According to Kosovo Travelogue this is certainly not one of the things that Hillary Clinton is hoping to reverse. Under Bill Clinton the US bombed Belgrade and under Bush the US bombed Baghdad, and there is really little difference. Is that one of the things Barack Obama wants to change? I hope so.
Links to a news report with my own comments on the Kosovo UDI are in my Khanya blog.

One thing that needs to be borne in mind is that though the majority of the population of Kosovo speak Albanian, they lack the religious tolerance of Albania.
The Albanian government deported Iranian Islamist teachers who incited young people attending a Muslim youth camp at Voskopoje to destroy Christian ikons that had survived the Turks and the Communists. In Kosovo dozens of Christian churches have been destroyed under the noses of Nato troops.

I think Slavophobia and Russophobia is the new racism in the West .
Those big,bad Russians . We are back to 1856 and the Crimean War it
seems if you read some of the comments .
Prejudices are hard to overcome when they are reinforced continuously
by the media and the political elite.
Us Orthodox have more to thank Russia for than the Americans who are
at best indifferent and at worse aid our enemies.

Unfortunately, this is NOT one of the things Obama wants to change. He's been critical of the handling of the Iraq War, true. But, earlier this year when Pakistan was experiencing such upheaval, he was one of the ones expressing a desire to bomb Pakistan into submission. Quite frankly, the only U.S. Presidential hopeful I'd trust with foreign policy is Ron Paul.
