Pakistan thinks Serbs are no better than Polaks.

Kosovo is legit.

okay guys how about this
serbia gets kosovo on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays
they're independent on tuesdays, thursdays, and saturdays
on sundays we form yugoslavia again

I want to subjugate Yugoslavia on Sundays.

France invades Russia during a fateful winter requests a re-vote if the US proposal is officially dropped.

the US already won the vote

the proposal was dropped when china accepted the offer of allowing taiwan to remain de facto independent

if we re-voted then the dropping would become pointless

school is a bitch!!
it's time





  Political status of Kosovo

Kosovo is a disputed territory and partially recognised state in Southeast Europe that declared independence from Serbia in February 2008 as the Republic of Kosovo. The small territory of Kosovo has been disputed over it's legitimacy for some years. Claiming it's own independence from Serbia in 2008, only few major countries have recognized it's independence.

It resides within the European Community, and was a part of the former Communist bastion of Yugoslavia. Stemming from the breakup of Yugoslavia at the end of the 20th century, and the ensuing Yugoslav wars. In 1999 the administration of the province was handed on an interim basis to the United Nations under the terms of UNSCR 1244 which ended the Kosovo conflict of that year. That resolution reaffirmed the sovereignty of Serbia over Kosovo but required the UN administration to promote the establishment of 'substantial autonomy and self-government' for Kosovo pending a 'final settlement' for negotiation between the parties.



The UN-sponsored talks began in February 2006, and though no agreement was reached between the parties, a proposal from UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari was presented in May 2007 which recommended 'supervised independence' for the province. After many weeks of discussions at the UN in New York, the United States, United Kingdom and other European members of the Security Council formally 'discarded' a draft resolution backing Ahtisaari's proposal on 20 July 2007, having failed to secure Russian backing.

On 17 February 2008 representatives of the people of Kosovo, acting outside the UNMIK's PISG framework issued a declaration of independence establishing the Republic of Kosovo. The International Court of Justice ruled that the declaration did not violate international law and argued that the signatory authors represented the broad will of the People of Kosovo, rather than the Assembly of Kosovo under the umbrella of UN resolution 1244.

A method must be created to protect Kosovo's independence gracefully or return it to Serbia.



You may now create solutions to this issue.

the solution: give it to serbia

the US is too busy eating belgian waffles to care about kosovo right now

Switzerland's plan:

Set up an interim, UN-lead government that satisfies both parties until a democratic election, in a year or two, is conceived. Since the Republic of Kosovo has some legitimacy, their autonomy shouldn't be thrown out of the window. The vote will only cover those who have had permanent residence in the region for 3 weeks before the signing of this resolution.

Once the election is carried out with the approval of UN representatives, the votes will be tallied (options can be petitioned by the people of the Kosovo region themselves, but should follow a "Yes" or "No" and maybe a "Other" option). The results will be announced and the UN will provide peacekeeping during any change in regime. There will be a grace period of 1 year to make doubly sure the election was not rigged in any one favor.
