"Kosovo government and exchange ambassadors so that the lives of Serbian minority will improve and the religious sites will not be hated or attacked."
I think kosovOman has just told everyone who attacks 14th century christian churches and who deprives minorities. There will never be peace in kosovo, Serbs from North will never accept anything thrown at them
"I just want to update you that Serbia has tried option 1 and option 2 meny times in the past 100 years or so. It never worked and it never will. Kosovo Albanians are very determined to stay in their homes at any cost. What you are promoting doesn't work. It is in your own interest to get proper relations with Kosovo government and exchange ambassadors so that the lives of Serbian minority will improve and the religious sites will not be hated or attacked." - Kosovoman
Option 2 was really the modus operandi for the last 100 years. The only time option 1 was really tried was in 1999 and if it wasn't for NATO it would have succeeded.
However with Tito the floodgates of Kosovo got open, Albanians came in and made up big numbers and we got an uprising.
It is a sad fate that our people are destined to fight each other forever, and this is true of virtually all conflicts in the Balkans (and beyond). There needs to be some kind of human revolution that can stop this nature of life. Unfortunately for both of our people at minimum this generation and the next will grow up only promoting this anomisity.
This is why serbia will always tend towards option 1 even if politicans are doing/saying what looks like the complete opposite or complete capitulation. I expect the same sort of mindset from Albanians towards Serbs. Nothing ever changes.
1. Get the land of Kosovo back, minus the Albanians and resistive elements/occupiers.
2. Keep Kosovo as it is but have it as autonomous province under Serbia.

I agree with you completely, and I really hate to admit it. However, I have to admit and add that this little man has no rights any longer to use Kosovo as a tool for reaching own political goals in terms of staying in power as long as possible.

I think he and Peggy are too busy to come to Kosovo. Maintaining such strong opinions about things they know nothing about takes a lot of time and energy.
I am totally baffled. Are the English translations of his comments different from what he is saying in Serbian? Because in English all I see is 100% recognition of Kosovo indpendence and that Serbia gave up on Kosovo to join the EU? What is he saying in Serbian beause in English it is like he is Albanian himself.
Tadic is a Montenegrin from Sarajevo (born and raised in Sarajevo).
He totally neuters, as he just recently did, anything other Serbs do to try to fight for Serbia's and Serbs' rights.
Tadiq said "The central principle of that policy is the stance that Serbia does not and will never recognize Kosovo's illegal independence". Serbia sued KS for the same reason, illegal declaration of Independence, and they lost. Now they wanted to go against that with the UN resolution, but they did not. In 9/9/10 in front of the UN assembly they accepted the ICJ decision, which means the declaration of KS independence was legal, now he comes back and gives this comment. Is this some kind of metaphor for the Serbian people ? It's very simple to understand the ICJ decision and the UN resolution, I would be very surprised if the Serbian people would buy this joke from Tadiq and Jeremiq. They had guts to change the resolution, but they have no guts to explain to people of Serbia that KS is not a matter of Serbia anymore, but it is a recognized country by majority of EU states who wrote the same resolution. Now you do the math ?!
The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
What does it mean for Serbia to "get Kosovo back"? For most people it means one of two things:
1. Get the land of Kosovo back, minus the Albanians and resistive elements/occupiers.
2. Keep Kosovo as it is but have it as autonomous province under Serbia.
For Serbs option 2 is not really sustainable as further uprisings by Albanians will be more than likely and create more inter-state conflict. Therefore Serbia will only look to do option 1. But it cannot do this right now and probably not in the next few years. Serbia needs to rebuild in almost all areas (economy, military, politics) and this takes time and money.
Some Serbs believe that Serbia should only look to BRIC. I agree with this but there is not much money there now, there will be in the near future and we should keep good relations with these nations but most of the money right now is in US/EU. Tadic is biding his time and resolutions these days are not worth the paper they are written on. If Russia, US and Isreal (and many others) can trample on them, why can't anyone else? Albanians are trampling on Res 1244 and in time Serbs will trample over this new joke of a resolution.
The "diplomatic battle" is a smoke screen as option 1 is the REAL goal but the public and EU/US cannot be told of this. I think that even if radicals or SNS gets elected this type of policy will continue, the rhetoric may change but no military action will be taken. Serbia will be strong enough to set this wrong a right, it is a question of time.
The reason tha Tadic wants to resolve the situation with peaceful means is because he has no power to use the force anymore. If Kosovo became part of Serbia, then Serbia would become an Albanian country very soon. Just like Macedonia due to high natality of albanians. It is in the interest of Serbia to leave Kosovo alone.
Oh please Boris, as of Sept. 9 ,2010 you have betrayed Serbian dream, therefore you are not entitled to mention the word " Kosova/o" again. I am sure many Serb bloggers agree with me, despite our differences.

