Kosovo minister calls for peace, dialogue

This coming from a dude that calls us terrorists at least twice a month. He changed it a little bit this month. He called us terrorists and then the second time arsonists. You see the Serb state ethnically cleanses about a million of us, killed thousands, calls us thugs, terrorists, arsonists, on a daily basis and then calls for peace?

Very well mr Bogdanović!! Opening of new factories in serb areas of KiM is very important for K-Serbs, because unemployment of these peoples...

"EU becomes more and more dependent on Russia and US & UK lose more credibility"

For you and many Europeans it is time to wake up to the reality. In light of Europe's crisis the time of dreams is over. Russia is mainly a rich country in natural resources with obsolate industries neeeding help from the West for modernization. Russia has to help herself before being able to help anybody but small ex-Soviet countries. As for the USA the last few weeks too show clearly that despite its problems by far it remaines the strongest, MOST STABLE country in the world. The euro is sinking like a stone. Yesterday it closed at 1.2358 dollars. ...it will fall further.

Normalizing relations is the only way to prepare Albanians for inevitable re-integration with Serbia. After the ICJ rules in our favor, as EU becomes more and more dependent on Russia and US & UK lose more credibility, the Albanians have little choice.

I live in Germany and strongly believe that Serbs and Albanians actually have more in common then most people would think. For example, I worked with people from all over the world and must say that most people from the balkans seem to stick together. Croats, Serbs, Albanians, Bosnjaks etc once shared a country. You were good neighbours once. Perhaps it should be again.

a very very good idea!! i would love to see serbs and albanians to stop hating each others, lets forget the past and move forward.

That's very nice and dandy, but this is news B92? It's not like Bin Laden called for peace.You got a really strange way of choosing your news topics. By the way, I am calling on all the people of the world to love puppies & I strongly condemn anyone who doesn't join me on this, seriously!

Yep. The greenback is rising against the Euro at the moment thanks to Greece apeing you Yankees in your spending habits (talk about a bad influence!) .... besides the dollar, I wonder what else is rising about you guys......

OKAYY!!!! I think everyone on this post is taking this a bit too close to the heart.

This is not a political statement, his desire for cooperation is what the whole "world" is suggesting. Not for the sake of "independant-non-independant" Kosovo, but rather for the people living there.

The situation in Kosovo is awful, on all sides of the rim. Looking at the situation politically brings out an emotion that are both nationalistic, and egoistic.

It is time we put all this aside and look at what is truly happening. We must remain aware. Of all the rambling coming from all sides, pointing fingers, hating and excuses, we forget the most important element in the equation.... The better living standard for our people in Kosovo.

The politicians on all fronts want us to ignore this reality, because this reality will bring too much responsibility unto their hands.

The snakes continues to slither, and many are in fear of it... but the snakes are no match for our desire for peace and prosperity, we walk, standing tall, while the snake drags its body on the ground, where it belongs... the time is now for no fear.

well, you might just have to condemn the entire Moslem population in the world then! I heard that their religion does not allow them to touch dogs .... mind you that you don't end up with a fatwa issue against you by some cleric!

Were the albanians clensed before the war or during? Thank nato for that. Besides, if you want to go back in time why don't you go back to WW2 when albanians murdered and clensed hundreds of thousand Serbs. You go back in time only to those events that fitt your purpuse of justifying the theft of Kosovo. What do you call the ethnic clensing of Serbs and the burning down of their places of worship? You are a hypocrit, I hope you realize that. All other balkan states have managed to put their differences aside and move forward except for the albanians. Ask yourself why that is? Here is a hint:

Johny - do You remember, that Your beloved american friends called Your heroes from UCK as terrorists?? Becouse I remember that. Do You remember that Your beloved heroes attacked serbian civilians and ethnically cleansed serbian areas of Kosovo?? Becouse I remember this time. And finally - You are probably inteligent man, so You must understand, that nobody in Republic of Serbia will love nationalistic separatists, who need to steal 15% of Republic territory. But if You leave nationalistic separatisic dreams - real peace can back to Kosoivo and all Balkan. It's not difficult - You must only leave Fantasy World and back to reality.

Kosovo minister calls for peace, dialogue...

Honestly, Serbia must find a more serious representation of her interest about Kosovo than this so called minister. I must admit, often Bogdanovic reminds me of the infamous Iraq's Comical Ali. Many of his speeches overlook the Kosovo reality on the ground.

Actually I was being perfectly serious. If it sounds dirty, that's because the Yankees never came with clean hands in the first place. Just look at the mess that they created everywhere that they lay their hands on!

How is the mass grave digging going Mr. Kosovo Minister? Do you have enough body bags?

What a blind hypocrite.

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

Don't you just love to tell a good yarn?
A million of Albanians were enthically cleansed!!!
C'mon, it sounds like a fishing story.
How do you explain then that your numbers in Kosovo has not decreased while Serbs are almost wiped out?
It is the Serbs who have been ethnically cleansed from Kosovo. Figures don't lie.

=====================
Is that so? It's when NATO stated to bomb that most Albanians left.

So how do you explain the significant decrease in Serbian popultion there?
Where are they and why can't they come back? Don't start with any war criminal rubbish. They are not all war criminals. They are normal families in fear for their lives.
If they are gone and cannot return, doesn't that prove ethnic cleansing by Albanians?
My God man, you guys invented ethnic cleansing.

Serb population went down due to fear of living in Kosovo from K-Alb sporadic revenge, and not to a systematic, centrally organized and well planned ethnic cleansing campaign.

Oh yes???? Denis - please, come to Prizren and watch serbian district of this city. It was destroyed in 2004 - years after war!! Before war in Prizren lived about 10 thousands Serbs and today - nearly ZERO. It's not ethnic cleansig????

And show other areas of Kosovo - on territories where serbian population were covered agaist albanian mobs - today still live K-Serbs. Uncovered territories - were totally cleaned.

Peggy said: "Is that so? It's when NATO stated to bomb that most Albanians left. "

- Ok so you are claiming that there were thousands and thousands of Serbs in Kosova. I agree with this. Now unless you are claiming that NATO was able to produce bombs that are able to target specific ethnicities, why then did only the Albanians in Prishtina leave while Serbs didn't during the bombing? You know these people lived in the same buildings. Why did Albanians leave from the NATO bombs and Serbs didn't. What made the Albanians so afraid they had to leave while Serbs didn't? I give you a hint. The Serb military didn't target Serbs for ethnic cleansing. It only targeted Albanians, before, during and after the bombings until the Serb military was made to leave. Albanians didn't suddenly leave during the bombings. They were leaving in the days prior to the bombings. During the bombings the Serbian campaign of ethnic cleansing reached its height.

Normalizing relations is the only way to prepare Albanians for inevitable re-integration with Serbia. After the ICJ rules in our favor, as EU becomes more and more dependent on Russia and US & UK lose more credibility, the Albanians have little choice.
