Spain repeats it won't recognize Kosovo

At the same time, two MPs of the Basque Nationalist Party will be visiting Priština.

Two MPs of the Basque Nationalist Party will be visiting Priština? Well, that pretty much seals "Kosova's" exclusion out of the EU until an agreement is reached between Belgrade and Priština. All paths lead to the negotiating table.

pss-now you are politicizing medals won in the Olympics.

Unfortunate.

"So far Winter Olympic medals won by countries who recognize Kosovo 143.
Medals won by countries who have not 34."
pss

Funny that countries who recognized Kosovo won so many medals while the people they recognized have yet to win any medals in any olympic game for the last 3 billion years. To bad the olympics don't have stealing and drugsmugling as a sport. Albanians would be winning every time.

"65 to be exact Spain. What if Kosova is recognized by 97 (32 more) nations and you're in the minority?"
Dritan

Or, since Kosovo recognitions are in minority why not take back your claim to independence?

FYI:
So far Winter Olympic medals won by countries who recognize Kosovo 143.
Medals won by countries who have not 34.

Wrote this about a week or two ago, but see it bears repeating:

> With regard to the 'pseudo-state':

> In the 2 years since the UDI - 65 recognitions..

> In the 1st year since the UDI - 54 recognitions,
> in the 2nd year since the UDI - 11 recognitions..

> In the 1st half of the 1st year - 45,
> in the 2nd half of the 1st year - 9,
> in the 1st half of the 2nd year - 8,
> in the 2nd half of the 2nd year - 3..

Barring a negative outcome at the ICJ for Serbia, 'Pseudo-state' has about as much chance of reaching '97' as it has of winning a medal at the Vancouver Games.

And judging by the increased hedging of those who support 'fake-state', a positive outcome is looking more & more likely ;)

So far Winter Olympic medals won by countries who recognize Kosovo 143.
Medals won by countries who have not 34.

LOL, there is more snow in Austria than in India, Brazil, VietNam, Thailand combined.

But if I go to the camera store and buy a Pentax digital SRL - than it's "made in Vietnam" written on the lens.

I have an old Eumig projector with "made in Austria" written on the lens. It was new in 1983. There wasn't anything "made in Austria" of that kind since.

"Spain will recognize in due time. Serbia has already recognized Kosovo in secret, that's how they got on the white Shengen list they just can't make it public yet..."
boss

Thank for the info Einstein! I guess this news hasn't reached Northern Kosovo. They are very much still part of Serbia.
If you have any more inside information please share. It was a while ago since I laughed.

As i always said Spain can't recognize Kosovo because the next day Catalugnia e Basconia will say "adios" to the remain part of the peninsula...
Looking at fresh statistics Spain has other problems in these days...

To the Kosovo albanians: Can you not see what we others see? Kosovo is a done deal. I promise you, Kosovo will never ever be a country. Dont you see and hear that recently, many people including Feith, has realised that the ICJ outcome will gain Serbia. Therefore they are in a hurry now for north of Kosovo. To all Serbs and also to the big majority of the whole world: Sit down in the boat, nothing during the last 2 years have gone wrong. You are on the right track for sure ! Wait and see. Ask anyone from Unmik, Eulex or OSCE if Kosovo is a country. The answear is a No.

I think people who are saying that spain will recognize in the future dont pay attention to the article. Angel Moritanos is quoted as saying "He said that the country will not do so until either a UN resolution is adopted regarding the issue, or an agreement has been reached between Belgrade and Priština." I guess your so called kosovos plans to join the eu are ruined, now you have got to join the eu as Unmik-Kosovo which means your part of serbia.

You forgot to mention "organ harvesting" while running from the police event, Michael C. Albanians politicizing Olympic medals, amazing. What does that have to do with anything?

Moratinos said that Kosovo has only been recognized by about 60 of the 192 UN member-states, which means that Spain’s stance is in the majority.
**
65 to be exact Spain. What if Kosova is recognized by 97 (32 more) nations and you're in the minority?

Basque people will continue to do whatever they have done during last 5 decades despite K-recognition and it will be up to Spain to solve the opened issues with that minority. Spain will recognize K and it will do so when the time is right.

(miri, 24 February 2010 16:15)

Sorry Miri - but in Spain Thaci & Co propaganda don't exist. Spain will NOT recognise Kosovo, because Kosovo is illegal, false state despite US or UK pressure.

He said that the country will not do so until either a UN resolution is adopted regarding the issue, or an agreement has been reached between Belgrade and Priština.

This to me sounds like he is saying that; Spain will not recognize Kosova/o at this moment, but in the FUTURE ...
fill in the blanks , please!

