Marnac KFOR

The KFOR commander Lt. Gen. Xavier de Marnhac has exposed his "optimistic" view of the future of Kosovo: no more multiethnic tensions in the province, for the simple reason that one of the causes for that will soon disappear. He said that "the problem of tense relations between Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority and Serb minority would eventually reach a "biological end" as the average age of the Serbs was much older".

De Marnhac added that "the average age of Kosovo's Albanians was 28, while the figure for Serbs was 54. In the mid to long term there will be some kind of biological end to the problem here because, you know, one of the population(s) will simply disappear." (Reuters).
