Feith: Independence is closed question

Hello,

Mr. Feith's comments are irresponsible and laughable to say the least. What a joke! He's threatening the Serbs with not being able to integrate into the EU if they keep fighting for what is rightfully their's. With this said....what does the EU stand for. Serbian sovereignty and territotrial integrity has been breached. Instead of promoting the European backing of a European nation they have once again brought shame to the EU by bringing the rest of Europe to their collective knees infront of the imperalist American Gov't. With this said why should the Serbs even want to join the EU if their interests won't be backed by the major EU countries such as France, Germany etc etc?

The issue of independence is not a closed question - all this man is doing is trying to undermine Serbia joining the EU.

Serbia will not close the question of Kosovo, neither will it stop moving towards EU membership. In due time, the people who will have to change their minds are those EU politicians who are exercising the heavy hand. They will not be able to work against the people of Serbia forever - Serbia's move towards the EU is more powerful than they are.

In the meantime, EULEX does not have a legal mandate and it is working against the spirit of 1244. It is a puppet and should have its strings cut off now.

Even if he is right how does that make the Serbs in Kosovo citizens of Kosovo and not Serbia. He can do nothing and knows no way to integrate Serbs with the KLA government of Thaci. Serbs do not want to be governed by KLA terrorists.

Feith who are you? Who do you speak for, international law or your political masters in Washington? EULEX is illegal, Kosovo independence is illegal and your redundant! Get a new career!

Well, at least Feith's true colours are starting to show...

Really...I mean, walk through the streets of Belgrade, and ask yourself if Serbia isn't ALREADY an EU country!!!

LOL... perhaps somebody should tell Mr. Feith that he is walking on serbian soil each and every day... =)


now, the nearer this ICJ thing gets, the more nervous are some people getting!

Feith, to make that clear, you are not our friend! you are only a temporary tolerated official sent by the EU WITHOUT a mandate to do so...

This guy really is just a broken record and I fail to understand why this nobody even gets press time. Also, with conditions now put on EU membership, this is a sign of desperation more than anything else. It is just another nail in the coffin of "Kosova independence". RIP

Before sending any comment it's worth to see P.F. curriculum and decide:

- does he really represent European Union civil politics or he is rather a NATO "refugee" within EU
- is his carrier focused on civil or military matters

Since there is no agreement within EU about Kosovo recognition, what kind of authority P.F. has to speak for all EU countries.

There is a saying:

"If a diplomat says 'yes', that means 'maybe'"
"If a diplomat says 'maybe', that means 'no""
"If a diplomat says 'no', that means he is not a diplomat"

Judge for yourself:

"Pieter Feith said that Kosovo’s independence is a closed question that cannot be negotiated any further."

No Mr Faith you are wrong.
Indipendence is not closed deal.
Kosovans are having second thoughts about it. They miss the times when Serbian solders and militia went in their houses without warning and destroyed what was inside. It was so much fun you know. They miss the beatings, killings, massgraves, burned houses and on and on and on. They are actually nostalgic of the time when they had to live in camps in Albania and Macedonia not knowing if they were going to get home ever again.(I saw them with my own eyes first days when they were crossing the border in tears in 99. Shame). They do remember it all cos I remember it and I am not from Kosovo and I did not go through that thank god.
So whatever ICJ, no ICJ it does not matter. One thing though. Kosovans are going to make sure that those things mentioned above wont happen again. Te only way to do that is: To make sure no soleder, militia or police from Serbia gets into Kosovo ever. And believe me they are going to make sure of that. So talk is cheap.

Delay Kosova, delay yourself. The only negotiable thing--Mitrovica with Presheva--is against EU principles. Every nation has the right to get an opinion which is non-binding so don't celebrate yet

Feith, I assure you that Kosovo's "independence" is still a very open question before the UN, however closed you claimed the issue to be in the EU -- this itself a blatant lie as not all EU members have recognized Pristina yet or intend to do so anytime soon!

"Serbia will not close the question of Kosovo, neither will it stop moving towards EU membership. In due time, the people who will have to change their minds are those EU politicians who are exercising the heavy hand."

No one but Albanians can change their mind, and they aren't about to, not after 10,000 died and saw all that destruction. Never again. EU of course is not going to either, they want peace and stability in thee Balkans and they have realized the mistakes thy made in 1912. with Albanian lands and by accepting Cyprus.

Serbia Fears EU Will Insist on Kosovo Recognition
http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/analysis/13735/

“Germany, France, and Denmark are already mentioning this condition [of recognition] in the ‘couloirs’,”

“All the EU member states that have recognised Kosovo independence will - eventually - demand that Serbia follows suit, when it [Serbia] is ready to join the EU,” the official added. “No one wants to have another Cyprus case.”

"Dusan Janjic, head of Serbia’s Forum for Ethnic Relations, said recognition of Kosovo was implied by the rules of EU membership. One stipulation is that every applicant state must control the whole of its territory “with Cyprus being the exception”. "

So talk is cheap.

Yes, Asim. One picture is worth 1000 words.
Can you please elaborate, what's on that picture?

There are more and more signs and "messages" from the EU that the recognition of Kosovo by Serbia will be a condition of membership. It makes perfect sense. Any member or potential member has to effectively control its territory. Serbia was dragging its feet with many conditions until now loosing precious years. Who cares if with the recognition of Kosovo they will not progress for 20 or 30 years? Nobody will suffer but Serbia. Let them move at their very slow pace.

Feith! so what do you want for Serbia give up and recognized the UDI?? dont expect it to happen coz Serbia will never give up its historical right of Kosovo in what ever price and even the EU membership.

"Since there is no agreement within EU about Kosovo recognition, what kind of authority P.F. has to speak for all EU countries."

Technically, all you need is one. 21 out of 27 have recognized so far, including the top ones, france and Germany. What do you think will happen?

He may not be a diplomat, but it is all solved now since diplomacy is over. Independence is a reality, and Albanians will accept nothing less.

To Ataman.
I could link you to 10000 pictures worth to 10000000 words starting from 18th century. That's when cameras first started being used.
So better do not go through that kind of argument

B92 shoudl STOP publishing form Attaman.

You don't have to be an expert to see that it is PURE photo-MONTAGE.

The cut looks like made by laser and many other things... that I will not stay here to explain banalities and photo-montages

mr feith seems losing faith in his eulex deployment and hes crying like a baby for serbia to lay low. mama mia what a disgrace. if ICJ is not to be a factor in kosovo why the heck that all the diplomats are discouraging its approval? uhm maybe its the other way around. the ICJ will declare kosovo independence illegal.

What's the matter Ben? Truth too horrible for you to accept?
Take a good look at Albanians at war. It's a horrible sight.

Don't try to tell us the photograph was doctored. Are you in forensic now?
