Important Notice Concerning Fraudulent “American Council for Kosova“ Website:
It has come to our attention at the American Council for Kosovo that there still may be some confusion about an unauthorized mirror site, created by persons styling themselves the "American Council for Kosova." This deceptive site closely patterns the appearance of the genuine American Council for Kosovo site (www.savekosovo.org) but with a pro-Albanian separatist, anti-Serbian, pro-Kosovo independence message. Indeed, suggestions even have been made that we at the American Council for Kosovo are also behind the mirror site in order to "work both sides of the street," on the pro-Albanian side as well as the pro-Serbian side.
Nothing could be further from the truth! The pro-Albanian "Kosova" site appeared within days of our creation of the genuine American Council for Kosovo site. Its purpose was clearly to detract from the effort we had launched on behalf of the Christian Serbian community in Kosovo and Metohija under the guidance of Vladyka Artemije. It is characteristic of the pro-separation advocates that they are afraid to engage on the facts and international standards concerning Kosovo -- both of which favor the Serbian position -- and need to stoop to cheap tricks and deception in a feeble attempt to undermine our increasingly successful message. In that sense, we take their efforts -- which, given the activity of the fraudulent site, clearly are quite well-funded -- as a compliment to our work and evidence of increasing fear on the Muslim Albanian side that the the pro-separatist agenda is in deep trouble.
We at the American Council for Kosovo have been asked (1) why we did not preempt the available internet addresses for the fraudulent site, and (2) why we don't take legal action to shut them down. The short answer is that doing so would take away time and resources from our own activities, which given the formidable opposition we still face, we cannot afford to spare. Conversely, we are confident that intelligent readers, if they do chance across the fraudulent mirror site will soon see it for what it is: just more of the dishonest and misleading "Kosova" propaganda to which the world has been subject for the past decade and more. We ask the critical reader to make the appropriate comparisons and dismiss the fraulent mirror site to the oblivion it so richly deserves.

Kosovo: Questions and Answers

Where and what is Kosovo?

Who lives in Kosovo?

Who governs Kosovo now?

Is there local participation in governing Kosovo?

What is the Kosovo Liberation Army?

What would be the impact of making Kosovo an independent country?

What are the alternatives to Kosovo independence?

What is the Kosovo Liberation Army?

The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is a terrorist organization with close links to Albanian mafia organized crime, which operates drug and human trafficking rackets across Europe. The KLA also has well-documented links to al-Qaeda (including to Osama bin Laden personally) and to other Islamic terrorist supporters, such as Iran.

Supposedly disbanded after the 1999 war, KLA personnel were recruited wholesale into Kosovo’s administrative structures, including the police and a quasi-militia organization, the so-called “Kosovo Protection Corps” (KPC, or Trupat e Mbrojtjes se Kosoves (TMK) in Albanian). This has allowed the KLA to continue, with minimal interference, their criminal activities and to launch terrorist campaigns into nearby areas of southern Serbia and Macedonia. The leading figures in the KLA are Agim Ceku, Ramush Haradinaj, and Hashim Thaci.
