You forgot something: if they stop to blame the others for their failure, they will have to start to blame themselves... and who wants that ? It's more comfortable to live at mom's and dad's house than look for a job and move on... let's go on blaming the Serbs, Albanians, EU, USA, Russia, the pope, etc... for the situation

I find it interesting how this has not been published anywhere else. Though I think that the content of it is positive and good for all the Balkans.

I read everyday news on these medias: spiegle.de, bbc.com, dw-world.de, nytimes.com, economist.com but haven't seen this message mentioned. It could have been a selection only though.

I find it disappointing when I hear that my fellow Balkans still live up to their characteristics of being patriotic, hot tempered and live the present with a mind of the past.

These are the organizations that our countries are cooperating together: Southeast European Cooperative Initiative (SECI),
Central European Initiative (CEI),
Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA),
Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe,
Southeast European Cooperation Process (SEECP) and others such as World Trade Organization or other European and International organizations.

We tend to forget that we have lived in wars with each other for centuries and centuries. Others have always profited from our situation starting with the Western Europe, Russia and Ottoman Empire because we have been so strongly concerned about destroying each other we have ended being used by them for their interests.

The cooperation between the Balkan countries is a must not a choice. We have to know and be recognized for what we are, for bringing civilization to the world and other values such as democracy and others. The only way that the world will recognize our potential, our values and take into account is depended on us.

There should be an end to the ancient ideas of Kosovo being the heart of Serbia or such things. First think about the people who live there, the language they speak and their customs and traditions. About 95% of them speak another language of Serb, have different customs, traditions and cultures. These facts make it not necessary to even look back in the history. If that is true than Serbia is not what we know of being. If its heart is not part of the body how can a body even survive?

Ideas of Great Albania, Great Bulgaria and Yugoslavia has to be forgotten once and forever. It is much easier to live together than to be living against each other with our full potentials.

Finally aren't we seeking the same goals of being integrated into the EU and NATO and living as friends in peace and prosperity.

Thanks,

Albani, are you going to stop blaming Milosevic for another hundre years?
If I hear one more "Milosevic propagada" I will scream.
How the hell is he spreading propagadna from the grave?
Nobody is taking any instruction from him unless they have a medium in their employ.

Please learn to comment or debate on an issue with something more up to date.

Perhaps Kosovo is not as high on the agenda as you would like it to be but that's how policial world turns. Small countries and provinces are nothing more than a commodity to be traded with.

"what Obama said is not true"?

seems like just another Albanian simply cannot accept something that doesn´t fit into his worldview...

@Albani: do you really still dream of building a "state" on other poeples´ territory?

time will teach you something important: the law is stronger than the sword.


some day you will understand the meaning of these words.
