He was very smooth and confident in his handling of the question and answer session that followed until almost at the end when a question was asked about the urgent issue of the children in the Osterode/Cesmin Lug IDP camps. This seemed to be the only time he was outside his comfort zone. I was rather taken aback by the way he responded to the questioner. To give him the benefit of the doubt before she got round to mentioning the camp the person who asked the question spoke about the problematic situation of the Roma and he may have got hold of the wroing end of the stick as a result but that was no excuse for losing his temper at her. I was rather taken aback by the way that as an experienced politician he seemed unable to deal with her intervention more reasonably, and even though he may have misunderstood the point she was making it was unacceptable for him to follow up his generalised expression of concern for the children of Kosova with such a summary dismissal of the exceptional mortality and morbidity risk to which 324 specific children were being exposed in the camps. That was disappointing and what was also disappointing was the way in which the questioner was subsequently berated by a Kosovar journalist who attacked her for raising the lead poisoning issue while so many Kosovar Albanians were still living in camps. These children are suffering from lead poisoning to a degree that is unprecedented in the medical/scientific literatiure. It is not a matter for which Kosova should feel it is being blamed, the shame lies at the door of UNMIK, the camp administration and the international community which has the necessary facilities to provide treatment which Kosova lacks. This is why I fail to t understand the savage response evoked by what was fundamentally a request for an expression of concern and support. - Owen Sat, 22 Nov 2008 19:43:04 +0100
