"Cyprus backs Serbia completely"

We know Cyprus is a true friend and they understand what we are going through. All the best!

Rocky, Cyprus fully backs Serbia with its EU veto meaning Kosovo will never have a chance of joining the EU as anything but a province of Serbia.

I am very pleased to have the support of Cyprus. It is much better than the empty and useless recognition of say Micronesia and other powerless islands.

We only need one EU member on our side but it's a great bonus to have 5 instead. RIP Kosovo independence.

Tex Willer your comments are unhelpful and innaccurate.
I and im sure other readers would like to know how Greece, Cyprus, Romania, etc. are breaking international law.
Unless you can point out specific points where these honourable nations, who fully back Serbia, are breaking YOUR law then please keep your comments within the Albanian cafe where you hang out all day.
The only country I know of that has broken international law is Turkey, Kosovo and FYROM.
Call a spade a spade.

Alban,

I'm sure Milo Djukanovic thought the same way about his "golden ticket" to the
EU, when...surprise, Montenegro's candidacy application gets torpedoed!
By FRANCE, among others.
If Croatia can't get in , after being an EU suck up/candidate for the past decade, what hope does Albania have? NADA! By the way Cyprus (among other EU states)just said that they fully back Serbia - so what makes you think Cyprus wouldn't torpedo Albania's
EU candidacy application, especially given Albania's
illegal/immoral position on
Kosovo? The SAA is not EU candidacy, sorry to burst your fantasy bubble, but Albania isn't getting into the EU anytime soon.

"ZK, how will Serbia join EU again with Germany, France, UK and Italy STRONGLY for Kosova? Oh you can't. No IMF money either if USA wants."

Alban, these countries do support Kosovo, but define "strongly". If they "strongly" supported as you say:

1. They would have voted "no" in turning Kosovo's status over to the ICJ. Instead they abstained.

2. They would have officially declared that Serbia cannot get into the EU unless it recognizes Kosovo. No state has ever made that claim.

3. They would have pushed for the establishment of EULEX without making compromises with Belgrade.

Aside from Albania itself, I can't think of one country that "strongly" supports Kosovo's independence beyond keeping it on the map with a slightly different color scheme to differentiate it from the rest of Serbia. Your scenarios are more pie in the sky than anything concrete.

Cyprus,Greece, Spain, Slovakia and Romania are backing Serbia completely!!!

They are backing Serbia because they have same problems in their yards.

Those states show that they defend the International law but why they are in a same union with those that brake this law.

Alban, Serbia does not need to be an EU member and will do far better out of it. Once this so-called Serbian government is out, EU membership will no longer be a priority.

The simple fact is Serbia does not need handouts like the Albanians. We haven't put all of our eggs in the one basket and if you think Albania is going to join the EU any time soon, you really need to wake up and come back to reality.

Don't take it the wrong way though as I really hope Albania joins soon. I can just see all of those illegal Albanian immigrants in Kosovo and many others fleeing to Albania and claiming their EU citizenship. Europe will be flooded and that is the reason Albania wont join any time soon.

Backs Serbia completely with what. Funniest comment in 2009.

>> "Rocky, Cyprus fully backs Serbia with its EU veto meaning Kosovo will never have a chance of joining the EU as anything but a province of Serbia. "

ZK, how will Serbia join EU again with Germany, France, UK and Italy STRONGLY for Kosova? Oh you can't. No IMF money either if USA wants.

Albania will apply this year for EU after having its SAA approved by ALL countries. You delay, but if Albania gets in before Serbia your EU fate is really sealed. Albania is a month away from NATO membership as well, that helps with EU tremendously.


Greece will recognize the minute France really pressures them, France is their only main ally against Turkey. Slovakia and Romania need a $$ bailout soon from EU's big boys and their attitudes will come crashing down.

Alban,

If Albania would join the EU before Serbia, do you think Albania would block Serbia's entry into the EU?

Cyprus has no more rights than Kosova to be a republic. The size is equal to a town, language and culture Greek. Half of the island are Turkish. Cyprus should be the very last country to speak about what is right or wrong when it comes to others. Now wander why Turkish side have their own state.

"Serbia wont never let enter Kosovo in to EU"

Do you really believe that?

I just want to remand you that we are recognized by the most strongest economical,political and influential countries in the world (US,Canada,Australia,Japan,S.Korea,EU,)

I almost forgot former Yugo republics our dear friends.

Next Serbia and Bosnia who knows !and finally why not.

Thanks B92

Peace

"Cyprus will always back-up Serbia". Just like they always did before. During its bombing when even a Cypriot vote at Nato HQ would veto the attacks, or the opening of Cypriot diplomatic office in Pristina, or never objecting to any resolutions in UN for attacking Serbian forces. Didn't they say the same thing related to recognition of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia etc.

Cyprus Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou said on Tuesday in Belgrade that his country "backs Serbia completely".

Does Serbia need such a backing? Cyprus is like Serbia in the sanse that part of its territory is under foreign occupation, bached by the local majority. Yet that wher the differences end! Cyprus is not a nation state. It is a two national state, with each of the nationalities having a "mother" state. So it is really much more like BiH than like Serbia.
The gratest desire oth the Greek Cypriots is to unify the island, recover lost properties in the North etc. Yet the new generation of Greek Cypriots understands that to achieve this they would have to uccept a two-national state! It does not place a mortal danger to their greekness since there is a Greek national state! Similar is the situation with the Bosnian Serbs.

If we want to consider similarities, then Cyprus and Kosovo are probably the most similar situation. Both states have two sets of "parent" states, Greece and Turkey for Cyprus and Serbia and Albania for Kosovo.
The uniqueness in Kosovo's case is that the WEST felt that their strategy for Cyprus didn't really work and now they wanted to try an different approach, that will likely work just as poorly.

Cyprus' opinion does infact carry a great deal of value with it, however, the WEST doesn't ever consider looking for the "best" option, but rather the "best-for-the-west" option.

Since the WEST (namely US in this case) subplanted camp Bondsteel in Kosovo, it is imperative that they keep it under their control and influence, hense the "best-for-the-west" option.

As much as I'd like to say that we in the WEST care about the rest of the world, our elite rulling class does not. They don't even care of the people that they're suppose to be governing.

All of these speculative, and accuastory comments are simply a waste of effort because the elite ruling class will solve it how they see fit, regardless of anyone else's issues or opinions.

We are all just useless pawns in their great game of world domination.
