PRISTINA (AP)--The U.N. has appointed a former U.S. brigadier general to be the deputy head of the U.N. mission in Kosovo, the organization said Wednesday in a statement.
Steven Schook, who has retired from the U.S. Army, previously served in Kosovo as chief of staff to the commander of NATO-led peacekeepers deployed in the province, which has been administered by the U.N. since 1999, after NATO launched airstrikes to stop a crackdown by Serb forces of separatist ethnic Albanian rebels.
Schook was also the NATO commander and senior military representative in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegoniva, and served as the commander of multinational peacekeeping troops known as SFOR in that country, the U.N. said.
Talks to determine Kosovo's future status are underway, with the ethnic Albanian majority population pushing for full independence and the province's Serb minority and Serbia insisting it remains linked with Serbia. [ 19-04-06 0908GMT ]

Hey NY wanker...I wonder why is life? I wonder...I wonder...
You dickhead!!
Why do you ask idiotic questions that you and the rest of the world already know the answer to.
I'll tell you why (i biri shkinës - son of a serb whore)...the U.S. & NATO took the Albanian side because they have enough experts on Balkan history & issues to know who land really belongs to but most of all who was in the right and who was in the ABSOLUT wrong.
So, curl up and die.

All that wondering, nyouthouselawyer, will make you gay in case you are not there yet. However, one thing is for youre. You will never know!
Does anyone honestly believe that the United States intervened in Kosovo because it was concerned with the fact that "historically" it was Albanian land. Do you honestly think the United States bombed to stop "ethnic cleansing?" Give me a break. If that were the case the U.S. should have intervened in Rwanda, Cambodia, China, Turkey, and Sudan. Let's be serious; Kosovo is in an important geo-strategin location and now houses one of the largest bases in the world...Bondsteel. Can you put it together?
Its interesting how greeks and serbs suck each others cock. No wonder you agree on each others issues. Greece has committed genocide against alabanians of cameria and the once they call arvanit so no wonder they agre with serbs. Both nations have albanian blood on their hands.
