"Serbs should boycott Kosovo elections"

The Priština City Assembly councilors, temporarily relocated to Gračanica, have called on Serbs in the province to boycott the November 15 elections.
--

When do they plan on moving to Prishtina B92, from their "temporary" location? Any idea? Next time ask them, what do they plan on doing about the city's growth, water supplies etc etc. You know these guys decide about a 500,000 people city

It is funny to me that the two biggest Serb haters on here comment immediately. It must really bother them that Serbs will not go along with the "government" of Kosovo. I guess they cannot help but be consumed by this?

Well, let them boycott...why not?

They need to learn the rules of democracy from Albanians before they can vote.

Serbs believe that Russian/Chinese/Cuban democracy is the real democracy.

I would not call it local autonomy, but rather self isolation. why not vote and integrate in Kosova society.
This newly elected Mayor of Prishtina, I wonder which part of Prishtina is he going govern???
(Kosova-USA, 30 October 2009, 12:53)

Like the Albanians did in the 90s? Why not integrate in democratic Serbia?

Everywhere in the world the West opposes independence movements and then Kosovo would be different? I don't think so.

1244 is still valid by the way.

Please do no take in these elections!
The free world thanks you in advance!

Towards a mutual agreed deal in Kosovo!

Peace to all from the West!

And if the majority of UN nations says that let's say the US must give up Texas that must be done also?

International law is clear. And 1244 is still valid. Sorry my friend!

Ron I lived in Texas for 15 years and Imissed the part where the US sent troops in and tried to ethnically cleanse Texas, I missed the numerous UN resolutions trying to stop the atrocities in Texas committed by the US, I missed the necessitated bombing campaign to end those atrocities and I was totally unaware that the UN had forced the removal of all US forces and prohibited any US control over Texas and then mediated talks between the 2 parties without any hope for resolve.
But most of all I missed the wide scale campaign of Texans who want to secede the US. Definitely not even close to a simple majority.
If you have knowledge of this please enlighten us, if not deal with facts not fantasy.

Assembly members from the Kosovo Serb enclave of Gračanica and the surrounding villages think that participation in the November 15 ballot would directly contribute to the canceling of the existing Serb local autonomy.

I would not call it local autonomy, but rather self isolation. why not vote and integrate in Kosova society.

(Ron, 30 October 2009 13:18)

What was in the 90s, Ron? Please enlighten us, because after you did that, I will show you UN Res., reports and exerts of the Yugoslavian constitution where it is explicitely written that Serbia was executing an extreme oppressive regime which violates anything what the UN, the Yugoslavian constituation and honor stands for. The fact that you fail again that shows us that you are only an one-sided agitator for the (right-wing)- Serbian side.

this is a threat to the Serbian people, the self proclaimed ''mayor of city of Pristina'' should be arested for putting fear into people.

“The Priština City Assembly, financed by the Serbian government,…”
It’s interesting to see that Serbia who vehemently supports SC resolution 1244 and it’s all about ‘respecting the international law’ is the one breaking it by supporting parallel institution in Kosovo. May I remind you the elections of these ‘assembly’ members were not supported by UNMIK.

Mr. Nebojša Nikolić (sir).
I looked all around Prishtina for your “Mayors” office.
I wanted to get your view (as a mayor) on Clintons visit and the unveiling of his statue in the city that you “govern”.
Unfortunately could not find your office ….go figure!!!
That confused me to a level that I had to ask people if I was in the right city!!!
Well I was born and lived all my life in Prishtina but this confused me and I actually started questioning myself (no GPS.… you see!!).
In the end I had to give up empty handed.
I guess you are one of these politicians that govern from the distance (just like the infamous Serbian Minister for Kosovo).
I guess if there are all this politicians responsible for parts they never see Serbia should appoint a mayor of Tokyo.
Let’s face it, he will have as much power in Tokyo as Mr. Nebojša Nikolić has in Prishtina.
Just a though.

"I would not call it local autonomy, but rather self isolation. why not vote and integrate in Kosova society.
Kosovo-USA

Why should Serbs who don't recognize Kosovo independence integrate? Why don't we integrate the whole of Kosovo into Serbian society?
If it's isolation it's forced isolation. Outside of these enclaves its a minefield of hostile albanians. Proof of that is the huge Nato presence.

Let them isolate themselfs but don't blame the K. Albanians later, I think it's an opurtunity to integrate into Kosovo institutions and govern your municipalities.

