Serb caught trying to smuggle Albanian teens

Strange...Why flee from prosperous Kosovo? These albanians must be really really desperate to get away from that province. Asking serbs to smuggle them out is a sigh of utter desperation.
Let me guess: Milosevic propaganda!

Imagine if it was the other way around. If an Albanian national was trying to smuggle Serbian girls:

1. Tadic would call for a meeting of the Security Council;
2. Jeremic would lobby in the Kingdom of Zululand for the expulsion of Albania from the UN.
3. Russia would consider it an act of ethnic cleansing and immediatly invade Transdienester as an act of revenge.
4. Ban Ki mon would issue a new 7 point plan to appease the Serbs and the Russians.
5. The Serbian Academy of Sciences would issue entire collections of books and Serbian painters would draw paitings of this mass exodus.

etc, etc

It would be more of a story if a Kosovo Albanian was trying to smuggle Serb teenagers into Albania (willingly).

Still, it's nice to see the 1999 'ethnic harmony' goal of Lord Portakabin (or whatever George Robertson is known as now) finally come to fruition.

Multi-ethnic gangs also seem to be working very well together.

Glad that these kids weren't charged or held - they are so young, especially to be travelling on their own.

... smuggle four Albanian nationals into central Serbia from Kosovo.

They fled Albanian for a better life in Kosovo. After seeing the missery in Kosovo they flee again. This time to Serbia. This story is priceless...:)

Albanian nationals? Romas maybe? Were they travelling willingly?
And finally, B92, Isn’t this called human trafficking?

Strange, you and others dont seem to understand the article. It states Albanian nationals, meaning from Albania and not Kosovo.

This is human traficking. The man who drived them has broke the law because this kids are to young to travell. How did a serbs meet with albanians kids ?? That's the main question.

Nick, why would anyone want to be smuggled into Albania?

"They fled Albanian for a better life in Kosovo. After seeing the missery in Kosovo they flee again. This time to Serbia. This story is priceless...:)"

what's priceless is your method ot thinking. Albania has at least double the GDP per person than Kosova, so why would one "immigrate" to Kosova? They were crossing through serbia to leave to Western Europe.

Are you implying that Serbs kidnapped them? Maybe they were thinking of removing their organs too.
