One hour and forty five minuts to go and then Albanian flags down from official state buildings otherwise big daddy Serbian Police is there to do it for you.

Holiday is about to be over, hope you had a good time.

No arta, kosovo-usa, roberto and other trolls to critisize Serbia for lack of democracy etc. Lately good news about Serbs and Serbia has gotten rid of these trolls. Hope they stay out!

When Albanians were in lands now lived by Slavs, civilized and in control of much of today balkans you guys were hunting tigers in Siberia. Just so you know.

- There were no Slavs in Siberia till 16th Century.
- "Albanians" as such are two very distinct groups. The highlander "Ghegs" are one of the oldest known group in Europe, they settled before Illyrians. The rather coastal "Tosks" are not that different from the rest. Genetically most of the area is a Slavic-Illyrian-Thracian mix, Ghegs excluded.

The idea of Serbs being from Siberia is precisely as crazy as Albanians arriving from Caucasus around 1200.

Otherwise I fail to see any problem flying a certain flag on a certain national holiday. For instance, on the St. Patrick day half of the U.S. is in Irish colors.

And there was a problem because some Vietnamese fly the "northern", some fly the "southern" flag and it causes quarrel. In downtown of S.F. (Chinatown) some places fly the Chinese flag - and to "match" them, other places fly the Taiwanese. The world still not collapses.

But indeed: in Europe the situation is different and the mood can be more explosive. I understand both sides - but I lived long enough in SF area and I in person just can't get exited about such things anymore.

Bumper sticker in any nation's color is a commodity in the States. In the fact, these are not even the craziest stickers. What some "Bible Belt" hillbillies do attach to their cars is pretty exotic.

"the fact alone that a people brought to europe by the turks, uses the symbol of hellenic / only civilization, the double headed eagle, is a provocation itself..."

What enormous lack of knowledge and seriousness!!!

Raso & Co, you guys need to read more of history. A good resource is Croatia to tell you where Albanians come from.

When Albanians were in lands now lived by Slavs, civilized and in control of much of today balkans you guys were hunting tigers in Siberia. Just so you know.

This is a good move not to intervene by the police, but this is not because Serbia government is tolerant or the people, but because the interests are not to intervene. This is like an important requirement for EU entry which Serbia is looking forward to submit its applications soon.

Don't get ahead of yourselves please. Its suggested that you think before you write.

either the security services will stop this provocation, or the real people of serbia will do so.

... here we go again - this is like celebrations in croatia every year about operation storm or bleiburg

we all rehash the same old tired arguments and nobody listens and the same thing happens every year

Its so tedious that every ethnic group has to bang its drum, wave its flags and its victories - at the expense of another ethnic group.
