Solana: Kai Eide to report in New York on 19 September
Koha Ditore reports that EU High Representative Javier Solana and NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said yesterday in Brussels that a positive report by Ambassador Kai Eide would pave the way to the continuation of the process for resolving Kosovo’s status. Solana is quoted as saying that Eide will report in New York on 19 September. He also said that ‘although it is not known if Ambassador Eide’s final report will be ready by that time, he is expected to brief Contact Group representatives in New York on 19 September.’

Please excuse my ignorance. Kosovo has never been a issue for me. I understand our (United States) purpose and role in the region, I feel it was a good decision the we intervened, and I totally support the work that we are currently doing there. I have a few questions that I would like to have answered and hopefully someone could help me to better understand what is really going on..
1. During any period of time have Kosovo Albanians and Kosovo Serbians ever lived together peacefully, if so for how long and what happened to change that relationship?
2. Independence is important for all people of Kosovo. After Kosovo is independence will EU membership be the next step or does Kosovo see itself trying to go it alone? What current European countries are considered to be Kosovo friendly?
3. How much assistance is Kosovo Albanians living in the United States and in other Western countries helping the process of independence. I know in the United States Albanian Americans have a really strong lobby, and some are key business leaders. Are they providing any type of mentorship, to the economic re-birth of Kosovo?
4. What will it take for Kosovo and Serbia to have normal/friendly relationship?
5. How much does religion factor into the current situation between Albanians and Serbians in Kosovo?
Again I am sorry for my ignorance. My two sons will be deploying to Kosovo to serve for one year performing peacekeeping duties with the National Guard. As a single father I do have some concerns about what is going on in that part of the world. One year ago they returned from Iraq unharmed. Now they are deploying again.
Thanks for any insight that any one can provide.
