When US were discussing Kosovo future they understood that the only solution for it was independence and to contribute the peace in Balkan, Washington analysts suggested $3 billion in form of aids and support.
EU had a different approach regarding Kosovo status and peace in Balkan suggesting political, economical and speeding up the region integration in EU and monitoring democracy in Serbia and Kosovo as separate independent countries, emphasizing Serb minority rights and church protection in Kosovo.
Now that Kostunica said that Kosovo has no price, either US or EU are not going to give back anything. 

Peace with you. Amen.

I heard this expression almost a decade ago with only one difference. It was Milosevic instead of Kostunica. Way to go!!!!

The Turks had a good run but they were run out eventually, so shall the Albanians be.
(peggy, 9 February 2008 23:02)
I guess that you mean Turk Empire in 13-19 century. You know who is similar with it? It is Serbian Empire in 12 century its borders where way south in Arta, Greece. And they run out but not completely. We hope one day that they do at least in 10 century borders.

UK, France and Germany are entereing their darkest and most shameful days in recent history. It was not enough to hand over Bosnia bo Muslim rule again now they want to dismember Serbia itself.
(peggy, 9 February 2008 23:02)
There are a couple of point I want to make.
First, they didn’t hand over Bosnia to Muslims, there is no Muslim nation. Those that called themselves “Muslim” are Slavs with religion of Islam. The religion cannot make a nation. This is wrong, and Albanians understand this better then any nation in the world. We have three religion but we are one nation. Treating other religion as a different entity was Serbs problem and that made you taste your own medicine.
Second, none wants to dismember Serbia. UK, France and Germany are not entering their dark and most shameful days in recent history, they are ending it. They have understood that taking a freedom away from any nation is wrong and that’s way they will help Kosovo to set FREE. End of Serb colonialism in Balkan should have been done since in 1878 and 1913, but they didn’t and they are correcting a biggest injustice made to Albanians, separating it territories in 6 countries. Setting Kosovo free is the first step.

Kostunica 2008, Milosevic 1998. Ten years of no-change...

This is true,
One thing everyone should know in few weeks kosovo is going to be accepted as a new state from at least 100 states later on proberbly in a year is gonna be accepted from more then 150states, my point, is we don't need to be recognized by states like QIPRO or CUBA not even Romania LOL.
Anyway Im wondering in 7 days what they goanna say, one more thing what about if and there is good chance for kosov with all USA help to to be part of EU before Serbia.

It is not about land tesla. It is about future of the people. Land has no meaning in itself. So we are asking you to give up keeping the Albanians hostage. That has already happened in part and it must be completed now.

Shqarthi said

-If it was not for the land what are you still doing in Kosovo, in someone else’s land, Serbian land? If you want to live under Albanian rule in independent state than you could all move to your home-country Albania and enjoy full independence. Don’t try to prove me that K-Albanians are natives because we all know that that is not true. You all have to thank Tito for letting you come from Albania to Kosovo and for being a God father to every 10th child of each family.

Serbs have no reason to keep you as a hostage; on the contrary you are all free to live where ever you like but be decent citizens and respect the country you reside. If you don’t like this then you are free to go to Albania and enjoy Albanian unity over there. All Serbs want is their people, their land and cultural heritage intact. If it was not about the land why then rejection of plenty of proposals offered by Belgrade. Belgrade offered you a self governing without Belgrade’s interference. But of course this proposal is not good enough to unite all Albanians from the region living in one state called Greater Albania.

I can see many Albanians here spew over Kostunica as the worst Serbia’s politician. Well, at the moment Kostunica is your worst nightmare, that you can be sure. I know why Albanians have such problem dealing with Kostunica, it must have been because of his protest back in 1974 after Tito’s constitution that granted Albanian’s status of nation and full self-governing in Kosovo. Well, that protest cost Kostunica his position as lecturer in law faculty.

But as Kostunica said, this is a time of force and Serbia resisted many forces and comparing the fact that Belgrade rose 38 times from the ashes this looks like minor thing that we are going thru at the moment. But we will overcome this attempt of robbery as well because time for the law and justice is about to come, sooner than later.

Mr. Kostunica, "FREEDOM HAS NO PRICE"!
For your info mr Kostunica, Kosova Albanians paid the price for Kosova with rivers of blood, more than you could think of, and judging by your stance you want more of it, your immorality has no limits. Serbia's history will remember you, for bringing such a misery for both Albanians and Serbs.
Mr Kostunica It is not illgeal to ask to be free, if it was we would not have 192 countries in the world, and 193Rd in the making, and i hope that will make you smile at least once in your life time.

