"Miletić also said that there was need to hold high-level meetings with KFOR and those meetings will become more frequent in the future."

Exchanging strategies most likely on how best to tackle this blight.

Are you threattening us?!
I take it as a threat to Kosovo what he said.
All I can say I dare you to do any move to get into Kosovo!
You will forget 1999 what will happen if you do anything to move your millitary into territory of Kosovo.

"If the court decision is not in keeping with their interests, which I sincerely hope it won't be, destabilization and violence are possible."

Well as the general is talking about "ifs" how about if the ICJ would rule in favour of Kosovo/a's independence....how will Serbia will react? ...

(EA, 19 May 2010 20:46)

Serbia will react in this case just like Kosovo in the other possible outcome: They will ignore it, and say that the ICJ ruling is not binding, and it's against the constitution, bla.. bla...

But about the "destabilization and violence": I think, too that this is possible, maybe even likely.

You might remember the 2004 events: Violence, looting and some persons even getting killed. Why? Because of almost nothing: Just a stupid (or maybe even planned) campagne in Kosovo media spreading blatent lies and unfounded accusations about kids being killed by Serbs, who in fact just drowned by incident in a river.

It is pretty worrying that in 21st century, a high official of his rank still talks in a language that brings back the ghosts of yesterday and provokes tension.

He is wrong. The biggest threat is coming from NATO.
Without NATO intrusion, the Kosovo problem would have been fixed and Serbia with Kosovo enjoying EU membership right now.

With all those expelled Albanians living in Macedonia and in mass graves inside Serbia? What a solution for EU membership.

A bit of moral check wouldn't harm Serbia.
It is the Serbian controlled north of Kosova that is the cradle of crime and lawless. It is not me saying this; it is the UN sec Generals report to UN SC all his reports that affirm this. It is the same people that were driving trucks in 1999...

My friend you can tell to someone who really is a dumb and doesn't know nothing but when it comes to security Serbia still can the biggest threat to balkan,EU and speciality to Albanians after knowing well what Serbian forces are capability (history tell all)to do ....so one thing Kosovo has to work hard and spend last penny when it come to protect Himself from any threats come from anyone...

Would it be "Serbia has got great respect for the international law and will fully honour the Opinion of ICJ", "Serbia will swiftly recognise Kosovo/a independence" and "will apologise to Kosovo/a people for its stupid and uncostructive action by taking the matter to ICJ"

And yeah next time Serbia tries to start a war with Albanians this is what's going to happen: Albanians all over Europe will beg Serbia not to do anything in return all the Albanians will leave Europe for good and perhaps end up in another planet. My dear Serb friends please get rid of that sickening attitude ofvsuperiority you guys have towards others. Bluntly just like all other ex-yugo people Albanians are as much trained and professional to carrying out an armed conflict! What makes you Serbs think that you can win the war. First you are no rich country to self-sustain the war. However, if that makes you happy bring it on my friend! But I doubt it, regular hard working Serbs and Albanians are not going to fall for this hatefully propaganda coming from this military goon and some of these commentators at b92 who vast majority of them live out of Serbia.

Yesterday, I read an article written by an albo who stated that kosovo will never be accepted into europe unless it is de-islamized. I can see that this is their last line of defense, constructed by america. When they lose the ICJ case and most of the recognitions, america will claim that the k-albos are actually Serbs and kosovo is a Serbian country outside of Serbia.

“The territory of Kosovo and Metohija was a stronghold of organized crime back in 1999. Crimes that were organised and committed by the security forces themselves.

Kosova’s biggest security challenge is to ensure that these so called “security forces” are kept outside of Kosova, and thanks to NATO for allowing this to be realised then, today and in the future.

(berat, 19 May 2010 11:07)

Yes, in the beginning, it was the opposite. KFOR was there to keep peace by protect people from looting and slaughtering Serbian paramilitaries. But you might have noticed that KFORs tasks have changed, now that the war is over and there are not many Serbs left in Kosovo. Their current task is still to keep peace, but now they have to do it by protecting Serbian villages and monestaries against the Albanian mob (2004).

What the general says is true. Unfortunately those politicians and governements who support kosovo albanian irredentism refuse to highlight this.

Unfortunately there are still some how blame the Serbs rather than question the absolute failure of their own politicians over corruption and organized crime.

As I posted before:

"The South East criminal hub is very active in both producing various commodities and acting as a busy transit,warehousing and re-packaging zone.There are at least three main feeders and relevant routes directly influencing the South East criminal hub:North (the Ukraine and Moldova),Centre (Western Balkans) and South (Turkey).

The significance of the port of Constanta in the cocaine traffic is growing,and cocaine seems to be increasingly arriving in the EU through Turkey and/or the Balkans.This may be due to the increased involvement of Turkish and ethnic Albanian groups in the cocaine distribution chain,but may also be the effect of the already well-established role of West Africa as a transit zone."

