Happy Independence Day, Kosovo

The President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, has declared independence from Serbia via the will of his people on Saturday. The vote from the Kosovar deputies was 109 of 109. 11 representatives of ethnic minorities and Serbs from the area were not present.

Thaci said that there will be no violence against the Serbs in the area and that they will continue to work with Serbia.

Serbia and Russia both object to this declaration of independence. Serbia has declared that this declaration will not lead to violence. The UN is supposed to recognize this declaration of independence on Monday.

May the indgenous nations of the U.S. take example from you, Kosovo, and start declaring their independence and exercising their OWN will in self-governance soon.

In 1999, the Blackfoot Traditional Government declared its independence. It has been a long struggle to bring about recognition of that declaration. But we're still working on it.
