by Srdja Trifkovic In theory the European Union is horrified at the prospect of the Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS) becoming not only the strongest party in the country’s parliament—which it already is—but also the majority partner in a new ruling coalition after the general election on May 11. In practice, the EU officials in […]

Problems with Kosovo recognition, Toronto Star
March 20, 2008 on 5:33 am | In In Focus, Kosovo & Metohija, News in English | No Comments
Thomas Walkom At one level, Ottawa’s decision to recognize Kosovo is a non-issue. Backed by the muscle of NATO, the ethnic Albanian majority that dominates the statelet is clearly in charge.

By F. William Engdahl The declaration of Kosovo independence has been rapidly greeted with official diplomatic recognition by Washington and select EU countries including Germany.
