Obama’s support of Kosovo

This whole election process to me was more than just about the America's security, economy, reputation, etc...it was also about my old country, now Republic of Kosovo. Even though it was Bill Clinton who helped us fight against a fascist state (Serbia), on this issue, McCain wanted to basically destroy Serbia.
I was very skeptical of Obama's election, however, the more he was talking about Kosovo, the more I supported him because as it turns out, the American foreign policy in Kosovo will not "CHANGE".
One Obama aide said during the election campaign that Obama supported the independence of Kosovo and its "democratic process toward full sovereignty." This was enough for Kosovo's Albanians to celebrate the night Obama became US president-elect. They would not have been unhappy even if McCain had won the election. However, Kosovo's way toward independence from Serbia was paved by President Bill Clinton, a democrat who ordered a military intervention against Serbia during the regime of Slobodan Milosevic.
