[edit] On content and Agim Çeku

I edited this article by eliminating the following phrase:

"Also:

• Remove Serbs from Kosovo by force or itimidation."

It hardly seems as an unbiased, accurate comment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navisliburnia (talk • contribs) 22:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC).

That was the way it worked on the ground. KosMetfan 15:22, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

It is a fact that Agim Ceku is an indicted war criminal. 63.215.27.201 16:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

It is a fact that Agim Ceku has not been indicted by the ICTY or by any government other than of Serbia, his political & military foe in the conflict;

It is a fact that the UN administrator as well as governments around the world have accepted Agim Ceku as the Prime Minister of Kosovar & representative of the Kosovars in the final status negotiations.

It is a fact that Serbia is not a civil state and institutions in Serbia are prone to ethnic bias and corruption, as has been demonstrated by the supreme court of Serbia ordering a retrial of those convicted for the Vukovar massacres for the third time - it should be noted the Supreme court bench were Milosevic appointees. iruka 16:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

So according to you no one not accused by the ICTY is guilty of any crimes. 209.247.5.196 18:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

According to me:

• if a war crimes accusation comes from a politcal/military foe; &
• it is not corroborated by the ICTY or any other international government; &
• if the person is vetted by the UN for the Prime Ministership of Kosovo;

Then the original Serb govt allegation of war crimes is suspect to being politically motivated.

So if its obvious and corroborated by the facts. Who cares? Facts and reality does not matter compared to the word of the ICTY. The fact is clear that Ceku is war criminal who committed terrible atrocities against Serbs. 63.215.27.201 17:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

The fact is the ICTY haven't indicted Ceku b/c he has not committed any crimes.

The fact is Agim Ceku is, in addition to being a astute military commander, is an effective & well respected Prime Minister.

The fact is, Serbia sees the credibility that Agim Ceku brings to an independent Kosovo as a threat to it's goal of hanging on to the province, thus has embarked on a campaign of character assasination. iruka 14:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

His crimes against Serbs proves he has no character. KosMetfan 19:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I think the strongest evidence that disproves your comment is:

• He has not been indicted by the ICTY;
• His predecessor was indicted by & went to the Hague - proving that Albanian Kosovars were equally accountable to the court in the Hague as the Serbs or any other nation from the former Yugoslavia;
• His nomination and confirmation as PM was accepted by international institutions.

It would be pointless to indict any more Albanians because Ramush Haradinaj acts like a free man and can engage in politics almost as much as before he was indicted. Western powers have been clear that indicted Albanians who kill and engage in ethnic cleansing against Serbs are fine. That does not mean that they are not guilty. Ceku is especially guilty of crimes against Serbs. While Milosevic was never allowed to leave prison Ramush Haradinaj lives in Kosovo.KosMetfan 21:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Milosevic was deemed by the court as a flight risk b/c he did not surrender voluntarily. Ramush did surrender voluntarily. This just reflects the simple mechanics of the bail process - nothing conspiratorial here. iruka 06:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The comments from KosMetfan are so silly that they do not disserve to be taken seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Noah30 (talk • contribs) 08:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Update based on MA proposal

I'd suggest adding this sentence: "On February 2, 2007, UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari, in charge of the UN-led Kosovo Future Status Process, presented a draft comprehensive status proposal to Belgrade and Pristina. The proposal included provisions for the disbanding of the KPC. A new, lightly-armed Kosovo Security Force would be established at the same time, with members of the KPC invited to join the new force." Comments? Envoy202 03:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
