Medvedev: Here to prove Russia's support

The US & 'few' EU have totally miscalculated and failed to fully understand the reality of their illegal actions. But then again what else should one expect when the US spearheads EU foreign policy while suggesting they know what is best given? One need not look further then the calamity they have caused in Iraq to comprehend the complete opposite is likely to occur!

What has happened to the lie of 100 countries will immediatly follow the illegal folly? Ah but then some are very prone to telling porkies as exemplified by polar bears in Sar planina!!!

What is clear is that Status itself is in a even greater state of limbo and instability has risen and will continue to do so!

I thought the US said Status Quo was untenable and they wanted stability?

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Mr.Medvedev to head the Russian delegation is a good sign and moral support for the Serbs. He needs just one week to be elected and then Russia will activate it's Serbian politics. Failure in this direction will lower the Russian papers around the world so we are strongly motivated to gain results in Serbian crisis.

this is medvedev on a trip to personally meet what will be his top allies in europe when he takes over

Nikshala,

"Kosovo got recognized by almost 20 countries in the first week! "

- you were told 100+ would immediatly recognise;

"Thaci, who was speaking on Friday, said that “there will be a powerful, massive and consolidated recognition”."
http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/7791/
- the reality is hardly powerful nor massive but is certainly consolidation of limbo!

I very much doubt the ethnic-Albanians have a clear perspective of the realities given that they actually believe they have independence - this was just an illegal declaration of DEPENDENCE - not even illegal Independence!!! Of course you can continue to belive in illegal 'Independence' [sic] just as some believe in the existance of polar bears in the Sar Planina!

Welcome to the world of Frozen conflicts a new addition - kosova! In the meanwhile Serbia will quietly get on with promotion of Serbian institutions across its sovereign province Kosovo & Metohija while the EU INLEX (lawless) mission keeps tabs on criminality with its judicial and policing in the areas required!

Oh what a tangled web we weave and how some are so easily deceived...

Nikshala, Olf

Why can't you guys be honest?
As things stand 17 countries have recognised Kosovo independence. There are not "70" more promises out there. Phase one will proceed forward to phase one-and-a-half and then it will all stop dead. Total? Around 30-40 max, plus a few stragglers after the Yanks ger around to intimidating them. Not exactly a global endorsement.

Kosovo will be a unique entity - partitioned at the Ibar, recognised by a quarter of the world, ignored by most of the rest and kept afloat in the short term by 20,000 foreign troops and donations from its supporters.

It need not have been that way. But you've made your bed, now lie in it.

Apart from Gas and a veto in UN, what does Russia offer to the civilized world?
--

How about the rule of International law? That's obviously something the Albanians have difficulties grappling!

Now, apart from huge bombs dropped on innocent civilians and an illegal quasi entity, what does the US offer the world?

TO: Burim Blakaj,25 February

I don't know what international support you are dreaming of! Forget that and be more realistic ! Better concentrate on the traffic ... and do not talk of what you have no idea.

Even the islamic world rejects your puppet zone. How can they accept you an islamic nation when only few pray even the first SURA (bismilla-hi raman ur-rahim or la illahi illa la ua Mohammad-ul-rasul-ul-ulla) but everybody openly drinks wine and beer ... You are Turkish type of Muslims i.e. half muslim while Russia is by the way a member of the Islamic Conference Organisation.

So next time before you say something against Russia and Serbia just have a look at yourself if you have a mirror of course. BY now 93% of the world supports Serbia and 7% support the Snake.

It looks like the Kosovo Albanians are very active today posting their usual comments. I can sense a false feeling of confidence since their illegal UDI and all the recognitions. It is very obvious that the rest of the world has turned to its business as usual and so the outlook is not all to rosy. Mock Russia how much you can, but in the end you will be in for a ice-cold shower. With a splitted EU and UN the position of your US masters is becoming weaker and weaker (like the $). Their constant lying has undermined their position so much that few take them seriously any more. Serbia is not looking for a war, but in case needed I am sure that the Serbian army will come to the rescue of Kosovo Serbs and 16000 NATO troops is not that many. In addition, this time NATO will not dare to bomb Serbia like in 1999, I am sure that Russia will make that happen.
Also take a look what may happen to Musharaf in Pakistan: one day he is the US "biggest" ally and now they want to get rid of him. Maybe Thaci should call him and ask for advice how to avoid this (in the end he cannot).

Well, if nothing else, we certainly live in interesting times.

Is quite possible US/UK/German bloc may actually have done Serbia a favour by pushing it into the Russian sphere of influence. Instead of being one country amongst many, have now moved into 'most favoured status' with Russia. And given Serbia's central position in the balkans, will in future give Serbia leverage vis-a-vie 'the west.'


Arben:

Seems to me that it's NATO who's the belligerent one making belicose threats.

And the fact that Medvedev has made a personal visit one week before the Russian elections speaks volumes - No UN recognition for the 'self-styled independent' Kosovo, & baring a change to the EU constitution, no membership into the EU.

Enjoy.

to niklshala:

"There is a lot a lot of work to be done, but finaly the Kosovan people have a clear perspective."

Are talking about the 60% unnemlpyed people in KiM? Are you aware of the size of that unnemployment figure? You can just keep dreaming about those billion dollar investments.

By the way nikshala, I am curious, can you tell me why albanian terrorists tried to blow up for dix in america? So you see this ILLEGAL LAND THEFT BY AMERICA has nothing to do with americans "loving" albanians.

What hope do you have when you can't even get the facts right? It was the Serbians who lived in Croatia and Bosnia fighting for their freedom. Serbia was not directly involved in any of those conflicts, apart from political support and negotiations through the international community.

Also, Serbia attacked Slovenia? How could that be when it was the Yugoslav army that entered and the president at that time was none other then Mesic (a Croatian)!

