Fino: Mejdani is talking nonsense

"We absolutely do not agree with the unfounded remarks of the head of state" Page 3 After Ireland, Kosovo The agreement reached for Northern Ireland again casts doubt on the future of Kosovo. For several months, preoccupied with successive deals, this after the elections of 22 March, everything that happened on Friday regarding Kosovo and the overall order is shaking international political circles. The real goal for Northern Ireland leads toward a federation with Ireland. This is stated by analysts of international politics. The representatives of Kosovo's three parliamentary groups, Mr. Ibrahim Rugova and Adem Demaçi, who have just been in Prishtina, are worried by the possibility of a global solution based on a new formula for the Kosovo problem. From several independent analyst voices in Prishtina and Athens, it is learned that there is also a second project in play, according to which there is the possibility of uniting with Albanian lands. However, the fire, the wind and the hatred of part of Serbian politics in Kosovo leave no room for optimistic interpretations. This new uncertainty on the Balkan political scene, it seems, is giving rise to the strengthening of Serbia's position and of new factors. Salih Kabashi warns that once again a vague formula, still unconfirmed by international opinion, will be placed at a crossroads. Serbian civilians have publicly spoken out against the disintegration of Yugoslavia, which has sparked new debates about Kosovo's fate. In a long article by "Miloseviç", undoubtedly a polemical and unofficial formulation, it is proposed that rash steps be avoided. Meanwhile, the decisions of the Serbian parliament and the latest statements by political forces in Prishtina have increased fears of an unpredictable development. For Kosovo, the Northern Ireland agreement remains an important precedent, but not enough for its future. Minister of Bashkim Fino lights President Mejdani's cigarette

After Ireland, Kosovo

The agreement reached for Northern Ireland contains many new elements that are useful for understanding better what may happen to Kosovo. From some recent statements in Western diplomatic circles, a new information basis has also emerged for the scenes of events in the Balkans. This represents an important development, with several premises arising from the events in Kosovo and the general political order in the region. The representatives of Kosovo's three parliamentary groups, Mr. Ibrahim Rugova and Adem Demaçi, are observing these trends very carefully, while in Prishtina and Athens there is talk of a new formula. In Kosovo and in Tirana, several incomprehensible movements have likely been noticed, which may be linked to the latest developments. Salih Kabashi has drawn attention to this problem, mentioning the possibility of creating a solution that could affect Kosovo's fate as well. Some political circles in Belgrade and Athens are showing opposing interests regarding the Albanian issue and the future of Yugoslavia. Although the agreement on Northern Ireland has been seen as a model, it cannot automatically solve the Kosovo problem. On the contrary, to fully understand its consequences, the behavior of Serbian, Albanian and international factors must be carefully analyzed.
