And Kosovo is free

A free Kosovo, a Muslim-majority nation in the heart of Europe, at long last.

Kosovo on Sunday declared its independence from an angry and anxious Serbia in the final fallout from the conflict-strewn breakup of the former Yugoslavia.

Tens of thousands of flag waving people packed the capital, Pristina, as the Kosovo parliament voted a declaration of independence which insisted that the world’s newest state would be “dedicated to peace and stability.”

The parliament also approved a new flag for the landlocked state of about two million people.

Its about time, too. Also I am sure that my Kosovo brothers in Islam, Asdren Zajmi and Halil Ibrahimi, must be very happy that their country is at last free from the yoke of Serbian occupation. Congratulations to you both!