So what is new in that news? Except for the fact that this Spaniard administration has its weaknesses in counting. Ah, now here, that is new:

"He said that stability must be reestablished in northern Kosovo, adding that cooperation from all sides is needed for this, in order for a multi-ethnic society based on tolerance and respect to be founded. "

So they Spaniards say also that the situition in North is not acceptable. I wonder why Jeremic didn't make any comment on that paragraph...on the other hand, I'm not surprised.

What's the point of repeating the Spain will not recognize Kosovo any time soon? I think he has better things to do, like start working on the spains debt and unemployment then becoming a like a parrot

Mr. Moratinos, this relic of cold war, a member of Socialists Workers Party, will take the boot next elections in Spain. It's just a matter of time before Spain recognizes Kosova once the next right oriented government is installed in Spain.
Now, I am categorically against the concept of Spain recognizing Kosova because of EU pressure or economic reasons. That simply won't work, since the people that make that decision don't really feel any economic burden either way. Spain will recognize Kosova because is the principled and the right thing to do. Unfortunately Mr. Morations and current Spanish government was formed based on an anti-US platform after Madrid bombing, and such it will use any opportunity to show its stance, the easier one is K issue. Basque aspirations for more independence from Spain's central government are in no way comparable to K-issue. The entire world, Spain included, clearly saw with horror, the hordes of Serb military cleansing entire areas in the matter of days during 90's in Kosova. Basque is just an excuse for Spain government not to recognize K-independence, it's simply a cover for its backwards ideology in which their governing is currently functioning. There are many other countries with bigger separation problems (Turkey and Canada for example) that have recognized K-Independence simply by looking at the reality and avoiding wrong comparisons. None of these countries had any problem after this recognition.
Likewise, many other countries that do not have separation problems, like Chavez government, doesn't recognize K. simply to poke US in the eye.
The bottom line is that K-independence cannot be a precedent for Spain or any other country in the world. Spain in particular will not suffer at all by recognizing Kosova. Saying that Spain doesn't recognize K because of Basque problem it's simply wrong. Basque people will continue to do whatever they have done during last 5 decades despite K-recognition and it will be up to Spain to solve the opened issues with that minority. Spain will recognize K and it will do so when the time is right.

Spain will recognize in due time. Serbia has already recognized Kosovo in secret, that's how they got on the white Shengen list they just can't make it public yet fearing an uprising of the Milosovic party jeopardizing their future EU entrance.

@ DIRTAN, BOSSS & Co.

No mistake in the number of 60 here. That's the current count of countries that still recognize "Kosova".
The discrepancy of 5 is coming from the fact that 5 very powerful and important countries have in secret annulled their recognition decision. They do not want to make it public at present, fearing the mighty numbers of Albanians worldwide, led by heroic Kosova police/army that will with unstoppable force easily overrun their countries and claim the new Illyrian territories once for ever. Living happily ever after as the youngest democracy in the world, with happiest minorities,w.heroes Thaci,Kuci,Buci,Haradinaj, Morina(?)Sejdiu,polar bears, you name it... Then Russia will recognize as well (or they did already?)

(Dan UK, 24 February 2010 19:18)

No, it is true, the information came from k-usa and he is the best informed of all of us, so you better believe in it!

Logic, Mikael C, Ataman, you really made me laugh today, tx...

Well, we can only praise the spanish position to be in line with what should be the respect of the 1244 resolution!
Unfortunately too many countries ignored it and some others most probably never read it or were "forced" to ignore it before recognizing this illegal UDI.

Of course no surprise to see the k-camp spiting on Spain and its representant.
Who hasn't the same opinion as the k-a, is automatically an ennemy!

"He said that stability must be reestablished in northern Kosovo, adding that cooperation from all sides is needed for this, in order for a multi-ethnic society based on tolerance and respect to be founded".

A good advice coming from friends.

Seems to me that Spain is doing more for Kosova from its actual position.

Ataman,
your point well taken, but I wish you could check google or youtube and enter the name of Majlinda Kelmendi. It is a public record no matter how hard some try to avoid it (serb news media in particular).
(Kosova-USA, 24 February 2010 18:05)


Hehe Majlinda again.Huge succes winning an event which interests only the relatives of competitors.Yeah we see her day by day on major sports chanels.Last time you mentined her here this is what one of more normal albanians answered if you happened to have forgotten it.



Kosova-USA, I've seen many of your comments here and let me just say, from Albanian to Albanian, please cease. You're just an embarrassment. You know full well that we have not been successful at sports, and granted that we have had talent, they have always been bought by other countries. I would understand if the article had something to do with Kosova, but it is completely unrelated. You do sound bitter, nosy, and just rude. Either post something constructive or don't at all.

