Albania’s Berisha visits Kosovo

Please, Kosovo is not a province. Dont use that word for a country that is independent and recognized from Worlds most powerful countries.

You have to accept it some day!

“The Shengjin port is now Kosovo’s exit to the sea,”

That's something Serbia will never have.

Berisha is in Kosovo for the grand opening of the new tunnle that will smuggle drugs and humans through Albania and Kosovo to Europe. Big day for drugdealers in Albania and Kosovo. Congratulations!

Albanians should indeed unite within 1 country, and that should contain parts of Macedonija too.
Great Albania would be born once again.

(KING ALBO, 6 October 2009 17:17)

I thought Kosovo was a multi-ethnic, unique state according to Albanians.
Not an Albanian state.

So why should this multi-ethnic state merge with Albania?

Welcome Prime minister , and hope that your next visit to Kosova is as Prime minister for the entire nation.
God bless Kosova.

Sali the pharaoh of pyramid schemes.

Some good baby steps are being taken.

Berisha's visit in Kosova is indeed very meaningful. Aside from the different protocols signed (despite some folks here being angry about it) the most important thing to emphasize is that Kosova and Albania people are ONE nation, in spirit and identity even though they live in two different countries.

As for the ones worried about the Serb minority - Don't! They have all the constitutional rights that any minority in the world could dream of. They choose to live the way they do.

Now please go ahead and take care of the Albanians in Presheva valley and don't discriminate them, before you lose that small piece of land as well.

"VIVA SALI BERISHA

Very important statement from PM Berisha. Albanians should indeed unite within 1 country, and that should contain parts of Macedonija too. Great Albania would be born once again."

And The West keeps either sleeping or turning their heads the other way so they do not have to see for which "noble" cause they created a truly new monster (Et tu, Albo?). It seems to me that a new Balkan War is getting more likely and to all the Albanian readers here the following: you will be the biggest losers of that war and it will put you back to where you belong: on earth instead of on the pink cloud you have been on for the past 10 years or so.

Since when this province can sign deals on behalve of its country (Serbia)?

Time for the UN to tell Kosovo provincial government that UN is in control. Not them!

Welcome to Serbia Mr. Berisha!

VIVA SALI BERISHA

Very important statement from PM Berisha.
Albanians should indeed unite within 1 country, and that should contain parts of Macedonija too.
Great Albania would be born once again.

It is also very important for Kosova to loose the puppet of serbia, hashim Thaqi, since he is no good for the albanianis.

The real leader would be PM Ramush Haradinaj

KING ALBO...

Both politicians mentioned multiple countries and partners. Nowhere was said "Greater Albania."

Of course you're right. Just remember that when the second leg of the Merdare - Prishtina - Durres highway is finished, Serbian businesses may well find that port useful too...just like those "smuggler" Albanians.

Is not it wonderful to see Albania and Kosova to move forward, towards their ultimate goal, and become a country that we have alays dreamed of......unlike from serbia , we must do it peacefully.

God Bless Kosova.

Please tell me how this produces anything other that pleasuring the ego of two Albanian apparatchicks? I mean this is probably the only time Thaci can actually feel like an honest leader. In any other situation, he's either overuled by EULEX, EULEX is writing his scripts, or he's kowtowing to some Western official.

But if it fosters closer cooperation with Tirana I suppose that can't be a bad thing. I mean at the end of the day, we'll see a Belgrade-Mitrovica-Gracanica network on one end and a Tirana-Pristina network on the other. Fair is fair I guess, but let's not be under any pretense that this is a cooperation between two countries.

"The Shengjin port is now Kosovo’s exit to the sea,”

That's something Serbia will never have. (Pejoni)"

-- You mean the actual Shengjin port, or any port? If it's the former, then you are correct. If it's the latter, rephrase your statement. There's this little entity called Montenegro and a little port called Bar that is open to them (it's practically owned by them).

Please, Kosovo is not a province. Dont use that word for a country that is independent and recognized from Worlds most powerful countries.

