FM addresses African Union Council

"It is amazing that every time Vuk opens his mouth to wide, recognition comes."
Kosova-USA

Everytime Vuk opens his mouth you bring out that keyboard and start typing.
He must be getting on your nerves? That means he is doing something right!

Kosovo Albanian government Foreign Minister Skender Hyseni and other members of a delegation sent by the government in Priština could not attend the African Union gathering.
--
Poor Hyseni. He must realise by now that even the Afghanistan passport has more access to the world than this so-called "Kosova" passport.

Jeremić on Thursday welcomed the fact that as many as 80 percent of the member-states of the African Union (AU) had not recognized Kosovo and called on them to maintain such a stand.

Stay tune for new recognition/s after this. It is amazing that every time Vuk opens his mouth to wide, recognition comes.

Just add more milage to your frequent flier bonus. You may need it later on.

You have many countries in Africa but as far as the international law is concerned their votes are not worth that much. They are not exactly the biggest contributors to international law and resolutions that has passed UN General Assembly due to the votes of the South like the one about asking ICJ about advisory opinion on Kosovo have always failed and are void under any circumstance in international law.

The African council respects international law - whereas the US/EU trample on it to suit themselves. I applaud the honest and principled Ethiopians in rejecting entry for the Albanians - countries that respect the law, should stick together against the corrupt empires.

HaHa, It's amazing how an ordinary country like Ethiopia understands diplomatic protocol better than the united states. Kosovo is unrecognized by a majority of the world and not a member of the UN, so it is not admitted into international meetings. Yet the us constantly pushes them into Security Council meetings and sneaks them into General Assembly meetings. It is this tactic that dooms Kosovo as a failed state. It is no secret that the reason why Kosovo does not have worldwide recognition has nothing to do with Balkan conflicts but more to do with worldwide hatred of the us and the puppet regimes it supports.

No visa for albanians-.Great job Vuk.

Well, you got 80% of Africa, and we got 80% of Europe. Good luck with that.

Poor uck delegation... they thought they had a chance to sneak in.

Well, you got 80% of Africa, and we got 80% of Europe. Good luck with that.
(Albo-detroit, 28 January 2010 18:07)

Well, as you have 80% of Europe recognizing an “independent” Kosovo, why don’t you convince them to open factories to employ the hundreds of thousands currently unemployed, in fact 90% ???
Oh, what a shallow recognition it is!!!

the main story about Serbia in the newspaper here in Italy is today the answer by EC to Jeremic about unfreezing of SAA...nothing has been written in Serbia ? Censorship ?

"He must be getting on your nerves? That means he is doing something right!
(Hank the Tank, 28 January 2010 14:23) "

Correct my if I am wrong but the job of Foreign Minister of Serbia should not really be about getting on the nerves of B92 posters should it?!

A battle won by Jeremic. But, war continues. As long as Serbia is concerned and employeed in campaign to halt Kosovo instead of looking to score economic points or developmental integration with countries that at least have a moderate record of human rights or don't beg for food. Basically, Serbia lives up to the saying "one step forward, two steps backwards".
As it seems delaying defeat is a battle won but the war is deemed to be lost.

One has to understand Ethiopia and their stand on Kosovo issue for Eritrea declared independence as it turned Ethiopia into an landlocked country (just as Montenegro did to Serbia).
In addition, Eritrea was the most economically viable part of Ethiopia (just as Kosovo was for Serbia).

He got Ethiopia to not give visas to Kosova foreign minister; bye bye independence. I guess now the de-recognitions begin.

Glad to see that most of the African continent is respecting the UN resolution in place and of course no surprise to see the k-a camps having such disrespect for the African continent, and we are supposed to respect you and accept you in EU, God help us that it will never happen. We really DO NOT NEED such kind of hatry around.
Shape up or stay in the hole of ignorance you are now in and stop blaming the others for the misery you are in, you are doing nothing to change!
Yes you might have the US on your side, but what is the US today without China and Russia, a giant with broken legs!
Just listen very carefully the speach that Obama gave last night and you will find out that the world has changed and that we are now living in the 21st century!

'In addition, Eritrea was the most economically viable part of Ethiopia (just as Kosovo was for Serbia).'

Mirub, your post made some sense until you wrote that bit. Is it your opinion that Serbia has been a drain on Kosovo resources, that Trepca has enough minerals to make every citizen of Jugoslavija - never mind Serbia, rich? I can hear the echo of generations of nationalists who pass this kind of grivience down the generations. I must say I have heard some pretty silly claims from Kosovo Serbs along those lines also, although that was alcohol assisted.

From my logical perspective there are reasons why Kosovo should remain in Serbia, but were it purely an economical question I would ditch it.

Thats not a Serb talking, that somebody who thinks that the economy / economic factors are absolutely crucial in understanding the relationship between states.

