Thaci opposes Russian aid to Kosovo Serbs

Russia doesn't recognize your existence nor legitimacy.

K Serbs don't recognize your existence nor legitimacy.

UNMIK isn't allowed to recognize your existence nor legitimacy in matters such as this.

So slither back under your rock Hashim.

Of course Thaci wants aid to come through him first. How else would he take his cut?

Thaci can oppose anything he wants, fact of the mather is that it's not his decision, it's UNMIK's decision.

Thaci will now have to face the fact that not he is in charge in Kosovo, but UNMIK is in charge.

And UNMIK has to answer to the SC, so ultimatly the Russian's have more authority in Kosovo (thru UNMIK) than Thaci has.

"Thaci opposes Russian aid to Kosovo Serbs"

As a young woman named Mandy Rice-Davies once said in a very different context:
"Well, he would, wouldn't he?"

It appears that Mr Laci is turning into a Dictator. Who really care what this puppet says, he has nothing to do with Serbians. Mr Putin should air drop a humantarian package to Thaci as well. If Thaci was a great leader he would provide the humanitarian necessities to the masses. So far Thaci has been a terrible negotiator.

April fools is coming very soon!

Instead of opposing everything that is said and done by Russia I would strongly advice Thaci in the following:

Instead of asking that all the needed help for the Serbs in Kosovo goes via Pristina, why aren't you, as a PM of an "independent" country trying to help by yourself the people that are lucking the essential things for a normal living? After all, you do say you are a multi-etnical society...

If that is the case, how come Serbs don't even have medicine or other normal things?

I think you lost this one, as UNMIK has already stated, they are willing to help Russia on this one...

And as we all can see, they are the real governemnt in your independent country...

As for you, well, you can still pose for photographers...

Thaci has some nerve. What about the humanitarian aid pack that went missing en route to the Kosovo Serbs?

The aid must go through UNMIK and UNMIK only. Under no circumstances can Thaci be involved since his government is not recognized by neither the givers (Russia) nor the receivers (Serbs) or the administrators (UNMIK). To involve Pristina would be illegal at all levels.

Thaci is starting to think that what he wants "matters" he actually thinks he has some say in matters pertaining to Kosovo. Time for a reality check for him, who knows, soon he'll think he is the leader of this toy republic and give Bush and company a headache.

I expect someone will sit Thaci down, and slap his hand and explain to him that he is nothing more than a toy himself! An instrument of the US.

The Serbs made this proposal knowing in advance that it will be turned down by the Americans so that they can show the world that the Americans are strangling the Serbs and forcing them to live under the rule of an illegal government. This whole thing is really a brilliant political move on behalf of the Serbian Government.

Actually, Thaci, Kosovo is not legitimate and neither are its so called institutions. Legally, it is still part of Serbia.

Its ridiculous to think that Russians would want to consult a 'government' that they don't themselves recognize as legitimate. They have stated many times that Kosovo UDI is illegitimate and moraly wrong.

Thaci is in no position to tell the Russians what to do nor demand anything from them.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has warned in its latest report that the axis between South American drug cartels and the Albanian mafia have acquired alarming proportions, and reports by several intelligence agencies show that Kosovo is a distribution center on the crossroads of global routes and pathways of drug trafficking.


In other words, pls do not disturb our florishing business!!

Their is always a catch 22 and it allays will be if Russia dose not recognize Pristina and most of the UN members don't either. No mater how much the Brussels EU and Washington like to beg and bluster differently.

“In these circumstances, Kosovo is independent, sovereign and has legitimate institutions. Serbs are Kosovo citizens, and a part of these legitimate and democratic institutions, and everything should be handled through these institutions, once an agreement is reached,” Thaci said. "

Tachi should know that "Kosovo is independent, sovereign and has legitimate institutions" for some countries, not for all, and not for UN.
Besides, who sais that everything should be handled through these institutions? Yugoslavia was also independent, sovereign and had legitimate institutions. More then half of the NGO's have sent aid to Albanians directly, some even using parallel government established by Rugova.
Besides, relax Tachi is just aid.

Sorry Hachim, the package is addressed to "Kosovo Serbs". It's a federal offense in my country to open someone else's mail. Plus, we want to make sure the aid goes to its intended recipients, and not siphoned off for your gang.

