we gave them civil and military power but we have our administration for communities in northern kosovo and the e.u. has asked us to abolish these serbian institutions we responded that we cannot do that because we have a university that hospitals schools and colleges i just follow the constitution and in serbia the president is it's guarantor of our constitution says that kosovo and metohija are parts of serbia that hooty that we both work. together do you believe that it is possible to divide cassaday in this case what would happen to the serbs living on the territory acquired by the albanians not as good at this moment and from the point of view of the constitution it's not possible and one of the citizens of serbia say yes in a referendum i don't know but the serbians who live outside these four communities in the north depend on pristina k. four will make a new legacy the international society especially the united nations should guarantee its absolute security and serbia should guarantee a good life and that's something that serbia avoided a bit and i will do my best so that the s

north and afghanistan, until recently, although that's gone down, has contributed significantly in kosovo, as has finland in many different ways. they could be allies tomorrow. by the way, i remind them of that, too. it is -- there is something -- the membership does have its privileges. for one you get to sit at the table to make decisions, and if you don't, if you're not a member you get to sit at the table but you don't get to make decisions. but it's a national decision. sweden will have to decide, finland will have to decide, like every country, whether or not they want to become members of nato. the good news is you don't have to be a member of nato to be an extraordinary partner. on baltic air policing, they have air covers in the baltics but they're not part of the nato mission of baltic air policing as of yet so, that's why i was shaking my head. op macedonia, the issue is very simple. in bucharest, it was decided by all 28, at that time 26 members of nato, that macedonia would be invited as soon as the main issue was resolved to mutual decision and satisfaction. this is a consen

kosovo, afghanistan, and a counterterrorism operation in the mediterranean. not only do we have these operations as nato, but each of those operations has partner countries that are contributing directly to these operations. some come as far away as australia and new zealand. you have a country like morocco that has 220 troop inkosov -- troops in kosovo because it looks at nato as a source, a hub, of an international global security network that you want to be associated with to deal with the challenges you cannot do by yourself. increasingly, we see in they told that it is not just pardners like sweden and finland, but partners in the -- partners like sweden and finland. they have forces in afghanistan to be part of an international operation. that is part of what the nato mission has to be. been there as a source of stability in this -- being there in this -- being mayor as a source of stability in this unpredictable -- being there as a source of stability in this unpredictable world. >> yes, sir? >> the u.s. administration announced the establishment of th

syrian rebels have reportedly begun to undergo guerrilla warfare training in kosovo or allegedly to be using the same training camps built for the anti serb kosovo liberation army group previously designated as a terrorist organization by the united states and even the un sure of that if they go off of it a foreign affairs editor for the us based chronicles magazine sees little good can come from this. well first of all i don't think they can learn much from the care only about through. the christians because the clearly was singularly unsuccessful in its rebellion against the serbian security force is until them into a bombing and even then they were not engaging in combat they were not going to get as many orders and quickly cleansing normal beenie so the first point is that there is nothing to learn in terms of conduct of visions and in terms of actually organizing a successful guerilla war i understand there are moderate. syrian opposition leaders who came to the united actually spoke to an a.p. reporter we are here to alert now this should be a huge wake up call for those syrians

imposes this process should stop only if they ask us to renounce part of our territory i'm referring to kosovo and the talk here until now i've been open and sincere with the citizens of serbia and i'm going to continue cooperating with the people at the moment they impose such conditions i told people immediately i think that's why i won't lose my popularity you know in our country the dismissal of a president is almost impossible nevertheless my term will last five years only if the citizens allow it if they no longer want to see me in this position i will walk

the syrian opposition is reportedly sending its militants to kosovo to be trained to the assad regime to be going to the same guerrilla comes built for the on to kosovo liberation army group that was seen as terrorised by the u.s. the u.k. and france and. the foreign affairs editor for the u.s. based chronicles magazine believes little good can come from this. the charolais was singularly unsuccessful in its rebellion against the serbian security forces until a major bombing and even then they were not engaging they were not contiguous memory orders and complete cleansing normal being the us now this should be a huge wake up call for those syrians who are not supporting the opposition especially the minorities if the syrian rebels. are on the trail that means there will be a bloodbath part of the of the fall of assad and there will be no room for anyone but the majority group which subscribes to its extremist credo whether it is there to agree to roll brainier in kosovo or. muslim brotherhood offshoot syria and later this hour we'll speak with also on the war correspondent chris hedge

expansion possibilities stand for countries like bosnia and macedonia and serbia and georgia and kosovo. where does that stand? >> of the list, there are four countries that have declared they would like to become members of nato. bosnia, macedonia and georgia. all four will be in chicago because all four are contributors of the mission in afghanistan. we, from the united states perspective, and i think i can speak for the other 27 allies, remain committed to an open door under article 10 of the washington treaty, we can have membership of the european member states whose membership in nato can contribute to the treaty. these four countries declared they would like to be members of nato. we are working actively with them. we as nato and we as the united states, to foster these circumstances and ability for them to become members, sooner rather than later. the time is not yet for various reasons and each country is unique and each country will have to be dealt with separately. the time will not be yet in chicago for them to be invited. either because there remain differences with other m

