Kosovo conflict solution


Solution for the Kosovo/Balkan tragedy, as often in complicated and long lasting (historic) conflicts, is simple and in plane sight, but takes moral courage, instead of moral panic, equanimity in action - to be resolved.
Kosovo should, and could not be sustainable as another Albanian national state, and it is obvious it could not be dominated by Serbia, or be EU protectorate  indefinitely. It should, and must be some kind of supported state, for both Kosovo Albanians, and Kosovo Serbs, and all other that live on this blood soaked land.

And as such it should be recognized by all. Serbia included. Serbia should more over find the political key to do what it can to help whole Kosovo and all Kosovars, with chances for jobs, education and human perspective and culture progress. To help life to grow and develop. Serbia should stop investing in death, and start helping life, thus helping its own people there, which today live their life’s between the rock and a hard place.
Solution for Kosovo is federation state of two constitutional nations, Serbian and Albanian, with two house parliament, and with Serbia and Albania as its non biased non partisan helpers. Demilitarized, decentralized, prosperous and with chances for all the people.
Three keys
First key is cultural progress and reciprocity in language, Albanian and Serbian (Serbo/Croat /Yugoslav language) should be equal and studied through the whole educational system as necessary. This would help Serbs to feel more at home and overcome the fear that they will be overrun by Albanian majority. To Albanians it would open many chances for education, work, and social progress towards EU through the ex YU sphere, not just Serbia and Belgrade
Second key is political: Reciprocity in political institutions. Prime minister Albanian, president Serbian. Cabinets mixed. Necessary precondition is to Kosovo Serbs feel Kosovo as their home without loosing their pride of being Serbians in the same time, and to act in the interest of their country.   
Economy is the third and most important key. With this two first key the conditions are met for economy to come to life, for Kosovo to start producing something, and create opportunity for its citizens, by opening itself towards Ex YU sphere.

Peace in Balkans - The tale of two eagles

Serbia and Albania share great responsibility for the future of Balkans. Two nations,that clashed with each other in War in Kosovo, that ended with intervention of international community, have similar historic situation with large quantity of national corpus being outside of its the borders. But this is the fate, the trouble and...the chance.
For Albania, it is Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, For Serbia it is Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro and again Kosovo. As Tim Judah has noticed there can be Serbo and Albo-sphere in Balkans, but it would be much better if two nations could work together to heal the whole Balkans, by healing the Kosovo, that is now sad story of organized crime, human rights violation, and hopeless yang people.

If, after centuries of war and blood spilling, Black (Albanian) and White (Serbian) Eagle could find some of many similarities that connect them, and not so much being focused only on color that divides them, it can be possible for  the whole Region to move forward. It would also be a great example for the Europe, how to incorporate Islamic and Balkan identity into European identity, explaining in terms of regional identity what does it mean to be European, after all.
This is a huge task, and not easy to complete, not to be understood as task for only top politicians, and media campaign, but long term determination, and many different projects. If completed with success it could be one of greatest assets of the two nations in process of joining EU.

Ending the war in Europe

What is the essence of European identity? What is the purpose of united Europe?
It is without a doubt - Peace.
As with peace all things begin to make sence and have meanining. Without peace everything we see is just someone elses agenda, another plot to trick us, robe us of something dear and near.
European identity is without doubt universal humanity.
Europe as old continent has reached, touched, and changed, all other continents, thus it should be a place of unification, gathering and promotion of universal values.
Death of Yugoslavia was warning, but also let us hope it can become a vaccine to get new imunity to European peace project.
But the peace project is not the goal in itself, we need peace in order to think straight, and build better, not to sleep in peace.
