Isn't it a bit cheeky of Serbia to imply that the conference in Slovenia may not be held? I didn't realize that the guest decides whether a party is to take place. What's more, in this case the particular guest even decides who is on the guest list. No wonder, this guest has problems facing reality!

When mighty Uncle Sam and over 90% of western democracies say that Kosova is Independente, WHO cares for the rest of the World?
(Kosova-USA, 11 March 2010, 07:54)

Spoken like a true imperialist. The global south has almost entirely rejected Kosovo's independence. How can this be? Maybe because much of the Western democratic countries' collective policies over the centuries have raped the global south of its resources and helped cause it to be in the sad state of affiars it is in today. So to you, might makes right.

For the day dreamers that still think Serbia is a power house, let me just polity disagree.Landlocked, with economy in shambles and shrinking population Serbia anatomy does not look very healthy. According to its own sources, Serbia is loosing every year population the size of small city.Brain drain that exploded during Milosevic era still continues.
On the other hand Albanians are fast moving forward.With new Adriatic hi way dynamic young population and huge reserves of resources thing are looking brighter than ever before.With Independence recognized by countries that lead the world, many companies are planning projects in Kosovo and Albanian. Excellent relation with countries in the region also is a plus.Clear European integration goal without hesitation has always been the main agenda.

Wow!!! You think you put everyone on the spot. You mention Serbia but you didn't say what kind of Serbia are you talking about? Serbia the country who created so many wars in former Yugoslavia? Or distinguished Serbia in ethnic cleansing of Croats, Bosniaks and Kosovo's Albanians? Tell what Serbia are you talking about because you missed the crucial moments....)

This two "regional conferences", Slovenia-Croatian and EU, are very sly and perfidy planned attempt to destruct present perfect momentum and success we are having in dealing with Kosovo issue diplomatically.

Our only concern and aim, at the moment, is to wait for possibly positive decision by ICJ ruling and to force few reversals of "recognitions" by some countries who suggested that option. And then the "Kosovo black hole state" dream is over.

With this 2 quasi conferences West is trying to destruct this course of the action from our side, minimalize ICJ importance and move to the "next stage" having Kosovo on regional and...conferences, the move we should block without mercy.

So simple message : no contacts with Kosovo Albanian authorities at this stage are productive for us apart informal moves with no real and no aimed goals apart of the once which may improving our formal diplomatic stand out.

However, ethnic Albanian authorities in Priština are insisting that Kosovo be treated as a "sovereign country".

But as Kosovo is not a state but a province this is not a valid demand.

The conference will be held without the participation of Serbia. No doubt about that because Serbia is not s important as many seem to think. And even if it was Serbia has no right tu put such demands on those countrys wich already have recognized Kosovo. It's like shooting your self in the foot. The same happend with the inaguration of the president of Croatia.


Serbia can come to conferences when she is ready to accept Kosovo as a country.Unmik-Kosovo is not going to help Serbia much because that won't make Kosovo less independence in reality.


But Slovenia cannot treat Kosovo as Unmik-Kosovo because Slovenia and Croatia consider Kosovo to be a state and have to treat it that way. The cannot back down from that if they are real respected countrys.

This is a wake-up-call for the region, the EU and the US. Serbias claim to its own territory will never go away.

Concerning this so called "conference" there are 2 issues we are not to negotiate about: first that Kosovo can be represented only and only via Umnik and second of all that any of our State Officials cannot get involved in diplomatic contacts (God forbid, shaking hands) with the figures which are on the crime suspect list in Serbia and in this case I am thinking about Thaci.

As well, any future and this particular initiatives by Slovenia and Croatia are to be dismissed.Their idea is again nothing more then their political self-promotion and chance to regain Serbian and...markets under their conditions and environment they prefer. Sorry, it will not happen, never ever.
Just few months ago Croatia eloquently lied for Kosovo at the ICJ and now we are to see them as peaceful coordinators? Joke!
The regional conferences are to be held respecting our conditions or there will be none.
In that context the one which is fore-coming and will be organized by EU and Spain may attract our interest if our conditions are met.

They have bitten off more than they can chew let's hope it doesn't choke them. They have been slapped down by EU members such as Spain.