I suppose the truth hurts!

World knows about breaking the International when Serbia attacked sovereign countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and than latter the province of Kosova.
(Olf, 25 February 2008 17:32)

Clarification, it was Ante Markovic , former VP of Yugoslavia who sent to seal the borders in Slovenia in the early nineties, not the republic of Serbia at the time.

It was both Croatia and Boznia Herzegovina who surrounded JNA (Jugoslav National Army) barracks.

The KLA launched terrorist activites against both the JNA and Serbia police which prompted the Serbian MUP and military to secure Kosovo and Metohojia.

Facts cannot be contradicted.

John,

"Medvedev! He looks tiny, maybe 95lb. Nobody will get scared out of him."

John, you need to imagine him with one hand on the lever which controls gas-flow to Europe, and another hand on the button which controls Russia's nuclear arsenal.

And if going gets rough, he can always ask Putin to teach him some of his Judo mind-tricks...

Doesn't that send cold shivers down your spine?

To all the K-albanian posters

Can anyone of you explain to me two things:

- How come that nobody or just a few % of your eldorado expatriates have no intention to return to your region? Do they know something we all don't?
- France was trying to sent back some refugees k-albanian families, but they were denied by Kosovo, interesting, no?

I felt that this was a great show of support from a man who is obviously very busy and will soon be President.

I have problems with Russia's democratic structure, but at least they are willing to make their arguments in accordance with international law and I side with them completely with regard to Kosovo.

I am writing a thesis in Ireland on Balkan stability so if you would like to give me your view, please email at adamflynn1@hotmail.com - thanks.

"What strikes me viewing the Medvedev-Kostunica photo is the extremely gloomy face of Vojo”

Ah, viewing life through the eyes of a curmudgeon.

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

Your gloomy interpretation of Mr. Kostunica's facial expression says more about your chronically negative attitude then it does about the reality of the photo.

(donny, 25 February 2008 22:09)"

Donny, I assume that you are an American based on your comments. I think you are very naive yourself. Nobody expects Russia to be friendly and energy is one of their main businesses these days and they have every right to defend their income and investments (it is not their fault that Europe is energy addicted). I thought that GW Bush and the US claimed that the radar and missle sites in Poland and the Czech Republic were meant to intercept non-existing missles from states like Iran and North Korea, but now you give us a different insight. If you are right I can understand that Russia is willing to flex its muscles. The US is doing all this to divide Europe and a lot of Europeans are sick of that just like they are sick of their politicians following the US so blindly. Russia considers The Balkans as its traditional sphere of influence and they are not too happy that the EU and the US/NATO are trying to establish their influence. Maybe you should educate yourself and see on any recent world map that Russia and Albania do not bother (so how can the latter country stand in between Russia and the West). I think Russia is feeling some kind of encirclement with NATO getting closer and closer. Anyway, they have nuclear weapons and so NATO would think twice to do anything stupid. Why does NATO not put missles in Kosovo? Maybe they are already there (at least it is closer to Iran). I am not sure if Russia tries to increase its economics ties with Europe. That is their good right just like it is Europe's good right that a majority of Europeans do not want Turkey in the EU. I hope things are more clear for you now.

Princip is quite right, I agree...some are really incredibly easy to deceive...

and Tom from Ireland has put it right: they had the chance for autonomy, now they will have to be "happy" with less than autonomy... but, I am fine with that, as long it is UNSC 1244 being quite clear on the question of sovereignty. so, for a certain period of time there is a foreign occupation, but that will end. and the US will fade away from the Balkans... while Serbia will still be there! and like Peter has said it:
Serbia is just about to start developing.

to my fellow serbs - kosovo was alreadylost back in tito's era.

to the albanians - congratulations you now have a country that is not economically viable, a country with no tourism and a country whose only purpose is to serve the new world order in order for it to have enormous bases in the region.

That's what this is all about, NATO's intention of spreading around the world with it's spearhead being the United States. Despite the extreme difficulty of preventing this because it has already been happening for decades, I am proud of my fellow Serbs for saying "NO" to Kosovo independece and showing what a fine people we are, with dignity and pride and above all the TRUTH on our side.

To the "Kosovars" good luck with your 85% portion of Kosovo, you're definately going to need it.

PEACE.

Princip,

for the last year or so, you kept posting that there won't be and 'illegal' declaration of independence, 'illegal' recoginition of independence.

But guess what, it happened.

Kosovo got recognized by almost 20 countries in the first week! Another 70 or so have said that they will recognize Kosovo.

Thats better than most people in Kosovo ever hoped.

The truth is that by middle of March most of EU countries will reconginze Kosovo, and thats what matters to us, since we look towards Europe, and not Russia or Africa or S. America (not that I am trying to downplay the importance of those countries, but simply Kosovo is interested in having good relations with its close European nieighbours).

Within the first 3 days, US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, etc etc.. recognized Kosovo.

You can deny it all you want, you can also try to get some satisfaction that Kazakhstan won't recognized Kosovo, but the truth it Kosovo is independent from Serbia.

There is a lot a lot of work to be done, but finaly the Kosovan people have a clear perspective.

What are you posting here? What? You are saying about russian interest in the Balkans and even Serbaia. Come on people! What the Russia does is only protecting international law. Ones this law was abused and all europe was on the knees under hitler. You prefer to make strong critics to recognize the simple thing. You prefer changes to stability. You want the war? In this way of comments you will get it! You want to be on your knees again? You will be. You claim the Russia is a tyranny??? Possibly to claim ussr but not Russia. If this day international law was abused, next day it will be abused in your house.

