Special operation of Kosovo independence successful in every aspect?

February 17 marked the fifth anniversary of the proclamation of the so-called "independence" of Kosovo. The event looked like a special operation to break the cradle of Serbia's statehood away from the country. Unfortunately, the Serbian authorities, under the pressure of the West, move closer to the recognition of the region. Noteworthy, the separatist "Pandora's box" opened in other parts of Europe.

Yugoslavia Partition Timeline

Troubled Times: From Slovenia to Kosovo

Much of this material was taken from:

The September 2001 issue of World Press Review (VOL. 48, No. 9), and
The Reporter (independent weekly), Belgrade, Yugoslavia, June 20, 2001.

 

When it all started, nobody expected it to last as long as it did. Especially considering the fact that the developments in Slovenia in June 1991 resembled an opera fashioned in the spirit of the famous words of an anonymous soldier who, explaining to a reporter what was happening, said in irony and desperation: “It’s as if they are trying to become independent and we are letting them.” Afterward, the famous “as if” became the typical characteristic of the many bloody events that have unfolded for 10 long years, spinning out like film from a reel, until Macedonia this June. The events followed the same road the naive Yugoslavs proudly called the road of “Brotherhood and Unity.” In this way, from northwest to southeast, the flames of war, directed as though by a secret hand pulling the strings of evil, engulfed the countries of the former Yugoslavia one by one.
 

Summary of the partition of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

1. SLOVENIA - 1991 (After a short war, Slovenia obtains independence)

2. CROATIA – 1991 (After fighting, Croatia declares independence, but recognition comes slowly)

3. MACEDONIA – 1991 [Peacefully seceded from Yugoslavia; recognizes September 8 as Independence Day;]

4. BOSNIA (& HERZEGOVIA) - 1992

5. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA - 1992 (Formed of Montenegro and Serbia, with Serbia including Kosovo)

6. KOSOVO - 2008 (After existing as an international [NATO] protectorate within Yugoslavia since 1999, it declares its independence on Feb. 17.)

The emerging Canterbury superstate

In terms of inventions Cantabrians have given the world the the mobile phone (partly), camera chips for phones, SMS messaging and the first anti-virus software; Canterbury has the highest percentage of home computers per capita and the third most educated workforce on earth, with 12 per cent holding advanced degrees. The country also has more engineers and scientists per capita than any other country around the world, and has more companies quoted on the high-tech NASDAQ stock exchange than any other country outside the United States, more than all of Europe, India, and China combined.

Cantabrians are also at the forefront of medical research into heart transplants, strokes and Hepatitis C. Incredibly, some Cantabrians are even at work on a space mission, which could make that tiny state of 550 thousand people the third country to land a probe on the Moon.Cantabrians on the Moon? Conspiracy theorists won’t know where to start.

In the last ten years Canterbury scientists have won five Noble prizes in the sciences, a tally bettered by only four other nations, while per capita Canterbury produces more economists than any other country.

Canterbury also publishes a huge number of Scientific and Technical Journal Articles, some 16,470 in 2005, more than the entire Asian world and Australia combined. And the Cantabrian state produces an astonishing number of inventors. Last year in the United States ICantabrians registered 1917 patents, just below Italy (58 million people) and the Netherlands (15 million) and way ahead of its neighbours  Canterbury grants itself 2500 patents a year, putting it in the top 20 of all countries and again more than all its neighbours combined.Canterbury is number one in the world for medical device patents per capita and number four for biotechnology patents per capita. And its biotechnology exports are now worth $6 billion a year.
