Independent Kosovo is a recipe for more conflict in the Balkans

I FOUND your headline ‘Serbia plots against Kosovo independence’ (December 27) somewhat odd when Serbia has been reacting since 1989 to the machinations of certain “plotting” western leaders bent on its destruction.

There is much reason for all nations to be concerned about the recent push by some western nations to grant Kosovo illegal independence.

Serbia has every right to defend its national interests, including its citizens and its borders.
