I do not understand PM Thaci way did he shake hands with serbian Presidant Tadic.
Mr Tadic is leader of War Criminals, until he hands out to the Hague Tribunal, he is guilty as well.....

I really shouldn't have to rectify your very basic grasp of English but I will.
All those examples you use are adjectives that end in 'AN' which is precisely the point I was making. A person from Kosovo is therefore a KosovAN. Why give me the pleasure of proving me right??
(Goran, 25 April 2008 11:20)

Goran, since you keep harping on this issue I'll take this opportunity to prove you wrong too.
Unlike you though I won't use my amazing deductive powers of logic but simply bring a link from Merriam-Webster's. If that's not good enough for you try Oxford's too.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kosovar

After completing the task try searching for the word "Kosovan" and let us know of the result.

And it is bastardisation with an S and not a Z because I live in England and have so far managed to avoid the AmericaniSation of the English lang.

If Ibrahim Rugova could shake hands with the "Butcher of the Balkans" when his people were being expelled from Kosova then it is not inconceivable for Tadic to have shaken Thaci's hand.

He should NOT EVER shake hands with the terrorist who was involved in killing, removing organs of Serbian people and selling them on the black market(see Carla Del Ponte's book).

A basic rule 'Do not beleive all that is written.'
Carla del Ponte kept this stuff on her sleeve (in a place where it could count) and decided to write a book about it (after she became irelevant to any such matters).

If you really beleive this stuff then I will pray for you.

Oh and Nahet in English it's Kosovo and not Kosovar, there's no need for the bastardisation of an established name.

Goran M,
A person living in Bulgaria is a Bulgarian,
A person living in Russia is a Russian
A person living in France is French
A person living in Germany is a German
And
A person living in Kosovo(a) is Kosovar.

Bastardisation (Bastardization) of an established name is using the term KiM as it is used by numerous people in these forums.

If he shook the snakes hand, I wonder if he lost his watch? Presidents seems to have a habit of loosing their watches when shaking hands with albanians ;-)
Speaking of watches, have anybody seen the gold Rolex that Thaci is wearing? It sells for abut 30 000 us dollars, I wonder how much a pay as "prime minister of Kosova" is? He obviously can afford many things that ordinary honest albanians cant..

If he refused to shake the hand of a senior figure in Kosovo (independent or not), then there is the reason why Serbia has lost Kosovo. Had it reached out a hand even after 1999, Kosovo may well be part of serbia.

“President Tadić and I met and exchanged a few brief words at the Security Council session—me, in the capacity of Kosovo prime minister, Tadić in the capacity of Serbian prime minister,“ said Thaci.

Its obvious that this comment by Thaci is an outright lie.

first of all, he can only enter the UN as a citizen, not as a representative of a fake state. Next, Tadic is Serbias President, not Prime Minister.

I also heard that Thaci spat his palm before stretching it to Tadic in the sign of "brotherhood" but then Tadic, who is alergic to spit, withdrew his hand at the last moment.
After this the media started the speculations that he shook the hand or not. An unofficial source from Doo-Doo agency reported Tadic having said that he would rather prefer a hug from Thaci but that was refused by Thaci as being too close for the moment.

Cheers with idiotcy!

To shake hand with an ethnic Albanian is not a problem. Problem is to shake hand with Hasim Thaci terrorist, , criminal and secessionist whose hands are deep soaked in blood of Serbians, Gypsies, Macedonians, Gorans...and ethnic Albanians.
I wouldn't do that neither.

I am pretty sure he did not shake hands with Taci. Shaking hands would mean friendliness and agreement whereas both of them are utterly absent. You don't shake hands with someone who had robbed you, and you don't shake hands with the figure who became a millioner selling organs of your people.
If Tadic refuses even to look in his direction, nobody will complain.

Whether Tadic shook Thaci's hand is not really an issue.

