FINI: INDEPENDENCE FOR KOSOVO POSSIBLE IF CONDITIONS ARE MET

is possible provided that specific conditions are met. Fini stressed the need for Italy to play an active role in the region and the outcome of the talks on the region's status can contribute so much to its stability. Kosovo is a Serbian province in which a majority of ethnic Albanians live and is currently administered by the United Nations. (AGI) -

Someone please explain to me how a fully-independent Kosovo (Kosova) will operate.

A few key questions that I have:
1. Will Kosovo overcome the import/export defecit?
2. Where will Kosovo turn for electricity?
3. After independence, how will the Kosovo government deal with the vacuum that will be created to draw in armed insurgents and extremists?
4. Serbia will definitely mass military troops along the border. How will Kosovo finance a defense infrastructure?

Well put. Unfortunately, it appears that KFOR and UNMIK will be in Kosova for a long, long time. As an American citizen, it makes no sense to me. If I had foreigners in my backyard, I'd want them out tomorrow.

I agree that a smarter Serbia in the EU will benefit the region tremendously. But I'm not so sure about a "stronger" Albania. Until 1990 Albania had no formal communication with the US, so I'm ignorant on the politics and policies of Albania. I'll look into it.
