The eventual implementation of the six-point plan made by Belgrade and proposed by the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the EULEX deployment in Kosovo present a risk for Macedonia and other regional countries, possibly enticing a major regional war where ethnic cleansing and genocide could take place.

 

This is the assessment of the legal and political analysts in Macedonia, Jeton Shasivari and Biljana Vankovska. Shasivari said that elements for the partition of Kosovo and creation of ethnically divided territorial entity stand behind this six-point plan.

 

The approval of this plan and its implementation in Kosovo could have a very negative impact which would cause a domino effect in Macedonia, Montengro, Presheva Valley in southern Serbia having in mind that there are Albanian dominated regions. “I think that the international politicians who make decisions at the international level should be more aware of these facts. The six-point plan would cause a domino effect. For instance, there is a big part of Albanian dominated territory in Montenegro. There is also Presheva Valley,” the legal expert Jeton Shasivari said.

 

The professor at the University of Skopje Biljana Vankovska said that the international community should be very careful when dealing with Kosovo. She said that the international community should be committed in building a bridge of cooperation between Kosovar Serbs and Albanians, and not allow Kosovo’s eventual division through ethnic lines.

 

Meanwhile, the BDI deputy leader Rafis Aliti said that his political party strongly supports the stance of Kosovo authorities. The acceptance of Ban Ki-moon’s six-point plan would have a negative effect not only for the regional countries but also for other countries around the world. “It is not acceptable to have a double sovereignty in Kosovo is an independent country; therefore, the entire international community should respect this fact,” Aliti said.

 

Also, Albania Government has warned that six-point plan can destablize the entire region in the southeastern Europe.
