I think thats a misunderstanding. Its not Kosovo, but Albania. If you check out: http://www.msnbc.com/news/257351.asp Nevertheless its an important development. Albania has given up most of its sovereignty to NATO now. If you look at the map in the MSNBC report it looks as if the Kosovo were no longer part of Jugoslavia, but of Albania. First they redraw the maps, than they send in the troops to adjust fact and fiction... Johannes
