Serbs protest at Albanian rebuilding plans

K-Serbs should understand Kosova is democratic and who ever has the right of their houses should be allowed to rebuild their property. What is wrong with them? Time to wake up Thaçi, another soverign state [Gambia] recognized your state yesterday, its time showing its sovereign and start protecting your ppl.

"KFOR troops will have to take responsibility for any incidents that might take place in Brđani, warned local Serb representative Siniša Lazić. "

Is this guy a comedian? let the people build their homes!!!!

Kosovo is so democratic that less then 5% of Serbs have been able to return and rebuild their homes 10 years after the war, while Albanians have no problem.

All displaced people regardless their nationality MUST go back and repossess their properties and continua with their life.

All criminals that want to ban this must be arrested. They are inciting interethnic intolerance.

Not one albanian home should be allowed to be built until all the Serbs that were ethnically cleansed under the eyes of KFOR are allowed to return. Not one.

Pejoni,
How much drug money did it cost to bribe the banana republic of Gambia to get this recognition?

serbs should hold on until their 200000 brothers are allowed to return to their homes, for this is a typical kfor/albanian provocation; it seems that it is much more important to settle a few albanians, than to allow the return of 2/3 of kosovo serb population (multhiethnicity at its best!)

Let the 250.000+ Serbians who had their homes stolen and destoryed by the albanian terrorists come back and rebuild their homes!

These Serbs are still living in refugee camps!
They must be allowed to come BACK to KosovO and rebuild their homes FIRST!!

I absolutely agree that everyone should be allowed and even supported to rebuild their homes; Albanians, Serbs, Roma, everyone. I’m really sorry for those families who really want to go back to their property but because of the politics they can not. So, to me, it’s all up to politics, while those poor families live in camps or in basements with minimal living conditions.
If Serbian government really wants those people to come back to Kosovo then this is pretty simple; just tell them Kosovo is your homeland and all your problems should be addressed there, through Kosovo’s institutions. I’m sure that international donors, apart from the Kosovo Government, would support this process.

Dragan, if you think it is so easy to bribe a country to recognize Kosovo, then why doesn’t Serbia offer some more money so these countries can revoke their decisions?

How much drug money did it cost to bribe the banana republic of Gambia to get this recognition?
(Dragan, 8 April 2009 15:31)

Yes dragan, every couintry who recognized Kosovo, was paid with a drug money. Even USA, Canada, Germany and many many more countries were paid with drug money. If Kosovo had so much money, it would be the richest place in Ex Yugoslavia. Now Gambia is banana country it's not a puppet country like maldives, or palau.

Dear Albanian friends,
The amount of cynicism coming from your Kosovo Albanian "goverment" is staggering. They have no right to demand nothing until all those thousands of non-Albanians that were expelled (about 250,000) return to their homes, many of which we know have been taken and occupied by Albanians.

"How much drug money did it cost to bribe the banana republic of Gambia to get this recognition?"



Thanks for reminding me. THANK YOU GAMBIA! Banana republic or not, we don't care. Again, thanks Gambia!

Protest is completely justified. Why! Because this is the way of governement of Prishtina to expand their rule in northern Kosovo dominated by Serbs. On the other side they are doing everything to disable serbian refugees to get back to their homes southern from the Ibar river. Serbs cannot cross that bridge in Kosovska Mitrovica without fear let alone they can return their property in predominantly Albanaian southern part of the city.

So this is nothing more but the well planned provocation.

As always, numbers tell everything. Let's assume there are 10000 Albanian refugees and 100000 Serbian ones. Each Albanian family has average 20 family members, the Serbian one has five. It means for every Albanian returning family there is going to be 40 Serbian's. For those 5 families trying to resettle in K. Mitrovica it should be 200 Serbian families settling back in K&M. Hey, Serbs, are you there?

“The locals have the backing of citizens and the municipal and district presidents. The protests will continue until an agreement over this problem is reached,” said Lazić.

I mean how stupid do you have to be to say such thing, i bet there is no reason for them to protest except because they are alabanians. This is well out of order, this has to be stoped law and order for everyone.

I understand that some people are irrational when it comes to such matters in which they have a passion to hold a certain position, but I am surprised that their people with authority hold these same positions.
I have never heard an Albanian politician saying that they are against a Serb building his/her own home.
In fact, tax money has been supporting their return, meanwhile the perpetrator state called Serbia is living in denial and has made no reparation toward the families of those people it murdered mercilessly. "Democratic and sovereign" Serbia has no program for Albanians driven out of Preveso valley, but only has programs for its militarization. Its people nonetheless are duped by propaganda coming from their own goverment; propaganda paid by their own tax money.

Ah the times we live in.

