http://www.newkosovo.org/

It is the conviction of the Alliance that independence is not only
what the overwhelming majority of the people of Kosovo themselves want; but it is also the single route that can lead to an open, democratic society - one that can bring greater stability and economic revival to the entire region and ensure the rights of minorities. The future of an independent Kosovo may not be easy, but only through independence can a more hopeful future begin.

The activities of the Alliance are informed and supported by its
Board of Advisors, individuals from the U.S.A. and international diplomatic corps, military, academia, and non-governmental communities.
