Anything to hide the truth. Ben keep telling yourself those lies. As much as I disagree with it Serbia puts it's war Hero's behind bars. As for the Kosovo Albanians, they put their warcriminals in office.

Illyrians has come to refer to a broad, ill-defined[1] "Indo-European"[2] group of peoples who inhabited the western Balkans (Illyria, roughly from central Albania to southern Pannonia) and even possibly Messapia in Southern Italy (if the Messapian language is to be considered an Illlyrian dialect[3]). Illyrians[4] were part[5] of the Hallstatt culture.[6][7][8][9][10]

In theory, Illyrians are defined as speakers of the Illyrian languages, but since the latter is practically unknown, this entails the danger of a circular definition. The existence of a broad "Illyrian" ethnic identity in the past is uncertain, and some argue that the ethnonym Illyrioi came to be applied to this large group of peoples by the ancient Greeks, Illyrioi having perhaps originally designated only a single people that came to be widely known to the Greeks due to proximity.[11][12]

Indeed, such a people known as the Illyrioi have occupied a small and well-defined part of the south Adriatic coast, around Skadar Lake astride the modern frontier between Albania and Montenegro. The name may then have expanded and come to be applied to ethnically different peoples such as the Liburni, Delmatae, Iapodes, or the Pannonii.....

I don't follow Tito's history, I don't follow the most well known history books, i consider history books to be biased. History books take into account what people had said. The perfect example is the spanish conquest of peru led by Francisco Pizarro. The Battle of Puná, for example. Was faught by a hand full of spaniards, who were not even soldiers, leaving three Spaniards dead and 400 dead or wounded Punians. In even more battles, 200 Spanish as opposed to his 80,000 tribal warriors, and supposedly the spanish won, without assistance.

i could sit here and point out a trillion different flaws in history books and the alike. Illyrians might have been in the balkans, but there is absolutely nothing to connect albanians to them. The albanian people, as what they have known to be for the last while, can only be traced to the turks.

There is no proof of your existence before the turks. Maybe albanians were there, but even if they were, they must have been a tribe of less than 10,000 people.

1st let me remind you that we're natives in the balkans, you came from the region of your mother Russia.

2nd even if we remain the poorest people in world, at least we're free and not living under terror.
(Albanian, 15 December 2008 14:42)

Atleast your comment is civilised. Though, I must point out a few things. As much as I hate to say it, and as much as people might resent me for it, "sorry" is just a word. Sorry is a word used to express remorse for an action which has been performed without proper thought, and thus, has dire consequences. Sorry doesn't bring people back.

Whats worse is that, which most people wont even acknowledge, serbs were also victims of genocide and war crimes, yet no one is willing to face up to the fact. People find it too easy to point the finger of blame at serbia. It isn't right, people died, and they deserve justice. It's people like western politicians, and ben, that really push things over the edge. To deny a crime ever happened, despite proof of it, is the most down right pathetic and disgusting form of behaviour a person can express.
I dont deny that crimes were comitted by the serbs, but i sure as hell won't stand by and let people blame us for everything. Yugoslavia wasnt brought down by serbs or croats or bosnians or any of the balkan people, rather the west. Communism was a disease in their eyes, and it needed to be quarantined. So much for democracy.

Unfortunately, the turkish were not and are not natives of the balkans. There is no proof of your existence before the turks. Maybe albanians were there, but even if they were, they must have been a tribe of less than 10,000 people. There simply isnt any proof to support the claims that they are descendants of illyrians. Not to mention the fact, even though serbia was ruled by the ottoman empire, the country never accepted islam. albanians, based on the mosques that are in parts of kosovo and almost all of albania, are muslims.

you live free, yet you keep us caged up, as if we're animals. We are kept behind barbed-wire, our churches are demolished, and our cemetaries are defaced. Yet, when have we done any of those? Why is it that you can cry about abuse against you, yet any form of crime comitted against a serb is simply serbian propoganda. Albanians are propoganda, nothing more, nothing less.

Ben, your comment is a joke. I have even more reason to believe that god doesnt exist, no one could make such a fatal flaw.

Yes World War Two. did you forget to mention that over 700,000 serbs were slaughtered in camps? That those resposinble such as ante pavelic were protected. ante pavelic ended up being protected by the vatican itself, he was priest there. So much for you and your western world.

Our leaders? Did you ever forget to mention that people like Milosevic never lifted a finger, yet they were prosecuted for the crimes committed by other people.
Thats why KLA leaders are now leaders. What kind of system promotes genocide and allows criminals to rule.

