Join with us in saving Kosovo in 2007!
Help support the American Council for Kosovo!
Since its inception in April 2006, the American Council for Kosovo has had
a decisive impact in achieving a shift in momentum in favor of keeping the
Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija an integral part of Serbia.
Despite almost unanimous warnings that our task was impossible, we have
played a major role in the successful delay of a “final resolution” beyond
the supposed “deadline” of December 31, 2006. Now, with that deadline in
tatters, the supposedly “inevitable” outcome, an independent Islamic rogue
state, is looking increasingly doubtful!
But as with all public advocacy efforts – including our opponents’ ongoing
campaign to forcibly and illegally to detach Kosovo from sovereign Serbia –
this difficult work costs money. Indeed, even as we are turning the corner
in favor of the Serbian position, and the anti-Serbian campaign is looking
increasingly desperate, indications are that the pro-separation lobby
continues to outspend us by a sizable margin!
As the forces for separation of Kosovo and Metohija gear up for their final
push following the January 2007 Serbian elections, we need to ensure that
there is no relaxation of our efforts. This means we need to be able to
push the activities of the American Council for Kosovo to full throttle for
the coming year. To do that, we need your help!
That is why we are taking the unprecedented step of asking for public
contributions to sustain the work of the American Council for Kosovo. As
the list of countries coming out against detachment of Kosovo from Serbia –
Russia, China, India, Israel, Romania, Georgia, Greece, Spain, Portugal,
Ukraine, Slovakia – continues to grow, we have to work even harder to take
our messages to other receptive countries, especially in Europe. We need
to keep running print and radio ads to continue our education of the
Washington political class, where pro-separation voices find themselves
still holding the high ground but increasingly isolated. We need to
continue our up-to-the minute news and commentary and ground-breaking
educational conferences such as “Reconsidering Kosovo” (Washington, DC
September 2006) and “The Endgame in Kosovo: Western Options, Serbian
Strategy” (Belgrade, Niš, Mitrovica, and Gracancia December 2006).
And we need to do all this now! So please – read the following disclaimer
and instruction page and send your contribution today. Contributions of
any size to the American Council for Kosovo gratefully accepted!
