What about all those lands and houses that are occupied by Albanians. It hampers returns and it means that there is less money in Kosovo's Serb community for further development.

Same as Serbia's. Albania is growing, like it or not. Inflation at 3% and growing by 6-7% a year.

"didnt Tito give Kosovo special status? Not allowing Serbs to return after WW 2 to gain special relations with Albania."

He had promised the Albanians and Hoxha specifically unification. Not allowing the Serbs that came there in the 20's as settlers was the middle road. Special status after Rankovic?
How long did that last before Serbs took it? Whatever Kosova had was destroyed during the war anyway so it needs to be built from scratch. Regions need huge investments, something from the state.

" Once Albania is not needed it will be dropped like a hot potato. Just remember we once supported Iraq and the Afgans (Taliban) at one time now look at both countries."

See you in Albania in 4-5 years Dave. Same money for a beautiful beach flat or an investment one. Before coming, look at the European map, that's where Albania is.

You are quite correct, The UK is in a right mess, our health system is in meltdown, Gordon Brown is a lame duck and Labour are 30% behind in the polls. Energy prices are throught the roof, Petrol and Diesel are over £1.10 per ltr. Britain gave Kosovo, Palestine , Georgia 17m each of money it doesnt have, the media were asked not report report this too much as as there would be a backlash from the UK voter. Scotlands SNP have a firm grip which could see an independent Scotland very soon, we have an over stretched armed force who are poorly equiped and paid. Britian is no position to away tax payers money.

The best thing we in the UK can do is pull out of the EU send all immigrants back wo where they belong and get rid of the freeloaders.

Situation is ever so slightly more complex than that. Will no doubt still be blaming the serbs for your own failings years down the track.

> Don't worry, a fast growing Albania is right next door should EU /US leave (very, very, very unlikely.)

That the same Albania with an effective unemployment rate of approx 30%?

Dashnori i Satam, 96 years of Belgrade abuse, didnt Tito give Kosovo special status? Not allowing Serbs to return after WW 2 to gain special relations with Albania. Just shows how divided the EU is i am English and certainly do not support my goverments stance on Kosovo and there alot of UK voters who dont want Albanians or Turks in the EU.

Albania is a third world state compared to western Europe, its a puppet state for the US, it useful at the moment for the war on terror like Kosovo its there to be controlled to stop Islamic extremists. Once Albania is not needed it will be dropped like a hot potato. Just remember we once supported Iraq and the Afgans (Taliban) at one time now look at both countries.

The only reason Serbia was bombed by NATO at the time was because the goverment was pro Russian , if 9/11 had happened sooner it would have been a different story.

It was also useful to get our troops in the area besuase AL Qaeda was gaining a foot hold in Bosnia. Its all about the ability for the west to control your region to reduce the threat of Islamic extremists in Europe.

Serbia will be expected into the EU well before Kosovo, and the Serbs will be able to get work when the West divides Kosovo up.

This just proves although a fake independence has been declared Kosovo needs Serbia. There will be a point when the US and EU stops wasting money on this province.

So this person is saying that magically a land with more then 40% unemployment will be able to provide 100% unemplyoment for returnees. I guess he seems t4o forget that returnees who have returned have 70% unemployment.
