Ahmet: "You seem to forget that there is an ANNEX attached to 1244 regarding the will of Kosova people.That annex maes it legal for Kosova to get a permanent divorce from Serbia."

You would have saved a lot of money and time if you'd raised this before.

Write and tell the EU, UN, US, and all their teams of among the top legal minds in the world. They must have missed that one!

Liam - Firstly, Germany, Britain and France don't 'own' the EU as is being illustrated at the moment.

Liam: "Yes, the Dutch Goverment resigned in shame over their failure to kill the Serbs who carried out mass murder in Srebrencia."

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but you should read more detail about what happened. Srebrenica was not the only mass murder in Bosnia, and Serbs were not the only murderers. All sides carried out terrible crimes - it was a civil war. I am not justifying any of these crimes.

In Srebrenica the Dutch troops disarmed the local population, guaranteed their security and then stood by while the slaughters took place. At no point was there the simplistic option to 'kill the Serbs'.

Liam,

My point is that the EU ideal is of a community of independent states co-operating together to the benefit of everyone. This will naturally involve centralised decision making to some extent but national parliaments still retain a large degree of autonomy. Now Germany and France especially are trying to dilute that autonomy and centralise nearly all decision making with few veto powers by national parliaments. Countries like Ireland and many others would simply become the far-flung provinces of a superstate controlled by the Germans, French and to some extent British. This is not what I signed up to.

By the way, you should brush up on your facts. Ireland gets damn all money from the EU anymore.

Tadic : EU doesn't want to steal Kosovo.
No - the EU just wants Tadic to sign it over to them.... and I am worried that Tadic is the person who would do just that!

I'd say Milan that if you want to start a fan club for politicians and company that you should start your own site and see how many hits it gets.

This is not the place to tell people to vote for one candidate or another. Besides you are wasting your time - very few people (like myself) here have the right to vote in Serbia and even fewer will believe you when you express adoration for a former failed politician and academic.

Liam

pre 16 godina

Will someone tell Tim that Germany, France and Britain already own the EU, and are its major source of funds? It is a nonsense to suggest they are stealing the EU. Countries like Ireland, Greece, Cyprus and Romania, for example, still receive more money from the EU than they receive, despite Ireland being the richest in the club!

Tom O'Donoghue

Tadic is right in one respect - the EU, as such, does not want to steal Kosovo. But there is a group of countries within the EU that does: Germany, France, Britain. What's more, they want to steal the EU too. This is what the Lisbon Treaty is all about. They must be stopped.

Mr Tadic, you have no shame. Yes, the Dutch Goverment resigned in shame over their failure to kill the Serbs who carried out mass murder in Srebrencia. Yet, your Government protects and defends Mladic and Karadic, the leaders of the Bosnia murderers. How dare you twist Srebrenica into a sick argument to keep Kosovo. History will remember what your Government did in Kosovo - killing, torture, dicrimination and ethnic cleaning. Your people, the citizens of Serbia, deserve a Government that will represent the decency and the desire of most Serbs to join Europe, banish the sad minority of people who shamed Serbia in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. Europe is waiting for Serbia's young population to join Europe, and will welcome them. People like you keep Serbia poor and backward. Will all Serbs be learning Russian now? You think Russia will do you any good? Serbia's greatest enemy is its mafia, political leaders and bureaucracy, and certainly not Albanians whose simple desire is peace, independence and a chance to develop.

As far as army forget it dude. No one will start another war. As an albanian i can tell you that we dont want Greater Albania. However we dont want albanians in Kosova being slaughtered like Bosnians and the rest of the former Yugo populus from Serbian forces. I dont need no one to tell me what happend and save your history lessons. All i have to say is this. It is in the best interests of everyone involved if Kosova got it indipendence and the Serbs recognized it and showed the world that they are far from Ratko Mlladic that is hiding in their own backyard. They could also advice their fellow serbs in Kosova to become more active in politics so they have a say in the new state. I salute you and dont want to argue. This is my point of view and I am sticking to it..

I do agree with Cosić idea for unifying all Serbs in one state and leave Albanian to mind their business in their own separate country. I cannot hide. I am fan of this idea for years and I personally adored President Cosić for this unique and peaceful solution. It was a very strong opposition to this idea from Milošević and Šešelj. That why they through him away like a rotten lemon. That way Yugoslavia ended in this way. It is easy to blame others and other reason of Yugoslavia war was forcing Albanian to live in a artificial country with Slavs. Why don’t they let them go? President Cosić is the only one that did openly through an idea that would bring peace for all. I believe even Mesić have his own share of fault for Yugoslavia. His ego destroy Yugoslavia but I still insist for non-Slav communities forced to be part of Yugoslavia was a big mistake since 19th century. EU is trying to correct that mistake. Why we don't understand this. Only Tomislav Nikolić will understand the need of Serbs and will resolve peacefully the Balkan problem. Vote for Tomislav Nikolić. B92 you cannot deny the support for Tomislav Nikolić and give Tadić unlimited space on news and comments. This is not free press.

So Tadic what exactly does the EU mean when it says it will send in its mission to implement Ahtisaari plan ?

