If the K-Albanians on this posting board are so dead against mr. Samardzic's comments, than I think Serbia is doing the good thing by supporting DSS and SRS. Any other way Serbia will just please the albanians.
Mr. "someone wanted war" must say this - because he is DSS. The truth is: it is a fairytale, that Serbia may enter the EU with Kosovo a hostage - like DSS wants.
But now Serbia is right in the middle of elections and Samardzic is the DSS figure, who has to prevent, that nationalistic DSS-voters are running over to the radicals. That's is his job, therefore he does not care on the international image or perspectives of Serbia anymore. He is working only for DSS election campaign.
Dragan I feel your pain. The disrespect, savagery, and double standards shown to Serbs over the last 17 years infuriate me as well. Once more, Serbian pride, dignity, and honor has not stopped any of that from happening.
However, we can choose to be angry or we can choose to be smart and angry. Do not let the bitterness grind Serbia down.
Also, I don't think it's wise to make decisions about Serbia's future by listening to the reactions of Albanians.
"No thanks. Serbs will only join organization where they are treated as equals. Part of being a Serb is that honour, dignity, and pride are above all else - such as money, and prosperity. THAT, my friend is the difference between Serbs and the rest, and THAT is why some of these immoral imperialists want to destroy Serbia."
Do you really think that the outside world cares that much about Serbia?
Seriously. Yugoslavia was a middle power of note, with a well-off population, a tradition of relatively good government, and a strongish economy that might have made the SFRY the next Poland or even the next Spain.
Serbia? It's the largest ex-component, true, but it's also much poorer than the two westernmost republics or any of the other accession states, has a small domestic market, and an unstable political climate that threatens the viability of foreign investments.
Serbia can be a bother for the neighbourhood, and in an age when businesses like to squeeze out profit everywhere they can its continuing lag that sort of thing a shame. Serbian claims to innate "honour, dignity, and pride," never mind these values' not being well-demonstrated by the Serbian state over the past two decades, just don't matter.
Everyone of us, be he Albanian, Serbian or other know that the European Union is not interested in treating Serbia as an Equal. The great powers neither love us nor hate us, their interests are strictly plutocratic.
The people in Russia who love Serbs do not make foreign policy and the people in Europe who feel sympathy for Albanians also do not make foreign policy. The people who make foreign policy answer to big business and as long as Serbia is open for business, the european union will deal with Serbia
Unlike the 1990s Serbia is not about to be victimized by sanctions and embargos, there is to much foreign money invested, or that is to be invested.
Serbs are now free to choose between leadership which will continue to beg at Europe's tableside or the serbian voters can try another approach.
No matter who forms the next Government, Serbia will not be isolated and every thinking person should know this.
Samardzic is absolutely correct. The fact that all the albanians on here dislike him and are pleading with Serbs not to elect him tells me that he is doing a fantastic job. Yes the albanians would love for Serbs to have a puppet leader, a pawn of the west, in power. That's not going to happen, and Kosovo is Serbia!
Nicholas Klinsman,
We Serbs are already in Europe, we defended Europe and were the guardians of the gate from the islamic hordes. Since Europe (lead by Germany) does not seem to show any respect to Serbia, to her territorial integrity, and imposes ridiculous double standards such as giving every group in ex-Yugoslavia the right to self determination except to Serbs themselves, why in God's name would any sane Serb want to join such a club? No thanks. Serbs will only join organization where they are treated as equals. Part of being a Serb is that honour, dignity, and pride are above all else - such as money, and prosperity. THAT, my friend is the difference between Serbs and the rest, and THAT is why some of these immoral imperialists want to destroy Serbia.
Boriska,
Perfect - I could not have said it better myself.
Finally, a realistic estimate of all this demagoguery about Serbia's chances to join EU. This is not even a carrot in front of the donkey's nose, only a picture of it. Like promising to the raped woman that if she continues to give in to demands of a rapist he might marry her one day. It could be even funny if it wasn't so sad. No wonder, Samardzic is so quickly dismissed by Albanians here...
Listen, look at Russian version of Tadic - Boris Eltsin. He also was the bigget friend of "Western democracies" , much loved and supported in the West - and also promised to bring Russians prosperity in family of "European democracies". And what did it bring to Russia other than poverty, destruction, looting by foreign investors and total subservience to Western interests, to the detriment of Russia's own. So is "democrat" Tadic - on EU payroll, not on Serbia's one. Can you guys ever learn form other people's mistakes ?
In response to Mr. Samardzic, I would ask do you think Kosovo would be better defended if Serbia was not in the European Union? The answer is no. If you don't think being in the EU and NATO has clout just look at what Greece is doing to Macedonia simply over it's name.
I too am disgusted by the E.U, Albanian, and NATO treatment of Serbs in Kosovo. But, Serbs have to think of the overall well being of their people. If Serbs think that being in the E.U. is such a bad thing than why are all the other countries in the neighborhood trying to get in?
Personally, I hope Serbs join the Union sooner rather than later. Between Kosovo, the Hague, and economic stringency I realize that won't be easy. However, I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.
For one Serbs will in the practical sense be able to live in one land again including Lika, Dalmatia, Kordun, Banija, Bosnian Krajina, Romanija, Posavina, Semberija, Hercegovina, Raska, Sumadija, Vojvodina, Beograd, and Kosovo.
It's easy for Samardzic to say Serbia will not be qualified for the E.U in more than 10 years. I'm sure that's true if we elect his party to power, but I want a leader who says I'm going to make it happen.
hey smart serbs. dont follow this guy. wake up and join hands with a new state that is willing to forgive the past their misfortune at your hands. Be neighboors and we will all be happy
Are Serbs putting their fate in this guys hands? Are Serbs really sure that Mr. Samardzic can do more for Serbia than Mr. Tadic? Can one really tell what kind of "visionary" this Samardzic is?
So talking nonsense and having a big mouth puts you high in Serbian Political agenda these days.
Pity!
Serbia does have smart people that can take Serbia forward, however it seems that radicalism seems to prevail.
What a waste of intellect must have Tadic been if Serbia will rather listen to you Mr. Samardzic.