Joe,
you are wrong the Serbs, we are finally free. We carried the Croats, Bosnians, Albanians after each major war they lost. WWI, WWII, only the Serbs and Serbs in Montenegro were on the side of justice. WE ARE FREE NOW! Finally, the most special and meaningful anthem "God of Justice" plays loudly and the flag flies over Serbia, God has restored Serbia from it's "brothers." Serbs are free. And remember one thing, huge civilizations, EMPIRES, have come and tried to crush the Serbian faith and spirit, each one has LOST. Turks, AustoHungarians, Nazi's, and now it is the West's time to lose. It is only a matter of time, KNOW IT.
Orange County, California,
WE LOVE SERBIA! WE KNOW THE TRUTH!

What will happen in the future we will still see, one thing is definate the unauthorized „creative interpretaion“ of international law by the US will not be a “unique case”.
If the UN assembly does not recognize Kosovo, it will exist like Taiwan, some countries will recognize it some not.
Only the UN is authorized to interpret its own acts in cases where some kind of dilemma exists and creating new regulations is a process goes thru the institutions of the UN (members sign and ratify the changes-multilateral contracts).
Someone arrogant will say well the rest of the world is not important, well the rest of the world are members of the UN and have also their say about this (one vote-one country, democratic), or are they not worthy to have their say?

Oh what atngled web we have.
no more follies and mollies, becasue the final act is done and now we are moving forward and this Russian delegations visiting Belgrade has no impact on Kosova at all.
Mark my word on this. Time and time again I have told you so.

p.s.

By the way Spain, Romania, Greece, Slovakia have just blocked Kosovo into entering the EU forever, since all EU members have to approve a new member.
Even if they wanted to recognize Kosovo, they can not do it and the first reason is not love for sure.

LOL yes Genti Serbia is shaking to the likes of mighty Kosovo.... BAHAHAHA! Lord, if Albanians really think like you Serbia doesn't have to do much to regain Kosovo.

That's the way the Russian bear grumbles and that's the way the Serbian cookie crumbles.
As a Kosovar Albanian, I long for the day when the democratic opposition in Serbia mobilizes and launches a second democratic revolution that will throw these into the dustbin of history, where they belong. Because, only then can we start talking about reconciliation between Serbs and Albanians.
This politics will only antagonize the Albanians, and if you will, worsen the situation of Kosovar Serbs. But maybe that's what they want.

What was the end result of this meeting pertaining to economical agreement? Why Mr. Rogozin reported that he did not threaten Nato? I told you Russian objectives, but you Serbs want make other belive in the things you do not believe yourself.

Princip,

If you read my post carefuly, you'll realise that I said that Kosovo is independent from SERBIA, and I didn't say that kosovo is independent from everyone.

It is true that Kosovo is dependent on EU and US, for years to come, however the population of Kosovo is happy with that. What matters to us is that we are independent from Serbia, and Serbia has no control on at least the albanian parts of Kosovo. I am not sure what will happen with the north, however the chances of Serbia establishing any kind of authority south of Iber are zero to none.

It takes decades to build a state, and we are willing to work for it, and if that means playing by EU rules for next decade or so, so be it.

Thaci said that Kosovo will get recognized by 100 states in a short period of time. Condsidering we are taking about a future of a country for decades and centuries to come, i think a week, a month, or even a year, is a short period of time to wait to get recognized by 100 states.

The number of states recognizing Kosovo keeps rising by the day.

Serbia had no chance of keeping Kosovo, before it got recognized by anyone as independent state - what do you think are the chances of re-gaining Kosovo now that it is recognized?

As the article goes: "Medvedev, likely to win"

Was there ever any other candidate except Putin's hand picked man?

(If my recollection is correct, the only other credible candidate, Kassianov was disqualified for... well for being another candidate)

ZK UK, are you kidding me?

Russia wants to grab Europe, with its energy power, and play with it like it did with Ukraine. Why do you think Romania and Bulgaria joint EU so immaturely? It was the Russian influence threat. Pipelines are projected to go through the Balkans and only those which go through the albanian lands are non-rusian bulid, and/or supplied. EU just approved both of them for financing in order to diversify its energy resources. Would you like to live in a Russian dominated world? I wouldn't.

donny,

ZK UK as a Serb would like to live in an Europe dominated by Russia and a Balkan dominated by Serbia. To each one his own dream.

Sorry ZK UK, but you can deny as much as you like but Serbia was very actively involved in the Bosnian was.
Not only did they move heavy weapons from Slovenia to Bosnia and duly handed them to the bosnian serbs they also suppled paramilitary units hhmm was Arkan a bosnian serb ? Also weekend fighters for a bit of extra cash in addition to their day job? Anyway, I think Serbia should hold a referendum on the question "
Would you sacrifice Serbia for Kosovo" if yes countinue the current course if not continue the economic reforms and stop the threats rhetoric.

Russia, they have to something after most of the world recognized or are in the way of recognizing the Independence of Republic of Kosovo. The USA and EU are more powerful factors in the world, this very important for Kosovo. We do not take care much about what Russia and Serbia are doing. We are more concentrated in working forward EU joining.
That’s why the internationals support us; we were right when we fight against a regime. It is very important that even the most powerful countries have understood who we are and who Serbians are. The independence of Kosovo is a great opportunity even for Serbians, because it opened the ways to stole and break and showing themselves (Serbians ) that are against democracy.

Medvedev: Here to prove Gazprom's support for Serbia more liked…
No news from Russia, same old fairy-tale...
Apart from Gas and a veto in UN, what does Russia offer to the civilized world?
And they maintain to be a superpower? Please spare the Hypocrisy!!!!!

I am glad to say that phase one of Coordinated Declaration of Independence is nearly finalized with success 100%.

What Serbian politics don’t need is Russian support. Serbian politics need to get rid of Kostunica and GO WEST just like Russia is doing.

Medvedev! He looks tiny, maybe 95lb. Nobody will get scared out of him.