"This is a time of force, but Serbia’s historical experience says that the time of law and justice always has its day,"

So, what he's really saying is that Serbia can not stop us frm declaring independence for now... but that they will eventually be back with their best ambassadors, the Scorions, Frankies, Arkans Tigers and god knows who else.

Ohh well, we will be a member of NATO by then.

Mr. Kostunica and Mr. Nikolic are Albanians' best friends in Kosova Independence Process. We really needed another Milosevic these final days, and Serbia provided us with two of them. Generosity at its best.

(shqarthi, 10 February 2008 00:49)"

Exactly, this is why you are being offered a great deal to rule over yourselves. Rhetoric such as "being held hostage," does not cut it anymore. Ultimately you will have your autonomy, within the sovereign state of Serbia. If that is not enough, you can enjoy the trappings of a full nation state within Albania. Bon Voyage!

Tom,

completly agree with the analogy - hardly surprising that Tadic as you put is now "bad cop" - what else could be expected when within less then 24 hours of his election the EU "friends" facade slipped totally and stabbed him in the back - Kostunica was totally justified with his stance and I hope he didn't say told you so because it was so obvioulsy the wrong message!


"It is about future of the people. Land has no meaning in itself. So we are asking you to give up keeping the Albanians hostage. That has already happened in part and it must be completed now"

- Serbia is keeping no-one hostage - if it's not to someones liking they need not steal Serbian territory in an attempt to illegally create a non existant state totally Dependent upon outside aid and military to prop it up!!!

despite these rather imature Albanian and Serbian nationalistic rants, Kostunica is raising some very important questions pertaining to International law.
Hopefully the forum on this channel can begin addressing them, and then a mature coversation can begin.

"Please don't deny the obvious. It is unfortunate that you ask Serbs daily on B92 to give up their land, when the answer is always a resounding no. Kosovo is Serbia, now and forever!"

It is not about land tesla. It is about future of the people. Land has no meaning in itself. So we are asking you to give up keeping the Albanians hostage. That has already happened in part and it must be completed now.

Actually none is asking you anything, because the answer is known..It involves islamic terrorism (that makes Albanians laugh every time it is mentioned). It is cool to see that Serb leaders are not using this argument anymore, maybe they understood that nobody believed that. It involves end of the world scenarios about setting precedents (the precedents were set looong before, Serbia set one precedent of its own in 1830). etc etc.

I would imagine that up to recently the US, Germany and others would have viewed Tadic and Kostunica in terms of the old Hollywood "Good Cop, Bad Cop" scenario - Good Cop (Tadic) being the nice moderate while Bad Cop (Kostunica) is the evil hardliner.

Based on recent statements by both of these men, the Yanks and their allies are now facing a "Bad Cop, Very Bad Cop" scenario.

Long may it last.

Desperate speach coming by mr.Kostunica...
What next?He will go to Fushe Kosova(Kosovo polje)and give another speach and sent his army and tanks to disolve Kosovas parlament?
He knows that hes loosing support among his voters (especialy the ones from belgrade and other big city's of serbia)so he is using his kosova card and resolution 1244 from UNSC(which i might ad that is souly based on rambuillee agreement)to convince the people of serbia that he is on the side of justice and the support from Rusia will help him keep kosova within Serbias borders.And we all know who Rusia suports,they supported Sadam Husein ,Taliban,north KOrea,Noriega ,Iran and many other dictatoship regimes and now they support mr Kostunica.And as for signing the deal wit EU
Kosovars albanians really dont give to much thought if Serbia dont sign any agreemet with EU.God for them if they do, and god for them if they dont as long as the will of the serb people pervales.And thats TRUE democracy.

Well... sonds very patriotic what koshtunica says. But how realistic is it?! All EU (cyprys exluded)and US and most of UN states aproove Kosovo indipendence. And what he says is that they are against the princples they stand on. Come on ... come on koshtunica.this reminds me of Enver Hoxha. He was always stating that WE are the righteous, OTHERS are wrong. Look who supports you my god...!!!! Its Russia, China, Cuba the less democratic countries in the world or some other scared countries. What about those Albanian separatists???? Have a better look Mr. Koshtunica. All Albanians living in Kosovo that wants to go away from your country. Because they want to manage themselves the country they have been living in from thousands years. Because the Serbian government of years ago (Yugolsavia) was not able to integrate them as the other nationalities (that left by the way) and even killed and sent them away from their homes. How do you think you will be able to manage that area and those Albanian "separatist" if "a miracle" happens and nobody will support them for indipendence. I suppose that you yourself do not believe on what you say... The world has changed several times. Changed in the begining of the century when you were supported by the same great powers to take Kosova away from Albania and now its changing back to where it was. I suppose it is painful but thats a fact and a reality. It is up to you (and others that back you) not to make it more painful and a disaster for the Serbs that have already had many painful experiences because of leaders like yourself. Serbs and all of us in the region need some peace for god sake. All of us need some sustainibilty that might help us generate plans and dreams to prosper this region blessed by nature or god but damned by it own leaders. Take a break Mr. Koshtunica and think about the consequences of your actions!