They were the sons who had people dress in yellow striped pants and adidas jackets, then gave them weapons. Albanians defending serbs? What have you been drinking? Im sure they protected us, with barb wire, whilst burning down our churches and defacing our cemeteries.

Tesla,

This is the EU fudge - imposed partition only they havent told the ethnic Albanians yet!

There are some ethnic-Albanians who realise what is happening is not happening just in Zvecan, Zubin Potok, Leposavic and Mitrovica but across the whole of the UN recognised Serbian province. However, the majority of ethnic -Albanian posters and in those in Serbia's province are happy enough continuing to be duped with Disney fairytale stories about independence!

Which is fine for now but the EU really need to be careful with this policy - thankfully when all hits the fan in 18 months, Serbia will not be the scapegoat of the 90's!

For now this clear and unequivocal war crime needs to be answered for by NATO and their skivvies KLA!

Oh what a tangled web the EUS weave...

I meant to say that Kosovo can never be independent because Serbs will always have parallel institutions and the right to have them under international law. Otherwise we can be sure that more atrocities, kidnappings and murder will occur. I am disappointed that there is no outrage from the general Albanian population as well. In fact, it is in the "average" Albanian towns that the Serbs are forced to live behind barbed wire.

Good post Princip. Glad to see that the entire Serb body of politicians and civilians encourage the ongoing investigation to continue and are not intimidated by their enemies.

Second, I find that Ben's reason is flawed in terms of critical thinking. Consider his rhetoric, ie: "Thaci defended Albanians from Serbs, therefore it is justified to persecute and murder Serbian civilians for profit.

This kind of reasoning only galvanizes Serbian resolve even further and shows what the Albanian view of human life, and of minorities really is. This is why they can never rule over Serbs in Kosovo. You rule your own areas, we will rule ours, but Serbia will remain defacto Serbian--all of it.

'You will never manage to twist the reality the greatest crimes after WW2 were done by Serbs.'

So tell me B92, why was this blatant lie by an albanian allowed to be shown on your website while you continually censor any show of Serbian patriotism on here?? I would really like to hear your justification here.

Ben, I have some news for your warped view of history. Serbs were on the winning side in both world wars, were always on the side of right, you were on the losing side, and you sided with the Nazis, remember the SS Skenderbeg division?? If Serbs treated you so badly in Kosovo after WWII how come you flocked there from albania, and your standard of living was far higher than it is now under the Americans (your rulers)?
We Serbs have nothing to hide, because the truth is on our side, not yours. Our multicultural and tolerant society speaks volumes of the type of people we are, and your barbed wire ghettos and burning of UNESCO heritage sites and hundred year old churches speaks volumes about yours.
Bye the way Ben, you are on the losing side once again, you just don't realize it yet, but you will soon.

Lets get clear here - it is an undeniable fact that a war crime took place i.e.

- hundreds of innocent civilians were forceably removed from Serbia's southern province of Kosovo & Metohija and taken to Albainia

- that in itself is a war crime!!!

The failure of KFOR (NATO) and UNMIK in preventing and fully investigating what happened to these innocent Serbian citizens in Albania is a complete damnation upon the so called "humanitarianism" of the NATO countries who have aided and abetted in creating this war crime!

What ever precise evil has befallen (organ harvesting or not) these innocents who are missing and can only assume killed given the length of time only further blackens the morality of those involved (KLA) and bystanders (NATO) who allowed this war crime to occur and the more they block justice the greater the stain!

A war crime has happened and NATO aided and abetted in it - this is an undeniable fact that cannot be hidden any longer. This alone is a war crime that NATO must answer for!

"The report in question has information that could prove exceptionally important for the course of the pre-criminal proceedings currently under way, especially since new testimonies from witnesses of the human organ trafficking have emerged in the meantime, along with the details about camps and mass graves in Albania where those kidnapped in Kosovo were buried."

Now there are mas graves in Albania????
How ridiculusis this is.....?you're acusing the Kosovo freedom fighters of war crimes protecting their homes and familys armed with AK-47s raping Kosovo Serbs heavely proteced by Serbian military tanks?I cannot believe how high the level of stupidity is in this case that nobody but in Serbia believes it .