Look who is talking about International law, ZK UK a Serb.
International Law definitely can be interpreted by any Serbs supporter. WHY?
World knows about breaking the International when Serbia attacked sovereign countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and than latter the province of Kosova.

Donny,

You are absolutely right with the European naivity. The Germans seem to be the most naive because they tend to believe that if the Russians start to blackmail they will be spared partially because of comrade Schroeder. They will have a rough avakening.

Princip, talks all the time about heaven, Serbian people as the people who belongs to the previous, and his desire to prevail the Russian politics. Because if Russians achieve to impose its hegemony like they did last century, the rest of the democratic part of the World will collectively make suicide. If you don’t trust me, then ask Polish, Bulgarians, Checks, Germans, Albanians, Estonians etc…
However it will never going to happen, but this time I am happy for our guy Princip, because in my prediction Princip will have a clear future since he lives in UK what means he will be living as a normal human being; i.e. work, eat , study etc in accordance with the highest World standards.

Joe,

What really bugs me is the naivity of many westeners here, who think that the Russian Energy Power and influence is friendly to them. US will build rocket batteries in northeast Europe to keep Russia away, but Russia is trying to snick in through the Balkans. Well Albanians are all that's left between Russia and Europe in the east. Doesnt these westeners here understand the Russian encirclement, and the power and threat that Russia imposes today over Europe? It beats me. And now Russia is trying to increase economic ties with Turkey, which Europe rejects.

All of sudden Serbs have become the ardent advocates of the other countries causes for freedom and independence, of course, except Kosova.
Unfortunately, Serbia has aligned itself as a country with strong anti-Western roots. Serbia will never gain respect in the Western world with this attitude. It saddening to see the destruction of the serbian youth with this kind of filth. Threating the free speech, free will, free press, free decision for a better life in the name of some obscurity of nationalism. It will always be seen as a country which it embraces easily nationalism, radicalism and obscure hegemonic and isolationist chauvinism.

This what Serbs don't understand: and their "ally" Russia understands:

The United States has only one loyal ally in the Balkans. An eternal ally. That's Albanians. Croats and Slovenians rebuffed the US policies a lot of times. Proved to not be reliable allies. Bosnia, the US decided to build a huge Air Force Base in Tusla, BiH. The Military Base, BondSteel in the vicinity of Ferizaj, Kosova is the strongest argument that shows Russia will never be able to influence the Balkans. Only the strong presence of the United States in Balkans will be able to conquer anti-western radicals and obscure nationalists. The only nation that is able to provide that logistic support to he United States, is Albanian. The Albanian and American Nation are becoming like two inseparable heads of the same eagle.
Today, Holbrook said: "Serbia does not believe in suicide, I hope not!"

WWIII, means China and Indian keeping neutral. Russia cannot afford a WW3, because the loser is the one who will get split up into small or tiny slices. The number of countries would be from 198 to 338....
Russia cannot afford a such battle. !!!!
Serbs are being used. Today, Serbs were burning the portrait of the Serbian president, Tadic.Kissing the pictures of Putin, instead!!!

Countries that don't support my independence don't have economies. Their GDP is less than $400 per year.

Europe, Industrial Nations recognize my sovereignty. In 5 years, Kosova is expected to be invited to join NATO -----Clark was quoted. Surely, before Serbia and perhaps, Macedonia- Greece seem to not give up!.....
We will have a veto on it. If Serbia wants to join EU or NATO, they will have to recognize our independence. The economy of Serbia will be crippled by being the outsider because Serbia has no minerals, its economy is mainly based on agriculture, textile and a few non very significant factories such as Zastava.
The US will help Kosova become a strong country. Economically, militarily and politically! Mark my words. This is Europe and this issue matters.

The Americans control the most strategic area of Kosova.

@Will
@ other creative interpretors and creators of "international" US precedent law

Get your self informed before you try to discuss something, even if there was no r. 1244, the US has ripped up every contract that it has ever signed.
Did someone force the US to sign all these contracts?

Donny,

Do you really think that a averege person on this planet thinks that the US gouverment has never violated human rights ever?
I really do not have time to make a list here, but if you put your self on one side (NATO), dont discredit your self in this disscusion by using the argument that the US is an ultimate planetary defender of human rights!Could you show at least some feeling for those people that are currently suffering on this planet because of the US, putting aside the intrests of the US and NATO?Before u speak against the Serbs u could look at the mirror first.

What strikes me viewing the Medvedev-Kostunica photo is the extremely gloomy face of Vojo. Why?
Now that an important friend arrived he s/b all smiles and happy.

ZK UK,

Very simple. I day time when you are awake you have to use "dominate" in past tense because your domination is fotunately over. Slovenes, Croates, Bosnians, K-Albanians are all free now.

where in 1244 does it guarantee Serbian sovereignity of Kosovo without the word "interim" in the same sentence? If you read it, whole 1244 is about interim situation in Kosovo. Alot of people are commenting about 1244 without reading it.

I don't know why Albanians waste their time here arguing with the Serbs about their crimes. The Serbs deny them, and they are in this position that they are in today. No support but the Russians and only for their own special interests.

Serbia got bombed by NATO. Serbia lost Kosovo and all the Balkan wars it waged. It's over. Sadly, future generations of Serbia are influence by this nasty propaganda.

Wake up friends. It is not the 19th century. Russia's ideals collapsed with the Soviet Union and it screams for attention. Today they are just like any other country - looking to make some money.

Once the Serbian noisemaking subsides the voice of reason will be heard again. There are states waiting for this hysteria to stop so that they can recognize Kosovo. Here is why: Kosovar leadership is working to reach out to the K. Serbs. And here is why he does it: freedom makes us so happy that we don't mind living together! The question Serbia needs to ask is, when did its government even try to reach out to the Kosovar Albanians, even after the atrocities.

p.s. if Serbia's argument is that K. Albanians and K. Serbs cannot leave together in an independent state that is neither Albania nor Serbia, than it cannot expect the two sides to co-exist as neighbouring states either. I hope that the voice of reason and common sense will prevail.

