Letter: Let Kosovo defend itself
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.A CLEAR and unequivocal message on Kosovo must be sent by today's meeting of the Six Nations Contact Group on former Yugoslavia.
That is that further terror against the 90 per cent majority Albanian population by Belgrade's police and army will not be tolerated.
Surely we have learnt the cost of appeasing Slobodan Milosevic, Europe's last dictator.
Had we stood up to him in 1992 four years of war in Bosnia could have been avoided. If he is allowed to continue this slaughter while denying Kosovo the autonomy he removed in 1989 the consequences for the region and Europe as a whole will be catastrophic.
