(Note: On one of his first trips to Kosovo, Congressman Engel stood on the square of Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, and told ethnic Albanians that he wanted to return as its first U.S. Ambassador to an independent Kosova, (as opposed to the official Serbian name, Kosovo) in essence, fomenting anarchy and encouraging revolution against the legitimate government in Belgrade."

Wanna bet that it won't be Engel?

Prime Minister Gordon Brown's government yesterday announced the selection of a career diplomat, David Blunt, who served as London's representative in the Kosovo capital of Pristina for the past two years. Mr. Blunt has worked at the Foreign Office since 1978. London also elevated its Pristina office to the status of an embassy. A White House spokeswoman yesterday said President Bush has not decided on an ambassador, although Mr. Bush was among the first foreign leaders to recognize Kosovo after it declared independence on Sunday. Meanwhile, the State Department said it has no plans to recall Ambassador Cameron Munter from Serbia to respond to Serbia's decision to summon its ambassador from Washington. Mr. Munter is "on the job, doing a fine job," spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters at a State Department press briefing this week. **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** ************** Serbian Ambassador Ivan Vujacic returned to Belgrade on Tuesday to underscore Serbia's anger over Mr. Bush's decision to recognize Kosovo's independence. Washington's representative in Pristina is Tina Kaidanow, who has directed the U.S. office there since July 2006.
