Politics-Schmalitics :P

Blah is about the only thing I can think of to say about the situation in Kosovo these days. There is still no clarification from UNHQ in NY for UNMIK and EUPT is in transition to EULEX without us. It is expected that a wave of some 300 people will arrive on 1 April and most of us are scratching our heads trying to figure out where on earth they'll find space since UNMIK officially got its hand slapped for starting transitioning without authorization from NY. The bottom line is that UNMIK is still in full operation according to the UN. So for all this time that we have criticized parallel local institutions now we have created parallel international institutions!
Serbia has requested the Security Council to maintain UNMIK in Kosovo while the UN has told Serbia to respect its mandate. I think a quote from Eric Cartman can be properly inserted...the UN told Serbia "Respect my Authoritah!" :)
