VOTE NO ON H RES 36, H RES 309 and S RES 135
VOTE YES ON H RES 445

We, the signatories of this petition urge members of Congress to vote no on House Resolutions 36, 309 and Senate Resolution 135. 

We urge members of Congress to Vote YES on H RES 445 which supports a principled solution to Kosovo-Metohija that respects the territorial integrity of Serbia. This Resolution has been introduced by Congressional Serbian Caucus members Representative Melissa Bean and Representative Dan Burton.

We do not support the United States position that Kosovo-Metohija, 15% of Serbia's territory should be taken away from her to appease Muslim insurgents who support Al-Qaeda and a thriving criminal element that imports illegal drugs and which also engages in human trafficking.

CONSEQUENCES

Such a position will most definitely contribute to instability in the area and in those regions in Europe and Asia that are watching the Kosovo debate very closely. To continue to flagrantly disregard International Law which provides for the respect of the sovereignty of nations and for the right of such nations to non-interference in internal affairs will usher in an era of unprecedented lawlessness between nations states. Therefore, we urge you to respect the constitution of Serbia which the people of Serbia recently approved and which reflects the will of those who voted for it: that Kosovo-Metohija is an integral part of Serbia.

HISTORY

We urge you to be mindful of the historical integrity of the Balkan region and the legacy of Josip Broz Tito. Tito encouraged, during and after WWII, state sanctioned oppression of the Serbian peoples. He sought to displace Serbians in 1944 and in 1974 in an effort to create an Greater Albania at the expense of the Serbian peoples.  He encourage illegal land grabs, disenfranchising the native Serbian peoples from their homes and their livelihood. It is telling that one of Tito's first acts after becoming the President of Yugoslavia was to execute the Allied Forces greatest supporter against the Nazi regime, Draza Mihailovich.  We urge you not to continue Josip Broz Tito's legacy of oppression against the Serbian people with House Resolutions 36, 309 and Senate Resolution 135.


COMMIT TO A PRINCIPLED SOLUTION Support HRES 445

House Resolution 445 will ensure that a principled solution will be reached concerning Kosovo-Metohija and that International Law will not be violated. A Principled Solution should be acceptable to both sides and does not accept the threat of violence against minorities in Kosovo, to reach its objective. 

DO NOT RECOGNISE KOSOVO INDEPENDENCE Keep Serbia United

We urge the United States Congress to respect the United States peoples commitment to promoting peace in the world. We urge you, therefore to respect the United Nations Security Council principled votes on Kosovo-Metohija. We expect the United States to behave honourably in behalf of its citizens in this regard and to respect the legacy of both Theodore Roosevelt the first American to win the Nobel Peace prize for his efforts in the Portsmouth Treaty, and Eleanor Roosevelt one of the drafters of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The rights of the 100,000 remaining Serbian population is at stake. As a member of the United Nations, you have pledged to be a supporter of the rights of all humans not only of some. Any acts outside of this will mark the United States  as a violator of human rights.

SUPPORT PRINCIPLED SOLUTION ONLY 

Therefore, we urge you to support a principled solution that is aligned with International Law and aligned with due respect of Nation Sovereignty.We the signatories therefore urge members of Congress to vote no on House Resolution 36.The Signatories:
