Martin , NATO did not want to destroy Serbian army.
Your comment makes me laugh and all your talk about Croats and Albanians not having their armies.
NATO tried but they failed.
Nato did win. All the goals it wanted to achieve were achieved, namely:
1)Return of all the albanian refugees in Kosovo, 848 thousands. By November 1999, 820 thousands were already back.
2) Withdrawal of the Serbian army and police from Kosovo. As you can see, it was achieved.
3)Deployment of a UN-led mission to administer Kosovo. UNMIK was deployed.
4)Deployment of a Nato ground force to guarantee the agreement, as it was obvious that without a military power in place to enforce agreements with Milosevic and his elite, those agreements wouldn't have been worth the paper they were written on. Sort of what happened with the cease-fire and withdrawal of Serb forces from Kosovo in late 1998. Milosevic signed that too, KFOR was deployed. He wasn't all that crazy after all, in the end he cared a little bit about his people, he surrendered (google Kumanovo Agreement). It could have gone on much longer, it could have been much worse for the Serbs. Thank god (or Milosevic?) it didn't happen. He and his people led you into war as sheep, making you believe you were lions, while stealing your future and money, and those of your neighbors.
(B92, you can cut the last phrase if it offends you.)
Regarding your tanks, good for you you still have them, take care of them so they don't get rusty.
Rada Trajkovic declared for FONET agency that it was the serbs who were making the troubles in Northern Mitrovica.
She also appealed to some serb organizations and government institutions in Belgrade who are behind these attacks to stop doing so because this will only make things worse.
The inlfation of the sacrifices during the war from K-Alb is of a normal nature. Every nation does that. Of course K-Alb could not defeat Serbia's Army, simply because K-Alb did not have a regular army, they were a guerilla force. Yet, they were smart enough to succeed in achieving their goal, through force and diplomacy.
Serbia's advantage in many conflicts in the region has been the fact that Serbia had control over or had a regular army while the others didn't. As we saw in Croatia as soon as Croats build their own army, serbian side lost the war.
Further, NATO's aim was not to distroy Serbian army, but rather to scare it away from Kosovo. That they did achieve.
Couldnt agree more Mike. The fact that 20 Albanians feel the need to attack 2 serbs in N Kosovo tells you the extent of their intellectual capacity.
Happy New Year all!!
(Niall O'Doherty, 5 January 2009 09:57)
Well, this is a very "logical" argument as well.
It tells us that because Serbs have a "higher" intelectual capacity, there has never been a case in history where 10 or 20 Serbs get together to beat 2 Albanians, or Croats, or Bosnians ..... pretty amazing.
People of northern mitrovica
albanians and serbs,start looking for better life, can't you see that goverment of serbia and prishtina don't give a blank about you.I wish you good luck hope one day we get along with wich other......
I wonder if the albanian readers saw pictures of palestinians demostrating in Belgrade. There are also lots of Chinese people living in Serbia, not to mention all other minorities like hungarians, croats, bosnians, albanians, romanians, bulgarians, ukranians, etc. And albanians talk about a racist Serbia. How many minorities are left in Kosovo efter the albanian ethnic clensing on all non-albanians? And you dare to call your selves democratic and civilized. Albanians are nothing but hatefull and jelous!
Everyone in their clear mind would know that if they had been attacked by 20 people they wouldnt get slightly injured.Please B92 stop this propaganda against K-Albanians and start writing the truth.
you ( both, Serbs and Albanians as well ) should not waste your precious time on the question of bravery or cowardice...
there are simple criminals and decent and honest people on both sides, I think that should be clear without mentioning...
but what should be noticed, indeed... , is that there are some troubles ahead again, and the K-albanians do not look quite good here... seems like the socalled hero´s taci, haradinaj and ceku are exercizing the only thing they can ( remember, finally they are only simple criminals ) : inflicting incidents and stirring up trouble.
but there is no western country sending out it´s airforce to do the dirty work for you anymore!
Please B92 and the other Serb poster could you explain me how on earth you get Assaulted by 20 people and end up lightly injured??????
I mean common people this is brainless.. If you want to make a story up than come up with a better script that this one..
With out doubt the Serbs at least would had know one name out of 20. After all they live in the same neighbourhoods and well know to each other.
That's if we assume that was an indecent.
According to the previous posters, whenever Albanians outnumber the Serbs, they assault them!?
