How about a couple of hundred homes to be built in Pristina for the Serbs. I would like to see that happen. What's good for the goose..... as the English say.

Where's the warrant?
That's right you.... guys are just playing law and order house. When anyone who ever spent one week in Kosovo knows there'll never be any law or order. All anyone can ever do is try to keep it under control. It's lawless hopeless and it will stay that way especially with the big freeze now.

Just Asking,

You have completely missed the point - and again failed to address the overwhelming evidence pointing to Thachi being a pure criminal.

Mr. Roy Reeve is an outstanding individual who does not have his integrity questioned in the international community - so stop trying to go off on a tangent.

The whole point of my initial post is the irony of having a criminal thug like Thachi call for law and order anywhere! Amazing. This is as bad as Haradinaj saying that corruption and organized crime are problems with the Thachi administration. Hysterical.

In case you are not getting it still, its like David Hasselhoff telling someone to sober up. Anyway, you can deny Thachi's links to crime all you like but the evidence is out there and its overwhelming.

Were Thachi not a tool of the West he would be in prison somewhere.

Actually the only one distracting attention here is you. Because as far as I know the headline still reads: "Thaci in favor of "rule of law in north" "

But let me just quote a person you should know, the Deputy Head of EULEX: "“EULEX is trying to build up the rule of law in four main areas in the north. The first and most important is to restore full operations at the District Court in north Mitrovica. It is a huge humanitarian issue. The second area is to reinstate customs checks at gates 1 and 31. The third is to support the local police with our EULEX presence in every police station in northern Kosovo. And the fourth is to use our executive powers when and if needed. All this will contribute to the security and stability situation."

While I also think Thaci should keep well out of the north and allow self-determination, Niall's typically vicious anti-Albanian comments about "gangsters" etc are so incredibly similar to decades of right-wing British nationalist, Tory and Ulster Unionist vicious anti-Irish racism and vicious scapegoating of the IRA and any Irish independence fighters that one can only assume he has adopted all their language, essentially "internalising" the language of the oppressor to use against another people who, like the Irish, also had to struggle against oppression and so are also rgularly targeted with this kind of language.

Reading your comments tells me that you have not been around politicians very much so I let you in a little secret. What they say in public is one thing while what is discussed behind closed doors is another. I can tell you that the EU did not like Serbia’s UN resolution and when it came out that Russia and China would support it then the issue was even more of a concern to them.

Tadic was playing the diplomat in saying that “Vast Majority of EU States were Satisfied with Serbia’s Resolution” and the EU was smiling not because it had something to smile about but it could do nothing about it.

This Kosovo matter has more years to run before its finally played out. Why would Serbia agree to anything when it knows that no amount of UN GA support for a seat will change the situation while Serbia has the VETO in the UNSC through China, Russia and very soon India. It is also common knowledge that thousands of Albos are trying to leave Kosovo because there is no work and no future – in fact it now has the highest suicides rates in Europe; disputes involving guns and killings and drug trafficking is very high. These are all symptoms of a region under siege so in reality why would you give up now?

It is almost crazy to think that Thaci, who's sights are to clearly strip Kosovo entirely away from Serbia would actually try to impose "rule of law" to a majority Serb population all bordering Central Serbia.

There is a reason K. Albanians are insisting on N. Mitrovica and the surrounding areas. If Serbia refuses to accept partition then it keeps that area in Kosovo while it continues to reject Thacis "rule of law". This leaves a seperate Kosovo with holes and open for exploitation in the future.

Serbia, hold on to N. Mitrovica, Gracanica & Strpce. Don't let them fool you, this is still ours and we will turn those areas into the very best parts of Kosovo.

This will be a case where the 10% minority will have better living standards than the 90% majority, who will still be the poorest people in Europe.


...This is only if Serbia can get a truly independent government that looks out for Serbia's national interests, as well as economic ones.

When the time is right, naturally we will take it all back. Until then, work with what we have. It's up to us.

I think that many people think one of the main reasons that Serbia submitted its Resolution to the United Nations General Assembly, is because the EU knew that other countries would have submitted their own Resolution.

We all know that on July 22 2010, a majority of ICJ Judges said that, the Kosovo Albanian Unilateral Declaration of Independence, made in February 2008, did not violate International Law, since no provision in International Law actively prohibited such proclamations.

On July 24 2010, the Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia, Bozidar Delic said: “It would be best for Serbia to accept the EU’s offer to create a joint resolution that would be submitted to the UN General Assembly together.

