Kosovo is Sui Generis.
(PRN, 16 February 2010 15:18)

Please explain *exactly* what you mean? And then please why this argument does not apply to Tibet, Kurdistan and Abkhazia.

On Abkhazia: mind that when Georgia wanted to leave the USSR it had to conduct seperate referendums in Abkahzia and South Ossetia. There autonomous regions had the option to stay in the USSR.
Georgia never did this. Making Georgian independence illega!

I do not say that Georgia should rejoin Russia (or whatever) but what I do say is: Georgia, why don't you let these regions go? They both have the right (!) to leave Georgia.

Kosovo did not have the right to split from Serbia!

You must have a drawer full of Passports!

"Yes lets have a referendum in all of Bosnia i Herzegovina if Srpska entity should be abolished and the other entity."

Yes and iirc (and I do) wasn't the original referendum in the 90's missing a substantial portion of Bosnia's citizens? So it seems that according to your infallible logic that BiH should never have been allowed to leave the federation of Yugoslavia without all of BiH's (moreover all of JU's) citizen's inputs in a referendum. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Why the push now? Of course, this same thing happened in all the other provinces of FJ.

and Niall, PRN is 100% correct in saying that Kosovo's case is unique, in that all other cases cannot be compared to Kosovo because they are not in the Balkans. That is the only form of which this overly misused Latin phrase applies to.

But PRN,
guess what. Serbia is Sui Generis, China is Sue Generis, USA is, Italy is, Germany is, Cambodia is. Every single corner of the world is Sue Generis. It kinda makes the whole uniqueness seem less impressive when we're all equally unique.

And truly the phrase of the decade (and perhaps the latter part of the last century) should/could be "Be Nice to America or We'll Bring Democracy to Your Country".

Sure - if you will tell me why we can't include Denmark, Dubai, and Estonia in the referendum? I mean, I have as much right as some random person in the north of BoH to decide what should happend in the south. Or should I only get one 8th of a vote because Denmark is far away?

Why don't you want to extend the democratic right to vote to me?

So Serbia gets bombed for killing 10,000 Albanians in Kosovo, and what happens to Sudan for killing 300,000 black Africans in Darfur? Or how about the Kurds? Offer them the rights in Turkey that Kosovar Albanians had in Serbia and I'm sure they would bite your hand off for them.

If you want self-determination you should wait in line behind the people who deserve it far more than you do. These new 'countries' like Kosovo, South Ossetia and Abkhazia are a joke.

Rubbish, it's 'Sui Generis' because the US and her NATO allies like to make up the rules as they go along to suitE their own interests.

What about Palestine, is that not Sui Generis? The Palestinian people have been fighting for over 60 years for their own state and yet it has been continually denied to them by Israel and its main ally, the US. Do you also deny their right to self-determination? What of Tibet, Kurdistan, Tamils, Banda Aceh, Basque, Bosnian Serbs, West Papua, Western Sahara?

Spot the double standards? And then you wonder why the vasy majority of the Muslim and Arab world doesnt recognise your parastate. You know why, i'll tell you, your 'Kosova' epitomises the very hypocrisy and double standards of US militaristic, imperialist aggression. It is the very symbol of where we have been going wrong in the world for the last few decades. It is a symbol of greed, hatred and irridentist nationalism.

Is a Palestinian worth less than an ethnic Albanian in Kosovo? Damn no, cut the crap and admit that your 'Sui Generis' argument holds absolutley no basis whatsoever. Its a lie that has the potential to inflict misery on not only the peoples of the Balkans, but also countless other states accross the globe..

Republika Srpska has more right to exist than the croat muslim federation. The Serbs are natives to this land and are therefore entitled to their own state. Croats and muslims should be happy they have the little land that they do. But that is how generous the Serbs are. Giving some of their own territory to our sworn enemies.

republika srpska should be independent this year and Serbs are majority in the whole country anyway and they are 92%+ majority in the republika srpska so that's it that's all folks. and then the people in krajina should speak about full autonomy since croatia got a president with brains there and knows some history and now that should be done next because that is serbian lands.

Lenard,
your post are too funny. So much, that i don't understand what you are trying to convey at any given time.

Anyways, i believe that the quasi state of Croatia should be abolished, as it was Hitler that created it.

Lenard

“The Dayton Agreement is constantly being violated and we were forced to react to this unlawfulness.” Well well Dodik must be talking about him self and of the make believe Quasy Srpska and its murderously unlawfully forced on the majority of people in the Republic of Bosnia i Herzegovina. Yes lets have a referendum in all of Bosnia i Herzegovina if Srpska entity should be abolished and the other entity. Of coarse democratically lawfully and the majority of the citizens votes to take the day. To be respected in the Republic of Bosnia Herzegovina by the Serbs. Sure Dodik lets have a end to your unlawfulness nonsense and resistance against the unlawful behaviour of yours and pretentious of unjustifiable Srpska. Totally with you Dodik also noted that the referendum would be of "mandatory nature". In all of Bosnia i Herzegovina witch takes precedence over quasi entities every time. That will leave finally Dodik speechless and the injustices finally rited suffered so cruelly by the majority of Bosnia i Herzegovina citizens.