Serbia should block having a terrorist organization enter its sovereign territory.

I am getting so tired of this man ! Who cares if Spain wont recognize Kosovo ,Spain is not the biggest in this world it really doesn't matter for now !

But then i also say that this goverment, ( our goverment) in spain wont be in power much longer. simply because it brought Spain to its knees with debt, and job losses,im from Spain myself, & all i can say to the Kosovar/Albanians is? you wait & see, sooner or later spain will Recognize Kosovo. 2nd- most of Spain wanna recognize Kosovo,& that incl abt 95% of population in Barcelona,..Madrid wont recognize you, but then we the catal, dont recognize Madrid really,, Madrid is playing stupid with the rest of Western countries,they,r only showing off, something that all Spain is against of,,Happy indep Koosovo,, i have already recognized you, as a good & friendly people in EU...

"most of Spain wanna recognize Kosovo,& that incl abt 95% of population in Barcelona,"

-- Just like Kosovo-USA you lack something called FACTS. I call BS on this.

He know what majority and minority in international bodies...I think he shoot himself in the foot. Is Spain in majority or minority in the EU when it comes to Kosovo/a's stance? Is Spain in the EU or not? Tell us please because we are getting "confused"...Or Spain and other countries that have not recognised Kosovo/a yet are in the EU just to grab as much as possible in the name if Union Europea...)

Who said it's decided within two years?

If you think that we will be under Serbs I got a bridge to sell to you. For now NATO is defending us and soon with Albanian we'll have a common defense agreement. Serbia has plenty of things to worry about, like to join EU with the door shut by the Kosovo situtation

Strange.Spain looks every day more like Serbia in his stance. Interesting... Spain can loss more with issue of north than with Kosova recognision.Nice, I personaly like this. Why not. Serbia has to lose nothing, she already lost, but Spain yes if it continue like this. It's very difficult and risky to stand agains new order. Heroes are dead.

Did it. The only thing I am not very happy about her - she is way to young for me (or the other way: I am way to old for her).

Jason if you knew anything about Spanish history you'd realize that M.B is a Catalan and all Catalans are pro-Kosova as they're waging their secessionist war towards Spain.

-- I do not need to be an expert in Spanish history to question the identity of someone on this site. Most people know the deal with Basque separatists (terrorists like ETA) and Catalan as well. The vast majority of Spaniards, I would assert, are pro-Serbian.

As for countries educational system, though it lacks some things, it is a world better than Kosovo's where one can become a doctor or lawyer with a year or two and a few thousand euros.

Mr.Moratinos couldn´t be clearer on that, right?

I know plenty of Albanian trained doctors and lawyers who have passed the board and bar exams in the U.S.. A Kosovar trained doctor even works at the Hackensack University Hospital in your home state.

That is really scary.

I cried I heard that Spain will not recognize Kosovo, especially since they are such a big trading partner for Kosovo.....wait a minute, we have nothing in common with that country, not even trade. Hmmm maybe after Greece crashes, Italy, and Spain, perhaps then their foreign policy will change.

I forgive you though since your education system has in all likelihood failed you. And your action is negated by your Prez and Congress.

Gotta love B92, three articles within the same day on Serbia thanking countries for not recognizing Kosova's independence. Must be getting desperate. Hurry and send thank you notes to the remaining 120 something countries.

Peggy having read your comments for a while I wouldn't expect you to be aware of Catalonia's (with Barcelona as its capital) struggle for independence from Spain. It took a Milosevic like figure in Spain's Franco to brutally repress their aspirations for freedom.

Hehe Majlinda again.
(szemi, 24 February 2010 21:14)

I have no problem on that. As said many times, sport, girls, friends and family have nothing to do with politics.

Anyway, she looks hot and I end the topic here. I am sure B92 will censor the rest as sexually inappropriate.

On less sexual content: imagine for a moment, that "ZERO" kilometer stone in Budapest marks the Croatian/Serbian/Slovak triple border and Vlora Citaku is the president.

1) The cakes is Serbia/KosMet are rather of German (less sweet, more substance) style and cost 1.5 times less than in Hungary

2) The 0.5% milk costs in Slovakia precisely the half it does in Hungary

3) The prshut and the Croatian smoked tongue is not that far away

4) Viktor Orbán has to learn Serbian and Albanian

5) Tácsi Bácsi is busy with MÁV and BKV corruption, no time for small things like hashish.

I see only benefits.

oh my gosh...

Why would you question someone's identity? For all your anti-Albanian vitriol no one is questioning your identity or calling you a Serb.

