This past fall Shirley and legal scholar Roland Gjoni published an important article, entitled "It's Time to End the Appeasement of Serbia," explaining why the international community's insistence on new talks between Belgrade and Prishtina - without Serbia first recognizing Kosova's independence - will undermine Kosova's sovereignty and insure that lasting peace and stability in Southeast Europe remains elusive. The article appeared in more than eighteen publications, primarily in the Balkans, Western Europe, and England.
