Policemen hurt in Corsica demo

Well, if the ICJ rules that Albanian unilateral declaration of independence is legal and in the line with the International Law and UN chart, only thing for Corsicans and Scots and any other nation in the world who seeks independence, to do is to unilaterally declare its independence and no one could say that move will be in the breach of any law.

I wish all enemies of Serbia maximal success and luck as they fight each other.

What will France do if the Corsicans declare independence? Same applies to Britain over Scotland.

If Corsica were to declare independence unilateraly, Serbia should call a meeting with the French ambassador and tell him, 'We will recognize Corsica unless you rescind your recognition of Kosovo, monsieur.'
They will look at things differently when it actually affects them directly. That is called 'realpolitik'.

If Scotland, Corsica, or any other nation/ nationality wanted to secede from a union they would have ample opportunities to do so. Frankly our Serbian friends do not wish to hear that argument.

I would mention Kurds tough. I know for you this could be an anathema, but as we know, there is even an independent Kurdish region against all odds in Northern Iraq. It is not supported because it would weaken Turkey (thus: weaken the grip around Russia, thus: not beneficial for American geopolitical game).

Secondly, I would mention the entire Trianon Treaty as such. Worth to read and see the parallels.

And please read again:

"With the creation of customs barriers and fragmented protective economies, the economic growth and outlook in the region sharply declined; which in the end culminated in a deep recession"

Sounds familiar.

And now you have 10% customs in Kosovo going to... to whom, actually? I am not sure. What you may need is the guarantee to be not in the situation to be prosecuted just because you are Albanian. You do not need a formal border with Serbia.

After the shock wave of the "no" to referendum on 6 July 2007 on the new status of the Island of Beauty, 85% of Corsicans do not want the island to become independent as against 9% who are in favor!

Corsica Nazione
You are wasting valuable time here my friend. There is no point in trying to explain to our Serbian friends that the base for every secession movement is popular legitimacy. If Scotland, Corsica, or any other nation/ nationality wanted to secede from a union they would have ample opportunities to do so. Frankly our Serbian friends do not wish to hear that argument.

Independence to everyone - twice on Sundays!

And what France do in response to your blackmail? CUT every penny in aid and investments. That is called 'realpolitik'.

Ataman you old rogue, you have again mistaken cake for a piece of byrek.
I was primarily referring to European ideal of democracy and liberalism. These is a secessionist movement in every European island, Sardinia I think has a stronger claim than Corsica, none of them very likely to succeed.
Loved the car by the way, wrong choice of color I thought, not ideal for the old dusty Balkan track. Nonetheless Autolarja will always have a loyal friend in you. As for the next time, I’ll upset if you pass through my village and don’t stop.
Kudistan I though that was the exclusive domain of our Flying Dutchman nonetheless I have a story for u that I’m sure u’ll enjoy, (it involves snakes).

“Other Kurds have associated the Kurdish Newruz with a Persian legend but manipulated the origin of
certain figures in that legend to suit Iraqi Kurdish national objectives. If you ask Kurds of Iraq today what
is Newruz; they will immediately reply, "it is the celebration of the victory of Kawa the Kurdish smith over
the cruelty of the Assyrian king Zahak." According to the Kurdish version of the legend, two snakes grew
on the shoulders of the Assyrian King Zahak, which caused him much pain. Each day these snakes were to
be fed the brains of two children to alleviate the king's pain. Every family had to contribute in feeding the
snakes by scarifying their children; thus, people hated the Assyrian king and could not tolerate seeing their
children being killed. Kawa has already sacrificed 16 out of 17 of his children previously; however, his turn
came again to sacrifice his last daughter. Kawa thought how to rescue his last daughter and tricked
everybody by presenting the brains of sheep instead of children. With time, the other people began to
practice the same trick while the saved children were hid in the Mountains of Zagros. Kawa trained these
children on how to become fighters and depend on themselves. In time, Kawa turned the children into an
army and one day they revolted and marched towards King Zahak's castle and Kawa smote the king with
his hammer and the two serpents withered. Kawa then climbed to the top of the mountain above the castle
and lit a large bonfire to tell all the people of Mesopotamia that they were free. Hundreds of fires all over
the land were lit to spread the message and the flames leapt high into the night sky, lighting it up and
cleansing the air of the smell of Dehak and his evil deeds. The fires burned higher and higher and the
people sang and danced around in circles holding hands with their shoulders bobbing up and down in
rhythm with the flute and drum. The women in bright colored sequined dresses sang love songs and the
men replied as they all moved around the flames as one [12]. Although many groups celebrate Newruz
(Nuroz), Kurds state that it is especially important to them as it is also the start of the Kurdish calendar and
that it reflects the Kurds own long struggle for freedom”.