Jan, Europe and US are the west, they are natural allies, same people same culture and world point of view, and they lead this world. But Europe is an old prostitute it can not lead within this block, thus it needs US to make the tough choices. Europe likes to flirt, until it finds itself in a mess, and hopeless until US comes back and rescues it. No, Europe does not need US to devide it, division it's a state of being in Europe.

But Europe has come to terms with the reality finally, and understands that it doesnt want to be the next Ukraine, thus played by the Russians. Yes Russians are in the energy business, that doesnt mean that the EU should bend over. Is it me who is naive or you who believe that Russia is really protecting the international law? So no matter how many Albanians are slaughtered by the Serbian state, international law must not be broken (if it is at all). What should Serbia do to loose Kosovo under the international law, that it has not done already?

Maybe you should take a look at the pipelines Russia is trying to build through the Balkans. Do you want the Russians to controll all of those, by controlling the region? And in the future when Russia does what it wants and breaks the international law as it pleases, you will either freeze to death or - again - shut up and bend over. Albania does not stand to Russia directly, of course it's too small of a country, but through the wetsern interest present in there, since traditionally Albanians have been anti-sllavic.When Albania was under the Russian influence in the 1950s the eastern block had one of the largest military bases there, controling the Adriatic and Mediterannean sea, a direct threat to the west. So beware of what you wish for.

Yes mr Medvedev to day is the fredom speech, but when it comes to KOSOVO matter the only think russia can do holding the veto thats all nothing else and nothing more but you can enjoy the broken dream's together whith you countpart serbia..

Because if Russians achieve to impose its hegemony like they did last century, the rest of the democratic part of the World will collectively make suicide. If you don’t trust me, then ask Polish, Bulgarians, Checks, Germans, Albanians, Estonians etc…
However it will never going to happen, but this time I am happy for our guy Princip, because in my prediction Princip will have a clear future since he lives in UK what means he will be living as a normal human being; i.e. work, eat , study etc in accordance with the highest World standards.

I am glad to say that phase one of Coordinated Declaration of Independence is nearly finalized with success 100%.

What Serbian politics don’t need is Russian support. Serbian politics need to get rid of Kostunica and GO WEST just like Russia is doing.

ZK UK, are you kidding me?

Russia wants to grab Europe, with its energy power, and play with it like it did with Ukraine. Why do you think Romania and Bulgaria joint EU so immaturely? It was the Russian influence threat. Pipelines are projected to go through the Balkans and only those which go through the albanian lands are non-rusian bulid, and/or supplied. EU just approved both of them for financing in order to diversify its energy resources. Would you like to live in a Russian dominated world? I wouldn't.

donny,

ZK UK as a Serb would like to live in an Europe dominated by Russia and a Balkan dominated by Serbia. To each one his own dream.

Look who is talking about International law, ZK UK a Serb.
International Law definitely can be interpreted by any Serbs supporter. WHY?
World knows about breaking the International when Serbia attacked sovereign countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and than latter the province of Kosova.

Sorry ZK UK, but you can deny as much as you like but Serbia was very actively involved in the Bosnian was.
Not only did they move heavy weapons from Slovenia to Bosnia and duly handed them to the bosnian serbs they also suppled paramilitary units hhmm was Arkan a bosnian serb ? Also weekend fighters for a bit of extra cash in addition to their day job? Anyway, I think Serbia should hold a referendum on the question "
Would you sacrifice Serbia for Kosovo" if yes countinue the current course if not continue the economic reforms and stop the threats rhetoric.

All of sudden Serbs have become the ardent advocates of the other countries causes for freedom and independence, of course, except Kosova.
Unfortunately, Serbia has aligned itself as a country with strong anti-Western roots. Serbia will never gain respect in the Western world with this attitude. It saddening to see the destruction of the serbian youth with this kind of filth. Threating the free speech, free will, free press, free decision for a better life in the name of some obscurity of nationalism. It will always be seen as a country which it embraces easily nationalism, radicalism and obscure hegemonic and isolationist chauvinism.

This what Serbs don't understand: and their "ally" Russia understands:

The United States has only one loyal ally in the Balkans. An eternal ally. That's Albanians. Croats and Slovenians rebuffed the US policies a lot of times. Proved to not be reliable allies. Bosnia, the US decided to build a huge Air Force Base in Tusla, BiH. The Military Base, BondSteel in the vicinity of Ferizaj, Kosova is the strongest argument that shows Russia will never be able to influence the Balkans. Only the strong presence of the United States in Balkans will be able to conquer anti-western radicals and obscure nationalists. The only nation that is able to provide that logistic support to he United States, is Albanian. The Albanian and American Nation are becoming like two inseparable heads of the same eagle.
Today, Holbrook said: "Serbia does not believe in suicide, I hope not!"

WWIII, means China and Indian keeping neutral. Russia cannot afford a WW3, because the loser is the one who will get split up into small or tiny slices. The number of countries would be from 198 to 338....
Russia cannot afford a such battle. !!!!
Serbs are being used. Today, Serbs were burning the portrait of the Serbian president, Tadic.Kissing the pictures of Putin, instead!!!

Countries that don't support my independence don't have economies. Their GDP is less than $400 per year.

Europe, Industrial Nations recognize my sovereignty. In 5 years, Kosova is expected to be invited to join NATO -----Clark was quoted. Surely, before Serbia and perhaps, Macedonia- Greece seem to not give up!.....
We will have a veto on it. If Serbia wants to join EU or NATO, they will have to recognize our independence. The economy of Serbia will be crippled by being the outsider because Serbia has no minerals, its economy is mainly based on agriculture, textile and a few non very significant factories such as Zastava.
The US will help Kosova become a strong country. Economically, militarily and politically! Mark my words. This is Europe and this issue matters.

