Separatist Movements Seek Inspiration in Kosovo

A whole bunch of comments on various places (here and here for example) were placed on my previous essay where I said that the current Kosovo declaration will cause problems. Here's a well argued article on this topic. The six cases they quote are:

Spain: The Basques and the Catalans

Cyprus: The Turkish Cypriots

Romania: The Magyars in Székely Land

Bulgaria: The Muslim Pomaks

Greece: The Turks of Western Thrace

Slovakia: The Hungarian Minority

I wonder if those who are getting all excited about Kosovo independence will also join in asking for independence for these and the other minorities such as here, here, here and here.

Cypriot leaders agree to direct talks under UN auspices later this month

This is extremely good news. The Greeks have finally given in to common sense and have decided to talk, i just hope the UN can manage to get these two obdurate groups to talk and resolve that bloody Cyprus Issue. Also see here.
