An interesting precedent here.
Mr Bush has declared in Albania that Kosovo should become independent. A big crowd pleaser in Tirana it is understandably less popular in Belgrade.
The population in Kosovo is now about 90% ethnic Albanian or indeed actual Albanian, as the border leaked like a sieve. I say it is an interesting precedent because it seems to suggest that if enough illegal immigrants enter a country and shift the population predominantly in their favour then they can declare independence. Kosova can hardly exist as a landlocked tiny country without close ties to Albania. It has been the desire of the Albanians to futher the cause of "greater Albanian" for a 100 years or more and was one of the Balkan flashpoints.
We live interesting times. Does Bush know what he is doing I ask myself and if he does what are his aims?
