In fact quite the contrary, all the leaders have said to me at one time or another that they want the Serb minority to be a part of Kosova's life, they recognize that a lot of the Serb community that has left here had a lot of necessary skills that are vital to rebuilding Kosovo's society and economy. There are clearly others out there who don't feel the same way. Fortunately for Kosovo, fortunately for the engagement of the international community, I think the election results in October showed exactly where those more extreme views stand in the eyes of the Kosovar public. I think that the views expressed by the mainstream politicians also reflect the mainstream views of most Kosovars, and we have to bear in mind that the more radical, more hostile, more conflictual views are really a very small minority of people here. At least that's my hope.
Organized crime is clearly a serious problem here and is getting more serious.
It is also one of the more difficult ones for the international community, or anyone to deal with it, because it is organized, disciplined, it's got a structure to it, fights back and also protects itself and relies upon secrecy. Organized crime thrives in a society, which doesn't take upon itself the responsibility for dealing with organized crime and for rejecting it. As outsiders the international community can never get inside of Kosovar society, and understand its inner workings, know all the relationships, and who is who, who's doing what, in the way that Kosovars do. What message would you convey to the people of Kosova regarding the upcoming religious holidays. I hope that as the Kosovar Muslims celebrate Bajram and the Christian community here celebrates Christmas, as everybody marks the New Year, everyone will think about questions like tolerance toward your neighbors and your minorities, and think about how to take the basic values of your religious beliefs, make it a part of your daily life here, and how that reflects to the society here for the future.
