Dragan RAKIC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mr. Dragan RAKIC Strasbourg France Sir, Before the presidential elections in Serbia last February, the European Union, you as a president for European enlargement, and Mr. Javier Solana as a Secretary General for European foreign affairs, declared that if Mr. Boris Tadic won those elections, the way to Europe would be faster and at least accelerated. What happened ever since was quite contrary. European Union was among the first ones to recognize the unilaterally declared independence of the Serbian province of Kosovo. Letting that unlawful problem apart, the European Union did nothing to accelerate what was to be done before Serbian elections. In the Western media we can read, for example, that an “US Senior official declared that the way to Europe for Serbia is opened”. Are you waiting for a green light coming from States to accomplish what was to be accomplished? Are you waiting for Serbia to beg you for what was convened to be done ? By not accepting Serbia to EU, the last one will not be obliged to admit that it took illegally the 15% of the Serbian territory, and this might be the only reason the European Union do nothing. You forget that more than 75% of the Serbian population in spite of all wishes to become what they are already by their geographical position, the Europeans. By acting in the most irresponsible way, EU will create the instability in the region, and will be directly responsible for all the consequences. If the independence of Kosovo was “the only possible way” to solve the problem, the quick admittance of Serbia to EU will be the only possible way to prevent the genocide and the ethnic cleansing against Serbs and their historical and cultural heritage. Sincerely Dragan RAKIC