Of course UNMIK hides data because UNMIK all together with KFOR knew what was happening but did nothing to prevent it. In one or another way UNMIK and KFOR were and still are the participants in the hideous crimes against the Serbs in Kosovo province. How else they could justify Albanian terrorism before the war and brutal rampaging after the war in Kosovo province? How else they could justify shameful Ahtisari plan and land grabbing? How else they could justify appointing war criminals as provincial leaders?

But there are the people who know what kind crimes were going on then and what kind of crime is still going on in province. There are people who actually wrote about it and their writings will stay forever as a truthful piece of testimony as a piece of their own experience and what they have witnessed while serving in Kosovo as members of different kind of organisations. One day, these testimonies will be of great importance when Kosovo project is about to fail. And that will happen rather sooner than later.

this is one of the most pathetic propaganda stunts from the serbian politicians to date (and there are many).

To take this issue this far, without concrete evidence on it what-so-ever, except serb 'politicians' word, is hilarious.

There are ten thousand innocent kosovar civilians missing from the 99 serb onslaught, do the Serbian politicians care about their whereabouts?!

Serbian politicians should face up to what they have done, and recognise kosovo. Avoid further humiliation.

There was investigation by Hague.

There is currently investigation by EC.

All your war crime pres. needs to do is to relax and stop with the theatre going to some yellow Serbian n. papers and telling the "truth".

You will never manage to twist the reality the greatest crimes after WW2 were done by Serbs.

Your leaders ARE in Hague your Presidents was the first president charged for war crimes. These are FACT- you can run but you cannot hide.

While your heroes (criminals for the entire world) are in jail- ours are recognized by the greatest democracies of the world. This is FACT- you can run but you cannot hide.

I am not naive I know the political and admin limits of Thaci or Haradinaj- but I would vote them 100 times. For the simple reason: they were the sons that defended their mothers, daughters, wife’s from criminals. They deserved recognition for their nobility even if it for one term (as I hope), and more over because you Serbs hate them- since they defeated you (Koshara and other places) or at least you didn’t manage to defeat them (they are alive and kicking).

this is one of the most pathetic propaganda stunts from the serbian politicians to date (and there are many).

To take this issue this far, without concrete evidence on it what-so-ever, except serb 'politicians' word, is hilarious.

There are ten thousand innocent kosovar civilians missing from the 99 serb onslaught, do the Serbian politicians care about their whereabouts?!

Serbian politicians should face up to what they have done, and recognise kosovo. Avoid further humiliation.

There was investigation by Hague.

There is currently investigation by EC.

All your war crime pres. needs to do is to relax and stop with the theatre going to some yellow Serbian n. papers and telling the "truth".

You will never manage to twist the reality the greatest crimes after WW2 were done by Serbs.

Your leaders ARE in Hague your Presidents was the first president charged for war crimes. These are FACT- you can run but you cannot hide.

While your heroes (criminals for the entire world) are in jail- ours are recognized by the greatest democracies of the world. This is FACT- you can run but you cannot hide.

I am not naive I know the political and admin limits of Thaci or Haradinaj- but I would vote them 100 times. For the simple reason: they were the sons that defended their mothers, daughters, wife’s from criminals. They deserved recognition for their nobility even if it for one term (as I hope), and more over because you Serbs hate them- since they defeated you (Koshara and other places) or at least you didn’t manage to defeat them (they are alive and kicking).

"The report in question has information that could prove exceptionally important for the course of the pre-criminal proceedings currently under way, especially since new testimonies from witnesses of the human organ trafficking have emerged in the meantime, along with the details about camps and mass graves in Albania where those kidnapped in Kosovo were buried."

Now there are mas graves in Albania????
How ridiculusis this is.....?you're acusing the Kosovo freedom fighters of war crimes protecting their homes and familys armed with AK-47s raping Kosovo Serbs heavely proteced by Serbian military tanks?I cannot believe how high the level of stupidity is in this case that nobody but in Serbia believes it .

Peggy let me remind you WW2 ended 64 years ago and there is no reason not to have a good relationship with Germany.
Btw they have apologized for the crimes committed by the germans during the war.

Of course UNMIK hides data because UNMIK all together with KFOR knew what was happening but did nothing to prevent it. In one or another way UNMIK and KFOR were and still are the participants in the hideous crimes against the Serbs in Kosovo province. How else they could justify Albanian terrorism before the war and brutal rampaging after the war in Kosovo province? How else they could justify shameful Ahtisari plan and land grabbing? How else they could justify appointing war criminals as provincial leaders?

