Telekom workers released in Kosovo

“Based on the operative orders, if someone makes an unauthorized appearance to areas where the Telekom wires were cut, they will be taken to the station and we are ready to act on that,” commander of the Gračanica Kosovo police station, Bratislav Trajković, said.

Im glad we still have loyal K-Serbs who will work in the interest of Kosovo, well done commander!

Those dastardly criminals, those inhuman beasts, how dare they try to fix telecommunications infrastructure!!
This would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. That in this day and age, in the 21'st century, you have a fake/illegal/immoral country supported by the so called 'civilized west' which behaves like this - arresting people simply for trying to do their job and improve the infrastructure around them. It's sick, and the Americans here should be ashamed of their government for supporting this apartheid and these ghettos that Serbs are forced to live in, without even a smidgeon of human rights.

Yes, just doing their job.

I suspect it went something like this.

1. Telekom workers arrive to repair lines.

2. Police wait until they are finished and then arrest them.

3. They are taken to the police station and "locked" up while having a few black coffees and rakija with the police.

4. After a few hours, when they have sobered up, police release them and they return home.

5. Phone lines remain active until ethnic Albanian vandals destroy them (this may take weeks).

6. Start at step 1. but this time with different Telekom workers. Everyone gets a turn.

Yes, somehow funny and tragic that, of all persons, it's as Serb KPS policeman who is doing his job the way he is supposed to.

Btw., some news about the funny King Kurti case and the Kosovo Hills Cops, btw.? ;-)

Hey, maybe the Kosovo Serbs should start a petition with 100,000 signatures (from all around the world) for these Telekom workers?

-- What "interest" are you talking about? Knowing Gracanica, Zoran's scenario is probably more accurate than you know: one Serb KPS and one Serb Telekom worker - who probably know each other - spend an afternoon at the local police station / kafana. The police commander is "ordered" to round up "criminals". So he takes them in for a few hours. They talk about sports and the weather, smoke a pack, and releases them.

If he was that loyal, he wouldn't have released them.

"and the Americans here should be ashamed of their government for supporting this apartheid and these ghettos that Serbs are forced to live in, without even a smidgeon of human rights."

Why would they? These, and worse, are the exact circumstances under wich native americans are living (and the Palestinians).It´s called "globalisation" of "democracy", a good life if you are among the few choosen and their local clients...

So, can we assume that Kosovans don't do electronics (except improvised explosives). This is so typical of what we had predicted these people would be like. Whilst Serbia is a 21st century country, regrettably Thaci the Democrat and his followers are still in the 17th.
By the way, did the EU accept boxes of cigarettes as downpayment on the Kosovan contribution to the Greek bailout-after our expereince with Bulgaria and Romania, the new EU doesn't do credit anymore so new members have to contribute first and get later.
But arresting telecoms workers is a sign of how far this faux nation has to go before we can begin to take them seriously.

The arrest of telecom workers, who were just doing their job in the interest of their clients, Kosovo authorities just showed how unsuccessful their policy towards Serbian minority is. Instead to try to win over and integrate Kosovo Serbs with some positive acts, authorities in Pristina are trying to intimidate and force them to into the system.
What a disappointing and shortsighted policy!

What a pathetic action, by a pathetic and simple-minded group of people (K albaniaks). What next, block the sewers in Serb areas so they can't use their toilets? This all smells.

Are you one of them?

They have alcoholism and drug problems but not phone problems.

"It is no secret to anyone that the Serbs don't have the slightest inclination to integrate." (Joe)

-- And knowing the international community's ambivalence on forcing them to integrate, coupled with Pristina's proven inability at running a country, least of all a multiethnic country, can you really blame them? I can't.

If one is forced into a "ghetto" is one thing, if someone chooses to live a certain way is another.
The residents of the Serb enclaves have always had the right to electricity, if they pay the bills like everyone else, and phone service has never been removed from the areas, only illegal phone service.
If someone "chooses" to live without electricity and phone, why should it concern anyone else.
It is also obvious you have no idea about the opportunities available to Native Americans today.

"Instead to try to win over and integrate Kosovo Serbs with some positive acts" Robert

Well, they tried it but the Serbs interpreted it as a sign of weakness.
It is no secret to anyone that the Serbs don't have the slightest inclination to integrate.

If Serbia cared enough about the Serb population in Kosovo they would request permits for the transmitters. What they care about is nationalism and votes from nationalists. Recognize Kosovo as independent so every one could get on with their lives already (including the Serbian population seeking EU integration)

Good for serbs Nato won't allow RepAlbania to deploy troops in Kfor mission, with all the slovak and slovenian and other slav-enians around, serbs still feel like at home in kosovo...Once Nato leaves, Albania shall rush in...Vendetta is crucial in balkan mentality, and we don't intend to forgive easily.
