Serbia threatens Kosovo with full scale war

The Serbian government threatens the Albanian in Kosovo with full scale war if they declare Kosovo independent. Jaap De Hoop-Scheffer, the secretary-general of NATO, warns Serbia not to use violence. 'We will act strongly against any faction that thinks to solve the conflict with violence,' says De Hoop-Scheffer.

After four months of negotiating between Serbia, Kosovo Albanians, EU, US and Russia it will be not likely that an agreement accepted by each party will be achieved.
Albanian nationalists got absolute majority after a massive victory during the recent elections. They made it very clear that they will declare the independence of Kosovo unilateraly. Serbia does not want to go further than far reaching autonomy for the province where Serbia's religious roots can be found and thinks it is justified if force is used. 'If someone does not respect the decision of the UN security council, a country is justified to start a war,' motivates Serbian Prime Minister Kostunica.
De Hoop Scheffer urges all parties not to seek their refuge in violence and warns Serbia not to defy NATO.
