The SND urges all its members, friends and supporters: TELL YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN TODAY SAY "NO!" TO CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTIONS FAVORING INDEPENDENT KOSOVO It is anticipated that Congress will soon consider two similar non-binding resolutions endorsing an independent Kosovo. While these resolutions would not have the force of law, their passage would be important political endorsement of a misguided U.S. State Department policy, which supports the one-sided and discredited Ahtisaari plan. Since democratic Serbia will not agree to amputation of 15 percent of its territory, these resolutions effectively demand that such a separation be imposed on Serbia in violation of the U.N. Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999, and Serbia's own constitution, which, adopted with overwhelming public approval, defines Kosovo and Metohija as an integral part of Serbia. The SND urgently calls on you: Please contact your Senators and Congressman today to request – respectfully but firmly – that they oppose these misguided and counterproductive resolutions. Please note the suggested messages. 1. In opposition to S. Res. 135 (in the U.S. Senate): Dear Senator [Name]: As your constituent, I am writing to urge your opposition to Senate Resolution 135 relating to the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija. If the State Department policy endorsed in S. Res. 135 were implemented, it would mean the final eradication of the Christian Serbian presence in Kosovo, which is the cradle of Serbia's national and spiritual life. It would also be a vain and misguided effort to appease the violent demands by radical elements of Kosovo's Muslim Albanian community, which would lead in turn to more violent demands in nearby areas. At a time when America is leading the global effort against jihad terrorism, this is a mistake we cannot afford to make! An independent Kosovo, forcibly and illegally detached from democratic Serbia, would be certain to become a rogue state dominated by radical Islam and organized crime. Since 1999, two-thirds of Kosovo's Christian Serbs have been terrorized from the province, along with comparable percentages of Roma (Gypsies), Gorani, and other groups, as well as the entire Jewish community. Attacks against the dwindling number of non-Albanian targets continue. Some 150 churches and monasteries have been destroyed or desecrated and replaced with hundreds of new mosques. Organized crime rackets, connected to the Albanian mafia's operations throughout Europe, and implicating the highest levels of the UN-supervised Albanian administration, traffic in drugs, weapons, and slaves – women and even children. Finally, the policy endorsed in S. Res. 135 violates the UN Charter and other fundamentals of international law by seeking to detach part of a country's territory without its consent. Instead of an illegal attempt to appease violence and threat of violence from the Muslim Albanian community, America should be supporting a balanced, negotiated, and legal solution that protects the legitimate interests of all of Kosovo's inhabitants, regardless of religion or ethnicity. Please oppose S. Res. 135. I thank you for your urgent consideration of this matter. Respectfully, [Your name] [Your address and phone number] =============================== 2. In opposition to H. Res. 36 (in the U.S. House of Representatives): Dear Congressman (or Congresswoman) [Name]: As your constituent, I am writing to urge your opposition to House Resolution 36 relating to the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija. If the State Department policy endorsed in H. Res. 36 were implemented, it would mean the final eradication of the Christian Serbian presence in Kosovo, which is the cradle of Serbia's national and spiritual life. It would also be a vain and misguided effort to appease the violent demands by radical elements of Kosovo's Muslim Albanians community, which would lead in turn to more violent demands in nearby areas.