You have to accept it some day!
(Naim from Sweden, 6 October 2009 17:51)

Naim,

My friend, be wise. 1244 is still valid. Meaning Kosovo is still a Serbian province. Learn to get over nationalism. Kosovo is part of Serbia. Like a lot of Dutch speaking parts of our region are now in Belgium and even France.

Get over it! Please!

The real leader would be PM Ramush Haradinaj
(KING ALBO, 6 October 2009 17:17)

If you wanted a mass murderer why not go for Charles Manson. At least he is famous.

"Please, Kosovo is not a province. Dont use that word for a country that is independent and recognized from Worlds most powerful countries."
Naim from Sweden

If Kosovo is independent why is it run by EULEX? Why is it not a member of the UN? Why doesn't it have representation in sports? In other words, it's and will always be a province of Serbia.

Ilir Meta FM of Albania meet Vuk Jeremic FM of Serbia at Visegrad Forum in Budapest thats the way of cooperatin in the Balkans .

Great news, our southern province will now enjoy the benefit of having sea access and become as rich as Albania!! Oh dear!

Seriously though, Albanians do have an opportunity to united within the same country only when they decide to make Albania a province of Serbia. That seems to be one step closer today!

SALI BERISHA and Ramush Haradinaj.

KING ALBO, have you heard about yellow house in Albania?

Sali the pharaoh of pyramid schemes.

"The Shengjin port is now Kosovo’s exit to the sea.
That's something Serbia will never have."
Pejoni

Somalia has sea access too! The only good thing the sea has brought albanians is that it is easier for you to escape the hell hole you call Albania. Who doesn't remember when millions of poor and starving albanians fled Albania. With this new port even albanians from Kosovo will get the oportunity to leave their failed society. I guess that's the only "white schengen" you will get. Ha ha ha!http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9703/17/albania.update/index.html

of course berisha and thaci don't say in public that they want GREATER ALBANIA.they have their plans don't worry.

BIG ALBANIA IS COMING!

(remember noone say the truth in public;noone is an idiot to do that--they always have their secret plans)

Welcome to Serbia Mr. Berisha!
(Dragan, 6 October 2009 21:28)

Dragan,

Let us look at your welcome note closer:
1. Was he invited by Serbian president to visit “Serbia”? – NOPE – He was invited by Kosovo Parliament
2. Did he land in Belgrade/Serbia – NOPE – He landed in Kosovo
3. Was there any Serbian Parliament member to great him – NOPE – There were Kosovo Parliament members.
4. Did he sign any agreements with Serbia – NOPE, but he did with Kosovo
5.
So with four “NOPE’s” Dragan, where does Serbia come in the game?

Sali the pharaoh of pyramid schemes.

If you happen to hear or read tomorrow that somebody drowned well you should know that someone recalled your comments in the pool.

"As for the ones worried about the Serb minority - Don't! They have all the constitutional rights that any minority in the world could dream of. They choose to live the way they do.

Now please go ahead and take care of the Albanians in Presheva Valley and don't discriminate them, before you lose that small piece of land as well.
(Tirana, 6 October 2009 22:14)"

Tirana,

Please stop copying Serbian slogans ("all the constitutional rights that any minority in the world could dream of") and so try to be a little bit more creative and honest (the reality in the ground is quite the opposite). In addition, please enlighten us how Serbia is going to loose Presevo Valley (and not Presheva Valley) and to whom? Will Kosovo and/or Albania invade Serbia or will NATO do their dirty work again? Or will the KLA be reactivated and "liberate" Presevo Valley from "evil" Serbia? Will Presevo Valley become part of Kosovo or Greater Albania? You just worry about what is going on in Albania and leave the silly comment business to people like Kosovo-USA and other infamous Serb-haters who have nothing better to do.

szemi worte: "Sali the pharaoh of pyramid schemes".
It is not important if it is Salih or Fatos Nano, the most important is "The PM of Albania".

the term "Great Albania" has been misused a lot.
as ex foreign minister of Germany Frank Walter Steinmyer said: when Germany was united, no one said Great Germany, cos it was together once, divided and the again together. Kosovo and Albania wont unite, cos there are different international agreements that stop them, but even if they do, there will be no Great Albania, but just Albania, cos they were together once. so, for u who predict great conspiracies, stop doing it. its worthless. Kosovo and Albania will become one eventually, but this will happen when all the actual politician will be too old or too dead so anyone cares about them and their points of view. it took Germany 40 years to unite, so Kosovo and Albania have all the time in the world to do the same.

