KOSOVO AND THE CAUCASUS: A DOMINO EFFECT

Vladislav B. Sotirović

Sažetak

The goal of this research is to investigate and compare the inter­ethnic and interstate clashes and wars in the Balkan micro region of Kosovo-Metohija with tho­se from the macro region of the Caucasus. After February 2008 when Kosovo Albanian-domina­ted Parliament proclaimed Koso­vo independence (without orga­nizing a referenda) with obvious US diplomatic support (unilateral recognition) with explanation that the Kosovo case is unique in the World (i.e., it will be not repeated again) one can ask the question: is the problem of the southern Ser­bian province of Kosovo-Metochia really unique and surely unre­peatable in some other parts of the World as the US administration was trying to convince the rest of the international community?