Former guerilla leader Thaci has always denied that his KLA committed warcrimes. Although the judges in the Hague decided that there was not enough evidence to convict Haradinaj, these judges concluded that the KLA did commit warcrimes on a large scale. Even if Thaci does not have blood on his hands, which is quite unlikely for a guerilla leader, he still is distorting the truth. Why on earth then should any Serbian politician shake hands with Thaci?

Soon, they will! In fact, maybe they already did. At least one european oriented politician in Serbia has realized that Kosovo status is a done deal, and if he wins the elections of May 11, he most probably recognize Kosovo declaration of independence. That will come with its own bagagge. Some will become furious, some other relieved, and some other will not care at all. Serbs will focus on their EU talks, Kosovo will welcome foreign investitors to rescue it from the economic hole that is currently in, and everybody will live happily ever after!

Where is the problem to shake hands with a former Serbian citizen? It is crazy to claim and judge this action, if ever happend. Is that a crime? All this comedy and farce from Serbian politicians and other nationalists is a sign of a deep ignorance and fear to lose their fasade. A typical communist behaivour. As in case of Chinas government who do not want to talk or meet Dalai Lama. How can Serbia with its Russian friends claim to continue the dialog and negotiations with Albanians. What an irony. I hope Tadic could show some courage to meet also Kosovo Albanians.

If he shook the snakes hand, I wonder if he lost his watch? Presidents seems to have a habit of loosing their watches when shaking hands with albanians ;-)
Speaking of watches, have anybody seen the gold Rolex that Thaci is wearing? It sells for abut 30 000 us dollars, I wonder how much a pay as "prime minister of Kosova" is? He obviously can afford many things that ordinary honest albanians cant..

Oh and Nahet in English it's Kosovo and not Kosovar, there's no need for the bastardisation of an established name.

Goran M,
A person living in Bulgaria is a Bulgarian,
A person living in Russia is a Russian
A person living in France is French
A person living in Germany is a German
And
A person living in Kosovo(a) is Kosovar.

Bastardisation (Bastardization) of an established name is using the term KiM as it is used by numerous people in these forums.

I really shouldn't have to rectify your very basic grasp of English but I will.
All those examples you use are adjectives that end in 'AN' which is precisely the point I was making. A person from Kosovo is therefore a KosovAN. Why give me the pleasure of proving me right??

And it is bastardisation with an S and not a Z because I live in England and have so far managed to avoid the AmericaniSation of the English lang.

If he refused to shake the hand of a senior figure in Kosovo (independent or not), then there is the reason why Serbia has lost Kosovo. Had it reached out a hand even after 1999, Kosovo may well be part of serbia.

What exactly are you basing that on?

With regard to all the posts of "shaking hands, spitting on the palms, etc..." even if made in jest; Tadic is more intelligent than that to shake the hand of a SNAKE.

Was this action so important to have so many replies, who cares if they shook hands. No one does so why do we continue to keep this going.

He should NOT EVER shake hands with the terrorist who was involved in killing, removing organs of Serbian people and selling them on the black market(see Carla Del Ponte's book).

A basic rule 'Do not beleive all that is written.'
Carla del Ponte kept this stuff on her sleeve (in a place where it could count) and decided to write a book about it (after she became irelevant to any such matters).

If you really beleive this stuff then I will pray for you.

If Ibrahim Rugova could shake hands with the "Butcher of the Balkans" when his people were being expelled from Kosova then it is not inconceivable for Tadic to have shaken Thaci's hand.

Goran, since you keep harping on this issue I'll take this opportunity to prove you wrong too.
Unlike you though I won't use my amazing deductive powers of logic but simply bring a link from Merriam-Webster's. If that's not good enough for you try Oxford's too.

After completing the task try searching for the word "Kosovan" and let us know of the result.

I do not understand PM Thaci way did he shake hands with serbian Presidant Tadic.
Mr Tadic is leader of War Criminals, until he hands out to the Hague Tribunal, he is guilty as well.....