that we cite in, in the foreign affairs article that, that really point, makes that clear is in the kosovo war, 90% of all precision-guided missiles dropped on serbia and associate voe we kosovo. 90% was european. 10% was american. that said there were critical capabilities, these gaps, that i mentioned before, that were exposed by the libyan war. most importantly. intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance, between 70%, 80% of the isr effect was provided by the united states. 75% of the aerial of the tankers, were flown by the united states. the capability to do strategic targeting, precision guide targeting to take the information you get and turn that into. >> into precise targets necessary to have a low casualty. low collateral damage, strategic bombing campaign that we saw in libya was provided by the united states. so it exposed those weaknesses. the good news is -- that as a result of libya, the europeans are now trying to focus on how to close down these gaps. so, in chicago, we will, we will sign. a -- a -- an agreement. and five most advanced kind of drones that will, provide the

that's thought to be going to the same guerrilla council built for the kosovo liberation army a group that for good is seen as terrorised by the do as the u.k. and france and. the foreign affairs that's for the u.s. base chronicles magazine believes little good can come from this the charolais was singularly unsuccessful emits rebellion against the serbian security forces until a major bombing and even then they were not in gauging how much they're reacting because my orders quickly cleansing not brainy so now this should be a huge wake up call those syrians who are not supporting. your position especially the minorities even the syrian rebels. are on the caylee that means there will be a bloodbath of the fall of assad and there will be no room for anyone not the majority group which subscribes to its extremist credo whether it is there to greater albania in kosovo or. muslim brotherhood offshoot in syria. next hour we'll speak with also cover spondon chris hedges who things there's no point in pushing for the ouster of syria's president when there's no organized opposition the countr

very briefly if you can see rebels are reportedly undergoing guerrilla warfare training in kosovo and they are alleged to be using the same training camps built for the un to said cossar the liberation army and through previously designated as a terrorist organization by the united states and the u.n. more can the rebels learn that. well nothing in terms of military tactics because during the kosovo war the serbian security forces were more than a match for the charolais terrorists the charolais terrorists simply came into their own as marauders under the cover of nato occupiers you know other words what the syrian rebels can learn is how to ethnically cleanse murder and terrorize minorities in order to establish their total and totally tyrian control if that's what they want then there you indeed have superb teachers in the kalian prishtina said. from there thank you very much indeed for sharing your views my pleasure thank you. and they strive in syria drags on the rebels are getting strong support from lebanon everything from medical treatment to weapons and he's worth a national r

putting pressure on the to recognize kosovo's independence he said he certainly wouldn't want to do that i mean would you actually go against the you that in that respect. well the e.u. doesn't entirely speak with one voice on that as we know there are some e.u. countries which will stick to a principled position and respect international law and the sovereignty of serbia over its course of territory but it would certainly be one step too far particularly to do that because he does have a nationalist constituency a patriotic constituency. to take care of as well and he's associated with them and they will he will not want under any circumstances to recognize as the session is because of formally the danger is of course that he does what party did we recognize the kind of secession this. kosovo albanians informally by giving them every attribute of a sovereign state you possibly can without actually formally recognize it as that would be the way that the e.u. would try to handle it in the majority of its members and i hope. it would manage to stay principled enough and strong enough to av

now we have four -- afghanistan, the fwufl of ayden, kosovo and still a counterterrorism operation in the mediterranean. not only do we have the operations as nato, each and every one of those operations has partner countries that are contributing directly to these operations. some come as far away as australia and new zealand who are actively acting in the mediterranean and in piracy mission in the gulf of aden and the arabian sea. you have a country like morocco. just think about it. a country like morocco has 220 troops in kosovo and participated in operation unify pr protector because it now looks at nato as a source, what you may call a hub, of an international global security network that you want to be associated with in order to deal with the challenges that you can do by yourself. and increasingly we see in nato where it's not just partners like sweden and finland who have long seen this as their national place but partners in the middle east. remember, operation unify protector, four north african and middle eastern countries participated and afghanistan. 22 kcountries from

damascus one of the strands of this story the syrian opposition reportedly sending militants to kosovo for training the thought to be heading to guerrilla camps formerly used by the kosovo liberation army which was for years seen as a terrorist force by america britain and france so the trip coverage from u.s. space chronicles magazine told me a little good can come from this the colonel a was singularly unsuccessful in its rebellion against the serbian security forces until a major bombing and even then they were not engaging in town but they were going to use marauders and quickly cleansing normal brain needs now this should be a huge wakeup call for those syrians who are not supporting. your position especially in the minority it's the syrian rebels. that means there will be a bloodbath of the fall of assad and there will be no room for anyone but the majority group which subscribes to its extremist credo whether it is there to greater role brainier in kosovo or. muslim brotherhood offshoot of syria. but later this hour we speak with all three war correspondent chris hedges these th