I don't know why Kosovo's government is paying for Serb reternee's houses, when these Albanian folks are prevented to rebuild their houses with their own funds. All people in Kosovo should have the right to return to their houses, no matter what their is their nationality. As far as the number of Serb returnees go, appointed minister for Kosovo Bogdanovic(from Serbia) said few weeks ago that "there are 15% of us(Serbs)in Kosovo", mathematiclly making 330000 Serbs in Kosovo.
As far as bananas and Gambia, Gambia has both bananas and seacoast, Serbia has neither seacoast nor bananas. The only thing I can think of Serbia has for the moment is "Plazma" keks which eyes to sell them in Kosovo.

I support the rights of people to return to their homes, no matter what their nationality.

However, I see returns as a two way process. I don't accept that its right that only Albanians have the right to return to Serb majority areas or vice versa. Both must happen.

PZ you start your comment reasonably then go on to refer to some kind of loyalty pleadge for Serbs if they want to return to their homes. I'm completely against that, those that want to return to their homes do not have to make those types of political decisions.

If we keep treating people in a politicised way, how will they ever be expected to behave reasonbly. It must just be that some people just want to return to their homes, and that they are SICK of the politics that has punished them so much.

“If we keep treating people in a politicised way, how will they ever be expected to behave reasonbly. It must just be that some people just want to return to their homes, and that they are SICK of the politics that has punished them so much”.
Bganon, that’s absolutely what I meant. The return process has been politicized and it is being politicized. Politicians are playing and using these poor people to gain some points for themselves. Serbia should push Kosovo Serbs to try and integrate in the main flows in Kosovo, and not make their life harder by encouraging them to boycott Kosovo Institutions. Like it was the case with some villages which were cut electricity; instead for the representatives to go and talk to Kosovo Institutions they went to Belgrade, because that’s how they were encouraged to do. But did this solve their problems? I don’t think so.

"The Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) abducted civilians in Kosovo who were then mistreated and in some cases killed, a BBC investigation has found. [Along with Serbs,] ethnic Albanians and gypsies were among an estimated 2,000 who went missing."

VS

"1,500 Kosovo Albanians are still missing from wartime, when Serb security forces carried out many, well-documented atrocities against the majority Albanian population."

So how come I don't see any KLA members being prosecuted by the ICJ even though the numbers clearly show that the KLA are just as, if not more, responsible for a number of atrocities?

Those opposing the rebuilding of houses seems to advocate those Albanians whom burned the Serbian house in March to have finish "the job" in northern Mitrovica. Shame on everyone whom is afraid on rebuilding!

I can't see any problem with Ethnic Albanians rebuilding their homes.

However I do have a problem until Serbs are allowed to start returning, reclaiming their rightful land and rebuilding their homes that were stolen.

Keep up the protest fellow Serbs, Mitrovica is Serb and will stay that way until Kosovo goes back to Serbia.
I cant believe that K-Albs think that Serbs could ever live under Albanian rule, maybe in Never Never Land?

This mess created by USA and NATO wont be solved until final separation between Serbs and Albanians. So, Northern part of Kosovo should secede and join Serbian proper and the rest of Serbs living in ghettos should exchange their land and houses for the same number of Albanians from Presevo valley in Serbia. The Greeks and Turks did the same thing in 1921 and so should we, to close this sad chapter in Albano-Serb relations.

Kosova Police should stop and arrest the members of this serbian group.

Protesting against people who want to return to their houses, pathetic.

By the way, these are people who want to return to their homes and should be supported just like Serbs returnees. Only difference is that Serbs have sold their properties so there is nothing to come back to.
One more issue is return of Albanians to Medvegja. Is Serbia doind anything about this? 10's of thousands of Albanians that use to live in Medvegja and sorroundings
are still living in Kosova as refugees.

To Pejoni,
Can you please not use words which meaning you do not understand or choose to ignore, like democracy. Kosovo at the moment is not even "D" out of Democracy and thanks to people like yourself is probably the only pure ethnic teritory in Europe. So much for humanitarian intervention...

here we go again! k-serbs in action paid by belgrade

Here's the thing. It's pointless for those remaining few Serbs to even try to live in northern Kosovo and not recognize Kosovo's government. Why? Because if they don't, and only recognize the Serb government, then in about 10-15 yrs the Serbs living there will simply disappear. How? By shear population growth. Albanians have a rate of population growth two or three times higher than those of Serbs. A few thousand Serbs is nothing for Albanians; their population increases by tens of thousands every year. Eventually, they'll naturally go to northern Kosovo and nobody could stop them. Certainly not the old and aging Serb population living there. So the Serbs have to either accept Kosovo's government, or move to Serbia since they'll be naturally dispersed anyways.

K-Serbs should understand Kosova is democratic and who ever has the right of their houses should be allowed to rebuild their property. What is wrong with them?
