Dear Friend, Klikoni ketu per Shqip
On July 14, 2004, Senator George Voinovich, a member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, presided at a full Committee hearing on “U.S. Policy toward Southeast Europe: Unfinished Business in the Balkans.” Voinovich, a Serbian American senator from Ohio, is the author of Senate Resolution 326, “condemning ethnic violence in Kosovo,” which he introduced on March 31 in response to the riots that took place in Kosova from March 17 to 19. Senator Joe Biden, the Committee’s Ranking Democrat and a cosponsor of the resolution, participated at the hearing. The first panel of witnesses included Kathy Stephens, Deputy Assistant Secretary for South Central Europe at the Department of State, and Mira Ricardel, Acting Assistant Secretary for International Security Policy at the Department of Defense. The second panel included Ambassador James Dobbins, D! irector of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the RAND Corporation, James O’Brien, a Principal at The Albright Group, Ivan Vejvoda, Executive Director of the Balkan Trust for Democracy at the German Marshall Fund from Serbia and Montenegro, and Veton Surroi, Publisher of Koha Ditore in Prishtina.
In my capacity as Balkan Affairs Adviser to the Albanian American Civic League, I submitted written testimony in support of the independence of Kosova now, which was included in the proceedings of the hearing. Among those who offered oral testimony, only James Dobbins called on the United States and the European Union to support independence for Kosova, with the stipulation that independence be established two years from now “providing a reasonable set of standards were met in the interim.” Without the testimony that I submitted, calling for independence as the only way to prevent renewed war in the Balkans and to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region, the hearing would have left the erroneous impression that no one supported independence for Kosova now.

Sincerely,
Shirley Cloyes DioGuardi
Balkan Affairs Adviser
