As I see it, they are either really unable to "reason" with the citizens under their own jurisdiction - as you put it - implying that they need more forces in there, or it's all being done (or at least - allowed to happen) for a certain purpose. And i don't know which is worse...

Will Mr. Joachim Ruecker blame the Serbian government when he fails to reason with the citizens of Kosovo who are under his jurisdiction?!<br/>This is pathetic! What’s next?

This is pathetic!

It's not that there is no external danger - it's VERY worrisome about the international system as a whole, in the sense of precendent that Kosovo sets and the implications it may have for other similar regions. And although I believe that internal Serbian politics will not have a major impact on global politics, I would agree with you to the extent that the outcome may decide the future of the official "handling" of the barrier that Kosovo sets on the path to the EU. And yet, as I already mentioned, I think that the US and EU (in the "name" of NATO) will make sure that the Kosovars are protected well enough, as their interests depend directly on that as well.<br/>In any case, I see Serbia in the position of making a very difficult choice at a time it is not exactly capable of making one. I just really hope that the pragmatic/realistic people will prove to be a majority, when the future is at stake...<br/>And well, unfortunately, at the moment we can't do more than just keep our fingers crossed... :( Yeah, well – as you pointed out, I did not make it clear enough.

A lot of countries think strongly about the Kosovo issue and that could lead to global disputes. I think it's probable that, if nationalism prevails in Serbia, it will try to take back Kosovo using any means necessary and Russia will most probably support it. :( I find it worrisome because the danger isn’t just internal.
