Kosovo NewBorn NAAC hails the will of
the Albanian people of Kosova for having earned the right to declare itself
free and independent! We greatly honor your courage, honor and dignity!
On Sunday, February 17, 2008, the newly elected government of the
Republic of Kosova declared its independence, in full compliance with
internationally accepted economic, political and social laws; and
subsequently has been recognized by the United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, and a daily growing list of countries from Europe,
Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Near and Far Asia.
On Thursday, February 21, 2008, Serbian authorities organized a rally
in the Serbian capital of Belgrade in opposition to Kosova's independence,
having declared all schools closed, and offering free bus and train
services to interested demonstrators. A few hours after Prime Minister
Vojislav Kostunica addressed the crowd, the embassies of the United States,
Britain, Germany, Slovenia, and Turkey, were attacked by Serbian mobs, and
an unidentified charred body was found inside the United States Embassy. By
international Conventions, each Embassy is the legal property of the guest
country and the host country is legally obligated to provide necessary
protection. The United States, having already removed from its Embassy all
personnel deemed non-essential, and along with other states, has notified
the Serbian authorities that they are being directly held responsible for
the damages.
"Kosovo Is Serbia" Rally, Belgrade, February 21, 2008 Now the Serbian authorities are attempting to incite riots in the
northern city of Mitrovica, to spread panic and fear to the Serbs living
below the city, so that they will flee across the Ibar river which runs
across the middle of the city, to try to partition Kosova. The
international community, NATO forces and international police have already
made clear that they will not allow that to happen. NAAC calls upon the
Serbs from Kosova to distance themselves from those using hatred and
violence, tools of the past to create animosity. The politicians of Serbia
must now accept what even their own people already know -- that Kosova is
already independent!
The Kosova politicians have endorsed the broadest minority rights
possible in Europe, and have agreed to provide protection of all ethnic
cultural and religious institutions for all its inhabitants; and further
agreed to collaborate with a European Union approved monitoring
institution, EULEX, comprised mainly of judges and police, to guarantee
implementation.
The Albanian people of Kosova have demonstrated, again and again,
through their cultural, spiritual and moral adherence, that they want to
live in an independent and free Kosova, which will a multiethnic and
multicultural society.
The National Albanian American Council is a not-for-profit organization
dedicated to advocating for Albanians and promoting peace and economic
development in the Balkans by fostering democratic policy, promoting
respect for human rights, and conducting educational and developmental
programs.