You have lost your presidency if this is your message - EU at any cost really even at the cost of kosovo & Metohija?

That is a shame - I thought more of Tadic but if what B92 state is true then he is clearly does not want the Presidency himself since he ignores teh majority wish who do want an EU future but not at the cost of dismemberment and partition of the Sovereign Republic of Serbia. Serbian President worthy of the electorates vote should be proud to proclaim he puts Serbia's intergrity first at any cost!!!

Smile, would want to hear your viewpoint on this since last week you said Tadic would not suggest anything like this!

EU was in Kosovo 1941-1945 (Germany, Bulgaria, Italy..), just the title of mission was different. Thus, EU has certain experience in ruling over Kosovo. Therefore there will not be any doubt that mission will be "successful".

Mr. Tadic is right. I think it would be the best if he wins the elections. But I must admit it's good for the Serbs if the West thinks the radical party will win the elections.
Albanias and USA are afraid of something and are in a great hurry to declare indepedence. Don't know what yet, the next few days will show.
I'm not serb but I strongly believe thet: let them think that the radicals will win but in the end Mr Tadic should win.

bmrusila,

do you really think any nation would want to take Kosovo, which has the potential to become something like Europes's very own Gaza?

EU does not want Kosovo, it has been forced to act in a miserable way because Serbia has not been able to deal with its minority.

Nobody said EU wants to steal it – it just wants to take it away from the rightfull owner. Mare semantics.
The general rule of logic:
A=B, B=C therefore A=C
In Serbia:
I endorse EU, EU endorses independent Kosovo therefore I DO NOT endorse independent Kosovo.
How does that work, only Mr. Tadic knows.
Or maybe not.

Beni - You can't keep on referring back to 1999. An agreement was drawn up and signed by all parties leading to the implementation of Resolution 1244 which preserves Serbia's sovereignty over Kosovo. That was the time, at the end of the war and the drawing up of agreements, to argue against Serbia's territorial rights. Not now, 9 years later.

The president added that Serbia would launch legal proceedings against any country that recognized Kosovo independence.

Very good mr Tadic. You have no shame at all. Do you think that this gone work. Do you think that killer who killed his victims has right to blain victim? For what reason? dont tell me I know they made you suffer during killing act and this made you very angry. Yes you have right they are guilty in charge.

“Serbia would fight to the end with diplomatic means and would launch legal proceedings against any country that recognized Kosovo independence”

I hope for this country that fights and proceedings will not represent Serbia’s diplomatic main approach for longtime. This approach would make Serbia’s image among international community even worse and is going to make to Serbia much more harm than to anybody else. Why not some out of the box thinking? If Serbia has so much to give to Kosovo, why not letting them become independent and then start building trust. At some point they will probably understand benefits they will have closing tails with Serbia and then large possibilities of economic, cultural and political agreements may become reality and union as well. Balkans Union? Are you tempted? If France Germany and UK achieved that, why not Albanians, Serbs, Croats, Greeks and the others?

Oh, Mr President I don't know do you fake of being naive or you are just naive for real. I can see you want Europe at any costs with the “head held above”.

let this greater-albania-ideology behind, it will not bring anything good for you.

as for Tadic,
someone who openly says that he will only use diplomatic means, while others are tearing his country apart, should not be on duty.

what do we have the military for? to serve american interests in Afhganistan?

noooo.....

Tadic is right in one respect - the EU, as such, does not want to steal Kosovo. But there is a group of countries within the EU that does: Germany, France, Britain. What's more, they want to steal the EU too. This is what the Lisbon Treaty is all about. They must be stopped.

Tadic : EU doesn't want to steal Kosovo.
No - the EU just wants Tadic to sign it over to them.... and I am worried that Tadic is the person who would do just that!

You seem to forget that there is an ANNEX attached to 1244 regarding the will of Kosova people.That annex maes it legal for Kosova to get a permanent divorce from Serbia.

Liam,

My point is that the EU ideal is of a community of independent states co-operating together to the benefit of everyone. This will naturally involve centralised decision making to some extent but national parliaments still retain a large degree of autonomy. Now Germany and France especially are trying to dilute that autonomy and centralise nearly all decision making with few veto powers by national parliaments. Countries like Ireland and many others would simply become the far-flung provinces of a superstate controlled by the Germans, French and to some extent British. This is not what I signed up to.

By the way, you should brush up on your facts. Ireland gets damn all money from the EU anymore.

Liam - Firstly, Germany, Britain and France don't 'own' the EU as is being illustrated at the moment.

Liam: "Yes, the Dutch Goverment resigned in shame over their failure to kill the Serbs who carried out mass murder in Srebrencia."

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but you should read more detail about what happened. Srebrenica was not the only mass murder in Bosnia, and Serbs were not the only murderers. All sides carried out terrible crimes - it was a civil war. I am not justifying any of these crimes.

In Srebrenica the Dutch troops disarmed the local population, guaranteed their security and then stood by while the slaughters took place. At no point was there the simplistic option to 'kill the Serbs'.

You would have saved a lot of money and time if you'd raised this before.

Write and tell the EU, UN, US, and all their teams of among the top legal minds in the world. They must have missed that one!
