Kosovo
The United States will support Kosovo at the UN hearings in December. U.S. State Department confirmed the decision today.The UN verdict is expected in early 2010.
Sixty-two countries have recognized Kosovo independence so far.
The ruling in any case will not influence in a technical sense Kosovo's bid to get a seat in the United Nations. But it will give political ammunition to either Kosovo or Serbia in an ongoing confrontation in a still hot part of Europe. A positive opinion of pro-Kosovo independence would have a huge positive impact on the unfortunately still-fragile stability in the region.
The idea that Serbia or Russia can at this stage roll back Kosovo's statehood is horrifying to the EU.
The states of the International Steering Group have said that they see Kosovo's independence as irreversible. So I don't think, realistically, that things can go backwards for Kosovo," Andy McGuffie, a spokesman for the ICO, the steering group's Kosovo-based office, said.
The International Steering Group is a club of 25 countries formed in February 2008 to help put Kosovo on its feet. The roll call of members includes 20 EU states plus Croatia, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and the US.
The US and EU have since the birth of Kosovo argued that its statehood is a unique "sui generis" case which cannot be used as a model for other breakaway entities. The US and EU is providing support to promote economically sustainable institutions in all sectors, including the energy sector.
Nobody win in a war except the merchants of death, arms dealers . The only war we should have is a war against poverty. If Serbia and Kosovo work together, share together, they will make border disputes unnecessary. Countries that start a war will lose, that was the case and that will be the case. Countries must look forward for growth and development. Any country that look backward will stay backward
Illyria , Illirians, Albanians have 5000 years history in Kosovo in Albania.
Kosovo is not Serbian land. Serbians emigrated from Russia in 6th century.
The area of Kosovo in the Neolithic lay within the areal of the Vinca-Turdas culture Western Balkanic black and grey pottery
The Bronze Age begins in ca. the 20th century BC, and the Iron Age begins in ca. the 13th century BC. Bronze and Iron Age tombs have been found only in Metohija, and not in Kosovo.
The area comes to lie within the eastern parts of the kingdom of Illyria in the 4th century BC, bordering on Thrace. At the time, it is inhabited by the Thraco-Illyrian tribes of the Dardani and the Thracian tribe of the Triballi.Illyria was conquered by Rome in the 160s BC, and made the Roman province of Illyricum in 59 BC.
The Kosovo region became part of Moesia Superior in AD 87 alternatively was divided between Dalmatia and Moesia, a view which is supported by archaeological evidence. Upper Moesia was reorganized further by Diocletian (after 284) into smaller provinces, being further divided into Dardania, Moesia Prima, Dacia Ripensis and Dacia Mediterranea.
The Dardania’s capital was Naissus. Roman province of Dardania included eastern parts of modern Kosovo, while its western part belong to newly formed Roman province Prevalitana with capital in Doclea.
Justinian I, who assumed the throne of the Byzantine Empire in 527, oversaw a period of Byzantine expansion into former Roman territories, and re-absorbed the area of Kosovo into the empire. He is often referred to by historians as the last “Roman” emperor because Latin was his native tongue and because he was the last emperor to make a serious attempt to reunite the Latin-speaking West with the East.The Slavic migrations reached the Balkans in the 6th to 7th century. The area was absorbed into the Byzantine empire in the 850s.
Kosovo is the land of Illiria, Albanian Land.