@ Jason

At least the two Serb " heaters" are commenting about Kosovo cos they are from Kosovo but what about you as an " American " what are you doing here every day as an Albanian " heater "? I personaly think you just come here to make people in Serbia and Kosovo more divided not that you care for any of us.

What happened to the flood of recognitions? Did you run out of bribe money or small, banana nations? I laugh at you and your pathetic sneaking into the UN assembly. I read that instead of using your western welfare money to help your people, you hire a public relations firm to "improve your image".

(Jason,

do you ever have anything constructive?
This is not about Albanians or Serbs, this is about radicals that warn ordinary citizens about "conciquences" if they vote.
Dictating from safe heavens for themselfs.
What is more ludacris is that up till now thay have been claiming the field is not right,now its comming to warnings>
First they complain about lack of democracy now its too much democracy.
First they scream more this than that, and now they give free places as "mayors"
If you cant see that Serbia as the last yugo country has its court for former yugo in the hague, the "kosovo minister" in Belgrade, the mayor of pristina in god knows were during his working hours.
Dont you find that commical,but insist on using hate words?
Just dont call the Serbs that vote "traitors", they want to move on, and your hypocracy will not brighten up their future. Their vote will, at least they will have someone accountable, not a mayor that a useless pupet, not a minister that cant get in to kosovo, not a criminal that still is still wanted by a world court. But real represantation.

At least the two Serb " heaters" are commenting about Kosovo cos they are from Kosovo but what about you as an " American " what are you doing here every day as an Albanian " heater "? I personaly think you just come here to make people in Serbia and Kosovo more divided not that you care for any of us.

May want to check your spelling and reading comprehension, my friend. Serb-haters are indeed what many Albanian "contributors" are on this site. Two of the first three posts are from them.

You are free to your opinion, but there is nothing I get out of seeing Serbs lawfully boycott a pseudo government. I am not anti-Albanian, I am just pro-Serb because of what I see here in Kosovo. I know you are shocked (as are many Albanians) to see an American support Serbs. Not all of us are brainwashed by our media or your lobby in the United States. In fact, I meet quite a few internationals that would agree with me, as evidenced by those who have served here and share their experiences in this forum.

Blah, blah, blah you will say... I should be neutral. I was. That is, until I saw how biased and screwed up this whole place is. Makes me sick, really. So like it or not, I am not going anywhere and I will continue to support justice the whole time.

Well, as much as I'm a Serb optimist, I really have to wonder about that "temporary" label of the Pristina government in Gracanica. Located in Gracanica AS Gracanica? Ok, makes sense. Pristina government "temporarily" relocated to Gracanica? Let's not be silly here.

And now, on to the comments:

"If you are refering to Western countries, they did speak allready on behalf of Kosova, with exception of few and we all know who they are.Majority of world democracies has supported Kosova. (Kosova-USA)"

-- No, the governments theoretically support Kosovo, and only tacitly. The vast majority of people people that make up those democracies don't know who you are, are don't really care to find out. Do not equate government actions with popular will, or knowledge for that matter.

"This is not about Albanians or Serbs, this is about radicals that warn ordinary citizens about "conciquences" if they vote. (troika melb)"

-- Regardless of what political orientation these Serb parties are, they are all unanimous in refusing to cooperate with Pristina. Even if they voted on November 15, do you REALLY think they're going to work with Thaci, or do you think they're going to take their newly minted municipalities and run them on their own? November 15 or not, you're going to get three more municipalities with parallel institutions with the Albanians. And rightly so.

"They are the live proof of how Serbia is trying to de-stabilize the whole region. (miri)"

-- Save your predictable propaganda for the pro-Albanian chat sites. I fail to see how a shadow assembly for a city that's 99% Albanian is a threat to security. It's more a joke than a threat. And who are you to ridicule boycotters since the very essence of Albanian-led governance in Kosovo was built on two decades of boycotting?

"Serbs believe that Russian/Chinese/Cuban democracy is the real democracy. (PRN)"

-- Thanks for the daily laugh.

"At least the two Serb " heaters"[sic] are commenting about Kosovo cos they are from Kosovo but what about you as an " American " what are you doing here every day as an Albanian " heater" [sic]? (Mendo)"

-- No, they're diasporas. The worst type of nationalists out there. All fat, dumb, and happy in another country, but dreaming of fascistic glory for a region of the world they have limited knowledge of, yet little desire to relocate to. And what are they doing on a Serbian site as Serbian “heaters”? They serve no other purpose and rarely have anything thought provoking to contribute.

"What happened to the flood of recognitions? Did you run out of bribe money or small, banana nations? (JohnBoy)"

-- Remember, they just spent close to $6 million on a 60 second CNN ad that looked like it wasn't even filmed in Kosovo. Give them time to get more money.

