Dušan Bataković
War Concept of Kosovo Albanians and Democratic
Option of Belgrade
The concept for solving the Kosovo issue that
prevails among Kosmet Albanians follows the "Drenica
model". It rests on the accomplished act
policy. The desired state of affairs is
established through violence – expulsion,
destruction, seizure…
followed by appeals to "reality"
and demands from the international community to take
the "actual situation"
as the starting point. Counterposed is the
"Belgrade model", developed
by the Serbian side, especially after October
5. It is based on the idea of genuine coexistence
and sustainable development, and does not
cover up for an attempt to divide the Province.
On the contrary, the "Belgrade
model" affirms the highest democratic
standards and serves the interests of both the Albanian ethnic
community in Kosovo and the Serbian state, as
well as those of the International community.
Key words: conflict
resolution, ethnic conflicts,
Kosovo, democracy,
Serbia.
Mario Brudar
Kosovo and Metohija between Aspirations,
Realities and Wishes
What the Kosmet Albanians wish is an independent
Kosovo now, without any divisions or
cantonization. What Serbia wishes is to
restore its sovereignty in Kosovo, or to
postpone its independence as long as possible and meanwhile work out
the cantonization of the Province. A
compromise may be found in independence with cantonization.
But a good compromise is apparently of no interest
to anyone at all, including even the
international community.
Key words: conflict
resolution, ethnic conflicts,
Kosovo, Serbia.
Aleksandar Mitić
The Pressure against Compromise
In an open and argumented debate,
the Serbian plan for a maximum autonomy of Kosovo
and Metohia – a constructive,
fair and compromising proposal –
would largely overshadow the Kosovo Albanian demand
for a maximalist, one-sided
and illegal solution – an independence of
Kosovo. Nevertheless,
at the outset of the talks, bias,
double-standards and
international pressure are being mostly applied against Belgrade.
Zoran Stokić
Can Serbia Win the US Support for Its Plan for
Kosovo?
The decisive vote on the future of Kosovo is that of
the U.S.A.
Serbia will have to use the Kosovo status
negotiations to impose itself on the U.S.A.
as a reliable and long-term
ally. Combating terrorism and the stability
of the region are essentially the shared interest of Serbia and the
U.S.A.
Both elements are present precisely in the Kosovo
case. Linking the solution to this issue with
the problem of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro could yield
substantial diplomatic gains. Namely,
the US administration has to be repeatedly explained
that the scenario involving an independent Kosovo,
unitary Bosnia and Herzegovina and Milo Mila
Đukanović’s Montenegro is a burning fuse in
the foundations of the Balkan peace, instable
as it is. No EU integration processes could
pacify these new or still smoldering hotbeds of conflicts.
A properly understood US interest is to stabilize
and integrate this area. In this respect,
firm partnership between Serbia and the U.S.A.
in finding actual compromise solutions for Kosovo
and other issues, may be decisive for peace
in the entire region.
Key words: conflict
resolution, ethnic conflicts,
Kosovo, the U.S.A.,
Serbia.
Nenad Kecmanović
A Jubilee Revised
Wars on the territories of the former Yugoslavia
brought about population migrations and establishment of new
territorial-ethnic borders within the former
republics and provinces. The most reasonable
solution would be to accept these new borders.
Mixed nations could live in peace with each other
for centuries under the authoritarian rule of emperors and kings.
But when freedom came, they
opted to live with those they found the closest in terms of their
nation, language and religion.
Yugoslavia, too,
was sustainable under the monarchic and communist
authoritarianism. It disintegrated with the
advent of democracy. Bosnia and Herzegovina
is today sustainable only under the dictatorship of the High
Representative. But,
once the Bosnian nations are really left to themselves,
it is hard to imagine that their future will be any
different that that of Austria-Hungary or
Yugoslavia.
Key words: conflict
resolution, ethnic conflicts,
Bosnia and Herzegovina,
democracy.