Kosovo is and will be never be in the future Serbia.
There is no international law that said that an independent state must be in the UNO to be independent.Former-Yugoslavia ruled by Milosevic was from 1992-2000 wans't memeber of the UNO. there are a theory based on the three elements that justified a state to be independent; they are a state territory,people of this state(that considered that state as hers)and a security force(who protect the borders and interior peace).Kosovo has fullfield all this criteria.

That Serbia is still claiming on the territory of Kosovo is a contretemps of a history of unfairness infront of Kosovo and his people.

moral and other philosophic values has nothing to do with the right of mankind to proclaim there freedom and independency.

Kosovo is, based on facts (not on documents and wishes without no matter), as independent as is Serbia,Macedonia, Montenegro or Albania.

"provincial" President Fatmir Sejdiu - how sarcastic an ironic could be serbian media!You shouldn't show your bitterness through coverage. could a "province" signe bilateral agreements on behalf of an independent country.If Serbia is a "true" state, in opposite to the "false" state of Kosovo, so Serbia has to stopp Kosovo acting like a state, what Kosovo is doing every day since 17th February 2009.

Kosovo has now,thanks Tirana, a own access to the sea.Why doesn't give Montenegro a port to Serbia,as a brotherly nation.Nobody trust Belgrade,even not there brotherly nation in Montenegro.

Kosovo and Albania has a function administration with a growing economy.In the past the Albanians has to fought the evil ghosts from the past.Now they are looking to a bright future. the albanians now serves as a good example for the whole region.

These pages are in English and I would like to point out that perhaps there is something lost in translation here: The Albanian word "komb" can be translated into English as both "nation" and "ethnicity".

There is no denying that Albania's and Kosovo's ethnicity is the same, i.e., Albanian. The question is whether Albanians wish to unite in a single nation-state and I think that due to practical considerations most Albanians will not seek a single state.
Independence from Serbia - which Albanians were able to accomplish - was the one and only sine-qua-non.

Mike you like Albanian lands so much dont you.Bar is Albanian land called Tivari in Albanian,80 years ago there was a small minority of Montenegrins and 95%Albanians.You may have the port for a while but not for too long.Be sure on that.Whats Albanian stays Albanian.

Am I the only one who finds the title of this article funny? Does Serbia have a Berisha too?

Something along the lines of "Albania's PM visits Kosovo" would have been adequate but I guess the former is catchy.

A: "Let's make way, we are to meet England's Churchill!"
B: "Why does France also have a Churchill?"

Some might get where this is from.

Mr Berisha is Albania's PM but all Albos say that he is the PM of Albanians in the Balkans.
So far he has proven to be the greatest(possibly another Scanderbeg).

Soon we'll see reunited Albania, just like reunited Germany.

welcome home Mr. President. Serbia owns Albanians much more than just Kosovo, and you are the leader that can united all albanians in the balkans. serbia is to weak to keep the rest of serbia intact.

A: "Let's make way, we are to meet England's Churchill!"
B: "Why does France also have a Churchill?"

Some might get where this is from.
(Ptoleme, 6 October 2009 20:04)

ok, so Ptoleme, pls give me the reference, i am now curious... BTW, it helped me to add a comma, as in:
"Why, does France also have a Churchill?" sorry, just for clarity.

personally, i do not care for this talk of a "greater albania." i do not find it helpful; i think it just provokes the other side (not that it takes much.)

the goal should be multi-cultural democracies that embrace and protect the rights of ALL people. we really have no choice -- one way or another we all live in multi-ethnic countries, and we'd better learn to make the most of it.

of course it is utterly hypocritical to demand full rights for minorities inside kosovo/a, and not have the same demands for serbia, or other countries. it has to be a basic prerequisite for the EU, and should be for any intl assistance.

we don't need a "greater albania" to build a rich and powerful cooperation btwn kosovo/a and albania, or btwn albanians in general.

as i have mentioned before, if albanians continue to be belittled and oppressed in various counties, they will seek out ways to address these inequalities, as they have every right to.

one way or another, we are all brothers and sisters.

