What is peace worth?
Belgrade’s scenarios are becoming evident one after another. Although the Serbs loudly declared that they would not sit at the same table with the KLA, although they selected from their flock of compliant people—Albanian-speaking, self-proclaimed Albanian-speaking leaders of phantom Albanian parties, an Egyptian Roma, a Turk for show—although the Albanian delegation was hindered from arriving in Rambouillet on time, the historic meeting began. Both sides have arrived sworn not to give an inch to the other. The Serbs did not forget to fire shells on the eve of the meeting, not only in Kosovo but also inside the Albanian border. They did not even forget to threaten the Americans, invoking their investments in Serbia. The Kosovar delegation has gone to the historic castle for independence, while the Serbs have no intention of losing Kosovo. The representatives of the International Community, gathered in Rambouillet, seem quite determined to put an end to the conflict in Kosovo. The West has finally understood that peace costs much less than war, and that investing in peace is an investment in protecting oneself from the flames. Solutions are found in every individual country, and maintaining peace is not paid for only by international institutions and local administrations. It is paid for by the everyday actions of every state integrated into the International Community. For many years, while the status quo of the Cold War prevailed, institutions and instruments of international cooperation could only provide limited assistance in resolving the questions of peace, security and development.