He knows that hes loosing support among his voters (especialy the ones from belgrade and other big city's of serbia)so he is using his kosova card and resolution 1244 from UNSC(which i might ad that is souly based on rambuillee agreement)to convince the people of serbia that he is on the side of justice and the support from Rusia will help him keep kosova within Serbias borders.And we all know who Rusia suports,they supported Sadam Husein ,Taliban,north KOrea,Noriega ,Iran and many other dictatoship regimes and now they support mr Kostunica.And as for signing the deal wit EU
Kosovars albanians really dont give to much thought if Serbia dont sign any agreemet with EU.God for them if they do, and god for them if they dont as long as the will of the serb people pervales.And thats TRUE democracy.

tesla,

"Please don't deny the obvious. It is unfortunate that you ask Serbs daily on B92 to give up their land, when the answer is always a resounding no. Kosovo is Serbia, now and forever!"

It is not about land tesla. It is about future of the people. Land has no meaning in itself. So we are asking you to give up keeping the Albanians hostage. That has already happened in part and it must be completed now.

Actually none is asking you anything, because the answer is known..It involves islamic terrorism (that makes Albanians laugh every time it is mentioned). It is cool to see that Serb leaders are not using this argument anymore, maybe they understood that nobody believed that. It involves end of the world scenarios about setting precedents (the precedents were set looong before, Serbia set one precedent of its own in 1830). etc etc.

Well... sonds very patriotic what koshtunica says. But how realistic is it?! All EU (cyprys exluded)and US and most of UN states aproove Kosovo indipendence. And what he says is that they are against the princples they stand on. Come on ... come on koshtunica.this reminds me of Enver Hoxha. He was always stating that WE are the righteous, OTHERS are wrong. Look who supports you my god...!!!! Its Russia, China, Cuba the less democratic countries in the world or some other scared countries. What about those Albanian separatists???? Have a better look Mr. Koshtunica. All Albanians living in Kosovo that wants to go away from your country. Because they want to manage themselves the country they have been living in from thousands years. Because the Serbian government of years ago (Yugolsavia) was not able to integrate them as the other nationalities (that left by the way) and even killed and sent them away from their homes. How do you think you will be able to manage that area and those Albanian "separatist" if "a miracle" happens and nobody will support them for indipendence. I suppose that you yourself do not believe on what you say... The world has changed several times. Changed in the begining of the century when you were supported by the same great powers to take Kosova away from Albania and now its changing back to where it was. I suppose it is painful but thats a fact and a reality. It is up to you (and others that back you) not to make it more painful and a disaster for the Serbs that have already had many painful experiences because of leaders like yourself. Serbs and all of us in the region need some peace for god sake. All of us need some sustainibilty that might help us generate plans and dreams to prosper this region blessed by nature or god but damned by it own leaders. Take a break Mr. Koshtunica and think about the consequences of your actions!

I would imagine that up to recently the US, Germany and others would have viewed Tadic and Kostunica in terms of the old Hollywood "Good Cop, Bad Cop" scenario - Good Cop (Tadic) being the nice moderate while Bad Cop (Kostunica) is the evil hardliner.

Based on recent statements by both of these men, the Yanks and their allies are now facing a "Bad Cop, Very Bad Cop" scenario.

Long may it last.

-If it was not for the land what are you still doing in Kosovo, in someone else’s land, Serbian land? If you want to live under Albanian rule in independent state than you could all move to your home-country Albania and enjoy full independence. Don’t try to prove me that K-Albanians are natives because we all know that that is not true. You all have to thank Tito for letting you come from Albania to Kosovo and for being a God father to every 10th child of each family.

Serbs have no reason to keep you as a hostage; on the contrary you are all free to live where ever you like but be decent citizens and respect the country you reside. If you don’t like this then you are free to go to Albania and enjoy Albanian unity over there. All Serbs want is their people, their land and cultural heritage intact. If it was not about the land why then rejection of plenty of proposals offered by Belgrade. Belgrade offered you a self governing without Belgrade’s interference. But of course this proposal is not good enough to unite all Albanians from the region living in one state called Greater Albania.