And I beg to differ on the necessary Spanish history expertise. You ignorantly assume that all Spaniards are pro Serb but if you knew of the Basque and Catalunya's struggle for independence from Spain you wouldn't have made those snide remarks which frankly seemed very petty.

That may be true but at least up to high school students at least get a real education and whatever they don't learn in school they get it from the media, unlike the U.S. where the populace is kept purposely ignorant.

LOL, there is more snow in Austria than in India, Brazil, VietNam, Thailand combined.

But if I go to the camera store and buy a Pentax digital SRL - than it's "made in Vietnam" written on the lens.

I have an old Eumig projector with "made in Austria" written on the lens. It was new in 1983. There wasn't anything "made in Austria" of that kind since.

pss-now you are politicizing medals won in the Olympics.

Unfortunate.

But then i also say that this goverment, ( our goverment) in spain wont be in power much longer. simply because it brought Spain to its knees with debt, and job losses,im from Spain myself, & all i can say to the Kosovar/Albanians is? you wait & see, sooner or later spain will Recognize Kosovo. 2nd- most of Spain wanna recognize Kosovo,& that incl abt 95% of population in Barcelona,..Madrid wont recognize you, but then we the catal, dont recognize Madrid really,, Madrid is playing stupid with the rest of Western countries,they,r only showing off, something that all Spain is against of,,Happy indep Koosovo,, i have already recognized you, as a good & friendly people in EU...

To the Kosovo albanians: Can you not see what we others see? Kosovo is a done deal. I promise you, Kosovo will never ever be a country. Dont you see and hear that recently, many people including Feith, has realised that the ICJ outcome will gain Serbia. Therefore they are in a hurry now for north of Kosovo. To all Serbs and also to the big majority of the whole world: Sit down in the boat, nothing during the last 2 years have gone wrong. You are on the right track for sure ! Wait and see. Ask anyone from Unmik, Eulex or OSCE if Kosovo is a country. The answear is a No.

Basque people will continue to do whatever they have done during last 5 decades despite K-recognition and it will be up to Spain to solve the opened issues with that minority. Spain will recognize K and it will do so when the time is right.

Sorry Miri - but in Spain Thaci & Co propaganda don't exist. Spain will NOT recognise Kosovo, because Kosovo is illegal, false state despite US or UK pressure.

Strange.Spain looks every day more like Serbia in his stance. Interesting... Spain can loss more with issue of north than with Kosova recognision.Nice, I personaly like this. Why not. Serbia has to lose nothing, she already lost, but Spain yes if it continue like this. It's very difficult and risky to stand agains new order. Heroes are dead.

@ DIRTAN, BOSSS & Co.

No mistake in the number of 60 here. That's the current count of countries that still recognize "Kosova".
The discrepancy of 5 is coming from the fact that 5 very powerful and important countries have in secret annulled their recognition decision. They do not want to make it public at present, fearing the mighty numbers of Albanians worldwide, led by heroic Kosova police/army that will with unstoppable force easily overrun their countries and claim the new Illyrian territories once for ever. Living happily ever after as the youngest democracy in the world, with happiest minorities,w.heroes Thaci,Kuci,Buci,Haradinaj, Morina(?)Sejdiu,polar bears, you name it... Then Russia will recognize as well (or they did already?)

And where does your knowledge of this come from? Which countries? I suppose this may be true... but I think it's just wishful thinking on your part.
(Dan UK, 24 February 2010 19:18)

No, it is true, the information came from k-usa and he is the best informed of all of us, so you better believe in it!

-- Wow, if "Melena.B" has recognized Kosovo, stop the presses! This will resonate in the UNSC. But, as an American I do NOT recognize Kosovo, so I guess we negate each other:)
(Jason, 25 February 2010)

Jason if you knew anything about Spanish history you'd realize that M.B is a Catalan and all Catalans are pro-Kosova as they're waging their secessionist war towards Spain.

I forgive you though since your education system has in all likelihood failed you. And your action is negated by your Prez and Congress.

Gotta love B92, three articles within the same day on Serbia thanking countries for not recognizing Kosova's independence. Must be getting desperate. Hurry and send thank you notes to the remaining 120 something countries.

You just neutralised another separatist.
Looks like there are Albanians in Barcelona as well.
(Peggy, 25 February 2010)

Peggy having read your comments for a while I wouldn't expect you to be aware of Catalonia's (with Barcelona as its capital) struggle for independence from Spain. It took a Milosevic like figure in Spain's Franco to brutally repress their aspirations for freedom.

