kosovo, SUC , Serbian National Defense etc.

The U.S government’s Kosovo “solution” violates all legal and
moral standards-international and local (Serbian). Great powers will always decide the destinies of small countries.
Without the great powers, Russia and China, Serbs will be compelled, bullied and blackmailed to part with Kosovo, a legitimate part of Serbia.
It is noteworthy to remember that Albanians (Kosovars?!) are a minority in Serbia. For propaganda purposes they are referred to as a majority.
It is a “horror” in the West to mention the word “serbian” in reference to Bosnia, but Serbs in the Republika Serpska have a more compelling issue in gaining independence than “Kosovars”
(Albanians?).
Finally, our morally bankrupt politicians sold out U.S. foreign policy to other interested parties (Germany?).
What possible political, economic or military interest do we have in Serbia and the Balkans?
Why did we spent billions in building the biggest military base abroad in Kosovo (1.5bill) and billions on unnecessary military presence in the distant Balkans?
I wish all the peoples in the Balkans the best of luck, but
shoudn’t we protect OUR American interest first?
