Lobbying for Kosovo
BDnews24.com from Bangla Desh has an informative article how the US is lobbying there for recognition of Kosovo. The price: possibly a meeting between Obama and their prime minister when she visits Canada to see her daughter who lives there.

The Serbian and Russian appeals to UN Resolution 1244 are quite flimsy.
For one thing, it involves the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, something which does not exist anymore.
That entity has split into two nations. One of them, Montenegro, has already recognized the fact that Kosovo is independent from Serbia.
So, we now have the fact that one of the two nations that made up the Yugoslavia that is referred to in the resolution has already recognized Kosovo independence.
Again, it is time for Serbia to abandon its dreams of empire, of dominion over non-Serbian territories such as Kosovo.
