Please don't pay any attention to the comment from Misha , he obviousely spews one sided statements and propoganda strieght from Belgrade . Thaci and Haradinaj have done nothing but help Kosovars gain their independence and freedom from serb oppression , of which the Albanians have been suffering from since the end of the Ottoman occupancy! HE comments as if Thaci has appointed himself ,or was appointed by the U.S. . Unlike Russia and serbia , Kosova is a real democratic country NOW ! Everything that has been done in Kosova has been decided by the people of Kosova ! For the world's newest country, the government of Kosova has been admired by many world powers for doing a very good job. Let's not forget that Rome was not built in a week ! By declaring their independence Kosovars have gained their vision back to see a bright future ahead of them and they will now also be able to determine their future too ! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE KOSOVARS ON THEIR INDEPENDENCE - Mike Z Fri, 09 May 2008 23:58:09 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080501919/Henry-H.-Perritt/Opposition-politics-for-independent-Kosova.html#comment-1503 Dear Mr. Perritt, are you really a Professor of Law?? Not only is this article poorly researched i.e. one-sided propaganda, but it is also painfully boring! I understand that your just spewing out the same old propaganda, but please try to spend more than 5 mins when writing something and try to show some coherence as your article is pointless. Anyway, here are a few things you need to mention. On May 2nd UN prosecution have appealed Haradinaj’s acquittal. Haradinaj academic qualifications range from construction worker to security guard. Is this someone albanians really want as a leader of your new nation?? Hashim Thaçi (the Snake) is alleged to have extensive criminal links. (According to the Washington Times) he has been accused of trafficking heroin and cocaine into Western Europe to fund KLA activates. In fact, The Democratic Party of Kosovo has been accused of regularly employing violence and intimidation of political rivals to maintain local political control and protect criminal enterprises, which depend upon cooperation from friendly local authorities. Thaçi in particular is seen as being central to the criminal activities of the Kosovo Protection Force, who were reportedly extorting money from businessmen under the guise of "taxes" for Thaçi's self appointed government. The fact that the Democratic Party of Kosovo was seen as both corrupt and criminal lead directly to the electoral defeat of the DPK in the first free elections in the province in 2001. The BBC stated at the time, " The tumbling reputation of the former KLA was to have a disastrous effect on the PDK because of the perceived overlap between its political leadership and post-KLA organised crime. Not that it matters to me, but do Albanians really want these people in charge of your newly declared, independent state? Do you seriously think that you are doing yourselves any favours by having these two individuals as leaders for your country?? Could you not find some people with more integrity and credibility than these two shady characters? In my opinion this is just playing into the hands of the Serbians. Albanians need to step up and take charge, to show the world that they can do better. - Misha Thu, 08 May 2008 16:09:04 +0100
