Human rights include language rights. Albanian will become an official language on a par with Serbian within Kosovo. NATO will be watching. So will the international press, and particularly the Russian press, since the Russians feel a strong link with Serbs, their fellow Slavs, within the Orthodox Church. And international bodies like the Helsinki Commission on Human Rights will be reporting on how it all shakes out.
Language is politics.
And language is power. In Australia we tend to ignore this aspect of language, because English is the world language, and it takes you pretty well anywhere, for travel, for jobs, for business, for social advancement, for prestige. As English speakers we aren't challenged, and we aren't threatened. You have to be in a minority situation to appreciate what it means to have a language of your own, and what it means when someone threatens to take away your right to use it when and where you please. So Kosovo is not just about a land grab or about expelling the non- Serbs, or about ethnic cleansing, or about Serbian nationalism.