i supported the things we did in bosnia and kosovo. i find it unimaginable we are going to send boots on the ground. >> we can't. >> is there something in between that works? >> i don't know. perhaps there's a kill list. >> to make it all the more complicated, you can't do it alone. russia is not ever going to sign off on this. >> right. >> china is with russia on this. when we try to get -- there was a full international con census behind libya. there's nothing like that with the foes and friends in the world. china and russia do not want that. >> by the way, is the reason, willie, why bosnia and kosovo were nato operations, not u.n. operations. russia was allies with them. >> russia and china are the reason we have what we have now, the watered down cease-fire which no one observes, servely not the government. it's not just shelling of the villages. it's the door-to-door massacre of children, women and children. you don't have to go too far on youtube to see images. the question is, bill clinton talked about rwanda was the greatest r

we helped in coze kosovo and iraq and afghanistan. you know, america -- blood, sweat, tear, the financial burden. we offer financial assistance to egypt for all of their years that they were at peace with israel. we have facilitated peace. we don't get credit. you say osama bin laden was made in the usa -- that angers me. >> i'm sorry it angered you. i am sorry i said it. i said i'm sorry. but we have to solve the problem of extremism. there are good, important stories to say how americans and muslims have cooperated successfully. let me tell you a story, sean, at the height of the crisis 2 years ago, when the florida -- a very volatile situation, who came up and stepped in? my friend jim wallace, an evangelical christian, a close friend said to me, we will intervene because we are evangelical. he's part of our community. he will interject and help -- >> sean: that's a good story. >> what came out of it? muslims and indians, kashmirs heard about it. they went and volunteered to create a neighborhood church. so my point is that the ext

was one of the main reasons why president clinton was able to lead a military intervention in kosovo the same is true here in syria the situation at the united states doesn't seem to be able to control and so it looks like the houla massacre may be the pretext that they would like to use in order to launch a military intervention in order to instigate regime change which has been the goal all along but we've seen the precedent set recently in libya if you want to call it a success i think you'd probably be not talking to the fifty to one hundred thousand libyans who would have something to say about whether or not that was a success the situation in syria is markedly different because i think that the united states and their western allies thought that the assad regime would have been toppled by now and because the assad regime has been holding on for so long it seems that the united states and saudi arabia qatar and the rest of their allies are down to their final option which would be military intervention not an ideal situation for them but one that they're prepared to to go. and

was one of the main reasons why president clinton was able to lead a military intervention in kosovo the same is true here in syria the situation at the united states doesn't seem to be able to control and so it looks like the who what massacre may be the pretext that they would like to use in order to launch a military intervention in order to instigate regime change which has been the goal all along and you're drawing that parallel with what happened serbia where there wasn't a u.n. security resolution you saying that when it trashing could take place bypassing the un it's entirely possible we've seen the precedent set recently in libya and in particular going around using the united nations but using nato as the military arm to actually carry out interventions we could see something happening in syria using nato instead of the united nations some would say the nato intervention in libya was a success would you agree with that and if if if so if it was a success why isn't it being applied to syria. well i mean if you if you want to call it a success i think you'd probably be not ta

the presence in countries such as iraq such as afghanistan such as kosovo. so have some of. what we have in here is video games. and. some of. the. solicitor. moves to want to test first bennett first but soon you run trolls daily so you can save the environment one being on your first quite a long time and right at that age as it will give way pay for college get something i want to do for a long time and done students act in there never wanted this job so had to be infantry for me something i could be moving around constantly doing something active so how do you feel about being deployed to iraq or afghanistan. i'm nervous but i'm ready if i get called to go. think it be another saving experience to make . fun of. find out by the thought. well the u.s. japan security alliance is the cornerstone of america's defense posture in the asia pacific and the united states is both a transpacific and a transatlantic power but we couldn't project that power without the men and women who serve here in japan as we look at the region it is at peace but we have threats like what we hear

there was such a group in kosovo. we had a president. we had the kosovo liberation army.people. he was internationally recognized and even milosevic dealt with him, so it wasn't a political vacuum. the opposition in syria right now, there are a lot of brave people in there. we honor what they stand for. it's absolutely wrong what the assad regime is doing. it's murder. we know it, but we haven't been able to locate the political opposition, and we want to stabilize the situation. what we don't want is mayhem in a region in a region where hundreds of thousands of people die. syria is in a difficult position with pressures on all sides, so we've got to make the right steps not just an urgent step. >> general wesley clark, the former retired nato supreme allied commander. we'll continue this conversation. thank you. >> okay, wolf. >>> coming up, my one-on-one interview with donald trump who has very strong things to say about cnn's reporting, the issue about where the president of the united states was born. if you didn't see it, you're about to see it. we'll have the explos
