""We oppose the partition of Kosovo. We think it will have a domino effect in Macedonia and other parts of the former Yugoslavia," Macedonia's ethnic Albanian deputy prime minister, Imer Aliu, said. "

I agree with the deputy PM whole-heartedly, but how can he be so sure that independence of Kosovo will not create the same precedent he speaks of?

How would splitting Serbia not be a precedent, but splitting Kosovo would? Makes no sense!

Albanians here will tell me Kosovo is unique because the land was initially Albanian land, which as I have said, is only partially true, because the Illyrians that lived in this lands before the Roman, Byzantine and eventually Slavic invasions are ancestors (full or partial) of both Albanians and Serbs. The "Serbs" that conquered and Slavicized the people of what is mostly the former Yugoslavia were Slavs, and the Serbian culture originated in Kosovo, but to say only Albanians lived there before anyone is not true.

Macedonia is partitioned, it will be part of Greater Albania with Kosovo. The Macedonian slavs have only themselves and the EU apologists to blame for this.

"Surely this just demostrates the profound hipocracy that the Albanians are demostrating. I dont understand how you can be opposed to the partition of Kosovo but for the partition of Serbia,"

Partition of Serbia? You want to bring Sanxhak and Vojvodina into this? Sure, I will support either. Thanks for mentioning this, also I'll also pass this post to Albanians in Macedonia since they have a BIGGER chance of independence.

Its almost a threat if you read it a second time, I mean mentioning Macedonia's partition (especially considering the location of the rally) is a pretty clear indication of what these people want.
Its "ethnic Albania" they want and they are making no bones about it. Lets face it Albanian independance in Macedonia has far more grounding then in Kosovo.

there must be some nervousness growing and growing among the Albanians, since they feel themselves forced to these gatherings...

but there is no such threat, that could fear any one of the involved parties.

so, once again, this is all quite worthless. KFOR is prepared, and Serbia is well prepared too.

if something happens, they will work together for safety.

Now we have Albanians from other countries trying to destablize the region, and threats of violence from the regions Albanians should be condemed by Pristina. But thats not the case because they too advocate the same result if their independence is not reached. Serbia will never give Kosovo away, but it may vary well be stolen illigaly. Violence is the wrong answer, but I feel if push comes to shove Serbia should defeand its country. Why shouldn't they, the Albanians are ready to fight for their cause, and I think Serbia is ready too regardless what some gov heads say. The Albanian side here say that the Serbian army is weak, but I say they had 8 years to reform and they did by American standards. Do not threaten with violance because you may bite off more than you can chew. The west is getting tired of covering the threats of violence, and may not be there for the Albanians. I think if a war broke out lines will be drawn and sides will be taken by other countries. Good luck!
