The Kosovo government would have been able to negate laws passed by the federal legislature and to conduct its own foreign policy - both rights that neither the US states nor the states of Germany possess. Look at some excerpts of the accord proposal: Chapter 4a, Article I -- "The economy of Kosovo, shall function in accordance with free market principles." It is crystal clear whose interests are being advanced here: Kosovo has substantial mineral resources, including the richest mines for lead, molybdenum, mercury and other metals in all of Europe. Obviously one cannot leave the control over such resources to an independent Yugoslavia. Chapter 5, Article V -- "The CIM [*] shall be the final authority in theater regarding interpretation of the civilian aspects of this Agreement, and the Parties agree to abide by his determinations as binding on all Parties and persons." *Chief of the Implementation Mission Chapter 7, Article XV -- "The KFOR [NATO] commander is the final authority in theater regarding interpretation of this Chapter and his determinations are binding on all Parties and persons." In other words, two foreign commanders would have had the power to overturn elections, shut down organizations and media, and overrule any decisions made by a provincial or the federal governments regarding Kosovo. These are terms of occupation, not those of an agreement acceptable to a soveriegnstate. ========================================== Just for fun..
