EU wants supervision over Kosovo in return for aid 8 January 2008 | 09:18 | Source: B92, VOA LJUBLJANA -- The European Union is trying to steer Kosovo away from full independence, reports from Ljubljana said Sunday.
Voice of America (VOA) quoted Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša as saying that Kosovo's heavy dependence on EU assistance means it cannot be totally independent, and that the 27-nation bloc "wants supervisory powers in return for financial aid and a 2,000-strong assistance mission of legal experts and law enforcement agents."
Speaking to journalists in Ljubljana, Janša said Kosovo "will not have total independence," and added that such a European mission, designed to replace UNMIK, "would not be sent to a totally independent country, sovereign country."
On January 1, Slovenia took over the six month rotating EU presidency.
According to VOA, Janša today indicated the EU will "seek to conclude a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with both Serbia and Kosovo."
"Dangling such a scenario before Kosovo could be seen as an EU attempt to lure Kosovo away from seeking full-fledged independence," the agency reports from Ljubljana.

I fail to see the comedy in that. I just wanted to clear up the whole thing for everyone, so they know the whole of the EU statement, not just what a saddened Serb had to say. Btw, your the last person to tell anyone 'fetch', since you have made it your duty to fetch articles for the forum. Come to think of it, you contribute little else. Like a dog, all you seem to be able to do is bring us something without the ability to grant some adequate feedback.

But despite your opinion, you keep coming back for more, don't you?

I keep coming because the dog continually fetches me my newspaper and lays it on a comfortable spot.