It's all right for these people to boycott. They are nothing but a bunch of losers who in such theatrical and paradoxical way still claim to be the "rulers" of Pristina.
Essentially they are simply Serb agents being paid to cause nothing but trouble and this article is saying precisely that. They are the live proof of how Serbia is trying to de-stabilize the whole region. Ironically Mr. Tadic, just 2 days ago presented Serbia as the "beacon" of stability in the region. These people normally should be arrested as troublemakers, but that's precisely what they are looking for so they can cry wolf about their rights being violated. No one is going to fall for that and frankly there is no need for any such drastic measures. These people, sooner or later, will decompose in Belgrade's rotten propaganda and before we know it they will disappear as they never existed. As long as they are being paid to object anything Albanian, their attitude will never change. That's their business, that's how they are making ends meet. However for the simple everyday Serb the question is how are these big-mouths improving the every day life? As for the political aspect of it, Serbia was incapable to enforce any authority on Kosova even with 40k soldiers on the ground and these losers expect to change all that.
....but the show must go on!

Serbs believe that Russian/Chinese/Cuban democracy is the real democracy.

Sorry PRN, but Serbs know that both China and Cuba operate communist and not democratic systems.

I think that all-seeing eye you have has gone a bit foggy again. Can you polish it up please!

Peace to all from the West!

If you are refering to Western countries, they did speak allready on behalf of Kosova, with exception of few and we all know who they are.Majority of world democracies has supported Kosova.

Ron,
Thanks for reminding us that you are from the west and that Russia is still trying to keep resolution 1244 alive.

@ Jason

First of all English is my third language and I'm sure I make mistakes but the whole point is that you understand what I'm saying.

Second maybe the conditions for the Serbs are not as good as they should be but you have to know that people in Kosovo went thrugh hell before 1999 and it takes time to put things on place but the Serbs of Kosovo need to cooperate I think to make things change. I think you need to go back 20 years to understand the situation in Kosovo right now not just since you are working in Kosovo. But then again you are entitled to your opinion and I'm to mine even though my English is not that good but I'm trying. Take care.

Cheersi

Damn right!
Boycott this monster of Albanian nationalism untill they realise they have to sit down and talk to us directly, so we can finaly separate from each other and get on with our lives.
(TITO, 30 October 2009 15:21)

Tito,

you Serbs keeps saying this "sit down and talk" but last time someone brought up that idea in Beograd your joker politician's quickly jumped up and said "the only thing we'll talk to them (Prishtina) is how big their jail cells will be".

If you are refering to Western countries, they did speak allready on behalf of Kosova, with exception of few and we all know who they are.Majority of world democracies has supported Kosova.
(Kosova-USA, 30 October 2009 14:26)

So? Does that mean that the West makes decisions about other countries' territories?

And if the majority of UN nations says that let's say the US must give up Texas that must be done also?

International law is clear. And 1244 is still valid. Sorry my friend!

Peace to all from the West!
(Ron, 30 October 2009 13:18)

Hey Ron! Which West are you referring to? I mean where is your point of reference?)))
I am in England by the way)))

The fact that you fail again that shows us that you are only an one-sided agitator for the (right-wing)- Serbian side.
(Berkeley, 30 October 2009 16:27)

My friend! I am far from right-wing! I am not Serb at all!

Wrong things happend in Yugoslavia? Yes! But what happenend in Tibet? What happens now in Tibet? Kurdistan? Lot's of countries in Africa?

Again and again I make my point: wrong things happening is not a basis for independence. And if international law is changed so this is (becomes) a basis, then also others can use this. Like Kurdistan and Tibet?

You agree?

"I would not call it local autonomy, but rather self isolation. why not vote and integrate in Kosova society.
Kosovo-USA

Like your people have done. Why don't you practice what you preach?

Jason,

I simply can take a government (US) seriously who allows Kosovo to break off from Serbia but vows Abkhazia to stay in Georgia?

Very awful things happened in Georgia too! And our friend the president from Georgia cowardly attacked South Ossetia.
Still: he is our friend!

Damn right!

Why You don't vote in Republic of Serbia elections and integrate with Serbian state??

It is good that Serbs are boycotting everything in Kosovo.they are losing day after day the legitimation to be,to live and to claim Kosovo.Prishtina is every day strengthening much more the Legal and Justified Independence of Kosovo(LJI).Kosovo will lose nothing without the Serbs if anything!

