“abc” Yesterday, across various media, more than the passage of German peacekeeping troops across the formal Albania–Kosovo border, attention was drawn to the great danger posed by mines along it and throughout Kosovo. The concern is heightened because, unable to win the war, the Serbs want to leave death behind. This was why the UN refugee agencies urged the many Kosovars waiting to hurry back to their homes to be thoroughly cautious for as long as demining takes. Demining is the first major undertaking of the international peacekeeping contingent, aimed at building a normal Kosovo. But Kosovo also needs to be “demined” politically, morally and psychologically. There are still many other “mines” there, with destructive effects on the fragile peace being sought. Such are, for example, the Russian troops, which entered Prishtina without a mandate and as a challenge to the international community, NATO and their plans for a free Kosovo. If the Russians do not comply with the clauses of the Security Council resolution, they are not serving peace. They must be compelled to behave in Kosovo not as occupiers. Therefore, the serious concern of the UÇK over their claimed presence on Kosovo soil should be taken seriously; they are nothing but the “twins” of the Serbs who are shamefully abandoning it. Meanwhile, Kosovo also needs to be demined of another, perhaps even greater source of harm: intercommunal hatred. In the bleak reality of Kosovo, this aspect, which is anything but emancipatory, has so far been left unaddressed and has at times been portrayed in unreal colors. Neutralizing the mine of hatred is a very delicate task, not only because the latest campaign of ethnic cleansing has radically damaged relations between the Albanian majority and Kosovo’s small Serb-Montenegrin community, but also because a mountain of misunderstandings lies between them. The enemies of peace would like Kosovars to fall into the trap of hatred and seek to do to the Serbs what the Serbs did to them. But it is well known that, after every war ends, putting the “mine of hatred” to use has never been the way to build peace. Our brothers of the same blood know this better than anyone.