The Americans control the most strategic area of Kosova.

ZK UK,

Very simple. I day time when you are awake you have to use "dominate" in past tense because your domination is fotunately over. Slovenes, Croates, Bosnians, K-Albanians are all free now.

Donny,

You are absolutely right with the European naivity. The Germans seem to be the most naive because they tend to believe that if the Russians start to blackmail they will be spared partially because of comrade Schroeder. They will have a rough avakening.

What strikes me viewing the Medvedev-Kostunica photo is the extremely gloomy face of Vojo. Why?
Now that an important friend arrived he s/b all smiles and happy.

As the article goes: "Medvedev, likely to win"

Was there ever any other candidate except Putin's hand picked man?

(If my recollection is correct, the only other credible candidate, Kassianov was disqualified for... well for being another candidate)

Medvedev! He looks tiny, maybe 95lb. Nobody will get scared out of him.

Jan, Europe and US are the west, they are natural allies, same people same culture and world point of view, and they lead this world. But Europe is an old prostitute it can not lead within this block, thus it needs US to make the tough choices. Europe likes to flirt, until it finds itself in a mess, and hopeless until US comes back and rescues it. No, Europe does not need US to devide it, division it's a state of being in Europe.

But Europe has come to terms with the reality finally, and understands that it doesnt want to be the next Ukraine, thus played by the Russians. Yes Russians are in the energy business, that doesnt mean that the EU should bend over. Is it me who is naive or you who believe that Russia is really protecting the international law? So no matter how many Albanians are slaughtered by the Serbian state, international law must not be broken (if it is at all). What should Serbia do to loose Kosovo under the international law, that it has not done already?

Maybe you should take a look at the pipelines Russia is trying to build through the Balkans. Do you want the Russians to controll all of those, by controlling the region? And in the future when Russia does what it wants and breaks the international law as it pleases, you will either freeze to death or - again - shut up and bend over. Albania does not stand to Russia directly, of course it's too small of a country, but through the wetsern interest present in there, since traditionally Albanians have been anti-sllavic.When Albania was under the Russian influence in the 1950s the eastern block had one of the largest military bases there, controling the Adriatic and Mediterannean sea, a direct threat to the west. So beware of what you wish for.

That's the way the Russian bear grumbles and that's the way the Serbian cookie crumbles.
As a Kosovar Albanian, I long for the day when the democratic opposition in Serbia mobilizes and launches a second democratic revolution that will throw these into the dustbin of history, where they belong. Because, only then can we start talking about reconciliation between Serbs and Albanians.
This politics will only antagonize the Albanians, and if you will, worsen the situation of Kosovar Serbs. But maybe that's what they want.

Joe,

What really bugs me is the naivity of many westeners here, who think that the Russian Energy Power and influence is friendly to them. US will build rocket batteries in northeast Europe to keep Russia away, but Russia is trying to snick in through the Balkans. Well Albanians are all that's left between Russia and Europe in the east. Doesnt these westeners here understand the Russian encirclement, and the power and threat that Russia imposes today over Europe? It beats me. And now Russia is trying to increase economic ties with Turkey, which Europe rejects.

Once the Serbian noisemaking subsides the voice of reason will be heard again. There are states waiting for this hysteria to stop so that they can recognize Kosovo. Here is why: Kosovar leadership is working to reach out to the K. Serbs. And here is why he does it: freedom makes us so happy that we don't mind living together! The question Serbia needs to ask is, when did its government even try to reach out to the Kosovar Albanians, even after the atrocities.

p.s. if Serbia's argument is that K. Albanians and K. Serbs cannot leave together in an independent state that is neither Albania nor Serbia, than it cannot expect the two sides to co-exist as neighbouring states either. I hope that the voice of reason and common sense will prevail.

What are you posting here? What? You are saying about russian interest in the Balkans and even Serbaia. Come on people! What the Russia does is only protecting international law. Ones this law was abused and all europe was on the knees under hitler. You prefer to make strong critics to recognize the simple thing. You prefer changes to stability. You want the war? In this way of comments you will get it! You want to be on your knees again? You will be. You claim the Russia is a tyranny??? Possibly to claim ussr but not Russia. If this day international law was abused, next day it will be abused in your house.

where in 1244 does it guarantee Serbian sovereignity of Kosovo without the word "interim" in the same sentence? If you read it, whole 1244 is about interim situation in Kosovo. Alot of people are commenting about 1244 without reading it.

I don't know why Albanians waste their time here arguing with the Serbs about their crimes. The Serbs deny them, and they are in this position that they are in today. No support but the Russians and only for their own special interests.

Serbia got bombed by NATO. Serbia lost Kosovo and all the Balkan wars it waged. It's over. Sadly, future generations of Serbia are influence by this nasty propaganda.

this is medvedev on a trip to personally meet what will be his top allies in europe when he takes over

The US & 'few' EU have totally miscalculated and failed to fully understand the reality of their illegal actions. But then again what else should one expect when the US spearheads EU foreign policy while suggesting they know what is best given? One need not look further then the calamity they have caused in Iraq to comprehend the complete opposite is likely to occur!

What has happened to the lie of 100 countries will immediatly follow the illegal folly? Ah but then some are very prone to telling porkies as exemplified by polar bears in Sar planina!!!

What is clear is that Status itself is in a even greater state of limbo and instability has risen and will continue to do so!

I thought the US said Status Quo was untenable and they wanted stability?

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Wake up friends. It is not the 19th century. Russia's ideals collapsed with the Soviet Union and it screams for attention. Today they are just like any other country - looking to make some money.

Mr.Medvedev to head the Russian delegation is a good sign and moral support for the Serbs. He needs just one week to be elected and then Russia will activate it's Serbian politics. Failure in this direction will lower the Russian papers around the world so we are strongly motivated to gain results in Serbian crisis.