I just found this link. Serb and Albanian getting married. Lovely!
http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2009&mm=10&dd=30&nav_category=15&nav_id=389747

I just wonder what what it the be comment of Albanians on this forum.

Albanians have boycotted Serbian elections for 12 years so there is no difference Kosovo is Serbia . Albanians are living in a fairy tale.

Peaceful civil disobedience and non-recognition of anything by the K-Alb sections of Kosmet is what is needed. Show the world that the fake state is undemocratic, intolerant and mono-ethnic in structure and character.

Yes, pss, what did the US do with the native Americans who lived in North America?

Talking about genocide?

@Ron,
I bet you work for UNMIK, since you are trying so hard to protect the 1244 resolution. And wouldn't blame you for your comments or better say your prejudice due to the fact that all these changes effect you personally. UNMIK did nothing for 8-9 years in Kosovo. First of all, they never worked in creating or building the common future for people in Kosovo. By people, I mean; Albanians, Serbs, Turks and all the others. It was convenient for UNMIK to keep a tense situation in Kosovo. This way, the UNMIK would extend its life. Good salaries right? It’s hard to give them up… I know this ‘cause I also worked for UNMIK. I’m very well aware of the UNMIK approach to most of issues…

pss,

Of course my Texas example was just for fun.
Please insert Tibet for Texas. And China for US.

Millions died in China! An millinium old culture was and is destroyed by China! And we do nothing!? In in the case of Kosovo we breach internatioinal law? Come on! No double standards please!

And what about Kurdistan?

It is good that Serbs are boycotting everything in Kosovo.they are losing day after day the legitimation to be,to live and to claim Kosovo.Prishtina is every day strengthening much more the Legal and Justified Independence of Kosovo(LJI).Kosovo will lose nothing without the Serbs if anything!
(luis, 31 October 2009 15:53)

So far for multhi-ethnic and multi-cultural Kosovo....

Stop the joke please! Kosovo is just a UN governed Serbian province.

For those who say differently PLEASE (!) show me the resolutions that revokes 1244.

I am waiting...

"Ron I lived in Texas for 15 years and Imissed the part where the US sent troops in and tried to ethnically cleanse Texas"

Pss - Becouse Texas was ethnically cleansed in 19th century. Americans comes into Mexico and then organized illegal american state on the territory of Mexico. And expelled lot of Mexicans. And finally - massacred Natives (Comanches, Kiowa etc.).

But Mexicans back. I belive in some years they will be majority in Texas and should organized independent Mexican Rpublic of Texas. What do You think - should US government recognize this "newborn" mexican state on the US territory?? In my opinion - they will send army for crush separatists. Like Serbia in 1998.

So - Americans are HYPOCRITES!!

International law is clear. And 1244 is still valid. Sorry my friend!

-- Remember, they just spent close to $6 million on a 60 second CNN ad that looked like it wasn't even filmed in Kosovo. Give them time to get more money.

The fact that you fail again that shows us that you are only an one-sided agitator for the (right-wing)- Serbian side.

My friend! I am far from right-wing! I am not Serb at all!

Wrong things happend in Yugoslavia? Yes! But what happenend in Tibet? What happens now in Tibet? Kurdistan? Lot's of countries in Africa?

Again and again I make my point: wrong things happening is not a basis for independence. And if international law is changed so this is (becomes) a basis, then also others can use this. Like Kurdistan and Tibet?

You agree?

Peace to all from the West!

Hey Ron! Which West are you referring to? I mean where is your point of reference?)))
I am in England by the way)))

(Jason,

do you ever have anything constructive?
This is not about Albanians or Serbs, this is about radicals that warn ordinary citizens about "conciquences" if they vote.
Dictating from safe heavens for themselfs.
What is more ludacris is that up till now thay have been claiming the field is not right,now its comming to warnings>
First they complain about lack of democracy now its too much democracy.
First they scream more this than that, and now they give free places as "mayors"
If you cant see that Serbia as the last yugo country has its court for former yugo in the hague, the "kosovo minister" in Belgrade, the mayor of pristina in god knows were during his working hours.
Dont you find that commical,but insist on using hate words?
Just dont call the Serbs that vote "traitors", they want to move on, and your hypocracy will not brighten up their future. Their vote will, at least they will have someone accountable, not a mayor that a useless pupet, not a minister that cant get in to kosovo, not a criminal that still is still wanted by a world court. But real represantation.

Let them isolate themselfs but don't blame the K. Albanians later, I think it's an opurtunity to integrate into Kosovo institutions and govern your municipalities.