But there are the people who know what kind crimes were going on then and what kind of crime is still going on in province. There are people who actually wrote about it and their writings will stay forever as a truthful piece of testimony as a piece of their own experience and what they have witnessed while serving in Kosovo as members of different kind of organisations. One day, these testimonies will be of great importance when Kosovo project is about to fail. And that will happen rather sooner than later.

Lets get clear here - it is an undeniable fact that a war crime took place i.e.

- hundreds of innocent civilians were forceably removed from Serbia's southern province of Kosovo & Metohija and taken to Albainia

- that in itself is a war crime!!!

The failure of KFOR (NATO) and UNMIK in preventing and fully investigating what happened to these innocent Serbian citizens in Albania is a complete damnation upon the so called "humanitarianism" of the NATO countries who have aided and abetted in creating this war crime!

What ever precise evil has befallen (organ harvesting or not) these innocents who are missing and can only assume killed given the length of time only further blackens the morality of those involved (KLA) and bystanders (NATO) who allowed this war crime to occur and the more they block justice the greater the stain!

A war crime has happened and NATO aided and abetted in it - this is an undeniable fact that cannot be hidden any longer. This alone is a war crime that NATO must answer for!

First was the so-called yellow house, now it's Tirana and Skopje.

My guess is that next ones are either Podgorica or Sofia, maybe even Sarajevo.

So, this old chestnust off Albanians harvesting Serbian organs raises it's head again. What a load of rubbish. This ispurely an anti-Albanian rhetoric.
May I suggest the readson that the report has been 'sat on', is because acusations, once investigated, where shown to be false.

'You will never manage to twist the reality the greatest crimes after WW2 were done by Serbs.'

So tell me B92, why was this blatant lie by an albanian allowed to be shown on your website while you continually censor any show of Serbian patriotism on here?? I would really like to hear your justification here.

Ben, I have some news for your warped view of history. Serbs were on the winning side in both world wars, were always on the side of right, you were on the losing side, and you sided with the Nazis, remember the SS Skenderbeg division?? If Serbs treated you so badly in Kosovo after WWII how come you flocked there from albania, and your standard of living was far higher than it is now under the Americans (your rulers)?
We Serbs have nothing to hide, because the truth is on our side, not yours. Our multicultural and tolerant society speaks volumes of the type of people we are, and your barbed wire ghettos and burning of UNESCO heritage sites and hundred year old churches speaks volumes about yours.
Bye the way Ben, you are on the losing side once again, you just don't realize it yet, but you will soon.

Good post Princip. Glad to see that the entire Serb body of politicians and civilians encourage the ongoing investigation to continue and are not intimidated by their enemies.

Second, I find that Ben's reason is flawed in terms of critical thinking. Consider his rhetoric, ie: "Thaci defended Albanians from Serbs, therefore it is justified to persecute and murder Serbian civilians for profit.

This kind of reasoning only galvanizes Serbian resolve even further and shows what the Albanian view of human life, and of minorities really is. This is why they can never rule over Serbs in Kosovo. You rule your own areas, we will rule ours, but Serbia will remain defacto Serbian--all of it.

I am disappointed that there is no outrage from the general Albanian population as well. In fact, it is in the "average" Albanian towns that the Serbs are forced to live behind barbed wire.

how do you except from Albanian people to believe the made up Serbian propaganga about a "yellow house" fairy tale? 12,000 people dead,over 2,000 missing,800,000 chased out of their homes and still you have the sense to ask Albanian people to support your propaganda??

I meant to say that Kosovo can never be independent because Serbs will always have parallel institutions and the right to have them under international law. Otherwise we can be sure that more atrocities, kidnappings and murder will occur. I am disappointed that there is no outrage from the general Albanian population as well. In fact, it is in the "average" Albanian towns that the Serbs are forced to live behind barbed wire.

Atleast your comment is civilised. Though, I must point out a few things. As much as I hate to say it, and as much as people might resent me for it, "sorry" is just a word. Sorry is a word used to express remorse for an action which has been performed without proper thought, and thus, has dire consequences. Sorry doesn't bring people back.

Whats worse is that, which most people wont even acknowledge, serbs were also victims of genocide and war crimes, yet no one is willing to face up to the fact. People find it too easy to point the finger of blame at serbia. It isn't right, people died, and they deserve justice. It's people like western politicians, and ben, that really push things over the edge. To deny a crime ever happened, despite proof of it, is the most down right pathetic and disgusting form of behaviour a person can express.
I dont deny that crimes were comitted by the serbs, but i sure as hell won't stand by and let people blame us for everything. Yugoslavia wasnt brought down by serbs or croats or bosnians or any of the balkan people, rather the west. Communism was a disease in their eyes, and it needed to be quarantined. So much for democracy.