Only...KosovO is not independent and sovereign. 85% of the world did not fall for that shameless ploy. Important thing is if Serbs welcome the help from Russia. The only thing Thaci can really do is go back to his old (or should I say normal) ways of handling things and try to stop Russia by force, who knows with US weapons he might succeed...however I highly doubt that he'll get US air force to fly his sorties this time around, US just doesn't have a stomach for that kind of stuff after 5 years in Iraq.

the snake is starting to over-emphasize himself!

well, maybe the Russians should send not only medical equipment, but also russian trucks with russian personnel, so, if some uck-gone-wild-rambo should try to stop them... let´s just see what happens!

this is not over my friends...

let´s just see what future brings.

I had really good laugh now. Hey people don’t be so harsh with Mr Thachi the criminal. All he wants is to feel important. He still believes as if he was some important factor to be asked for certain issues. Let him enjoy his imaginary role of “somebody important”. Of course, instead of him, the aid will be handled by UNMIK because they (I hope) figured it out what filthy games Thachi (the organ trafficker) is ready to play. I am sure Thachi would like to do everything in his power to withhold that aid to the Serbs, and sell it out in black market.

Thachi has a right to oppose - everyone does - whether Russia will listen, sure. Will they comply - not likely in this century.

CCCC

Tuff luck Thaci. Good luck on stopping this shipment of aid to the SERB'S. But yet not a bad idea Jacob. The Serb's need to protect themselfs and thier shipment of aid.

The thing is arti, no country is offering to help Albanians. Therefore it is not ''either Serbs or Albanians'' it is actually just Serbs, and that is what the problem is to begin with, really.
Second, Russia does not recognize illegal Kosovo state, and that is pretty much the end. I don't think that needs further clarification as to why Thaci's comment is so ridiculous.

Thaci and co should expect to get bypassed many many many times over.

Russia only has to consult with UNMIK since it is UNMIK which runs the province. No use to consult with the illegal albanian institutions since they don't have no legal existence!

Mr Thaci opposes the aid to Serbs but gladly and officialy welcomes American rifles to Kosovo. Mr Thaci does not know that decisions on Kosovo are made through the follwing procedure: first UN, than Nato, then Eulex, and Kosovo's state only and maybe in next 50 years? At that time, for him to decide on anything, time will already have passed.

Bravo Ana!
"....(thaci)as a PM of an "independent" country trying to help by yourself the people that are lacking the essential things for a normal living? After all, you do say you are a multi-etnical society...".

But really Thaci should stick to what he does best... ...Putting up signs!!!!! He really needs to stop deluding himself and recognise that his position is nothing more than symbolic!!!!

This thaci, a former wanted terrorist ( and I will stress this for ever), is a complete joke. Actually, the whole situation is a big clown's circus show in town: albanians stealing our land and now pretending to rule it! The only difference is that these clowns are not funny at all, actually they are rather pathetic...

Wish you all a good day!

If Russia does not recognize Kosovo, then who is Thaci to tell Russia to do anything?

so its alright for thaci to ask the us for there support in his quest for independence , but its not alright for russia to send medical supplys etc etc to the serbs in there own country ?

Jacob, are you suggesting that the Russians are trying to smuggle a tank inside a tampon?

This aid consists of medicine and personah hygiene products. Who made mention of any weapons?
Serbian health and lives and not important to Thaci, that's evident but if America believes in his sincerity then the whole world is supposed to as well.

No deal Mr Thaci. You have no right to forbid anything as you don't have a country called Kosovo. You live in a country called Serbia where you might only the local mayor of Pristina. That's according to UN not US.

I believe that because Thaci was in the KLA and killed Serbs he wants all the Serbs to leave or die anyway.

This will be a precedent.

@ Brian
believe that because Thaci was in the KLA and killed Serbs he wants all the Serbs to leave or die anyway.

Of course he does and so do the Yanks. They see the only problem with KosovO is that Serbs still live there. I believe that they would think their problems would be erased if the Serb populous was no more. Sounds like "Braveheart" where Longshanks said "the problem with Scotland is there are too many Scotts, let's breed them out"! Exactly what the Albos did in Kosovo, and in the next 15 to 20 years it will take place in the FYRM and Montenegro. That's how they will form a greater Albania and there's nothing we can do about it, unless we have 10 kids to a family like they have. Anyway, Thaci's a dreamer who thinks he's a global statesman - Fat chance bub!!

