Action Alert

9/24/99


Senior US officials have shown of signs of possible change in their stance
opposing independence for Kosova, reported the Washington Post and CNN today.

According to the articles, although nobody is saying this out loud, there is a
definite attitude shift towards favoring Kosova's independence marked by such
actions as giving Kosova a different telephone code, a different currency and
supporting a proposal that the KLA form a Kosova "protection" corps. These
unnamed officials reportedly say that Kosova's indepedence is, more than likely,
just a matter of time.

Now is the time to act to help the Kosovar's achieve their dream of
independence.

Action Requested

€ Contact your policymakers and support independence for Kosova.

It is necessary to support positive moves and attitudes because those opposed to
Kosova's independence, most notably the Serbians and the Serb lobby, will be
calling to voice their opposition to the independence of Kosova

Talking Points

€ The independence of Kosova is what the Kosovars have been demanding all along.
€ Kosova's independence is the only viable long term solution to the current
situation in the Balkans.
