All of the international actors (USA, UN, EU, NATO, Contact Group) involved in
settlement of Kosovas status, morally and legally are obliged to take into
account valid and objective arguments according to historical and juridical rights
of both parts (Serbian and Albanian) in conflict. Really, in this context is
prepared and the United Nation plan on Kosova which in February 2, 2007 was
delivered and presented by its envoy, Marti Ahtisari to Serbian authorities in
Belgrade and Albanian government in Prishtina. However, Marti Ahtisaris plan
about Kosova, official Belgrade at the same day rejects by motivation that one
imply independence of Kosova. Meanwhile, Albanian part accepted it with reluctance
and pleasure hoping that the UN special envoy Marti Ahtisari will get in
consideration its additional proposals to be completed his plan before submitted
it to the Security Council of the United Nations.
Like Albanian part in Pristina as well as mentioned relevant parts of
international community (particularly USA) who invested, and really interested to
resolve of Kosovas issue neednt hurried with approving of Marti Ahtisaris plane
because one "omitted" the external self-determination of Kosova. This is a main
reason why Marti Ahtisaris Plan couldnt be presented to the UN Security Council
before being completed with this important and unavoidable legal clause which is
in conformity to " the Declaration Granting Independence to Colonial Countries and
Peoples and Declaration on Principles of International Law Concerning Friendly
Relations and Cooperation among States in Accordance with the Charter of the
UN"(See: GA Resolution 1514(XV),14 December 1960; and GA Resolution 2625(XXV),24
October 1970).
These are the main rational and legal reasons why Kosova must be granted with
full-external independence, not only with internal independence such as Marti
Ahtisaris Plan expected as a first reasonable step. Indeed, Kosovas government
isnt in situation to refuse Marti Ahtisaris proposed plan, like did Serbia, but
morally, historically and legally is obliged to give its additional suggests and
proposals which concern to the settlement of the final political status of Kosova
in compliance to recognize the full right of the self-determination of 2 millions
Albanian people who are the "hostages" of the colonial Great Serbia from 1912/1913
to June 10, 1999.

In this context, Marti Ahtisaris plan must take in consideration and these
important historical and juridical reasons and arguments who are directly
connected to the granting of full independence of Kosova. First, historically,
Kosova has never been legal part of Serbian territory, but only genocidal and
colonial plunder disjoined from the historical, geopolitical and integral
territory of the ethnic natural Albania by the European Great Powers (19113).
Second, Kosova belongs to the civilization (history, culture and language etc.) of
the Western Europe because Albanians are Illyrians descendants, not at all Slaves
or Muslims as Serbian quasi-history, politics and propaganda of the Serbian State
and Orthodox Church try to sophisticate their history for centuries in the face of
the world in order to hide their centennial colonial genocides committed on
Albanians and ethnic Albania (1846-1999).
On the contrary of the Serbian invented myth about Kosova battle 1389, which
symbolize ancient history and right of Serbia and Serbs to Kosova, "Serbia does
not have a continuous history on Kosova. For several hundred years, Kosova was not
part of Serbia, because there was no Serbia to be part of: during most of long
Ottoman period, Serbia did not exist as an entity at all. Kosova was annexed de
facto by Serbia within living memory, in 1912; de jure it wasnt annexed by the
Serbian kingdom at all".(See excellent book, Introduction : Kosova a Short History
by Neol Malcolm, New York, 1999, p.xxxv). Also, Serbia and Serbs havent their
religious and culture "cradle" in Kosova because "the seat of the Serbian Orthodox
Church was not founded in Kosova; it merely moved there after its original
foundation in central Serbia was burnt down. Nor does the Patriarchate have any
continuous history as an institution in Kosova
, but in Rascia(Serbia), an area
beyond Kosovas
north-western border, and most of the important early medieval Serbian monastires
and churches were built outside Kosova itself." (Ibidem, p. xxxv).
Theres no dilemma that historically Kosova was Albanian territory, not Serbian as
has written with incontestable arguments Prof.Dr. Noel Malcolm in his mentioned
excellent and realistic book about Kosova. Indeed, that Kosova has never been
Serbian land, but Albanian which in 1371 has been part of the Albanian feudal
state of the Balshas which was defeated by the Ottomans in 1389.
Third, Kosova isnt Serbian minority problem (as official Belgrade and Serbian
Orthodox Church are manipulating with 8% of Serbs in Kosova under the pretext
that they are victims of the Albanian majority of 90%. This is falls argument
which Serbia, and Serbian Orthodox Church are using to blame Albanians, instead
to blame themselves for all their colonial aggressions and genocides toward
Kosova-Albania and Albanians ), but ancient colonial problem which must be
resolved in accordance with International Positive Law and the United Nations
Chart. Fourth, in order to reach definitely political compromise between Serbs
and Albanians, Marti Ahtisaris plan must include the necessary international
juridical clause of the external self-determination which theoretically and
practically means full independence of Kosova, not internal which directly and
indirectly Belgrade want to be implied to Kosova by international community
because it will be only "legal way" to keep still
its colonial plunder like 100 years ago (1878-2007).
Basically, Marti Ahtisaris plan about final status of Kosova should be accepted
by Pristinas government and Albanian political parties, only if it contains the
full external independence of Kosova, otherwise wont be changed the status quo of
Kosova, event though Marti Ahtisaris plan expect conditional independence of
Kosova under international oversee i.e. the European Union (EU) which
(politically) could consider as a first "equilibrate" and "fair" step by the
international community, it wont be a good guaranty in the service of
international legality for peace and justice for all.
As the United States as well as the United Nations, European Union, NATO etc.
should bear in mind the fact that only way to reach historical compromise between
disputed parts, and lasting peace and stability in Balkans is immediately
recognition of the external self-determination of Kosova as a independent,
sovereign, democratic and multiethnic state within which will be include and
respect the rule of law and all human rights to the all ethnic and religious
minorities.
