comments like the one by "osoman" make me smile...

yes osoman, time is on Serbia´s side, you don´t realize it, right, but nevertheless... you will, it´s only a question of... =) time!


as for johny: Peggy does not have to spare anything, since it is simply the truth what whe wrote.

it obviously looks like the only thing they can sell you is the legend of "the wealthiest states are behind you" ... well, let´s see for how long!

as one has written here, and also completely right, the Katrina-victims STILL live scattered across the southern US and I really do not see where they would be capable of cutting their own budget to feed more than a million jobless K-albanians...

it´s "Americans first", you know... :)

Wouldn't be too enthused about World bank & IMF membership. Are 'pro's & 'con's, And latter are of special concern to the third-world.

Peggy Serbia has been borrowing from IMF and World Bank for ages so spare us your rhetoric.
(johny, 22 October 2008 22:12)

What rhetotic? I did not mention Serbia at all. You are so obsessed with Serbia that you see Serbia in everything.
Who has been borrowing from China big time? Countries borrow but countries lend and invest as well.

Kosovo has nothing to lend is my whole point. It's easy to take someone's property,declare it your own and then try to use it to entice others to it.

Kosovo is legally Serbian and the Albanians have nothing to offer except stolen goods. I think people are a bit nervous about accepting stolen goods as collateral so investemnts are going to be non existant while the debt to the bank if approved will be enormeous. Bright future here for you.

These US clubs are designed to get nations into more and more debt anyway. That way the US has more bargaining power to make those nations even more subservient.

What a great achievement for our Albanian friends.
(ZK UK, 22 October 2008 14:59)

I guess our Serbian friends had that great achievement before us, since they are members of both IMF and World Bank, both US clubs who make nations dependent on them, according to you. Your membership however came with a bombing campaign against you.

I just read a article on ctv.ca where Serbia is loooking for help from the IMF like Somalia, Pakistan, Ukraine and couple more countires. Well, I'm not surprised cuz Jeremic was sleeping in 5 star hotels. So does that mean Kosovo partly will be landing money to Serbia? Things to turn around, don't they?
(AJ, 22 October 2008 15:41)

Kosovo lending money to someone?
Hey, I've just taken out a large mortgage so that makes me a member of a bank. I owe heaps but I hold a membership card and that's all that matters. I look good to my neighbours. Does this sound familiar?

Kosovo won't be lending. You will be borrowing from anyone willing to lend to you.

The big difference between my membership and yours is that one day I will own my house, while you will ALWAYS be supervised. That's what you've signed up to.

What use is membership of the IMF or World Bank when they won't want to invest in Kosovo. Until the legal situation over Kosovo is settled at the ICJ, Kosovo won't be able to tap it's most valuable resources - Trepca. And if this goes in Serbia's favour then the IMF and World Bank will only invest around the US base, not in Trepca.

kosovo is already in wb and imf: through serbia!

fact is the same promiss came for this month, now we know how it ended. :-)

fact is there is no western majority, without saudi arabia no vote-majority for pseudo-states-membership.

and fact ist, if the americans want to be feeded by china and russia, then only after their dictate. if not -> shut the beep up and print 700 billion dollars ...

this nonsense has the same charme as sweet-singing "eusa donation-conference for georgia"!

while until today katrina-victims are waiting for the promised help (of their own government).

Lets see Russia veto Kosovo's membership now. Oh wait they can't veto LOL. Unlucky for Serbia, Kosovo will become a member of the World Bank and IMF! Who is going to stop Kosovo from doing so? They can't be stopped as the countries who recognise Kosovo have the majority of the power in these two organisations.

"look also other Serb statements like noone will recognise Kosovo, it will isolate itself, Time is on Serbia's side "the world knows" Kosovo is Serbia"

You do realise that October has been the best month in ages for Kosovo in terms of recognition and more is expected in the future. Also time is on Kosovo's side, slowly but surely they are gaining recognition and less and less countries are supporting Serbia. Gutted.

Go the Republic of Kosovo!

Good appetite, Osoman, at least you don't have to deal with food prices set by Miskovic.

120 gram of Сёмга ('red fish"), imported from Russia = 520 Dinars.

Otherwise IMF or World Bank was always expected, no controversy here, please read the article again.

For UN there should be certain conditions met. Kosovo is still very far from that.

..Looks like it is going to be another glorious victory for Mr. Jeremic "..Kosovo will never become a member of World Bank, IMF or UN.." look also other Serb statements like noone will recognize Kosovo, it will isolate itself, Time is on Serbia's side "the world knows" Kosovo is Serbia, Russia will prevail, US will go down etc.