Berisha landed in Priština - capital of Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija - part of Republic of Serbia. So - he landed in Serbia.

KING ALBO

Yes you are right, it is time to start shovelling coal into your T-34s and Mig-15s so you can go and achieve your great and amazing Albania.

Kosovo is, based on facts (not on documents and wishes without no matter), as independent as is Serbia,Macedonia, Montenegro or Albania.

(Nelli_Kosova_Canada, 7 October 2009 18:24)

(1) Kosovo is a Serbian province! How can that unite with Albania?

(2) Even IF (!) Kosovo was indepedent: the A-plan states that Kosovo may never merge with an other state.

So even in case of (2) there will never be an Albania-Kosovo merge!

By the way: may South Ossetia then join Russia?

casuaul visitor,
Does the fake, illegal, and immoral 'state' of Kosovo have a seat at the UN?? No, and it never, ever, will.
Therefore, Berisha was visiting Serbia. Nothing I said was incorrect.
Cheers!!

"Albanians should indeed unite within 1 country, and that should contain parts of Macedonija too.
Great Albania would be born once again."

Can't you read? its obvious Berisha is telling them that he believes thy should join EU as two different countries. He just spoke of one nation to make you feel a little better

How come people don't get it, its all about politics and money! Of course he's more than welcome to visit Kosova and meetings with its leaders...
He will be visiting Drenica tomorrow and i am happy to work there tomorrow even that i have to wake up at 4pm... geee... lets go to bed, its getting late

to serbians:
Berisha has already done a deal with serbia for Durres port and the highway is just to allow fazlic and mishkovic to exploit with more efficiency porto romano.
mishkovic has open a supermarket in tirana, and zemun clan is all over albanian cost.thanks to the daughter and the son of berisha who has great connection with bosnoserbs,and has been several time there for his bizness.And cyprus is the place where all the money laundering is done...

To B92,
once this was quite a free media and it was one of the reasons why I have frequently admired some branches of the serbian society. I understand thing have changed, and unfortunatley not in their best sense. Two days ago I tried to send a comment where I was expressing my disappointment regarding the lack of respect for some other's country prime minister, by calling him Albania's Berisha instead of Albania's PM or smth equivalent. I understand you will believe to be in front of an exagerated sensitiviness (and i don't want neither to imagine the reaction of some posters here that just can't wait..), but you know very well which is the point. The only possibility we have, is mutual respect. I am still waiting to see my comment published, but it is possible not to see neither this one. To avoid misunderstandings, I still admire those branches of serbian society, but i can see things are really getting harder for them.

Ron,
You seem to be confusing UN with what Russia, which wants to placate Serbia, wants. And, please don't think that countries that have not recognized Kosovo are all with Serbia. Conclusion: it seems Kosovo is here to stay.

Berisha is in Kosovo for the grand opening of the new tunnle that will smuggle drugs and humans through Albania and Kosovo to Europe. Big day for drugdealers in Albania and Kosovo. Congratulations!

Kosovo and Albania will become one eventually, but this will happen when all the actual politician will be too old or too dead so anyone cares about them and their points of view. it took Germany 40 years to unite, so Kosovo and Albania have all the time in the world to do the same.

Soon we'll see reunited Albania, just like reunited Germany.

(1) Kosovo is a Serbian province! How can that unite with Albania?

(2) Even IF (!) Kosovo was indepedent: the A-plan states that Kosovo may never merge with an other state.

So even in case of (2) there will never be an Albania-Kosovo merge!

By the way: may South Ossetia then join Russia?