Well, if nothing else, we certainly live in interesting times.

Is quite possible US/UK/German bloc may actually have done Serbia a favour by pushing it into the Russian sphere of influence. Instead of being one country amongst many, have now moved into 'most favoured status' with Russia. And given Serbia's central position in the balkans, will in future give Serbia leverage vis-a-vie 'the west.'


Arben:

Seems to me that it's NATO who's the belligerent one making belicose threats.

And the fact that Medvedev has made a personal visit one week before the Russian elections speaks volumes - No UN recognition for the 'self-styled independent' Kosovo, & baring a change to the EU constitution, no membership into the EU.

Enjoy.

Apart from Gas and a veto in UN, what does Russia offer to the civilized world?
--

How about the rule of International law? That's obviously something the Albanians have difficulties grappling!

Now, apart from huge bombs dropped on innocent civilians and an illegal quasi entity, what does the US offer the world?

Nikshala,

"Kosovo got recognized by almost 20 countries in the first week! "

- you were told 100+ would immediatly recognise;

"Thaci, who was speaking on Friday, said that “there will be a powerful, massive and consolidated recognition”."
http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/news/7791/
- the reality is hardly powerful nor massive but is certainly consolidation of limbo!

I very much doubt the ethnic-Albanians have a clear perspective of the realities given that they actually believe they have independence - this was just an illegal declaration of DEPENDENCE - not even illegal Independence!!! Of course you can continue to belive in illegal 'Independence' [sic] just as some believe in the existance of polar bears in the Sar Planina!

Welcome to the world of Frozen conflicts a new addition - kosova! In the meanwhile Serbia will quietly get on with promotion of Serbian institutions across its sovereign province Kosovo & Metohija while the EU INLEX (lawless) mission keeps tabs on criminality with its judicial and policing in the areas required!

Oh what a tangled web we weave and how some are so easily deceived...

to niklshala:

"There is a lot a lot of work to be done, but finaly the Kosovan people have a clear perspective."

Are talking about the 60% unnemlpyed people in KiM? Are you aware of the size of that unnemployment figure? You can just keep dreaming about those billion dollar investments.

By the way nikshala, I am curious, can you tell me why albanian terrorists tried to blow up for dix in america? So you see this ILLEGAL LAND THEFT BY AMERICA has nothing to do with americans "loving" albanians.

"What strikes me viewing the Medvedev-Kostunica photo is the extremely gloomy face of Vojo”

Ah, viewing life through the eyes of a curmudgeon.

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

Your gloomy interpretation of Mr. Kostunica's facial expression says more about your chronically negative attitude then it does about the reality of the photo.

John,

"Medvedev! He looks tiny, maybe 95lb. Nobody will get scared out of him."

John, you need to imagine him with one hand on the lever which controls gas-flow to Europe, and another hand on the button which controls Russia's nuclear arsenal.

And if going gets rough, he can always ask Putin to teach him some of his Judo mind-tricks...

Doesn't that send cold shivers down your spine?

To all the K-albanian posters

Can anyone of you explain to me two things:

- How come that nobody or just a few % of your eldorado expatriates have no intention to return to your region? Do they know something we all don't?
- France was trying to sent back some refugees k-albanian families, but they were denied by Kosovo, interesting, no?

What hope do you have when you can't even get the facts right? It was the Serbians who lived in Croatia and Bosnia fighting for their freedom. Serbia was not directly involved in any of those conflicts, apart from political support and negotiations through the international community.

Also, Serbia attacked Slovenia? How could that be when it was the Yugoslav army that entered and the president at that time was none other then Mesic (a Croatian)!

I suppose the truth hurts!

It looks like the Kosovo Albanians are very active today posting their usual comments. I can sense a false feeling of confidence since their illegal UDI and all the recognitions. It is very obvious that the rest of the world has turned to its business as usual and so the outlook is not all to rosy. Mock Russia how much you can, but in the end you will be in for a ice-cold shower. With a splitted EU and UN the position of your US masters is becoming weaker and weaker (like the $). Their constant lying has undermined their position so much that few take them seriously any more. Serbia is not looking for a war, but in case needed I am sure that the Serbian army will come to the rescue of Kosovo Serbs and 16000 NATO troops is not that many. In addition, this time NATO will not dare to bomb Serbia like in 1999, I am sure that Russia will make that happen.
Also take a look what may happen to Musharaf in Pakistan: one day he is the US "biggest" ally and now they want to get rid of him. Maybe Thaci should call him and ask for advice how to avoid this (in the end he cannot).

(Olf, 25 February 2008 17:32)

Clarification, it was Ante Markovic , former VP of Yugoslavia who sent to seal the borders in Slovenia in the early nineties, not the republic of Serbia at the time.

It was both Croatia and Boznia Herzegovina who surrounded JNA (Jugoslav National Army) barracks.

The KLA launched terrorist activites against both the JNA and Serbia police which prompted the Serbian MUP and military to secure Kosovo and Metohojia.

Facts cannot be contradicted.

I felt that this was a great show of support from a man who is obviously very busy and will soon be President.

I have problems with Russia's democratic structure, but at least they are willing to make their arguments in accordance with international law and I side with them completely with regard to Kosovo.

I am writing a thesis in Ireland on Balkan stability so if you would like to give me your view, please email at adamflynn1@hotmail.com - thanks.

TO: Burim Blakaj,25 February

I don't know what international support you are dreaming of! Forget that and be more realistic ! Better concentrate on the traffic ... and do not talk of what you have no idea.

Even the islamic world rejects your puppet zone. How can they accept you an islamic nation when only few pray even the first SURA (bismilla-hi raman ur-rahim or la illahi illa la ua Mohammad-ul-rasul-ul-ulla) but everybody openly drinks wine and beer ... You are Turkish type of Muslims i.e. half muslim while Russia is by the way a member of the Islamic Conference Organisation.

