[OSM-talk] Komuna e Malishevës, Serbia ?

[RB]

Please : I am not making anymore "bloody politics" than people claiming
that the situation is damn simple. I am a swiss citizen (not a Serb) and I
really like all the people in Kosovo (KOA as well as KOS and the other
ethnicities). It has nothing to do with taking side or whatever, but I am
just saying that is is a complicated situation and that our map should try
to reflect it.
