DW: Alone Vuciq for Kosovo against all of Serbia

It is not often so that the strong man at the head of state in Serbia, Aleksandar Vuciq, is attacked on all sides, by the opposition, however, by the powerful Orthodox Church and by a quiet majority within the ranks of his ruling party, writes German news agency DPA.

However, the president of state will now resolve the ongoing conflict with Kosovo inhabited mainly by Albanians and already breakaway ten years ago from Serbia. He has promised that to German Chancellor Angela Merkel for years. In exchange for Berlin and Brussels, they have turned a blind eye to what Vuciq does in his country, with the media or with justice.
The important thing is that Vuciq manages to establish compromise in Kosovo. And he must now offer results. Last week for the first time he spoke clearly: There must be a <x0 limit” between the two peoples. In the event against Albanians with the high quota of nightliness could lie deep in Serbian core territory, he argues. If there is no solution, then the mass evacuation of disappointed Serbs that is happening today will be dramatic, he draws attention.

The population may drop from seven million today to four million. In addition, the Serb minority in Kosovo is dramatically shrinking. With the definitions, media understand the union of northern Kosovo inhabited by Serbs with Serbia. In exchange for the region around the southern Serbian town of Presheva, with the Albanian majority, writes Deutsche Welle, citing German news agencies (tb/dpa/vfb).

“A split means war for me”, Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj reacted to this statement.

While President Hashim Thaci, who will be more concerned about fellow countrymen in the Presevo Valley, vows to citizens that with Serbia there will be <x0-> lost compromises”.

Germany is firmly against establishing new borders. Berlin fears that this could serve as an example in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro or Macedonia. The entire Balkans could again be involved in the flames of war as in the 1990s.

But, at first, Vuciq must attract citizens to Serbia. This still takes hard work. In the latest survey over 71 percent want to give up EU membership, if recognition of Kosovo is for that condition, according to international law. 43 percent are for freezing the conflict to expect better times - more than any other option.

He took a change of opinion from citizens only by linking this to his political future. In the latest survey, it finds more than absolute support.

About 150 years of Kosovo with medieval monasteries and battlefields has been at the centre of the formation of the Serbian nation. “As Serbia's <x1ndner” has been named it or even as Serbia's “Jewialem”.

The Express newspaper calls for now to end “the reverbation of myths, air sales, construction of phrases and other fraud”. While National-Conservative MP Aleksandar Cotic ridicules the Radicals within his ranks: “preparedness for Kosovo's liberation is extraordinary. People want war”, he writes in the newspaper “Danas”: “Listen to our patriotic analysts! America stands before collapse, the EU is breaking apart, Russia and China will rule the planet. The anti-Serbian West is giving soul”.
