Why Kosovo Should be Independent


Once you commit racially-motivated genocide as the Serbians did with almost every minority group in Yugoslavia, you can’t expect any of those groups to remain in a state under Serbian domination. More and more details are slowly coming out about the secret warfare waged against Kosovar civilians by the Serbians in the late ’90s. In the latest, another mass grave of Kosovar Albanians has been discovered in the Serbian town of Raska, close to the border with Kosovo.

More than 250 innocent civilians were brutally massacred during the 1998-99 conflict and then buried:

…beneath a building whose foundations had been deliberately constructed to hide the site…

Of course the perpetrators will probably never be found and, even if they are, they are more likely to die of natural causes than from capital punishment. A good example is the linchpin Slobodan Milosevic.

Kosovo declared independence in February 2008 and has been recognized by 68 states – it is time for it to gain complete international recognition.
