Serbian Government recalls Serbian ambassador to Washington

Belgrade, Feb 18, 2008 – Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica stated tonight in the Serbian parliament that the fact the US has recognised the fictitious state of Kosovo cannot make that state a real one and that the Serbian government has immediately recalled the Serbian Ambassador to Washington.

The Serbian government’s official web site gives the Prime Minister’s speech in full.

"Honourable parliament members,

Prior to the beginning of this parliament session we heard US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice state that the US has recognised the fictitious state of Kosovo. Before the US, only Afghanistan has done so. This announcement by the US cannot turn a fictitious state into a real one, but it shows to the entire world the true violent face of the American policy of force. The Serbian government has recalled the Serbian Ambassador to Washington. This is the government’s first emergency measure which will apply to all countries that recognise the unilateral independence.

Yesterday, on February 17, 2008, the fictitious state of Kosovo was illegally declared on the territory of the sovereign Serbian state. Today begins our continuous fight to fully regain the entire province and restore Serbia’s constitutional order. That is our goal and Serbia will attain it. If we cannot fully achieve it today, we will do so tomorrow, because Serbia must remain free. Those who helped this fictitious state to come about forgot that Serbia has never and will never give up freedom.

Yesterday’s illegal act violated the UN Charter, Resolution 1244, the Helsinki Final Act and all norms of international law which international order is based on. The unilateral declaration of the fictitious Kosovo state directly jeopardises Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, its Constitution and constitutional order, as well as all legal and legitimate acts made by Serbia’s highest state institutions.

With its decision of February 14, 2008, the Serbian government in advance annulled all illegal acts of interim self-governing organs in Kosovo-Metohija and declared them null and void. This means that the unilateral declaration of this fictitious state on our soil has no legal consequences in the Republic of Serbia. Kosovo-Metohija remains an unalienable part of Serbia’s unified and indivisible constitutional and state legal order, and Serbs and all citizens of the southern Serbian province, who acknowledge the Republic of Serbia, are full and equal citizens of Serbia and have the right not to recognise illegal acts pertaining to the declaration of unilateral independence.

US never explained why it suppors Albanians but ignores Serbs who live in Kosovo.

A PLAN FOR THE POLITICAL SOLUTION TO THE SITUATION IN KOSOVO AND METOHIJA


The basic political and legal documents of the contemporary civilisation have reaffirmed and strengthened the universal values of inherent dignity, equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family, which create the foundaton of freedom, justice and peace in the world. The documents such as the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms are explicit that the protection of human life, freedom and safety is the vital duty of each and every public authority, including governments and inter-state bodies – international organisations and their security and legal mechanisms.


This duty deserves utmost prominence if a mandate to guarantee and provide effective protection for these values has been granted to the United Nations, as is the case in the Province of Kosovo and Metohija, where the world organisation has been present since the end of the 1999 war, under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244. The United Nations was created to “reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person.” However, the materialisation of the aforementioned civilisational values in Kosovo has been either impossible or seriously hindered since the United Nations arrived in the province. The historic and inherited, as well as more recent reasons for such a situation, also include a vast ethnic distance, which often translates itself into ethnic hatred and intolerance. The most pronounced manifestation of the former is the extreme animosity of ethnic Albanians, who make up a majority of the Kosovo population, towards the Kosovo Serbs, hardly one-third of whom remained in the province after it was placed under the U.N. authority in June 1999.


Serbia does not want to diminish any effort by the international military and civilian missions in Kosovo and Metohija to curb inter-ethnic conflicts, but the above said explains why the U.N. mandate, as provided by the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244, has been so difficult to realise. Under the Resolution 1244, the United Nations was to “establish and oversee the development of provisional democratic self-governing institutions to ensure conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosovo ..., to assure the safe and unimpeded return of all refugees and displaced persons to their homes in Kosovo..., and to protect and promote human rights.”


The events in Kosovo that took place from March 17 to March 19, 2004, assuming the proportions of a pogrom and ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Serbs, unveiled the failure of the U.N. mandate to protect the life, freedom, safety, property, prosperity, religious sites and cultural heritage of the Kosovo Serb community. We believe that most of the U.N. mission discharged their duties conscientiously and in good faith, and that the reason for the failure was the objective inability of a couple of tens of thousands of soldiers from NATO member states and other countries to offer effective physical protection to a hundred thousand Serbs, their property and churches, scattered throughout quite a large territory.

The nationalist intolerance demonstrated by the majority population is so powerful that it literally threatens the physical existence of local Serbs on the territory they have inhabited continually for more than ten centuries. Neither the United Nations nor the international community took this into account when they accepted a mission to preserve peace and protect human rights in Kosovo and Metohija. Consequently, it is necessary to change the institutional framework and the policy supposed to create conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo and to ensure their safe and unimpeded return to the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, from which they were forcibly expelled. Likewise, it is necessary to provide for efficient protection and promotion of human rights in accordance with European norms and standards, since the province, the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, and the entire region for that matter, comprise a natural part of the European civilisation.

I was there in 1999, thought we were doing the right thing before I left, then got down there and realized that it was complete bullshit (aside from being unconstitutional).

And they are right, the Albanians did kill a LOT of Serbs after we went in there.

Serbia recalls more ambassadors over Kosovo independence
28/ 02/ 2008


BELGRADE, February 28 (RIA Novosti) - Serbia is continuing to recall its ambassadors from those countries, which have officially recognized Kosovo's independence, as it summoned diplomatic heads in Austria and Switzerland home Thursday.

Serbia has already recalled its ambassadors from the United States, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Australia and Peru, which have all recognized Kosovo's independence announced on February 17.

The Serbian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that other ambassadors should leave those countries supporting Kosovo's new status as soon as possible and has also issued a note of protest to the Polish government, which announced it would recognize the former Serbian province.
Kosovo's independence is opposed by Serbia and Russia. Moscow said it will block any move by Kosovo to join the United Nations.