He must be getting on your nerves? That means he is doing something right!
(Hank the Tank, 28 January 2010 14:23)

He is getting on the nerves of everyone, Albanians are no exception.
If that's what constitute to be a good diplomat, you can continue to be proud of your little guy.

Excellent work Vuk ! This is an extremely important gathering. The albanian leaders know that. Thats why they wanted to attend. The albanian posters thinks opposite....Strange.

To Hank the tank;
It is not the first time that you mock posters as "keyboard warriors" and "tough behind the pc" and other. With all due respect I don't see you swinging your sword either.
I believe that this exchange of opinions is the exact formula that the Balkans needs. Allow me to sincerely thank B92 especially now with its improved and much efficient processing of the postings. Sometime, I forget that this medium of news and opinions is actually located in the heart of Serbia.

who cares what african countrys have to say they even dont have enough food for their people and in politics all african countrys have zero influence

"Correct my if I am wrong but the job of Foreign Minister of Serbia should not really be about getting on the nerves of B92 posters should it?!"
nikshala

I'd rather he get on your nerves than of those people who really matter. Besides, Vuk wasn't elected to satisfy B92 commentators!

Can anyone in here give some profe that Kosovo delegation was really turned down in their request for visa. i read in other sites that Kosovo delegation did not apply for visa at all, and the kosovo FM spokeperson confirmed this.

"Well, you got 80% of Africa, and we got 80% of Europe. Good luck with that."

Yeah and Serbia has 66% of the world. Good luck with that.

:)

who cares what african countrys have to say ...
(mijari, 28 January 2010 18:22)
--
Well, one person who cares is Hyseni otherwise he wouldn't have got the boot out of this African nation. Why else would he attempt to attend if he didn't care?

I imagine I'll be criticized for stating this but it won't bother me if Kosovar politicians decide to deny entry for these Ethiopian delegates to Kosovo.This may be sidetracking the issue but I still assert my right to interact well & occasionally do generous things for Albanians who essentially have likeable characteristics instead of Albanians & non-Albanians who have a way of seriously getting on my nerves.
(Nadeem, 28 January 2010 19:35)

I am sure Ethiopa has no interest in ever coming to Kosovo, Nadeem. Who are you kidding?

"He also recalled that Serbia stood firmly with Africa throughout its contemporary history, while Belgrade hosted the First Non-Aligned Movement Summit in 1961."

Nope, it wasn't Serbia but Yugoslavia, the country that Serbia wrecked.

And the thing about Hyseni not receiving visa's is a libelous lie. Hyseni's spokesperson denied ever having requested a visa.
In all fairness, you should retract this part or at least provide Prishtina's answer.

I am not sure, how should I see individuals that are against my interest, against the interest of my contry? What should think about them? Why would Jeremic be affraid of speaking in presence of Albanians? Why would he insist on further dialogue with Albanians, if he continually runs away from them? Or maybe, he would like to speak to Albaians (dialogue) in the presence of Russia and behind closed doors (where he could say whatever they want and than. Once they go out, no one would kow, what was spoken there, so they could claim whatever they want)...
Recognition of any contry / union is important for Kosovo, some more some less but still important. Anyhow, soon or later, I believe this will hapen. I am just surprised, why Kosovo goverment does not react on same way... Contrys that have imposed visas to Kosovo, should be asked for visas, in order to entry Kosovo, while the ones that have not recognised Kosovo, should no be allowed to enter in Kosovo at all. They are here, in various missions, earning a lot of money and still, not recognising Kosovo, not becasue of facts, not because of Serbia but because of the ongoing issues in their homes. come on guys, we live in 21st century. Time of occupators has died. Everybody should be equally rspected. Contries that haven't recognised Kosovo independance will have to do so as soon as possible and use this glorious wisdom and solve their problems at their homes. Posters that have been against Montenegors (macedonias, croatias, slovenias etc) independance saying the can not survive alone, are already convinced this was not good statement because they live WONDERFUL. In few years from now, they will have the chance to be convinced about the need for considering Kosovo as it is now, independant... And not only Kosovo, but some other new states too...
Wake up...

"Correct my if I am wrong but the job of Foreign Minister of Serbia should not really be about getting on the nerves of B92 posters should it?!"

================

Now that Vuk has successfully blocked you entry to this meeting you claim he gets on the nerves of B92 readers. Until today you guys were claiming how you love this guy because he works for you as every time he opens his mouth another recognition comes along.

Well, I have always liked Vuk and there is no way he could get on my nerves, especially when he is doing such a great job.

You have many countries in Africa but as far as the international law is concerned their votes are not worth that much. They are not exactly the biggest contributors to international law and resolutions that has passed UN General Assembly due to the votes of the South like the one about asking ICJ about advisory opinion on Kosovo have always failed and are void under any circumstance in international law.
(A, 28 January 2010 13:45)
======================

And I suppose Micronesia is a powerhouse.
How many powerful countries does "Kosova" have?

