Today, Pristina is hosting a protest rally, organised by a network of over 30 NGOs, to express Kosovo’s firm opposition to the UN’s preview of the realignment of Unmik. "A plan explains Ungaro that would also involve keeping the Kosovar police supervising the areas of Kosovo where Serbians live, Unmik’s control over the Court of Mitrovica as well as over the Serbian cultural heritage in the area". Basically, "this means officially recognising what is already happening in Kosovo, with Serbia still controlling the north of the country and some areas south of the river Ibar". Belgrade, says the expert, "says it would like to accept Eurlex, provided it is formally approved by the UN Security Council, remains neutral in the discussion on the future status of the area, and makes no reference to the Ahtisaan plan, the document that opened the doors to Pristina’s independence". Instead, Kosovo "feels deserted and, by rallying, tries to draw the allies’ attention (first and foremost the United states) on the commitments they had undertaken at the time of an independence that had been granted by the West with such a haste the results of which are under everyone’s eyes". In this scenario, concludes Ungaro, "there’s the risk this will benefit the most extremist and nationalistic wings of both sides".
