By Aleksandar Mitic
An old saying in Montenegro (http://www.nationalvanguard.org/story.php?id=9127) used to be, “Montenegro and Serbia – one family". Today, pro-independence graffiti in Montenegro reads “Montenegro and the Basque Country – one family”.
Indeed, if the preliminary results of the Montenegrin referendum (http://www.nationalvanguard.org/story.php?id=9255) on independence are confirmed, the process of the balkanization of the Balkans will have scored one more point.
Some say it also paved a chance for many independence hopefuls around Europe, be it in Catalonia, the Basque Country or Scotland, which have sent observer missions to Podgorica to monitor the mechanics of intra-state divorce.
It might be contrary to the logic of European integration and the equation mark between the European Union and “borderless Europe”, but it is real and it is happening in 2006, just a few weeks before the June summit on “the future of Europe (http://www.nationalvanguard.org/story.php?id=9065)”.
As far as enlargement is concerned, EU leaders should answer the question: “Does a European future imply further balkanization of the Balkans?” or “Do the Balkans have to choose a nationalistic past in order to pave their way to their European future?”
If the answer is yes, EU finance ministers should start planning a budget for more crisis management.
If not, the “balkanization of the Balkans” must end. Now!
It must end now, because Montenegrin independence at least had a legal basis. Under the findings of the 1991-92 Badinter Commission on the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, all six Yugoslav republics – and only republics not provinces -- had the legal right to become independent.
After Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia, Montenegro is the last former Yugoslav republic to seize the opportunity.
It means that Kosovo, a province of Serbia, does not have the right to secession. Indeed, an independence of Kosovo – against the will of Serbia – can only be illegal, one-sided and imposed.
As such, an independent Kosovo would be the real, universal opener of the Pandora's box of separatism.

From all this fracas:
will emerge the unstoppable Imperium:
Imperium Europa!
Only this Unifying IDEA!
can hold the various Regions together:
as cousin peoples, Europids.
No more wars of Whites killing Whites.
No more warring Nation-States.
An Imperium of Regions and Peoples.
