I have been sadly remiss of late in posting news and developments, an unforgivable lapse given the current state of EU negotiations and the Kosovo situation. I have been tweeting links to articles on my @robearin account, and I will start also posting again here. Just because things change does not mean they go away. Eternal vigilance is the price of the exchange of free thought.
Kosovo Albanians Protest in Capital
Ethnic Albanians are protesting in Kosovo's capital to show support for their ethnic kin in Serbia's tense southern sector.
The protesters chanted anti-Serbian slogans Saturday in the main square of Pristina, blaming Kosovo's government for not standing up for ethnic Albanians in the neighboring country.
Kosovo, which has an ethnic Albanian majority, used to be a province of Serbia until it declared independence in 2008, a move that Serbia still rejects.
Serbian authorities removed a monument erected in the town of Presevo to commemorate ethnic Albanians killed during the 2000 uprising against Serbia, a move that has prompted local outrage.
Serbia considers the fighters terrorists but the uprising ended with more civil rights for ethnic Albanians in southern Serbia.
