The World's Newest State - Kosovo

[Misty]

Kosovo just declared independence.

It will be interesting to see whether this tiny little nation has a future. By most accounts, the population is very young, and it will probably need guidance from the international community to develop into an "independent" state (used loosely, given globalization). Part of me thinks it should be annexed by Albania, but I don't think that's truly viable.

First Montenegro reclaims independence and now Kosovo. It has to piss Serbia off to no end. They controlled everything from Austria to Greece and now don't even have a coast anymore. Granted it doesn't mean that much today but it still has to be a blow to the old ego.

I'm guessing the European Union will be help this new nation get on its own two feet. And I doubt its neighbors would like to see it fail and destabilize the whole region all over again. So I don't see a total collapse. There may be attempts to annex it but I doubt the non-Ethnic Albanians would go along with that. It's just something to watch.

Kosovo is mostly Albanian, I believe, so even if they don't unite they'll at least have a friend on the border. Looks like Clinton and NATO's expedition has finally been vindicated.

Polish government now supports the Independence of Kosovo, after a week of hesitation.
Bad Polish government...

FYROM Kosovo = Fuckin' Yugoslavian Republic of Muslims Kosovo.

What a wonderful answer.

Frankly, if any nation deserves the "fucking" epithet, it's the Troublemakers-in-Chief of Europe, aka Fucking Serbia and their idiot blind natoinalist.

They make even Girafarig Magcargo look rabidly Anti-American.

OMG. But you DID get the joke, didn't you?

There was a joke? Ooooops.

No, actually I missed it. Pie on my face.

For those who didn't catch the joke:

FYROM Kosovo (Fuckin' Yugoslavian Republic of Muslims) was joke on FYROM Macedonia (Former Yugoslavian Republic Of Macedonia). Makes sense now?

Oh, you meant that. I did get that, I just thought there was another joke.
