Again Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger

A quote from some EU Kosovo background, linked here: Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger—a German diplomat— as EU representative in the European Union/ Russia/ United States team, the “Troika”, charged with facilitating a further period of engagement between Belgrade and Pristina on the future of Kosovo. The Troika process was concluded by the Contact Group reporting to the UN Secretary General, by 10 December 2007 stating that the negotiating process facilitated by the Troika between the parties on Kosovo's future Status had been exhausted. It was only last Friday morning that I blogged on this individual and his apparent influence upon the UK Government, read here! Now it would appear we are to send our last available (Telegraph's words) 1000 army troops to Kosovo to stand-by in a situation partly of this particular German's own failed mission. Ischinger himself claimed intimate knowledge of the Afghanistan situation in his Radio 4 interview stating that he was Germany's Ambassador to the USA at the time of the deployment. Is Solana co-ordinating the EU Foreign and Security Policy or what? Why is it always British Armed Forces that are placed in the firing line?