So next time before you say something against Russia and Serbia just have a look at yourself if you have a mirror of course. BY now 93% of the world supports Serbia and 7% support the Snake.

Nikshala, Olf

Why can't you guys be honest?
As things stand 17 countries have recognised Kosovo independence. There are not "70" more promises out there. Phase one will proceed forward to phase one-and-a-half and then it will all stop dead. Total? Around 30-40 max, plus a few stragglers after the Yanks ger around to intimidating them. Not exactly a global endorsement.

Kosovo will be a unique entity - partitioned at the Ibar, recognised by a quarter of the world, ignored by most of the rest and kept afloat in the short term by 20,000 foreign troops and donations from its supporters.

It need not have been that way. But you've made your bed, now lie in it.

Donny, I assume that you are an American based on your comments. I think you are very naive yourself. Nobody expects Russia to be friendly and energy is one of their main businesses these days and they have every right to defend their income and investments (it is not their fault that Europe is energy addicted). I thought that GW Bush and the US claimed that the radar and missle sites in Poland and the Czech Republic were meant to intercept non-existing missles from states like Iran and North Korea, but now you give us a different insight. If you are right I can understand that Russia is willing to flex its muscles. The US is doing all this to divide Europe and a lot of Europeans are sick of that just like they are sick of their politicians following the US so blindly. Russia considers The Balkans as its traditional sphere of influence and they are not too happy that the EU and the US/NATO are trying to establish their influence. Maybe you should educate yourself and see on any recent world map that Russia and Albania do not bother (so how can the latter country stand in between Russia and the West). I think Russia is feeling some kind of encirclement with NATO getting closer and closer. Anyway, they have nuclear weapons and so NATO would think twice to do anything stupid. Why does NATO not put missles in Kosovo? Maybe they are already there (at least it is closer to Iran). I am not sure if Russia tries to increase its economics ties with Europe. That is their good right just like it is Europe's good right that a majority of Europeans do not want Turkey in the EU. I hope things are more clear for you now.

Princip is quite right, I agree...some are really incredibly easy to deceive...

and Tom from Ireland has put it right: they had the chance for autonomy, now they will have to be "happy" with less than autonomy... but, I am fine with that, as long it is UNSC 1244 being quite clear on the question of sovereignty. so, for a certain period of time there is a foreign occupation, but that will end. and the US will fade away from the Balkans... while Serbia will still be there! and like Peter has said it:
Serbia is just about to start developing.

LOL yes Genti Serbia is shaking to the likes of mighty Kosovo.... BAHAHAHA! Lord, if Albanians really think like you Serbia doesn't have to do much to regain Kosovo.

Joe,
you are wrong the Serbs, we are finally free. We carried the Croats, Bosnians, Albanians after each major war they lost. WWI, WWII, only the Serbs and Serbs in Montenegro were on the side of justice. WE ARE FREE NOW! Finally, the most special and meaningful anthem "God of Justice" plays loudly and the flag flies over Serbia, God has restored Serbia from it's "brothers." Serbs are free. And remember one thing, huge civilizations, EMPIRES, have come and tried to crush the Serbian faith and spirit, each one has LOST. Turks, AustoHungarians, Nazi's, and now it is the West's time to lose. It is only a matter of time, KNOW IT.
Orange County, California,
WE LOVE SERBIA! WE KNOW THE TRUTH!

to my fellow serbs - kosovo was alreadylost back in tito's era.

to the albanians - congratulations you now have a country that is not economically viable, a country with no tourism and a country whose only purpose is to serve the new world order in order for it to have enormous bases in the region.

That's what this is all about, NATO's intention of spreading around the world with it's spearhead being the United States. Despite the extreme difficulty of preventing this because it has already been happening for decades, I am proud of my fellow Serbs for saying "NO" to Kosovo independece and showing what a fine people we are, with dignity and pride and above all the TRUTH on our side.

To the "Kosovars" good luck with your 85% portion of Kosovo, you're definately going to need it.

PEACE.

What will happen in the future we will still see, one thing is definate the unauthorized „creative interpretaion“ of international law by the US will not be a “unique case”.
If the UN assembly does not recognize Kosovo, it will exist like Taiwan, some countries will recognize it some not.
Only the UN is authorized to interpret its own acts in cases where some kind of dilemma exists and creating new regulations is a process goes thru the institutions of the UN (members sign and ratify the changes-multilateral contracts).
Someone arrogant will say well the rest of the world is not important, well the rest of the world are members of the UN and have also their say about this (one vote-one country, democratic), or are they not worthy to have their say?

p.s.

By the way Spain, Romania, Greece, Slovakia have just blocked Kosovo into entering the EU forever, since all EU members have to approve a new member.
Even if they wanted to recognize Kosovo, they can not do it and the first reason is not love for sure.

@Will
@ other creative interpretors and creators of "international" US precedent law

Get your self informed before you try to discuss something, even if there was no r. 1244, the US has ripped up every contract that it has ever signed.
Did someone force the US to sign all these contracts?

Donny,

Do you really think that a averege person on this planet thinks that the US gouverment has never violated human rights ever?
I really do not have time to make a list here, but if you put your self on one side (NATO), dont discredit your self in this disscusion by using the argument that the US is an ultimate planetary defender of human rights!Could you show at least some feeling for those people that are currently suffering on this planet because of the US, putting aside the intrests of the US and NATO?Before u speak against the Serbs u could look at the mirror first.

Yes mr Medvedev to day is the fredom speech, but when it comes to KOSOVO matter the only think russia can do holding the veto thats all nothing else and nothing more but you can enjoy the broken dream's together whith you countpart serbia..