@ Jason

At least the two Serb " heaters" are commenting about Kosovo cos they are from Kosovo but what about you as an " American " what are you doing here every day as an Albanian " heater "? I personaly think you just come here to make people in Serbia and Kosovo more divided not that you care for any of us.

I just found this link. Serb and Albanian getting married. Lovely!

I just wonder what what it the be comment of Albanians on this forum.

And if the majority of UN nations says that let's say the US must give up Texas that must be done also?

International law is clear. And 1244 is still valid. Sorry my friend!
(Ron, 30 October 2009 20:23)
Ron I lived in Texas for 15 years and Imissed the part where the US sent troops in and tried to ethnically cleanse Texas, I missed the numerous UN resolutions trying to stop the atrocities in Texas committed by the US, I missed the necessitated bombing campaign to end those atrocities and I was totally unaware that the UN had forced the removal of all US forces and prohibited any US control over Texas and then mediated talks between the 2 parties without any hope for resolve.
But most of all I missed the wide scale campaign of Texans who want to secede the US. Definitely not even close to a simple majority.
If you have knowledge of this please enlighten us, if not deal with facts not fantasy.

“The Priština City Assembly, financed by the Serbian government,…”
It’s interesting to see that Serbia who vehemently supports SC resolution 1244 and it’s all about ‘respecting the international law’ is the one breaking it by supporting parallel institution in Kosovo. May I remind you the elections of these ‘assembly’ members were not supported by UNMIK.

@ Jason

First of all English is my third language and I'm sure I make mistakes but the whole point is that you understand what I'm saying.

Second maybe the conditions for the Serbs are not as good as they should be but you have to know that people in Kosovo went thrugh hell before 1999 and it takes time to put things on place but the Serbs of Kosovo need to cooperate I think to make things change. I think you need to go back 20 years to understand the situation in Kosovo right now not just since you are working in Kosovo. But then again you are entitled to your opinion and I'm to mine even though my English is not that good but I'm trying. Take care.

Cheersi

pss,

Of course my Texas example was just for fun.
Please insert Tibet for Texas. And China for US.

Millions died in China! An millinium old culture was and is destroyed by China! And we do nothing!? In in the case of Kosovo we breach internatioinal law? Come on! No double standards please!

And what about Kurdistan?

It is good that Serbs are boycotting everything in Kosovo.they are losing day after day the legitimation to be,to live and to claim Kosovo.Prishtina is every day strengthening much more the Legal and Justified Independence of Kosovo(LJI).Kosovo will lose nothing without the Serbs if anything!

Ron,
Thanks for reminding us that you are from the west and that Russia is still trying to keep resolution 1244 alive.

It is good that Serbs are boycotting everything in Kosovo.they are losing day after day the legitimation to be,to live and to claim Kosovo.Prishtina is every day strengthening much more the Legal and Justified Independence of Kosovo(LJI).Kosovo will lose nothing without the Serbs if anything!

So far for multhi-ethnic and multi-cultural Kosovo....

Stop the joke please! Kosovo is just a UN governed Serbian province.

For those who say differently PLEASE (!) show me the resolutions that revokes 1244.

I am waiting...

"Ron I lived in Texas for 15 years and Imissed the part where the US sent troops in and tried to ethnically cleanse Texas"

Pss - Becouse Texas was ethnically cleansed in 19th century. Americans comes into Mexico and then organized illegal american state on the territory of Mexico. And expelled lot of Mexicans. And finally - massacred Natives (Comanches, Kiowa etc.).

But Mexicans back. I belive in some years they will be majority in Texas and should organized independent Mexican Rpublic of Texas. What do You think - should US government recognize this "newborn" mexican state on the US territory?? In my opinion - they will send army for crush separatists. Like Serbia in 1998.

So - Americans are HYPOCRITES!!

Yes, pss, what did the US do with the native Americans who lived in North America?

Talking about genocide?

@Ron,
I bet you work for UNMIK, since you are trying so hard to protect the 1244 resolution. And wouldn't blame you for your comments or better say your prejudice due to the fact that all these changes effect you personally. UNMIK did nothing for 8-9 years in Kosovo. First of all, they never worked in creating or building the common future for people in Kosovo. By people, I mean; Albanians, Serbs, Turks and all the others. It was convenient for UNMIK to keep a tense situation in Kosovo. This way, the UNMIK would extend its life. Good salaries right? It’s hard to give them up… I know this ‘cause I also worked for UNMIK. I’m very well aware of the UNMIK approach to most of issues…

International law is clear. And 1244 is still valid. Sorry my friend!