P.23

"The most active OC groups involved in trafficking human beings in the EU are Bulgarian, Nigerian and Romanian. Groups from other Balkan countries, China, Moldova, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam are also frequently reported. Albanian OC groups tend to exploit victims trafficked by other groups."

"There are at least three main feeders and relevant routes directly influencing the South East criminal hub: ...

Centre (the Balkans):Albania,Kosovo/Serbia, Montenegro and FYROM Origin and/or transit point for cannabis products,i llegal immigrants/victims of trafficking, heroin, cocaine, cigarettes, synthetic
drugs and precursors, counterfeit Euros and arms into the EU."

P.34

"Regional distribution in South East Europe seems however still to be in the hands of ethnic Albanian groups, with Albania serving as a pre-gathering and transport centre for the distribution of
heroin into the EU....The South East criminal hub also impacts strongly upon the Southern hub. The links between Albania,the Kosovo region and Italy remain strong in trafficking in human beings,
heroin, cannabis products and increasingly also cocaine while Romania is an important gateway..."

P.37

of the final distribution starting from Albania and the Kosovo region and proceeding via Austria into Western Europe."

"There are indications suggesting the possibility that IN-SO strategies have been adopted by OCGs run by criminals with Albanian ethnicity or originating from the Caucasus region."

Kosovo's biggest threat comes fro from YOU and your kind! Not long ago your capital gave the orders to commit atrocities among the civilian population in Kosovo, dont think we easly forget that. Serbia could have ended this hostility right after the war, by accepting and asking for forgivness what was done in the name of Serbia, but no no you wanted to use Kosovo politically this is exactly why there will never be peace among us.

I think, given that the K-albanians, or at least the less-intelligent ones, who are dreaming of a greater-Albania and "Dardania" and other similar illusions, have shown their evil intentions in the last 10 years...

with destroying centuries-old churches and monasteries,

with desecrating graveyards ( what I see as the maximum of cowardice )

and even shooting on bathing children,

there wouldn´t be only 30.000 ready to "respond".

everyone in Serbia, except the old and the sick, would be ready.

but I would also remind that it is not all of the K-albanians, it´s only a minority, who is agitating ( allegedly ) for the "independence-project", the vast majority is not that stupid, but those fanatics who are profiting of the current situation will have to be sacked, before the situation can improve.

I think that´s all only a question of time.

and I am quite sure that some of these actors, who are eagerly playing the role of "president", "minister" etc. already have stolen enough money from their own poeple in order to secure their future life somewhere else.

you know, there are many possibilites to hide dirty money, not only in Switzerland...

You will forget 1999 what will happen if you do anything to move your millitary into territory of Kosovo.

"If the court decision is not in keeping with their interests, which I sincerely hope it won't be, destabilization and violence are possible."

Well as the general is talking about "ifs" how about if the ICJ would rule in favour of Kosovo/a's independence....how will Serbia will react? ...

(EA, 19 May 2010 20:46)

Serbia will react in this case just like Kosovo in the other possible outcome: They will ignore it, and say that the ICJ ruling is not binding, and it's against the constitution, bla.. bla...

But about the "destabilization and violence": I think, too that this is possible, maybe even likely.

You might remember the 2004 events: Violence, looting and some persons even getting killed. Why? Because of almost nothing: Just a stupid (or maybe even planned) campagne in Kosovo media spreading blatent lies and unfounded accusations about kids being killed by Serbs, who in fact just drowned by incident in a river.

He is wrong. The biggest threat is coming from NATO.
Without NATO intrusion, the Kosovo problem would have been fixed and Serbia with Kosovo enjoying EU membership right now.

With all those expelled Albanians living in Macedonia and in mass graves inside Serbia? What a solution for EU membership.

The biggest threat is not from Kosovo but from nationalist and criminal ethnic Albanians. And the threat is not only to Serbia but to many Balkan nations. This is what happens when you reward criminals and terrorists.

Kosovo's biggest threat comes fro from YOU and your kind! Not long ago your capital gave the orders to commit atrocities among the civilian population in Kosovo, dont think we easly forget that. Serbia could have ended this hostility right after the war, by accepting and asking for forgivness what was done in the name of Serbia, but no no you wanted to use Kosovo politically this is exactly why there will never be peace among us.

Yesterday, I read an article written by an albo who stated that kosovo will never be accepted into europe unless it is de-islamized. I can see that this is their last line of defense, constructed by america. When they lose the ICJ case and most of the recognitions, america will claim that the k-albos are actually Serbs and kosovo is a Serbian country outside of Serbia.

Mother Albania has a bigger chance of returning to grandmother Serbia, than the Preshevo Valley ever uniting with Albania - why would it, it is Serbia. PRN, you are poisoned by nationalism, and will waste your life hoping for some Greater Albania that never existed. How old is Albania as a country?

