Summary/Abstract: Facing the dramatic issue of Kosovo and Metohija, it is easier to say what should not be done at any cost than what we should do. Two opposite solutions have to be avoided by all means: on the one hand, Kosmet must not be recognized as a sovereign state; on the other hand, we must avoid any new conflict with NATO. Provided politics is the art of finding good solutions within the actuality of the relations with the centres of economic, political and military power, we realistically expect and demand from the political representatives we have voted in by the majority-made decision of voters – to be adroit enough in finding optimum solutions to problem-ridden situations like those we are involved in. Considering the multitude of sources of information available to the Serbian state – ranging from direct talks to the world’s leading statesmen, via the diplomatic service and intelligence agencies, to the broadest selection of advisers/specialists in many particular fields – we can hope that all the necessary conditions will be ensured for the system to function to the benefit of the p.eople who make its raison d’être. In that sense, such expectations and demands are not deprived of a realistic foundation
