Letter: Media aid for Serbs
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: We must of course do all we can to help the refugees fleeing from Kosovo , but I do not believe a land incursion into Kosovo and/or Serbia would be either quick or successful. We need only to look at Northern Ireland to realise that racial, ethnic or religious conflicts cannot be solved by either partition or martial law .
Education is the key. Until all parties realise that they have far more in common than they have dividing them , tensions will always arise . In this instance one of the great forces for good could be the European Union. The carrot of EU membership and the resulting aid packages and trade benefits should be dangled in front of Serbia , on condition that they reverse the ethnic cleansing.
