A new constitution has come into force in Kosovo - handing power to the majority ethnic Albanian government after nine years of UN rule.
"It comes four months after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in a move backed by the West but opposed by Serbia and its ally, Russia. An EU mission is being deployed in a supervisory role, but Russia has blocked a formal handover from the UN. Serbia says the constitution will not apply in Serb-dominated north Kosovo. "Serbia does not accept the proclamation of Kosovo's constitution as a legal fact," Serbian President Boris Tadic said in Belgrade. The minister for Kosovo in the outgoing Serbian government, Slobodan Samardzic, is due in the divided city of Mitrovica, where he is expected to announce the establishment of a new Serbian parliament in Kosovo, made up of Serb representatives elected in Serbian elections in May."
I've noticed that many of the same people here who support the war on terror and who harp on about the issues of Muslim immigration into Europe and appeasement seem to have no gripe with Kosovo gaining independence and redrawing the borders in that region. If we are to take the idea of immigrants posing a threat to our Western constitutions seriously (e.g. demanding Sharia systems of Government once Muslim numbers are high enough in a community or population) then what's happening in Kosovo is a huge step towards that kind of situation. It is an actual example of enough immigrants filling up an area to declare their own little country and removing the power from the original Government of the land..and what is the Western world doing (including the US)? Appeasing them.
Kosovan independence is the same thing in principle as all the Muslims in the UK being given a separate Shariah state.