Now there you have it my friends. There is no point having this conference if Serbia does not attend, so it will be cancelled instead. Priština insisting on the impossible is holding the whole region back. Slovenia and Croatia will soon have to choose who is more important, the criminal entity of "Kosova" or Serbia.

The next conference is being organised by Spain as part of the EU and held in BiH. I think it's fairly obvious where "Kosova" will stand there. This conference will be very successful even if "Kosova" decides not to attend. Either come as UNMIK-Kosovo or don't bother.

Time for status negotiations I think otherwise Priština will continue to hold the region back.

Let's rephrase your comment like this: Once again, Kosovo's Albanians are showing the world that they are a destabilizing force in the region by insisting on being treated as an independent state when the vast majority of the world does not subscribe to their false belief.

For the day dreamers that still think Serbia is a power house, let me just polity disagree.Landlocked, with economy in shambles and shrinking population Serbia anatomy does not look very healthy. According to its own sources, Serbia is loosing every year population the size of small city.Brain drain that exploded during Milosevic era still continues.
On the other hand Albanians are fast moving forward.With new Adriatic hi way dynamic young population and huge reserves of resources thing are looking brighter than ever before.With Independence recognized by countries that lead the world, many companies are planning projects in Kosovo and Albanian. Excellent relation with countries in the region also is a plus.Clear European integration goal without hesitation has always been the main agenda.

Summed up beautifully, Daniel.

When mighty Uncle Sam and over 90% of western democracies say that Kosova is Independente, WHO cares for the rest of the World?

"Slovenia and Croatia will soon have to choose who is more important, the criminal entity of "Kosova" or Serbia.

(Zoran, 10 March 2010 10:44)

Wow!!! You think you put everyone on the spot. You mention Serbia but you didn't say what kind of Serbia are you talking about? Serbia the country who created so many wars in former Yugoslavia? Or distinguished Serbia in ethnic cleansing of Croats, Bosniaks and Kosovo's Albanians? Tell what Serbia are you talking about because you missed the crucial moments....)

If being destructive means fighting for international law in a peaceful way and refusing to let go of territory that has belonged to Serbia for thousands of years then I guess we are destructive.

This two "regional conferences", Slovenia-Croatian and EU, are very sly and perfidy planned attempt to destruct present perfect momentum and success we are having in dealing with Kosovo issue diplomatically.

Our only concern and aim, at the moment, is to wait for possibly positive decision by ICJ ruling and to force few reversals of "recognitions" by some countries who suggested that option. And then the "Kosovo black hole state" dream is over.

With this 2 quasi conferences West is trying to destruct this course of the action from our side, minimalize ICJ importance and move to the "next stage" having Kosovo on regional and...conferences, the move we should block without mercy.

So simple message : no contacts with Kosovo Albanian authorities at this stage are productive for us apart informal moves with no real and no aimed goals apart of the once which may improving our formal diplomatic stand out.

Serbia is still the power house, even with the West pinning all against them. In the end we all know that your neighbors can either get along or move. Serbia is not moving.

the way I see it is that all this fuss over the fact that Kosovo does not want to be labeled UMNIK and they are accomodating Kosovo not Serbia

Wrong again, this shows exactly the illegal behaviour being played by your representatives in Kosovo, Serbia. Good day :)

Isn't it a bit cheeky of Serbia to imply that the conference in Slovenia may not be held? I didn't realize that the guest decides whether a party is to take place. What's more, in this case the particular guest even decides who is on the guest list. No wonder, this guest has problems facing reality!

To: EA,

Well mate seems like you missed the point entirely again. Kosovo is Serbia, so by choosing Serbia they choose the whole territory of Serbia. :)

Spoken like a true imperialist. The global south has almost entirely rejected Kosovo's independence. How can this be? Maybe because much of the Western democratic countries' collective policies over the centuries have raped the global south of its resources and helped cause it to be in the sad state of affiars it is in today. So to you, might makes right.

again this is why we needed and still need a mutual agreement on the future status of kosovo i metohija. Without that the development of the western balkans is doomed as you can see right now.

Yes, the good old "Do as I say, not as I do".

US and Western Imperialism summed up perfectly.

Tally Ho!

Then why the mighty USA does not say that Tibet is independent? Or Kurdistan? Or Abkhazia? Or Basque?
