Islamic Countries Will be First to Recognize Independent Kosovo
By Julia Gorin (bio)
Good going, my Fellow Americans! Thanks for taking an interest in this issue that I’ve been warning about for the past nine years, thereby preventing the result below. (NOT!) Thanks especially to the A-List blogs that helped disseminate the information (NOT!), to make sure we weren’t still abetting jihad after 9/11. I am filled with pride and patriotism as an American over our accomplishment:

Albania, Saudi Arabia first to recognize Kosovo

BRUSSELS, KOSOVSKA MITROVICA — Beta says an analysis shows Kosovo’s unilateral declaration will first be recognized by some Islamic countries.
The news agency has had insight into the document, put together “by some EU countries”, that says the province’s independence declaration, rejected by Serbia, will be recognized in “three waves”.
Albania, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and some other Muslim countries will lead the way, the report says.
This will be followed by Austria, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Belgium, and, the document speculates, France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy.
The United States is also likely to recognize Kosovo very soon.
The “second wave” is said to include Croatia and Macedonia.
Others will be careful and wait to see how the situation develops, bearing in mind the precedent such recognition sets.
Russia, China, Cyprus, and a number of EU countries that were earlier reported as opposed to the recognition, that include Romania, Bulgaria, Spain, Slovakia and Greece, will not recognize Kosovo.
The presence of the first two countries on that list also means that the province cannot count on a UN seat, or membership in a number of other international organizations where Russia has the veto power.
Bosnia-Herzegovina’s recognition will be made impossible by the Republic of Srpska’s objection, the study concluded, and added that countries such as India, Brazil and Argentina are also “very critical” toward the possibility of recognizing Kosovo as a separate country.
Meanwhile, DuĊĦan Janjic, who heads the Forum for Ethnic Relations, said that “independence of Kosovo and Metohija, which the United Nations will not recognize, will have only political and psychological weight at first,” while “only later will it become evident that it is not what the Kosovo Albanians had expected.”
In a live broadcast by the Kosovska Mitrovica radio Kontakt Plus, Janjic said late Saturday that the self-proclaimed independence “will not bring full freedom, better life, while new passports will not enable them to travel everywhere.”
“Around 40 countries will recognize them, which is fewer than the number of countries that recognize passports issued by UNMIK today. That will be the beginning of a dangerous phase, which is when the Albanians will realize that it is not what they had been promised for the past 20 years. That will open room for extremists,” cautioned Janjic.
Which reminds me to mention that the next phase of fighting will be the Kosovo-Albanian leaders who have been working through the international community, and issuing only veiled threats to get what they want while still claiming to have no interest in uniting Albanian lands — against the Albanians who have been working to create a Greater Albania from the get-go via violence in Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Southern Serbia, issuing daily and open threats to the international community, and organizing the violent protests of the past two years.
As with Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank, these two factions are merely different shades of, and employ varying methods of acheiving, the same ultimate goal. But for now, as the extremists risk messing progress up for the “former” extremists, they’ll be shooting at each other, as has been happening for the past several years already. So at least there’s that.
But to be a good sport on this special day: Happy Birthday, KKKosova!!!!!
