It is being reported in B 92 about the germans attacking UN building. By the way: didin't you albanians say it was the serbs who commited this attack?

HE WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH

pre 15 godina

Well there are people in Kosovo who does not agree with how things are going. Serbia status is moving in the positive. Why attack Kosovo. Now to bring attention the Albanian cause provoke an response but i think Serbia is Smarter than that. Why worry KFOR, is working with the security forces and they will prevent stupidty. So Serbia is saying they are not going to tolerate incursion by extremeist so heed the warning.

Dear Florin,

Biden as a VP will have no real power except advising Obama and has very good ties to Tadic and Holbrooke actually was the man responsible for the establishment of an prosperous Republika Srpska in Bosnia so I am not concerned very much.
They fought a private battle against Milosevic and not the Serbian people.
Americans have a lot of other pressing issues to care about in the next 8 years than the Balkans believe me.

As for the lobbying,this is really laughable,do you really think the Albanian or the Serb community can redirect Americas foreign policy like the Jewish lobby ? No way !

The outstanding issues between Albanians and Serbs must be resolved,change of Presevo and Northern Mitrovica and compensation for all damaged properties,refugees and so on...

If the SPS was so concerned about the security of Serbia, why are they participating in a government that legitimizes Eulux?

Whenever the SPS is in trouble with popularity polls they bring out their "national law and order program".

Their campaigning is as if they have looked into the tea leaves and seen that the government is about to fall.

Perhaps the SPS has not learned that the voter does not trust them. They cemented Tadic's take over and now they may become his Achillies heel.

Dear CG

I read your posts thoroughly, and now I would like to respond to them in a concise but direct way.

First, you allege that in a "un-meddled" war, Serbia would drive the Albanians to the Adriatic. This statement fails to take into account a simple fact. Serbia's war against Albanians in 1997-1999 was a war against the civilian "separatist" population of Kosova and against a guerrilla force which sprung from that population. It was not a war against another state, with an organized army. You better win a war against civilians and whatever weapons they muster to smuggle in. The only war against another country with an organized army that Serbia has ever won, was against Croatia (although they had just formed a country and their army was pretty hastily put together), and we know what the result of that war was...
Also note, that in today's modern world, wars are rarely fought directly. Most of the time, some sort of military alliance is involved, where smaller states depend on larger ones for their security. In that respect, I remind you that Albania, along with Croatia was invited to join NATO at the Bucharest convention, and will be a full member in 2009, with more than half the NATO members having already ratified the necessary documentation. So I ask that you reconsider your decision again.

Second, I have to address your views on the US administration. I don't know where you are from, but I live in NYC. I am an Albanian-American, and I voted for Barack Obama. Although McCain was a fervent Albanian supporter, I cast my vote for Obama with the full belief that he would support the Albanian cause wholeheartedly too. And I have to say that so far I have not been disappointed. His choice for VP, Joe Biden, a proven supporter of Albanians made my day. Choosing Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, and Richard Holbrooke and Madeline Albright as foreign relations advisers was an even stronger indication of what the US policy in the Balkans will likely be like. I hate to disappoint you, but you should not be looking to America for any hope for your beloved country of Serbia. Unfortunately for Serbia, Albanians, in both sheer numbers as well as lobbying power, outnumber any Serb efforts by a mile.

Third, I would like to briefly address your demographics argument. You claim that there are more Serbs than Albanians in the Balkans, and that this means an automatic victory for Serbia. While this argument is naive at best, I would like to query the fact that Milosevic's sole argument against the Albanians in 1989 was what he called "demographic genocide". If the Serbs are so dominant in terms of population birthrate against the Albanians, why then was he so concerned?

I wish you a happy Thanksgiving, and urge you to consider the above points in writing your views in the future.

@ CG

They are 7.3 Milion in Serbia and only 80% are Serbs. 1.5 million in RS. Do the math. Demographics aren't good and you know it.

--You know very well that in a war without meddling

In a war with no meddling everyone would be armed and organized, not just Serbs, and Albania would be allowed to join too. You kicked out, thanks to terror, women and children after your troops were massed inside Kosova little by little.

--Melissa bean is a Congresswoman, just one many. Hillary Clinton (Sec of State,) Biden (VP), John Kerry (senate foreign relations) and Obama himself supported independence. All of O's advisers are from Clinton era and Hillary makes a point of saying KosovA (and stays on the 'A' longer too)

"Russia has reserves of over 750 bn dollars in cash and could set up a stimulus package any time"

---No they don't. Russia has about $450 billion down from $600 Billion. http://www.reuters.com/article/usDollarRpt/idUSLJ39964220081119 Russians companies owe some $500 billion top the world and that's all the Forex Russia has. Will they default or lend the money to the companies to pay their debts. Russia has defaulted twice, no one will land them a penny, US can print it because the dollar is the world's currency. Russians have spent over $150 billion defending the ruble and it's still falling.

Links from a socialist site do nothing to me, but US goes down and it comes up stronger. Russians on the other hand...

@Albanez

there are about 5,7 million Albanians and about 9,5 million Serbs in the Balkans.

Also Melissa Bean Delic will be working as an associate in the new administration and Illinois governor Blagojevich has extraordinary ties to the new elect president.
And again "spare" me the wishful thinking of your "experts".Russia has reserves of over 750 bn dollars in cash and could set up a stimulus package any time.BTW The technology sector is growing fast,they only depend 60% on oil in exports,three years ago this number was 80%.

Which terrorists? Why terrorists? When did the last time Albanians attack anything in Serbia? What is this guy talking about?

Why is B92 not reporting that 3 Germans were arrested in kosovo for the bomb attack in the ICo building on 14 November? Why is B92 not reporting, just like all other media, that according to the respected german newspaper "Der Spiegel" all 3 germans are members of the German Secret Service (BND)?

Almost everything coming these last days from Serbia is Milosevic type propaganda.

first of all, if NATO should bomb again in the Balkans, the target will be the Albanians.

Huh? 4%, what are you smoking? The numbers will be out in March or so but you know them already. Look at Serbia's economy, begging IMF for loans and fearing a total collapse like in 1990's. Is isn't just US, NATO is in...and that means your neighbors will be in Kosova.

Yeah, Russia is going to give nukes to the only people convicted of genocide in Europe since WWII.

Americans have a lot of other pressing issues to care about in the next 8 years than the Balkans believe me.

As for the lobbying,this is really laughable,do you really think the Albanian or the Serb community can redirect Americas foreign policy like the Jewish lobby ? No way !

The outstanding issues between Albanians and Serbs must be resolved,change of Presevo and Northern Mitrovica and compensation for all damaged properties,refugees and so on...

Well there are people in Kosovo who does not agree with how things are going. Serbia status is moving in the positive. Why attack Kosovo. Now to bring attention the Albanian cause provoke an response but i think Serbia is Smarter than that. Why worry KFOR, is working with the security forces and they will prevent stupidty. So Serbia is saying they are not going to tolerate incursion by extremeist so heed the warning.

It is being reported in B 92 about the germans attacking UN building. By the way: didin't you albanians say it was the serbs who commited this attack?