First Thaci itsn't opposing any aid from any country,everybody is welcome to help either one Serbs or Albanians in Kosova,what he's opposing is that Russia cannot go in Belgrade for permition for the matters in Kosova whether Serbs like it or not,he's just saying that Kosova it is not a house with doors open and nobody knows who comes and go,and in this case have Serbia decide what Kosova need or not.
This is the exact truble that Serbia caused in 2001 with the border betwen Kosova and sllavo-macedonia,they're playing nasty game (wich I don't think that it's going to work,like it didn't for the past 9 years) for same reason,they feel left aside in this proces?the gas deal with Serbia was put in question lately? who knows,I'll le you guys decide...

“...., Kosovo is independent, sovereign and has legitimate institutions". No Sir Kosovo is not a independent sovereign state.

If my country (the United States) can ship guns, Russia can ship butter.

Vladimir Putin proabbly will send Weapons!
Hashim Thaçi has right.

To the Dj Krstic & Co with the head bmrusila….

“Only...KosovO is not independent and sovereign. 85% of the world did not fall for that shameless ploy”

I am wondering why you always need a person to orchestrate you. It seems that you finally found him. There is no other case in the history of the new countries which under such circumstances has been recognized so fast from the MOST democratic, powerful, wealthy states like KosovA. You pretend that by now is not fully recognized!!! Who expected that Kosova would be fully recognized in one month or two!!! Is it any other country recognized in one month or two!!!! Of course who is realistic wouldn’t dare to think about it because is simply the mechanism of the state creation that doesn’t allow it. But you Serbs are using it as a failure by telling us here that 85 % of the world didn’t fall…… That is your refrain in almost all commentaries, totally worthless. Just keep it und you are making us a favor.

KosovA is not Russia, neither Serbia. The people over there never accepted as honor being citizens of Serbia since NO minorities were/are satisfied under your regimes starting 100 years ago up to now.

The “aid” from Russian remains us the same aid in 1999 when the airplanes full with weapons were tracked down by NATO. Therefore such aids of course must be under the strong control of UNMIK/government of Kosova elected by the people of Kosova. It is ridiculous the claim that the Albanians don’t want to deliver aid to Serbs. Before all they are human being.

to B92

What is wrong with the commentaries from Albanian-side? That is how you share the space for everything or? It seems that the old game is not yet over. The truth can not be biased as you represent it.

what would be your reaction if EU and USA decided to send aid ONLY to Albanians?

PEOPLE, slow down. Kosova is INDEPENDENT…..Hashim Thaci is its PM….whether you like it or not…..
Mr. Thaci never denied aid to K- Serbs; he just wanted that the aid will go through Kosova’s government….and he has all legal rights to do it….he was elected …

”a former wanted person”…does the word former says anything to you…..former means past time… Mr. Thaci was wanted by Serbia’s government; he was arrested couple times but after few minutes he was released and apologized. Why? (No comment)

Let’s go back few years….Ethnic cleansing, murder, rape….OK…..War is over…. International community established ICTY…. You all say Albanians did war crimes on Serbs…One question!!!! How many Albanians and how many Serbs were accused for war crimes???? I don’t know the exact number for Serbs nut I can tell you that “only”6 Albanians were accused..2 of them released and at least two more will be released on April, 3…..

How many Serbs were accused???? My answer is: NOT ENOUGH……

It’d very hard for me to understand how you all can be proud of Russia…I mean Russia…the same country that was divided in lot of different states….Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova ect…they all want to joint NATO…AND THEY WILL…..Your “BIG BROTHER” will be surrounded by NATO counties ( “ENEMIES”)…..

Mr Thaci can write his complain, no problem. Russian should listen to Albanians and their western patrons like west is listening to Russia.
Russia should tell NATO that Russia is listening to NATO but NATO has no veto right in what Russia will do to protect its national interest.

Vladimir Putin proabbly will send Weapons!
Hashim Thaçi has right.
