The situation in Kosovo had reached &#8220;such a state  that a final line must now be drawn&#8221;, he said. Otherwise things might end in an  &#8220;explosion&#8221; that &#8220;would benefit no one&#8221;.<br \/>\n&#8220;It would be justice to grant  Kosovo its independence&#8221;, said the archbishop. He called upon Europe to consider  the fact that during the past two decades the situation in the Balkans<!--more--> had been  clarified but that Kosovo had remained an exception. &#8220;Europe must actually have  an interest in bringing about a more stable situation and a more balanced  coexistence within the Balkans&#8221;, he explained to ACN. Moreover, a people of 2  million, who had come through such dramatic and traumatic experiences as  deportations and murders, had &#8220;a right to a brighter future&#8221;, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Archbishop Gashi, who was born in Kosovo and worked there for a long  time as a parish priest, explained that in terms of its demographic structure,  Kosovo is one of the most youthful of nations, given that 60% of the population  is under 35 years of age. Yet these young people could see no future for  themselves, he said. In public life there was a general blockade, and scarcely  any investment, since there was no security. This was leading many young people  to emigrate abroad and causing those who remained behind to &#8220;suffocate while  waiting for a better future&#8221;, he added. He did not however see problems with a  fundamentalist Islam. He knew politicians and intellectuals and had the  impression that Kosovo had for the past 20 to 30 years been strongly inclined  towards the West.<\/p>\n<p>Kosovo remains nominally under Serbian rule. However,  it has been administered by the United Nations since 1999. Catholics represent  only a tiny minority of around 60,000 people among a predominantly Muslim  population of almost 1.9 million. Ethnic Albanians make up over 90% of the  population, while the remainder of the population are mostly Serbs. Presidential  elections took place last Sunday in Serbia and are widely seen as an indicator  of the future course of the country in regard to the Kosovo issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kirche-in-not.org\/acn-news\/acn_fotos_2008\/acn2201_montenegro.jpg\" height=\"140\" width=\"140\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[5],"tags":[1241,786,785,748,787,791,789,788,792,790],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
