Authorities act under pressure of larger powers overseeing the independence of Kosovo and end up not pursuing any course of action, says Bojan Brkic, reporter and political analyst from Belgrade.

If Ceku eventually stands trial, this will give Serbia the chance to exercise its right to try individuals from its former breakaway region and subsequently confirm its sovereignty over Kosovo – the territory it still considers to be Serbian, suggests Bojan Brkic.

KOSOVO is SERBIA and the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Kosovo is not even a word in Albanian. Kosovo was stolen from Serbia by the USA so that they could have YET ANOTHER place to interfere with the lives of innocent people. And so that could build another military base to aggrevate Russia and cause MORE problems in the world. I know several Serbian families from the Krajina in Croatia whose older family members were MURDERED by "soldiers" commanded by that butcher Ceku. Ceku was and is a PAID AMERICAN AGENT of destruction. He will not stand trial for his war crimes because the USA protects its islamic agents of destruction. There is a murderous and villanious Chetchyan agent living in Washington, DC right now under US protection.

@Steven Grumman Watch the US documentary Yugoslavia the Avoidable war on Google video on how western powers especially Germany and the US helped establish independent states of Croatia and Bosnia which the assistance and compliance of most of the Western mass media on staged events to provoke a response from Yugoslav army or Serb forces including providing massive arm shipments while giving the official pretext of negotiating peace agreement between the different factions. Like letting Iran and other Muslim states provide arms and training to Muslim forces in Bosnia and training Croat and Muslim forces through a private US military contractor MPRI (who were also training Georgian forces before Georgia’s assault on South Ossetia) to launch an assault on the ethnic Serb conclave of Krajina in Croatia in 95 killing 10,000 and ethnically cleansing 200,000 the entire Serb population which Cheku was a part of.

Kosovo should be allowed to pursue its free and independent path and should not be persecuted by Serbia. That Yugoslavia exists no more is a shame - and it was foolish for the country not to restore its monarchy after the dictator Tito died. Without a united Yugoslavia under its king, there is now a collection of independent states that have little means of self-defense and need to seek the protection of big powers. The big powers will only help if it's in their interest and if they can manipulate things to their advantage.
