WASHINGTON, April 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following the apparent failure of the Ahtisaari Plan, Profesor Stojanovic will offer a new approach to the solution of the Kosovo and Metohija (Kosmet) problem, based on the administrative-territorial precomposition of the Serbian autonomous province.
"Serbia is gaining again in importance, which is disproportionate to its intrinsic strength. Moreover, for the first time the Serbian question (as well as Albanian ambitions in connection with it) is to a certain extent becoming a world issue. US policy towards Kosmet is in crisis, in my opinion and, consequently, needs to be fundamentally reconsidered. For that reason, I propose that a study group for Kosmet be appointed by President Bush along the lines of the United States' Iraq Study Group," said Stojanovic.
The Serbian-American Center is a private foundation founded in 2002 and based in Belgrade, Serbia. The goals of the foundation are to promote relations between the two countries in all fields of endeavor.
Professor Stojanovic publications include 7 books, 4 brochures and about 130 journal articles translated into 14 languages. Books in English include: "Between Ideals and Reality," Oxford University Press, 1973; "In Search of Democracy in Socialism," Prometheus Books, Buffalo, NY, 1981; "From Marxism and Bolshevism to Gorbachev," Prometheus Books, 1988; "The Fall of Yugoslavia: Why Communism Failed," Prometheus Books, 1997; and "Serbia: The Democratic Revolution," Humanity Books, Amherst, NY, 2003.
