"Kosova is not a monstruous creature but made of 95% Albanians and less than five per cent ethnic minority population. The population is the the youngest and healthiest in Europe.

And please explain to the panel here what exactly did you mean by "healtiest nation"? Did you statistically calculate amount of green lettuce eaten per head of population and established Albanian supremacy?

How wrong you are! Every single one of these countries recognized Taiwan until 1972 when they broke off diplomatic relations with that country and recognized communist China instead, including China's claim to Taiwan.

Kosova is not a monstruous creature but made of 95% Albanians and less than five per cent ethnic minority population. The population is the the youngest and healthiest in Europe.

>> "the US will soften their approach towards Serbia in the future, since they simply need Serbia "on board". and the Albanians can only sit and watch while they are being outplayed again."

Please elaborate, on board for what? EULEX is 100% in Kosova, NATO has secured the region 100%, and Serbia stopped talking about the "6 points." Srpska isn't going anywhere, Stewart Jones scared Dodic to death; Dodic changed his tune 30 min after the meeting. Why was Croatia and Albania pushed to join NATO? Kosova and Bosnia, bot have interested there, and that becomes a NATO issues automatically. US /EU has gone above Serbia, now Serbia is desperate to join EU and NATO. All EU has to do is threaten to let Albania in EU before Serbia. Albania gets along with all countries, is a NATO member and has had it's SAA for 3 years and now 100% ratified. Serbia has so many conditions (Mladic, EULEX, CEFTA, Kosova recognition is the last one) and 80% of EU recognizes Kosova, Albania has to keep its head down, work hard and build relationships with it's NATO partners (Germany, France, UK, Italy) in NATO meetings. The last one Merkel and Sarkozy met with bot Albanian and Croat leaders. Those 350 Albanians in Afghanistan and the previous ones in Iraq do count for allies.

With Tadic, never say never, especially when he has no other choice.

and the Albanians can only sit and watch while they are being outplayed again.

as for this super-smart comment by stallone: you seem to have the same kind of intellectual approach like the real Stallone would have in regard to the K-issue.

southern Serbia is only temporarily occupied, and no power in this world can take it away from Serbia.

China,Russia,India,Brasil... and the list goes on and on...

they all will take care that international law will be exercised.

just a question of time.

beside the fact that there are 200,000 illegal passports that have been miss-issued. And again this news is not reported here in B92. However,,,,
(ben, 10 April 2009 15:24)

ben, please explain to us all how it could be illegal for Serbia to issue 200 thousand passports to its own citizens of the southern province Kosovo? K-albanians came vouluntarily to Nis and other towns to get a passport from the state they are citizens in, hardly nothing illegal here. And B92 have reported about this, you must have missed it, no one is hiding anything exept maybe Koha Ditore and skender hyseni that says that Spain and Russia will recognize Kosovo LOL!

"I guess you need not be a genius to understand that the new applicable EU-U.S. summit policy is to help the Balkan countries join Euro Atlantic structures as independent States, and Kosovo is mentioned as such separate from Serbia. The wording of this sentences speaks of the direction ahead."

Duh! The only thing holding Serbia back would be Serbia. The idea that 2 million Albanians will just accept Serbia as their ruler again is a pipe dream and US is working night and day to secure more recognitions.

Serbia's future EU integration depends on recognition of Kosova as independent.
EA

In that case both Serbia and Kosovo will be left out of the EU. You know as much as everyone else that Serbia will never recognize the permanent occupation of its holy land of Kosovo.

The closer Serbia gets to Russia, the more these weasels in the EU try to be entice Serbia that they really are our 'friends'. Stick with Russia I say, they are the true allies who are defending Serbia's national interests and her territorial integrity. I will not be impressed by these immoral Eurocrats until they rescind recognition of that fake, illegal and immoral 'state' on Serbia's soil. They can keep flapping their gums and throw us more carrots all they like, but they need to change their German influenced Serb hating policies if they want to have a decent relationship with Serbia.

"NATO and EU integration go hand by hand. The first one means you take the benefits of the second but you must assume responsibilities- with the first."

What a load of rubbish. Where exactly in the acquis communautaire (go look it up on google if you don't know what it is) does it state this?

The same with the comment about recognizing 'Kosovo' before joining the EU.

Where on earth do you lot get these ridiculous ideas? Or do you often get your opinions mixed up with fact? Or is it just part of the wider delusion?

There are no benefits to joining NATO unless you think that it is a great way to lower your unemployment rate by sending your men to Afghanistan and Iraq.

NATO is in an advanced state of necrosis or has no one noticed that Gul of Turkey threatened a veto over NATO's next SecGen? It is riven by division and different strategic outlook.

Why join a dying organization that goes from crisis of identity to crisis of identity?

It now spreads its mandate even further than before to allow itself to intervene wherever it likes. It believe it cannot survive without war.

"In the interview, titled “Obama’s Diplomacy is Geared towards Serbia’s EU Integration“, the daily conveys the minister’s belief, fortified at the recent EU-U.S. summit, that “Obama’s America“ is in favor of opening the doors to Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo as soon as possible."

I guess you need not be a genius to understand that the new applicable EU-U.S. summit policy is to help the Balkan countries join Euro Atlantic structures as independent States, and Kosovo is mentioned as such separate from Serbia. The wording of this sentences speaks of the direction ahead.

Yeah, right...
Nothing substantiall will change me thinks with Clinton at the helm. I mean, didnt she lie quite recently about her trip to Bosnia during the war, when "the bullets were flying above her head when she landed at Sarajevo airport..." and then somebody played the footage on USA TV showing the above visit in complete opposite light(even the local kids choir singing!)and then she had to publicly apologize!!
Serbia has to forget about all such crooks and patiently continue with their national strategy of fast economic development and justice for Kosovo Serbs.

NATO integration was a “sensitive“ point in Serbia and that “as is well known, there is no united position on it in Serbian public opinion and it is not frequently discussed.“

“We give priority to Serbia’s EU integration,“ Frattini added.

NATO and EU integration go hand by hand. The first one means you take the benefits of the second but you must assume responsibilities- with the first.

I know that Serbs would love to take benefits of EU and not to assume any responsibilities with NATO and it is obvious that many pro-Serbians in Europe would be willing to accept that.

It is not the first time that Europe is watching between the fingers to Serbia not the last Serbia is in advanced position for visa liberalisation beside the fact that there are 200,000 illegal passports that have been miss-issued. And again this news is not reported here in B92. However,,,,

Serbia's future EU integration depends on recongnition of Kosova as independent. It is as simple as that. Otherwise Serbia can rely on North Korea, Lybia, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela, Sudan or on the weight of 30% of World's GDP contributors.
