Another Perspective

The link gives the perspective of those that clearly do not support Kosovo Albanian independence. There is no doubt that the Albanians are Muslims with a history of terrorism, which naturally brings all sorts of questions and skepticism to the idea of granting them independence.

It's been declared that three have died now due to the events that happened at the protest on Saturday. It is also being said that the deaths were caused by rubber bullets shot by the international police here. Apparently the Self-Determination movement has multiplied since Saturday increasing the number of Albanians that will now be active and vocal in their desire to get the international community - UN/EU - out of here and start running things on their own.

None of my Serbian kids came to class yesterday. They were afraid to come into the area where all of this is happening, which is understandable. The Albanian kids in the class were very concerned. I sat down and discussed the situation with them and the position of their classmates. The maturity and concern in them amazed me. After Fitim confessed his crush for Milica and how badly he wanted to see her again, they not only sat down and wrote a letter to their classmates ensuring that our class was a safe place for them and that they missed them, but they even suggested themselves going to the Serbian community to hold the class if it made their friends feel safer. "We are the future of Kosovo," they said with a bit of sarcasm mixed into their sincerity. Sarcastic or not, it is the absolute truth. Myself and my colleagues in the US Office have to now go to the Serbian school and find out what we can do to save these classes of mine. Let's hope these kids can rub off on the adults involved!
