We are glad that on the latest report of the Secretary-General on the UNMIK (March 28, 2008), the map of Kosova has been updated. For the first time the label “Province of Kosovo” has been updated to just “Kosovo”, as well as the Kosova border with Serbia has been more emphasized. We are aware that all the borders are not labeled as international, but it is still a sign that UN is accepting a new reality.

Congratulations to Albania and Croatia!!!
We are glad that Albania and Croatia were invited to NATO and Macedonia will follow their path soon. We also wish Mr. Haradinaj (Kosova’s former PM) a safe return home.
