Letter: Isolating Serbia
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Robin Cook has agreed to bow to European pressure and isolate Serbia.
We are constantly told how the majority of the population in Kosovo are Albanian. That means the Serb population is the minority. The Serbs are now to be isolated, surrounded by Croatia and Albania, historical enemies.
The Serb population was decimated during the Second World War by the Croat Ustashe. Now they are to be diplomatically punished yet again, for managing what might be called terrorism in their own country. Albania clearly has territorial aims in Kosovo. Arms are flowing in from Albania.
Serbia was the only Balkan territory that refused to ally with the Nazis and it was surrounded by Nazi puppet states. Will it now find itself in a similar hopeless situation? What right does the EU have to instigate what might become an unstoppable persecution of Serb civilians?
