Serbian KLA

Nemanja, ptt.yu

    Q: Should the Serbs now found a KLA of their own after the Army capitulated on Kosovo and the NATO invaders come in?

    Whether they will found it, is one question, and whether that would be wise, is quite another. Maybe a better strategy would be economic cooperation with Kosovo, making both sides rich. The poor are far easier to get driven into a nationalistic frenzy; rich citizens don't get turned on by it, not that easy. As dr Branko Horvat said once "The Kosovo problem will be solved once Albanians get used to go skiing".

    Until then, having one poor fighting against the other poor can only bring more of the same, and postpone the day when they will be able to have a normal life.