Unfortunately, the turkish were not and are not natives of the balkans. There is no proof of your existence before the turks. Maybe albanians were there, but even if they were, they must have been a tribe of less than 10,000 people. There simply isnt any proof to support the claims that they are descendants of illyrians. Not to mention the fact, even though serbia was ruled by the ottoman empire, the country never accepted islam. albanians, based on the mosques that are in parts of kosovo and almost all of albania, are muslims.

you live free, yet you keep us caged up, as if we're animals. We are kept behind barbed-wire, our churches are demolished, and our cemetaries are defaced. Yet, when have we done any of those? Why is it that you can cry about abuse against you, yet any form of crime comitted against a serb is simply serbian propoganda. Albanians are propoganda, nothing more, nothing less.

You can deny all you like until the missing pages surface.
What happened to the missing pages? Who took them and why?
Aren't these legitimate questions here?

Ben, your comment is a joke. I have even more reason to believe that god doesnt exist, no one could make such a fatal flaw.

Yes World War Two. did you forget to mention that over 700,000 serbs were slaughtered in camps? That those resposinble such as ante pavelic were protected. ante pavelic ended up being protected by the vatican itself, he was priest there. So much for you and your western world.

Our leaders? Did you ever forget to mention that people like Milosevic never lifted a finger, yet they were prosecuted for the crimes committed by other people.
Thats why KLA leaders are now leaders. What kind of system promotes genocide and allows criminals to rule.

They were the sons who had people dress in yellow striped pants and adidas jackets, then gave them weapons. Albanians defending serbs? What have you been drinking? Im sure they protected us, with barb wire, whilst burning down our churches and defacing our cemeteries.

Tesla,

This is the EU fudge - imposed partition only they havent told the ethnic Albanians yet!

There are some ethnic-Albanians who realise what is happening is not happening just in Zvecan, Zubin Potok, Leposavic and Mitrovica but across the whole of the UN recognised Serbian province. However, the majority of ethnic -Albanian posters and in those in Serbia's province are happy enough continuing to be duped with Disney fairytale stories about independence!

Which is fine for now but the EU really need to be careful with this policy - thankfully when all hits the fan in 18 months, Serbia will not be the scapegoat of the 90's!

For now this clear and unequivocal war crime needs to be answered for by NATO and their skivvies KLA!

Oh what a tangled web the EUS weave...

Illyrians has come to refer to a broad, ill-defined[1] "Indo-European"[2] group of peoples who inhabited the western Balkans (Illyria, roughly from central Albania to southern Pannonia) and even possibly Messapia in Southern Italy (if the Messapian language is to be considered an Illlyrian dialect[3]). Illyrians[4] were part[5] of the Hallstatt culture.[6][7][8][9][10]

In theory, Illyrians are defined as speakers of the Illyrian languages, but since the latter is practically unknown, this entails the danger of a circular definition. The existence of a broad "Illyrian" ethnic identity in the past is uncertain, and some argue that the ethnonym Illyrioi came to be applied to this large group of peoples by the ancient Greeks, Illyrioi having perhaps originally designated only a single people that came to be widely known to the Greeks due to proximity.[11][12]

Indeed, such a people known as the Illyrioi have occupied a small and well-defined part of the south Adriatic coast, around Skadar Lake astride the modern frontier between Albania and Montenegro. The name may then have expanded and come to be applied to ethnically different peoples such as the Liburni, Delmatae, Iapodes, or the Pannonii.....

I don't follow Tito's history, I don't follow the most well known history books, i consider history books to be biased. History books take into account what people had said. The perfect example is the spanish conquest of peru led by Francisco Pizarro. The Battle of Puná, for example. Was faught by a hand full of spaniards, who were not even soldiers, leaving three Spaniards dead and 400 dead or wounded Punians. In even more battles, 200 Spanish as opposed to his 80,000 tribal warriors, and supposedly the spanish won, without assistance.

i could sit here and point out a trillion different flaws in history books and the alike. Illyrians might have been in the balkans, but there is absolutely nothing to connect albanians to them. The albanian people, as what they have known to be for the last while, can only be traced to the turks.
