“It was frightening to see the demonstrators running, tumbling over each other to get away,” Premovic says of Tuesday’s clashes between Serbs and Nato troops. “There were hundreds of local people, young and old, and I could hear gunfire – tap-tap-tap. If the Americans want to kill me, then go ahead, I have nowhere else to go. But this has always been Serb land; there have never been Albanians here.”
“Serbs are disappearing everywhere,” he adds. “Croatia, Macedonia, and they are under pressure in Montenegro. What could we possibly hope for from the Albanians?”
“Every river has a source and every nation has its birthplace. The birthplace for every Serb is Kosovo. “And what happens when a river loses its source? It disappears,” he says. “But Serbs will never leave Kosovo. “No price and no amount of violence will force us out.”
With Albania now a full NATO member state and as such under the protection of the Alliance’s Article 5 mutual military assistance clause, calls for a Greater Albania at the expense of the territory of several other European nations have grown louder and more unrelenting.
Nine days later Albanian Prime Minister Berisha bluntly stated that “the national unity for all Albanians project should be a guiding light for politicians in Albania and Kosovo.” He insisted that “Albania and Kosovo must under no circumstances consider each other as foreign states.”
Albania is now a full NATO member and as such the Alliance itself could be called upon to react if Kosovo authorities provoke a confrontation with neighbors like Serbia and Macedonia and Albania insist that it and Kosovo are not “foreign countries.” If Albania intervenes on behalf of its “brother nation” in a military conflict with a non-Alliance adversary, NATO will ipso facto become involved.
A European Union official said on September 28 that a key witness in a war crimes trial in Kosovo has been found dead in a park in Germany.
EU rule of law mission spokesman Nicholas Hawton said German police are investigating the death of Agim Zogaj, known as "protected witness X" in the war crimes trial against a former ethnic Albanian rebel commander who is now a senior politician -- Fatmir Limaj.
Hawton gave no further details. Zogaj had been granted protected witness status in return for his testimony in the Limaj trial.

The way I hear it from my friends over there, KFOR is nothing but US/NATO backed military thugs for the drug production and transport over there. Is there any truth of that?
It has to be drugs. Kosovo has no industry worthy of mentioning.

thats correct Kosovo has no industry it has only three, Drugs, Coal, Oil. Camp bonsteel protects the oil pipeline in Kosovo.
In Kosovo Population below poverty line is at 30% (2010 est.) and Unemployment rate:45% (2009 est.) still growing high and wont be coming down.
What did you expect from who live on drugs in that part of europe?
Who are they protecting the oil pipeline from?

The Balkans are not done with - unless NATO and their Albanian allies kill off all the remaining Serbs. In fact they might as well kill the Croatians, the Macedonians, and the Montenegrans - Albanians will eventually want all of their land too.
At least eight NATO soldiers have been injured while trying to remove barricades set up by Serb residents in northern Kosovo.