Ataman,
your point well taken, but I wish you could check google or youtube and enter the name of Majlinda Kelmendi. It is a public record no matter how hard some try to avoid it (serb news media in particular).
(Kosova-USA, 24 February 2010 18:05)


Hehe Majlinda again.Huge succes winning an event which interests only the relatives of competitors.Yeah we see her day by day on major sports chanels.Last time you mentined her here this is what one of more normal albanians answered if you happened to have forgotten it.



Kosova-USA, I've seen many of your comments here and let me just say, from Albanian to Albanian, please cease. You're just an embarrassment. You know full well that we have not been successful at sports, and granted that we have had talent, they have always been bought by other countries. I would understand if the article had something to do with Kosova, but it is completely unrelated. You do sound bitter, nosy, and just rude. Either post something constructive or don't at all.
(qepe, 21 September 2009 08:25)

oh my gosh...

what happened to "never"

"At the same time, two MPs of the Basque Nationalist Party will be visiting Priština"

Serbia should block having a terrorist organization enter its sovereign territory.

"most of Spain wanna recognize Kosovo,& that incl abt 95% of population in Barcelona,"

-- Just like Kosovo-USA you lack something called FACTS. I call BS on this.

"..Madrid wont recognize you, but then we the catal, dont recognize Madrid really,, Madrid is playing stupid with the rest of Western countries,they,r only showing off, something that all Spain is against of,,Happy indep Koosovo,, i have already recognized you, as a good & friendly people in EU...

I know plenty of Albanian trained doctors and lawyers who have passed the board and bar exams in the U.S.. A Kosovar trained doctor even works at the Hackensack University Hospital in your home state.

Logic, Mikael C, Ataman, you really made me laugh today, tx...

Well, we can only praise the spanish position to be in line with what should be the respect of the 1244 resolution!
Unfortunately too many countries ignored it and some others most probably never read it or were "forced" to ignore it before recognizing this illegal UDI.

Of course no surprise to see the k-camp spiting on Spain and its representant.
Who hasn't the same opinion as the k-a, is automatically an ennemy!

I wish you could check google or youtube and enter the name of Majlinda Kelmendi.
(Kosova-USA, 24 February 2010 18:05)

Did it. The only thing I am not very happy about her - she is way to young for me (or the other way: I am way to old for her).

As there are Serbs everywhere

-- I do not need to be an expert in Spanish history to question the identity of someone on this site. Most people know the deal with Basque separatists (terrorists like ETA) and Catalan as well. The vast majority of Spaniards, I would assert, are pro-Serbian. (Jason, 25 February 2010)

Why would you question someone's identity? For all your anti-Albanian vitriol no one is questioning your identity or calling you a Serb.

And I beg to differ on the necessary Spanish history expertise. You ignorantly assume that all Spaniards are pro Serb but if you knew of the Basque and Catalunya's struggle for independence from Spain you wouldn't have made those snide remarks which frankly seemed very petty.

As for countries educational system, though it lacks some things, it is a world better than Kosovo's where one can become a doctor or lawyer with a year or two and a few thousand euros.
(Jason, 25 February 2010)

That may be true but at least up to high school students at least get a real education and whatever they don't learn in school they get it from the media, unlike the U.S. where the populace is kept purposely ignorant.

Well the problem is rather not her age but the fact that "she" is too masculine

Even the strongest sailors would envy such thick and hairy forearm."Girls" with too high testosteron level are not too atractive for me.Perhaps doping checks at such low level sports events are not too serious.

I am ready to recognize all Melenas, be them Melena."B"(erisha) or Melena."G"onzales.
The problem is rather the other way. :-(

BTW:
Good news: in Russia it's always the man who says the last word.
Bad news: that last phrase is usually "yes, honey".

Mr.Moratinos couldn´t be clearer on that, right?

Hehe Majlinda again.
(szemi, 24 February 2010 21:14)

I have no problem on that. As said many times, sport, girls, friends and family have nothing to do with politics.

Anyway, she looks hot and I end the topic here. I am sure B92 will censor the rest as sexually inappropriate.

On less sexual content: imagine for a moment, that "ZERO" kilometer stone in Budapest marks the Croatian/Serbian/Slovak triple border and Vlora Citaku is the president.

1) The cakes is Serbia/KosMet are rather of German (less sweet, more substance) style and cost 1.5 times less than in Hungary

2) The 0.5% milk costs in Slovakia precisely the half it does in Hungary

3) The prshut and the Croatian smoked tongue is not that far away

4) Viktor Orbán has to learn Serbian and Albanian

5) Tácsi Bácsi is busy with MÁV and BKV corruption, no time for small things like hashish.

I see only benefits.

It's called sarcasm mate.
And yes, I am aware of the separatists in Spain.
