KPS calls on Serbs to return

Tom

There are similarities to Ireland!

"the UNMIK chief stated that his mission would not rescind the unilateral declaration of independence act taken by the Kosovo parliament on February 17."

UNMIK (and NATO) are not neutral when it makes comments like that. They are obviously favouring the Albanians and attempting to integrate Serbs into Albanian institutions.

It is doomed to failure. Nothing more can be said.

That is why they need Serbs, to create some fake so called multi-ethnic society and present it to the world as some success. Serbs should never accept Albanian rule and should peacefully boycott Albanian institutions.

Had Serbs accepted Albanian institutions they would legitimate Kosovo “uniqueness” and the EU and USA could use it as a farce presenting that Serbs actually agree and accept new state in its territory. The new disputable cases are opening every day based on Kosovo precedent and the USA is trying to explain to each of these cases that Kosovo is sui generis case without actually giving an explanation what is the unique in Kosovo case. USA is trying to undermine the entire world by swaying and preaching about some uniqueness.

Serbs would shoot themselves in the foot if they have accepted integration and by that they would extremely help to USA and EU.

And Serbians are saying-thank you, but no thank you.
We would never work for occupiers and terrorist governments.

So you heardedfrom horses mouth yesterday in Mitrovica tellling Serbs that UNMIK will not rescind the declaration of Indepndence. Now what???

What if it's not fake??

What if they really want to create a multi ethnic society??

What Ruecker actually told the students was that:
"his mission would not rescind the unilateral declaration of independence act taken by the Kosovo parliament on February 17".

Note the world 'unilateral' that Ahmet left out in his post :)

Ruecker's statement is of course in line with the UN's stance on the issue of K-albanian UDI - which is that the UN does not recognise K-albanian UDI.

Nothing has changed.


D.Laci:

I simply refer you to the immediate past. Serbs have not been a threat to K-albanians for the past 8 years - yet the enclaves still have to be enclosed with 'barbed wire' & serbs still need armed escorts in K-albanian areas.

For instance, Zadušnice was on Saturday. It's a day on which serbs pay their respects to their dead. Those serbs that went to cemetaries in K-albanian areas had to go under armed escort. And when they got there, they found the graves of their kin desecrated afresh. Happens every time.

While the K-albanian administration in Pristina may say that they want to create a multi-ethnic society in Kosovo to bolster their chances of recognition, given that their prime minister & many members of said administration were former members of the KLA, & given the current & past climate, then there is no reason the serbs in Kosovo should believe them.

The fact is that just because their constitution says minorities are protected, this doesn't translate into reality - both in their judicial system which has an exceedingly poor track record of dealing with violence against minorities, & in the general sentiment of their population, in the eyes of which, the serbs are the 'bad guys'. Hence the barbed wire, escorts, attacks, killings & acts of desecration.


KS:

If such is indeed the case.. why aren't the serbian ex-KPS officers telling us this directly, rather than through K-albanian intermediaries. Perhaps they fear retaliation? Or perhaps this is simply more 'spin' coming from K-albanian propaganda dept - the same people who tell us minorities in Kosovo will be protected. Depends on who you believe doesn't it.

Bmrusila you and your government are using double standards.
Under the "less than...more than.." plan these Kosovar-Serbs who have to live under "Albanian rule" as you say. In whatever the outcome these people have to live under "Albanian rule" --- forcing, pressuring, and threatening these people for your own agenda my friend is double standards.

By the way, B92 is reporting biased news once again, those 2 police officers wrote to the UNMIK officials saying that they are being THREATENED, and their family not to go to work---but sure I guess "pressured" means the same thing.

If UNMIK support the UDI they are not supporting the 'political settlement' mentioned in 1244. They are therefore acting illegally and become 'the enemy' - not because Serbia says so, but because they are abusing international law. The political settlement mentioned in 1244 should not be hampered unnecessarily by Serbia, but neither should it be imposed by the whims of remote states.

In my view, the UDI is meaningless. Serbia has to be involved in the process, and will have to agree to substantial autonomy even if it does not like it. However, having fulfilled its obligations under 1244, in my view Serbia is now free of its restraints and has more right to act to protect its territorial integrity than NATO does to 'keep the peace'.

f you do not believe me, read 1244 more carefully.

thank you KS -- actually "pressured" and "threatened" do NOT mean the same thing. pressure could involve any number of factors or range of means, whereas THREATENED implies force. i wonder who is threatening them (duh...) as i've written, this is a repeat of an old film -- we've seen it all before, we know the script by heart, and yet we are forced to watch it, yet again, in slow motion. once again, thank you KS -- keep us ALL informed (i never separate people by ethnicity, it is bizarre!) and keep b92 honest!