HAHA, it is funny to see how many serb posters in here comment on Africa obeying UN and it Resolutions.
Serbia and Africa have many things in common, amongs all it is obeying UN and it resolutions. For more details see the the history of Africa and Serbia for the past 20 years.

Kosovo-USA,

To further prove that you are ill-informed yet again, allow me to give you some statistics:

Christian population: 63%
Muslim population: 34%

Ethiopia, after Armenia, is the oldest Christian country in the world - with a majority of Christians being Orthodox.

The term "towel head" while offensive, is used mainly to describe Arabs and Muslims of the Middle East. You missed the mark badly with your latest slur.

now that AU got Serbia's support when Serbia will be in EU Africa has no more reason to fear poverty, thirst, hunger, corruption, AIDS, killings, civil wars, discrimination. Its all over. VUK "TITO" Jeremic will be there to help Africa overcome all problems. What a pathetic stand. I understand that Jeremic's job is to convince more and more countries not to recognize Kosovo but there are more elegant political moves to do that. I think such speech is an insult to all AU participants and to Serbian politics as well.

A - your comment about African states and international law was perhaps the most uninformed contribution I have ever read here. (Quite some feat!) International politics is based on sovereignty, which is the theoretical equality of all states. As fir your tosh about UNGA resolutions being void under international law, I simply have no idea what you are going on about there. Really, you might do yourself some favours and read a few books on international politics before writing such utter rubbish.

Jeremic has pressurised the Ethiopian government not to allow the Albanian delegation to participate in a peaceful gathering.

Unbelievable! Jeremic like his predecessor is scared to death by Albanian force of argument in favor in the legitimacy. Two points I would like to make. If the Kosova delegation would have been allowed in the gathering what Jeremic would have done? Run away as he has done in the past? Or not show up? On the other side Jeremic with his forceful and hostile attitude towards Albanian is doing nothing less but irritating Albanians. Well done as Serbia's Foreign Minister!

"Yeah and Serbia has 66% of the world." (Calgarian, 28 January 2010 19:06)

Serbia has support from 66% of the world's governments - representing 85% of the world's people. That's very impressive. Great Job Vuk!

Who needs those towel heads to come to Kosova/o?
(Kosova-USA, 29 January 2010 14:39)

It is not just Serbs that you are intolerant and prejudiced against? Who's else is on your list?

No visa for albanians-.Great job Vuk.
(lids, 28 January 2010 15:45)

First of all it is not yet confirmend that Hyseni asked for a visa. Vuk should bring some more reliable information. Even if Adis Abeba rejected the visa for Hyseni, I do not think they did it because of Jeremic. So, this guy shouldn´t sell everything is going about Kosovo as his personal victory. The depot of Vuk´s munition is going to be empty soon and he is using such cheap arguments to satisfy himself then the Serbian policy. The damage he is doing for Serbia towards important partners is higher than his victory on such conferences. There are more diplomatic and professional means to fight for Serbia then to ask everybody not to reckognise Kosovo. He is even destroying every possible bridge or tunnel for any potential negotiations as he pretend to achieve.

When an African nation recognises Kosovo, many posters on B92 say that it is not important. If that was so, then why this?

(Gjilanasi, 29 January 2010 09:29)

You want to impose visas on every country that does that to people with a Kosovo passport?

Bit silly and self defeating isn't it? What a small world you live in.

Serbia has support from 66% of the world's governments - representing 85% of the world's people. That's very impressive. Great Job Vuk!
(Rod, 29 January 2010 14:29)

Two years ago Serbia had 100% of the world's countries and two years later Serbia has 66%.
Great job Vuk!
In two years from now Serbia will have 33%, and you will still claim. Great Job Vuk!

I wouldn't be opposed to visas for all Serb citizens for sure.
(Zoti, 29 January 2010 16:27)

Fat chance. Your so-called authorities in Pristina could not even enact their goal to make Serbs crossing the boundary use passports. Cany you say, "licna karta?" :)

After reading Serbs extolling the virtues of democracies like Russia, China, Iran and Venezuela I cannot wait to read them extol the virtues of African democracies, I meant 80% of African democracies.

The African council respects international law - whereas the US/EU trample on it to suit themselves. I applaud the honest and principled Ethiopians in rejecting entry for the Albanians - countries that respect the law, should stick together against the corrupt empires.
(svojgazda, 28 January 2010 18:01)

then why Serbia has not applied to join the virtuous AU instead of the evil EU ?

unilateral attempt by an ethnic minority to secede from a UN member State in peacetime:
There was a war Vuce and people died,their blood will not be forgoten and with our without and Serbian shoes will never be in our necks again.