How come people don't get it, its all about politics and money! Of course he's more than welcome to visit Kosova and meetings with its leaders...
He will be visiting Drenica tomorrow and i am happy to work there tomorrow even that i have to wake up at 4pm... geee... lets go to bed, its getting late

welcome home Mr. President. Serbia owns Albanians much more than just Kosovo, and you are the leader that can united all albanians in the balkans. serbia is to weak to keep the rest of serbia intact.

"provincial" President Fatmir Sejdiu - how sarcastic an ironic could be serbian media!You shouldn't show your bitterness through coverage. could a "province" signe bilateral agreements on behalf of an independent country.If Serbia is a "true" state, in opposite to the "false" state of Kosovo, so Serbia has to stopp Kosovo acting like a state, what Kosovo is doing every day since 17th February 2009.

Kosovo has now,thanks Tirana, a own access to the sea.Why doesn't give Montenegro a port to Serbia,as a brotherly nation.Nobody trust Belgrade,even not there brotherly nation in Montenegro.

Kosovo and Albania has a function administration with a growing economy.In the past the Albanians has to fought the evil ghosts from the past.Now they are looking to a bright future. the albanians now serves as a good example for the whole region.

"Albanians should indeed unite within 1 country, and that should contain parts of Macedonija too.
Great Albania would be born once again."

Can't you read? its obvious Berisha is telling them that he believes thy should join EU as two different countries. He just spoke of one nation to make you feel a little better

to serbians:
Berisha has already done a deal with serbia for Durres port and the highway is just to allow fazlic and mishkovic to exploit with more efficiency porto romano.
mishkovic has open a supermarket in tirana, and zemun clan is all over albanian cost.thanks to the daughter and the son of berisha who has great connection with bosnoserbs,and has been several time there for his bizness.And cyprus is the place where all the money laundering is done...

Ilir Meta FM of Albania meet Vuk Jeremic FM of Serbia at Visegrad Forum in Budapest thats the way of cooperatin in the Balkans .

Kosovo is, based on facts (not on documents and wishes without no matter), as independent as is Serbia,Macedonia, Montenegro or Albania.

Then what about Abkhazia and Taiwan? Serious answer please!

These pages are in English and I would like to point out that perhaps there is something lost in translation here: The Albanian word "komb" can be translated into English as both "nation" and "ethnicity".

There is no denying that Albania's and Kosovo's ethnicity is the same, i.e., Albanian. The question is whether Albanians wish to unite in a single nation-state and I think that due to practical considerations most Albanians will not seek a single state.
Independence from Serbia - which Albanians were able to accomplish - was the one and only sine-qua-non.

To B92,
once this was quite a free media and it was one of the reasons why I have frequently admired some branches of the serbian society. I understand thing have changed, and unfortunatley not in their best sense. Two days ago I tried to send a comment where I was expressing my disappointment regarding the lack of respect for some other's country prime minister, by calling him Albania's Berisha instead of Albania's PM or smth equivalent. I understand you will believe to be in front of an exagerated sensitiviness (and i don't want neither to imagine the reaction of some posters here that just can't wait..), but you know very well which is the point. The only possibility we have, is mutual respect. I am still waiting to see my comment published, but it is possible not to see neither this one. To avoid misunderstandings, I still admire those branches of serbian society, but i can see things are really getting harder for them.

Welcome to Serbia Mr. Berisha!

Dragan,

Let us look at your welcome note closer:
1. Was he invited by Serbian president to visit “Serbia”? – NOPE – He was invited by Kosovo Parliament
2. Did he land in Belgrade/Serbia – NOPE – He landed in Kosovo
3. Was there any Serbian Parliament member to great him – NOPE – There were Kosovo Parliament members.
4. Did he sign any agreements with Serbia – NOPE, but he did with Kosovo
5.
So with four “NOPE’s” Dragan, where does Serbia come in the game?

Ron,
You seem to be confusing UN with what Russia, which wants to placate Serbia, wants. And, please don't think that countries that have not recognized Kosovo are all with Serbia. Conclusion: it seems Kosovo is here to stay.
