Kosovo declares independence from Serbia

Topic started by zeemax on Feb 17, 2008 9:42:08 pm

Congratulations - Kosovans. You suffered for a decade for today.



''I know what my identity is. I feel ecstatic that I will now have a name and that's Kosovan, from the Republic of Kosovo,'' said 20-year-old student Besmir Kuqi.

Just a couple of hours after the declaration, the new Kosovo flag could be seen flying proudly on the streets of this new European capital.

Post by majumdar,

You're right about Macedonia, but the idea is not to create a Muslim state here, but an ethnic state. I think Macedonians are basically Albanians as well, though a different religion. Besides, Greece has had eyes on annexing Macedonia since long.

Zee sahib,

Macedonians are predominantly Christians of Maecdonian race (ethnically close to Bulgarians) with a large Albanian Muslim minority. Albania and Kosovo both have large Albanian Muslim majorities. Dunno whether it will work out. Guess it will have to be Kosovo-Albania merger. *-)

Regards

I think it should merge with Albania and Macedonia at an appropriate time. They're all the same ethnically, and could defend themselves better from Russia and Greece who will no doubt try to sabotage the new republic.