I can see many Albanians here spew over Kostunica as the worst Serbia’s politician. Well, at the moment Kostunica is your worst nightmare, that you can be sure. I know why Albanians have such problem dealing with Kostunica, it must have been because of his protest back in 1974 after Tito’s constitution that granted Albanian’s status of nation and full self-governing in Kosovo. Well, that protest cost Kostunica his position as lecturer in law faculty.

But as Kostunica said, this is a time of force and Serbia resisted many forces and comparing the fact that Belgrade rose 38 times from the ashes this looks like minor thing that we are going thru at the moment. But we will overcome this attempt of robbery as well because time for the law and justice is about to come, sooner than later.

Well said Mr. Koštunica! This about sums up the total Serbian sentiment expressed by the people. Even Mr. Tadic is wise enough to fall in line. There you have it my Albanian friends. Please don't deny the obvious. It is unfortunate that you ask Serbs daily on B92 to give up their land, when the answer is always a resounding no. Kosovo is Serbia, now and forever!

Bravo Kostunica! If the US would fight to keep land it stole from the native Americans, you have to right to fight for your ancestral homeland.

Thank God Serbia has people like Kostunica.
Serbs have always resisted being enslaved and this is not going to be different.

The Turks had a good run but they were run out eventually, so shall the Albanians be.
UK,France and Germany are entereing their darkest and most shameful days in recent history. It was not enough to hand over Bosnia bo Muslim rule again now they want to dismember Serbia itself.

Do Serbia's former allies really want to lose such an important and loyal friend only to gain a charity case?

despite these rather imature Albanian and Serbian nationalistic rants, Kostunica is raising some very important questions pertaining to International law.
Hopefully the forum on this channel can begin addressing them, and then a mature coversation can begin.

Tom,

completly agree with the analogy - hardly surprising that Tadic as you put is now "bad cop" - what else could be expected when within less then 24 hours of his election the EU "friends" facade slipped totally and stabbed him in the back - Kostunica was totally justified with his stance and I hope he didn't say told you so because it was so obvioulsy the wrong message!


"It is about future of the people. Land has no meaning in itself. So we are asking you to give up keeping the Albanians hostage. That has already happened in part and it must be completed now"

- Serbia is keeping no-one hostage - if it's not to someones liking they need not steal Serbian territory in an attempt to illegally create a non existant state totally Dependent upon outside aid and military to prop it up!!!

Exactly, this is why you are being offered a great deal to rule over yourselves. Rhetoric such as "being held hostage," does not cut it anymore. Ultimately you will have your autonomy, within the sovereign state of Serbia. If that is not enough, you can enjoy the trappings of a full nation state within Albania. Bon Voyage!

I heard this expression almost a decade ago with only one difference. It was Milosevic instead of Kostunica. Way to go!!!!

The Turks had a good run but they were run out eventually, so shall the Albanians be.
(peggy, 9 February 2008 23:02)
I guess that you mean Turk Empire in 13-19 century. You know who is similar with it? It is Serbian Empire in 12 century its borders where way south in Arta, Greece. And they run out but not completely. We hope one day that they do at least in 10 century borders.

UK, France and Germany are entereing their darkest and most shameful days in recent history. It was not enough to hand over Bosnia bo Muslim rule again now they want to dismember Serbia itself.
(peggy, 9 February 2008 23:02)
There are a couple of point I want to make.
First, they didn’t hand over Bosnia to Muslims, there is no Muslim nation. Those that called themselves “Muslim” are Slavs with religion of Islam. The religion cannot make a nation. This is wrong, and Albanians understand this better then any nation in the world. We have three religion but we are one nation. Treating other religion as a different entity was Serbs problem and that made you taste your own medicine.
Second, none wants to dismember Serbia. UK, France and Germany are not entering their dark and most shameful days in recent history, they are ending it. They have understood that taking a freedom away from any nation is wrong and that’s way they will help Kosovo to set FREE. End of Serb colonialism in Balkan should have been done since in 1878 and 1913, but they didn’t and they are correcting a biggest injustice made to Albanians, separating it territories in 6 countries. Setting Kosovo free is the first step.

When US were discussing Kosovo future they understood that the only solution for it was independence and to contribute the peace in Balkan, Washington analysts suggested $3 billion in form of aids and support.
EU had a different approach regarding Kosovo status and peace in Balkan suggesting political, economical and speeding up the region integration in EU and monitoring democracy in Serbia and Kosovo as separate independent countries, emphasizing Serb minority rights and church protection in Kosovo.
Now that Kostunica said that Kosovo has no price, either US or EU are not going to give back anything. 

Peace with you. Amen.