On July 30 2010, President Boris Tadic said: “That while drafting the resolution, Serbia consulted European partners regarding the resolution, and that the text Satisfied the European Commission, and the Vast Majority of EU Member States.

We all know that the Vast Majority of EU Countries have recognized Kosovo as an independent country, and we have President Boris Tadic saying that the Vast Majority of EU States were Satisfied with Serbia’s Resolution.

We all understand that the leading EU Countries told the Serbian Government to submit the joint Resolution to the United Nations General Assembly.

Even though Serbia’s Resolution is in reality a Brussels’ Resolution, I think that the Serbian Government should try to get as much support from other United Nations Countries for real and proper negotiations between Serbia and the Albanians of Serbia’s province of Kosovo.

dht

pre 13 godina

Mr. Thaci tries to provoke and threatens.

Ethnic cleansing, like that commited against Serbs, Roma, etc. in 2004, may occur again in Kosovo.

The Serbs, Roma, etc. in Kosovo have a right to become protected against
violence, murder and ethnic cleansing. And at least the protection in the north of Kosovo is practicable.

NATO/KFOR have proven again and again that they are not really willing to protect the Serbs, Roma, etc.

Serbia, hold on to N. Mitrovica, Gracanica & Strpce. Don't let them fool you, this is still ours and we will turn those areas into the very best parts of Kosovo.

This will be a case where the 10% minority will have better living standards than the 90% majority, who will still be the poorest people in Europe.


...This is only if Serbia can get a truly independent government that looks out for Serbia's national interests, as well as economic ones.

When the time is right, naturally we will take it all back. Until then, work with what we have. It's up to us.

"...Thaci “Snake” founded and organized the Drenica Group that soon rose as the dominant and most well known criminal organization of the Balkans. It concerned itself (and still does) with weapons smuggling, heroin, cocaine and cigarettes, automobile theft, prostitution and other profitable jobs that are common for mafia groups. “Drenica” soon made connections with key organizations in Albania, the Czech Republic, and Macedonia, creating a large-scale criminal organization, which according to Can Karpat’s report, was sealed with a marriage between Thaci’s sister and Sejdij Bajrush, one of the most infamous leaders of the Albanian mafia."

I think that many people think one of the main reasons that Serbia submitted its Resolution to the United Nations General Assembly, is because the EU knew that other countries would have submitted their own Resolution.

We all know that on July 22 2010, a majority of ICJ Judges said that, the Kosovo Albanian Unilateral Declaration of Independence, made in February 2008, did not violate International Law, since no provision in International Law actively prohibited such proclamations.

On July 24 2010, the Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia, Bozidar Delic said: “It would be best for Serbia to accept the EU’s offer to create a joint resolution that would be submitted to the UN General Assembly together.

On July 30 2010, President Boris Tadic said: “That while drafting the resolution, Serbia consulted European partners regarding the resolution, and that the text Satisfied the European Commission, and the Vast Majority of EU Member States.

We all know that the Vast Majority of EU Countries have recognized Kosovo as an independent country, and we have President Boris Tadic saying that the Vast Majority of EU States were Satisfied with Serbia’s Resolution.

We all understand that the leading EU Countries told the Serbian Government to submit the joint Resolution to the United Nations General Assembly.

Even though Serbia’s Resolution is in reality a Brussels’ Resolution, I think that the Serbian Government should try to get as much support from other United Nations Countries for real and proper negotiations between Serbia and the Albanians of Serbia’s province of Kosovo.

Reading your comments tells me that you have not been around politicians very much so I let you in a little secret. What they say in public is one thing while what is discussed behind closed doors is another. I can tell you that the EU did not like Serbia’s UN resolution and when it came out that Russia and China would support it then the issue was even more of a concern to them.

Tadic was playing the diplomat in saying that “Vast Majority of EU States were Satisfied with Serbia’s Resolution” and the EU was smiling not because it had something to smile about but it could do nothing about it.

This Kosovo matter has more years to run before its finally played out. Why would Serbia agree to anything when it knows that no amount of UN GA support for a seat will change the situation while Serbia has the VETO in the UNSC through China, Russia and very soon India. It is also common knowledge that thousands of Albos are trying to leave Kosovo because there is no work and no future – in fact it now has the highest suicides rates in Europe; disputes involving guns and killings and drug trafficking is very high. These are all symptoms of a region under siege so in reality why would you give up now?
