Russia should send some of its army into kosovo as peacekeepers. To hell with Albos. If Albania is so great, why Is greece full of Albanians?

France was one of the first countries to recognize Kosova, right after USA and Germany!

Ziveli Jacques !
Traditionally the French have been Serbian allies.
It is good to hear this news.
France is very close to exiting the European Union.
The "Yellow Vest" has reached the world, where people are rising up against government and media lies and corruption in several countries, including the Middle East.
Essentially it is a rejection of "Globalism", which not only destroys nations and peoples, but is heartless in its brutality and propaganda.
No nation would pridefully accept such dismissive reality of history and culture.

Peter Rocky Mountains,

Yes we have. Only you are not taught the truth in Pristina anymore after Turkey tries to help you change the history books.

We were a majority you great fool.

There were not even any mosques in Kosovo until 1500. These are our holy lands that will be returned, don’t worry.

You’re a little brat that has been skipping school, soon enough you’ll be put back under the control of your parents!

Mr. Hogard is correct - the EU is disintegrating. Now that May survived the non-confidence vote, she must deliver the exit package. Iceland voted not to join the EU a few years back, and there are many voices calling for BREXIT-like possibilities. The EU may end being about 4 regions, within 20 years tops. People want control of their: economy, borders, immigration, but want to be bound to some EU-like economic zone. Time will tell, but my bets are that Hogard is right. Further, Serbia to recognize KiM would be treason.

By any chance does anyone know if (only if) Jacques Hogard is a sympathizer or a supporter of the late Slobodan Milosevic and his regime? Wouldn't surprise me so if he is and he "bellyached" over Milosevic's downfall where he ended up at the Hague Detention Center like hell I'm going to feel sorry for Mr Hogard. I have better things to do for I never shed a tear for Milosevic,his subordinates and his sympathizers or supporters nor will I "lose sleep" over it.

It was a partial success you can say. Monastery was robbed and few icons desecrated in 1999. But, for what?
In 2004 , in presence of NATO soldiers, Devic Monastery was burned to the ground and tomb of Holy Joanakius of Devic was opened, his bones desecrated an thrown into the bushes.

Kosovo’s independence was spearheaded by America, the only reason the EU got involved was because they wanted to seem all important infront of the international community, no one asked them to get involved. The EU could burn tomorrow and Albanians would never give up Kosovo. The French are cowards, who haven’t been masters of their own home since Napoleon, so forgive me if I don’t take fighting words from a white flag waving coward seriously. As for Serbs, you need to learn to live with your neighbours as most of them are at breaking point with you.

2019 will be a very big year.

1: BREXIT has to be hammered out;
2: Fr&De will sign the 'Elysee Treaty 2.0' next week that will tie both countries much closer together (economy/defense/blablabla) - multispeed Europe in action;
3: Poland, Italy & possibly Hungary are mounting resistance (the first two have folded on judges & budgets);
4: and this is quite the biggie, is the EP elections - if it brings a lot of new anti-integration MEPs in, whether or not turn out is as historically low as the last elections.

There are others, but those are my top 4 at a guess that will have the most impact, but there is plenty of other factors in play. All bets are off.

Always the truant playing once blame the others for their ignorance.

Had Trizio not played truant, he/she/it would have been taught about the pagan horde from the other side of the Carpathian mountains called Serbs squatting the Balkans since the 7th century.

2019 will be a very big year.

1: BREXIT has to be hammered out;
2: Fr&De will sign the 'Elysee Treaty 2.0' next week that will tie both countries much closer together (economy/defense/blablabla) - multispeed Europe in action;
3: Poland, Italy & possibly Hungary are mounting resistance (the first two have folded on judges & budgets);
4: and this is quite the biggie, is the EP elections - if it brings a lot of new anti-integration MEPs in, whether or not turn out is as historically low as the last elections.

There are others, but those are my top 4 at a guess that will have the most impact, but there is plenty of other factors in play. All bets are off.

Betsy lalich, french people are so close to serbia, really?!!
France was one of the first countries to recognize Kosova, right after USA and Germany!

That's just the current establishment which isn't going to last much longer. Just ask Marine LePenn how she feels. She's the future of France.

Mr. Hogard is correct - the EU is disintegrating. Now that May survived the non-confidence vote, she must deliver the exit package. Iceland voted not to join the EU a few years back, and there are many voices calling for BREXIT-like possibilities. The EU may end being about 4 regions, within 20 years tops. People want control of their: economy, borders, immigration, but want to be bound to some EU-like economic zone. Time will tell, but my bets are that Hogard is right. Further, Serbia to recognize KiM would be treason.

Russia should send some of its army into kosovo as peacekeepers. To hell with Albos. If Albania is so great, why Is greece full of Albanians?
