Bolton: Kosovo issue not closed

Of course the Kosovo i Metohija issue has not been solved.

I feel that a great deal could be acomplished in both KiM and BiH if the USA, the UK and the 'Greater German' EU states kept their noses out of Balkan politics. Haven't they done enough damage already?

As an outsider, I can see these 'evildoers' trying their best to set Serb against Serb in the antiquated policy of divide and rule.

MB,Ireland

Finally even the Americans realize that there can be no peace until all sides can accept a solution.

"...former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.."

B92,

Please help us in here who is more relevant in politics Bolton or his previous boss George W Bush and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

I understand that the Serbian panel would say Bolton because....I don't know why...))))

Do you think any of them actually matter to Serbs? clinton x2, obama, bush, biden, darn even all the "most powerful countries in the world" according to albanians all said the Serbia's southern province is independent and Serbia replied with NOPE and the reality is even if all those fools in washington say its different the fact remains that they keep coming to Serbia begging for us to change our minds and keep coming to Serbia to negotiate and beg for eulex to be allowed into our country's southern province.

bolton, b92 are you serious?

the guy did not even make ambassador. Ask him why?
because, Vice President Joseph Biden, then chariman of the foreign committee in the senate, told him "you're not for the job, get a shovel"

"...former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton.."

John Bolton? The FORMER ambassador to the UN? That man who was a complete failure during the Bush years is now doing interviews LOL? C'mon now. I'll take the words of Obama (president), Joe Bidden (vice president), and Hillary Clinton (secretary of state) over John 'the former' Bolton any second of the day on any galaxy of this universe.

At least Bolton is not a paid lobbyist for Albanian expansion in the Balkans like some of Obama's team. Some change!

Bolton's correct. First, Albania hasn't given up on finishing the absorbtion Kosovo into the oxymoric "Greater Albania." Second, the economy is so bad for all the subsidizing countries of this experimental "multi-ethinic" Kosovo, that the economic situation there will not get better but will be probably worse. Aggravated by watching the new Kosovo elite, the Albanians supporting this debacle will drop significantly with boat loads running to Italy for further distribution. I think Bolton is stating the obvious, despite the popular denial of the EU and NATO.

The issue of Kosovo is far from being settled. Anybody would see this if they were honest with themselves. 54 recognitions? So what. the Palestinians have 100, and how do they live? What kind of power does this imaginary Kosov"a" government have in the North and the enclaves? None! So all of you Kosov"a" UDI supporters, do yourself a favor and ask yourselves what has been accomplished in one year. Ask yourselves how many memberships to international associations do you have, why is your new "country " still divided and why are your supporters are not putting forth the effort that they did as in previous years.

If you really believe that the U.S. is "begging" Serbia for anything, then why is Serbia accepting all the aid sent to her from the West.

isn´t it sweet how our dear k-albanian friends are desperately trying to belittle the position and personal reputation of Mr.Bolton...seemingly just because he´s saying something that doesn´t fit into their narrow-minded greater albanian illiusion?

Of course the Kosovo issue is not closed. Kosovo is Serbia because international law says so. All Serbs say so. Kostunica says so and Tadic and Jeremic trail along with him and say so. The Serbian Orthodox Church remembers to say so. Bolton says so. Many many countries of the world say so. Russia says so. Most importantly of all Bishop Artemije and His clergy and His followers of whom there are millions say so.
US will have to go back to drawing board with their KLA friends and talk with government of Serbia and its citizens for solution but final decision is respect for sovereign territory of Serbia and Serbian government must not sell anthing that is entrusted to them by the citizens of Serbia and it's diaspora.
Kosovo is Serbia
May God give us all the gift of love and peace

The best solutions for Serbia and Kosova is to put their differences aside and accept the reality. There is no going back. Within a few years there will be free trade and movement of people in most of the balkan countries. Serbia is taking a hard line on the Kosova issue but US and EU have already made their minds up on this case. Serbia will only find itself isolated and powerless in matters regarding Kosova. I

>>> "Asked about future initiatives that could bring Belgrade and Washington closer, the former UN ambassador said that the Obama administration should use the NATO summit planned for April to "strengthen trans-Atlantic ties, including with the Balkan countries".

Let's see: Albania will join NATO in April so kiss any closer NATO ties to Serbia goodbye unless Serbia wakes up, admits responsibility and accepts reality. NATO works by consensus, just ask Cyprus

The US is bankrupt. They are not going to spend money on the fake narco terror state. They would like to but are going to be too busy burying their bones in Afghanistan/Pakistan. New NATO ally ALbania will be footing the bill with a few bodies as well to prove their loyalty. SOunds just like WWII to me.

My fellow Serbs don't forget you humanatarian obligations to our people in Kosovo and Metohija. I know you do but we need to dig deep. Things are going to get tougher and tougher all over.

BOLTON ... lolz

Kosova is a done deal but of course bolton you would know better. You're one of those people like a lot here who have NEVER been to Kosova and yet talk they are experts just because they read a pamflet somewhere.

Look, Bolton is a highly respected American individual, in and outside the United States. He cannot be dismissed as a pro-Serb nobody. I'd also like to remind the Kosovo Albanian supporters that during the Kosovo separatist government's recent trip the the United States, while Thaci and Sejdiu both met with Secretary of State Clinton and Vice President Biden, I don't believe they met with Obama. Now, I'm not 100% sure although I did search Google for images and didn't find any of the two men shaking hands. Why is that? I find it quite odd that these two leaders were in Washington yet they didn't meet the President??? I think that is more than a meaningless coincidence. Although Obama has unambiguously stated his support for Kosovo, I think his failure to meet with the Kosovo reps indicates that either he doesn't see Kosovo's plight as a very important issue, or he doesn't want to offend Serbia. I may be wrong, but it's certainly interesting. Now, it could also have something to do with his chief of staff, given that Rahm Emanuel was co-chair of the congressional Serbian Causus http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/il05_emanuel/serbian_caucus.html. At any rate, it's interesting.

A day after the international court convinces Serbia about crimes and terror in Kosova we have the same old immoral Serbian politics:

behave as nothing happened, deny the evidence and cry injustice. Ask from someone of the Serbian well paid clown lobbyist to give as much as possible ambiguous statement.

Well OK let's take Mr. Bolton's judgment as credible.

But in the best case scenario after this UNAMBIGUOUS VERDIC of the International Courte Kosova's case is STRONGER than ever. You want to speculate over this???

OK than,

The following step here is that Kosova sues Serbia and asks compensation. As well as ALL Kosovars that have lost the dearest’s and properties from this now recognized Serbian state crime.

All according the INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Nothing more nothing less.

Bolton is private citizen just like me and everybody else,his opininon wont change US positions on anything whatsoever he thinks.He needs some money forsure and wants some funds from Serbias budget because they have a lot to waste lately
