Yet Another Chance for Serbia

With the dissolution of Serbia’s government, once again the people of the infamous nation have the opportunity to align themselves with a progressive West which, in a way that defies logic, is still interested in salvaging the floundering statelet. With the recognition of Kosova by Bulgaria, Croatia and Hungary, surely Serbia is seeing the proverbial handwriting on the wall. Maybe there is an inkling of possibility that Serbia will reject nationalism based on hatred and will embrace healthy nationalism based upon ideals of equality and inclusion in the world community. A good start for the Serbians who live in the nation of Kosova would be cessation of law-breaking and violence in and around Mitrovica. Serbians have already murdered a French peace keeper, but thankfully KFOR is now squelching further violence . A good start for Beograd would be for the government to stop orchestrating and encouraging violence in Mitrovica. The independence of Kosova is a fait accompli and peace would be in the best interests of everyone involved. So once again Serbia finds itself teetering on the edge of an abyss. Let’s hope they choose wisely this time.
