Kosovo will be independent by spring 2006 - deputy premier

Text of report by Radio-Television Kosovo TV on 30 May

[Announcer] Kosovo will be independent by spring 2006, Deputy Prime Minister Adem Salihaj told Ilyria University students during an address on Standards and status.

[Reporter Blerta Foniqi] Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Adem Salihaj gave an address to students of the private University of Ilyria on the topic Standard and the Status. He told them that by summer of 2006 Kosovo will be independent. He also told the students that the Standards issue came up suddenly when UNMIK [United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo] had no other ideas about how to continue its mission in Kosovo.

However, the Standards were gradually developed, evolved and assumed an important place in every sector of life in Kosovo. The fulfilment of Standards is a whole justification and proof that Kosovo has matured into an independent country.

I am extremely worried and I truly feel sorry for the albanian people in Kosovo. Who is responsible for making them think that they will be independent ?? They will not, and I repeat, not be independent! Is it the SRSG, UN or who is it who have implemented this thoughts. When they are talking about final status, they do not mean independence like some like to think. And to talk of membership in the EU....come on!! Are you all in the Twilight Zone ??
Lets come back in 20-30 years and see. PS. US is not backing up K albanians at all anymore.

Dude don't be worried and don't feel sorry for too much cause you can remain a victim of mental breakdown. Focus on you own problems, its not worth it to lose your mind over international politics.

To Phil the Serbian in NY City, I'm trying to figure out what world you've been living on. The U.S. has never stopped backing the Kosovar Albanians, you and the rest of Serbia are just unaware (by design) of everything that is going on. And now that the EU has become as irrelevent as the UN, and has lost its credibility, the U.S. will ensure that independence becomes a reality for Kosovo. If you don't believe it will happen you are blind as well as uninformed.

To Phil,

So the only option according to you is to remain under Serbia? :)

Let's have a jolly cup of war then shall we? And you as a supporter of this idea can only be considered as a supporter of a genocide that might come to happen, since you see, we are not as armed as the Serbs.

You my friend, would also support the destruction of the Jewish nation, Palestinians, Darfur tribes, Tutsis, and Bosniacs.
