The author gave the impression that the proposal was not engaged with the Serb national ideology. He recognised that Serb myths might be false in principle, but he nevertheless used them as others had before him. He insists that it is more important for the Serbs than the Albanians to do this because Serbs pose a greater threat to stability in the region. Malcolm's suggestion is not unlike the comment above about inducing historical Alzheimers in the Balkans. Majstorovic suggests that the least worst approach to resolve the Kosova impasse is to give both parties most of what they really want and for the international community to realise that not all states are completely sovereign.
Many states are soft states and are amenable to some social engineering.
What the Albanians in Kosova want is independence, connection to Albania and control of territory. And according to Ibrahim Rugova, the Kosova Albanians do not want partition. What the Serbs want is respect for, and access to, their holy places. And most of all, the Serbs do not want to give up the symbols of the unifying myth that shapes the core of what comprises Serb national identity. Many Serbs may never visit Kosovo Polje, but they need to believe that they can if they want to.