Jovan

pre 13 godina

I think, given that the K-albanians, or at least the less-intelligent ones, who are dreaming of a greater-Albania and "Dardania" and other similar illusions, have shown their evil intentions in the last 10 years...

with destroying centuries-old churches and monasteries,

with desecrating graveyards ( what I see as the maximum of cowardice )

and even shooting on bathing children,

there wouldn´t be only 30.000 ready to "respond".

everyone in Serbia, except the old and the sick, would be ready.

but I would also remind that it is not all of the K-albanians, it´s only a minority, who is agitating ( allegedly ) for the "independence-project", the vast majority is not that stupid, but those fanatics who are profiting of the current situation will have to be sacked, before the situation can improve.

I think that´s all only a question of time.

and I am quite sure that some of these actors, who are eagerly playing the role of "president", "minister" etc. already have stolen enough money from their own poeple in order to secure their future life somewhere else.

you know, there are many possibilites to hide dirty money, not only in Switzerland...

And yeah next time Serbia tries to start a war with Albanians this is what's going to happen: Albanians all over Europe will beg Serbia not to do anything in return all the Albanians will leave Europe for good and perhaps end up in another planet. My dear Serb friends please get rid of that sickening attitude ofvsuperiority you guys have towards others. Bluntly just like all other ex-yugo people Albanians are as much trained and professional to carrying out an armed conflict! What makes you Serbs think that you can win the war. First you are no rich country to self-sustain the war. However, if that makes you happy bring it on my friend! But I doubt it, regular hard working Serbs and Albanians are not going to fall for this hatefully propaganda coming from this military goon and some of these commentators at b92 who vast majority of them live out of Serbia.

Yes, in the beginning, it was the opposite. KFOR was there to keep peace by protect people from looting and slaughtering Serbian paramilitaries. But you might have noticed that KFORs tasks have changed, now that the war is over and there are not many Serbs left in Kosovo. Their current task is still to keep peace, but now they have to do it by protecting Serbian villages and monestaries against the Albanian mob (2004).

What the general says is true. Unfortunately those politicians and governements who support kosovo albanian irredentism refuse to highlight this.

Unfortunately there are still some how blame the Serbs rather than question the absolute failure of their own politicians over corruption and organized crime.

As I posted before:

EUROPOL report 'European Organised Crime Threat Assessment' (OCTA) 2009:

http://www.europol.europa.eu/index.asp?page=publications&language

OGC = Organized Crime Groups, IN-SO = Influence Societies and Economies

P.16
"The South East criminal hub is very active in both producing various commodities and acting as a busy transit,warehousing and re-packaging zone.There are at least three main feeders and relevant routes directly influencing the South East criminal hub:North (the Ukraine and Moldova),Centre (Western Balkans) and South (Turkey).

The significance of the port of Constanta in the cocaine traffic is growing,and cocaine seems to be increasingly arriving in the EU through Turkey and/or the Balkans.This may be due to the increased involvement of Turkish and ethnic Albanian groups in the cocaine distribution chain,but may also be the effect of the already well-established role of West Africa as a transit zone."

P.23

"The most active OC groups involved in trafficking human beings in the EU are Bulgarian, Nigerian and Romanian. Groups from other Balkan countries, China, Moldova, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam are also frequently reported. Albanian OC groups tend to exploit victims trafficked by other groups."

P.33

"There are at least three main feeders and relevant routes directly influencing the South East criminal hub: ...

Centre (the Balkans):Albania,Kosovo/Serbia, Montenegro and FYROM Origin and/or transit point for cannabis products,i llegal immigrants/victims of trafficking, heroin, cocaine, cigarettes, synthetic
drugs and precursors, counterfeit Euros and arms into the EU."

P.34

"Regional distribution in South East Europe seems however still to be in the hands of ethnic Albanian groups, with Albania serving as a pre-gathering and transport centre for the distribution of
heroin into the EU....The South East criminal hub also impacts strongly upon the Southern hub. The links between Albania,the Kosovo region and Italy remain strong in trafficking in human beings,
heroin, cannabis products and increasingly also cocaine while Romania is an important gateway..."

P.37

"The Turkish groups are using Romania and Bulgaria as entry points for heroin into the EU, and are co-operating with ethnic Albanian and Serbian groups who often handle at least certain parts
of the final distribution starting from Albania and the Kosovo region and proceeding via Austria into Western Europe."

P.46

"There are indications suggesting the possibility that IN-SO strategies have been adopted by OCGs run by criminals with Albanian ethnicity or originating from the Caucasus region."

Would it be "Serbia has got great respect for the international law and will fully honour the Opinion of ICJ", "Serbia will swiftly recognise Kosovo/a independence" and "will apologise to Kosovo/a people for its stupid and uncostructive action by taking the matter to ICJ"

Will that the be the Serbia's reflection "if" the ICJ rules on Kosovo independence favour?