Jason:

Why the heck would you assume I'm kidding anyone? If you were to tell or indicate to me that Ethiopian officials would handle it in stride rather than "lose sleep" over non-invitations by Kosovar officials than therefore these Ethiopian officials are utilizing proper judgement if they take this in stride.

I am sure Ethiopa has no interest in ever coming to Kosovo, Nadeem. Who are you kidding?

Let's suppose that Kosovo (even if it's not officially a sovereign entity) organizes an international event but it's made "crystal clear" that Vuk Jeremic,his colleagues and the Ethiopian delegation are not invited to Kosovo for a possible international event. Will Jeremic,his colleagues and the Ethiopian delegation handle it in stride or will they "bellyache" about a possible non-invitation?

You want to impose visas on every country that does that to people with a Kosovo passport?

Not sure where you got this... The last time the world countries were polled about Kosovo (i.e. when they voted in secret ballot for Kosovo's admission to IMF & World Bank), 109 of them said Kosovo is a country and should be admitted. That does not sound to me support for Serbia !!!

All this worry about who is recognizing the “independence of Kosovo, but what about jobs for the locals. Last time I looked all the recognition in the world can’t stop hunger and poverty.

It looks like you really CARE about unemployement in Kosova. So how would the unemployement rate be, if we have'nt had any recognition?

I must say I have heard some pretty silly claims from Kosovo Serbs along those lines also, although that was alcohol assisted.

From my logical perspective there are reasons why Kosovo should remain in Serbia, but were it purely an economical question I would ditch it.

Thats not a Serb talking, that somebody who thinks that the economy / economic factors are absolutely crucial in understanding the relationship between states.

A - your comment about African states and international law was perhaps the most uninformed contribution I have ever read here. (Quite some feat!) International politics is based on sovereignty, which is the theoretical equality of all states. As fir your tosh about UNGA resolutions being void under international law, I simply have no idea what you are going on about there. Really, you might do yourself some favours and read a few books on international politics before writing such utter rubbish.

Jason:

Why the heck would you assume I'm kidding anyone? If you were to tell or indicate to me that Ethiopian officials would handle it in stride rather than "lose sleep" over non-invitations by Kosovar officials than therefore these Ethiopian officials are utilizing proper judgement if they take this in stride.

You want to impose visas on every country that does that to people with a Kosovo passport?

Bit silly and self defeating isn't it? What a small world you live in.

I wouldn't be opposed to visas for all Serb citizens for sure.

Well, one person who cares is Hyseni otherwise he wouldn't have got the boot out of this African nation. Why else would he attempt to attend if he didn't care?

You have many countries in Africa but as far as the international law is concerned their votes are not worth that much. They are not exactly the biggest contributors to international law and resolutions that has passed UN General Assembly due to the votes of the South like the one about asking ICJ about advisory opinion on Kosovo have always failed and are void under any circumstance in international law.

And I suppose Micronesia is a powerhouse.
How many powerful countries does "Kosova" have?

"Yeah and Serbia has 66% of the world." (Calgarian, 28 January 2010 19:06)

Serbia has support from 66% of the world's governments - representing 85% of the world's people. That's very impressive. Great Job Vuk!

Fat chance. Your so-called authorities in Pristina could not even enact their goal to make Serbs crossing the boundary use passports. Cany you say, "licna karta?" :)

Not sure where you got this... The last time the world countries were polled about Kosovo (i.e. when they voted in secret ballot for Kosovo's admission to IMF & World Bank), 109 of them said Kosovo is a country and should be admitted. That does not sound to me support for Serbia !!!

"Correct my if I am wrong but the job of Foreign Minister of Serbia should not really be about getting on the nerves of B92 posters should it?!"
nikshala
================

Now that Vuk has successfully blocked you entry to this meeting you claim he gets on the nerves of B92 readers. Until today you guys were claiming how you love this guy because he works for you as every time he opens his mouth another recognition comes along.

Well, I have always liked Vuk and there is no way he could get on my nerves, especially when he is doing such a great job.

Kosovo-USA,

To further prove that you are ill-informed yet again, allow me to give you some statistics:

Christian population: 63%
Muslim population: 34%

Ethiopia, after Armenia, is the oldest Christian country in the world - with a majority of Christians being Orthodox.

The term "towel head" while offensive, is used mainly to describe Arabs and Muslims of the Middle East. You missed the mark badly with your latest slur.

Who needs those towel heads to come to Kosova/o?
(Kosova-USA, 29 January 2010 14:39)

It is not just Serbs that you are intolerant and prejudiced against? Who's else is on your list?

All this worry about who is recognizing the “independence of Kosovo, but what about jobs for the locals. Last time I looked all the recognition in the world can’t stop hunger and poverty.

It looks like you really CARE about unemployement in Kosova. So how would the unemployement rate be, if we have'nt had any recognition?
