Spin needs to stop!

No matter how hard USA and other pro-Albanian lobbyist countries press Serbia to "recognize" Kosovo that will not happen. Kosovo will rather continue to be a poor, undeveloped, aid-dependent Western protectorate, kept by NATO soldiers. Serbia has no reason to rush into any haste decisions to please Western bureaucrats since the main "carrot" of "EU membership" for Serbia doesn't even exist anymore. Only an empty rhetoric and that's it. No wonder why the support for EU in Serbia is at its historic low.
Also, somehow western political bloggers fail to mention a catastrophic state of human rights for Serbs living amongst Albanian population these days in Kosovo. Today only the total of 75 Serbs live behind the barbwire in Pristina, Kosovo's "capital" from over 40,000 Serbs who lived there before NATO marched in. From more then 200,000 Serbs ethnically expelled from Kosovo after NATO's intervention only a few hundred returned, mostly to sell their houses and leave again. If that's the "multiethnic" society you are trying to sell to the western public opinion than you guys are in big disillusion. Writings like this become an empty spin for the sake of the "regional stability" in Balkans. I hope you'd be able to post this comment. Thank you.