Serbs live in Gracanica, Sterpce, Peja region, Gjilan...and they are surrounded by Albanian-inhabited areas. They are outnumbered in every single sense. However, except for Mitrovica north, ethnic incidents do not take/have not taken place anywhere else for a long time? I was just wondering how come? If Albanians hate Serbs, they would assault, beat them up, or kill them elsewhere, too. But all these incidents happen just in Mitrovica. Isn't all this orchestrated? Yes it is and that is very bad for the Albanians and Serbs undergoing this terror in Mitrovica north. Milosevic and Arkan are dead, but their theories and last wishes are being ipmlemented on daily basis.
How do we know that the attackers where K-Albanians?
Milosevic started its campaign in pre-planned stories of attack etc which never happened.
I dont belive this story at all because it past tells us ao.
As for those thar talk about the bravery of 20 civ. VS 2 civ, what do you think about Serbian army during the occupation of Kosova 1990-1999, 60000 troops VS unarmed K-A population. I think that this is bravery he
Whatever the reason, Serbs outnumber Albanians 9 to 1 north of the Ibar, so these Albanians who are taking part in the conflict are either assured of some form of support from Pristina, or some of the stupidest people in Kosovo.
(Mike, 5 January 2009 05:19)
Couldnt agree more Mike. The fact that 20 Albanians feel the need to attack 2 serbs in N Kosovo tells you the extent of their intellectual capacity.
Regardless of who caused what, where, or how, it's becoming clear to me that the cause of violence is being orchestrated by parties not in Mitrovica. I wouldn't be surprised if one of Thaci's underlings were behind this, though I could just as easily see local Serbs attempting to either test EULEX before deployment, or cause a situation in which Belgrade feels compelled to take more direct action itself.

"Again Alex, the reason those Albanian shops were attacked was because of retaliation for attacks by the Albanians on the Serbs in the first place.
Stop making trouble and nobody will report it. It's as simple as that."
However, Peggy, on many occasions, I distinctly remember you stating that retaliation was, to your high civilized standards, considered primitive and barbaric, or, does that only apply to Albanians.
Alex, please feel free to go on Kosova Report Daily for "unbiased" reporting. Why do you waste your time here?
L.O.G.I.C. You will try to twist anything posslbe in order to discredit any Serbian statement. There was around 20 Albanians, this is approximate, as nobody has time to count heads when their own heads are being bashed. That's why you will always get 10, 20 etc instead of an exact number, but I suspect you already knew that.
How brave of the Albanians. They either attack youths and again, this was one 16 year old against two men or they make sure they are 10 to 1 before they dare pick a fight with Serbs.
Again Alex, the reason those Albanian shops were attacked was because of retaliation for attacks by the Albanians on the Serbs in the first place.

The Serbian state machine is suddenly in frenzy action.
The provocations (well coordinated it seams) have multiplied, and Serbian media is doing it’s best to portray the situation in Kosovo (particularly in the north) untenable.
Looks like the Serbian state have come to understand that the six point plan they negotiated with Zanier was the Trojan horse to let EULEX in, and now with the conflict escalating in Gaza they feel that time has come to go for the final kill:- Partition of Kosovo.
So twenty albanians attack two Serbs. That sounds about right, not suprises there. When they don't have NATO fighting their battles for them, they like to stab 16 year old Serb boys in the back, or have a pack of them attack a couple of grossly outnumbered Serbs whose car broke down.
Yeah, real 'brave' of them. Shame.
Although I am sure this is going to be censored just like every single other rational comment or complaint I have had against B92, I will post it anyways..
It is hypocritical that B92 write a whole story about Albanians attacking Serbs, but not even once mention throughout the whole story that Serbs have provoked and attacked and burned Albanian stores in northern Mitrovica.
Yes, you mentioned that there was more violence, but the way the article was written, someone less informed would think that it was by Albanians as well!
its an estimate..not an exact number..they didnt have a chance to count the total number of people beating them because they were trying to save their own lives... its impressive that albanians need groups of 20 or more to just attack 2 Serbs...but please know that all this will come to the albanians 2 fold...do you believe in a thing called KARMA? The day will come when the Serbian army comes into its southern province and takes care of all these tough, strong albanian gangs that beat defenseless Serbs. KOSOVO JE SRBIJA!
albanians are weak they need 20 guys to fight 2 Serbs, and the 2 were lightly injured. what happened to the albanians they ran away and got a beating lol this is just like a comedy show.
Wow you Albanian posters really have your act together... anytime something comes out that makes kosmet Albanians look bad you start crying about the propoganda. Let me guess Slobo wrote this article from his grave?