-
So you agree that he does not represent Serbian interests or it's people.
Tadiq calling Kosovo's independence is illegal is childish. Serbia sued Kosovo in the highest court in the world and the International Court of Justice answered, Kosovo independence is legal and in line with international norms aka "international law".
Not abiding by the court's ruling only shows the political immaturity by Belgrade.
Furthermore, if Serbia is "defending international law" they should concentrate all their efforts now to contribute to "international law" by resolutions that would further define the international right of secession and the right of integral affairs of all member States.
There are many Albanian politicians and analysts that dought the Serbian/EU resolution at the UN is a victory for them. We shall see what the deals were behind closed-doors that made Serbia have a change of heart.
So that is what the DS of Tadic's party stands for - Double Standards - especially given how he interprets his responsibility as Preident - the key upholder of Sovereignity yet note his thoughts on another news hinting at the pride parade;
"“Only the state has the right to use force in accordance with the law,” Tadić said. "
Double Standards indeed!!! Surely the same should be stated in protecting Serbian citizens in KiM and serbia's territorial integrity?
Tadic is, and has always been, a traitor to Serbia! That he and Jeremic are nothing but EU/NATO/US puppets has now been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. The faster these sniveling cowards leave the political scene the better. Serbia has no future in the EU!
Defending Kosovo with peaceful and diplomatic means must stem from the larger defense policy.
Using military force is a necessity when aggressors attack Serbia.
NATO criminally attacked Serbia and with the cessation of hostilities, the policy of peace and diplomacy to protect Serbia's sovereignty is the correct one.
So what are waiting for, Mike? Why you don't move you rear out of the West and fight for Kosovo in the "free" world such as Russia or Serbia? To difficult?
Yeah...peaceful means...sure that's why Tadic just built the largest Balkan military base 'Jug' an hour's tank ride to Pristina and created a professional army. Then RUS builds the S. Stream and bring their army to Serbia to protect their oil interests by 2012 - the same date KFOR will be gone and the bnkrupt temp. inst. in Pristina will have failed to get funds to finance that army they're dreaming about.

(Free Serbia!, 12 September 2010 11:12)
Like it or not, this "regime" with it's "puppets" was elected by the marjority of the Serbs, in democratic and free elections. Talking about "election fraud", I think the last time it has been happening was under Milosevic, the great Serbian leader and hero (well, for some people he obviosly still is)
...Serbia does not and will never recognize Kosovo's illegal independence...
Illegal? How come? The ICJ ruled that the declaration of independence does not violate the international law. The answer of the question you asked for. Now, Mr. Tadic?
Oh please Boris, as of Sept. 9 ,2010 you have betrayed Serbian dream, therefore you are not entitled to mention the word " Kosova/o" again. I am sure many Serb bloggers agree with me, despite our differences.
History repeats and we are going through a similar phase as that during WWII under Nedić's regime. If you read this http://tinyurl.com/33zrfqz you will see many similarities.
The sell-outs can redeem themselves only through a satisfactorily negotiated compromise, which I hope they do, otherwise the tide will eventually turn against them - as the cycle repeats.
We are only one country away from getting complete Russian support and that opportunity will present itself within the next 10 years.
I think the Hungarians are much more disillusioned with the EU than the Romanians.
As for the western powers (and most certainly to a newly awaken & stunning majority of Serbs)who installed this man to run the country after their onslaught, he is a politically dead corpse. He has fulfilled his obligations and whatever he and his regime does from now on as such would only harm their cause. So either we would have another puppet and nothing would change but in name or if that doesn´t work, Tadic continues like the dictator Saakaswahili under election fraud and police repression
Dear Mr Tadic - "peaceful and democratic means" - you could have still honoured those principles and kept the original resolution. How does changing the resolution violate "peaceful and democratic means"?
Just another attempt to sweet talk everyone into believing that you are doing the right thing.
Kosovo can't be protected by peaceful means since Serbia has been subjected to aggression from the occupiers. Our people and our churches are constantly at risk from some kosovo albanians. Serbs and their property must be protected by all means, even military. Tadic is dealing with terrorists and american imperialists. With those people there are no peaceful means.
Turkey occupied Serbia for years, and it seems that the Albanians in Kosovo still see things that way.
After hundreds of years of non-peaceful, non-democratic, forced occupation by the ottomans, it is not surprising that Serbs feel very uncomfortable with the current support that the West is giving to those who provocatively chant for the other side.
The basket ball team should have won in Turkey, but the behaviour of the Albanians in chanting against Serbia's defeat might serve to demonstrate to the west that there are two sides to what they have insisted on seeing as a one-sided issue.
The udi should not sustain - it is a wrong solution.

Because in English all I see is 100% recognition of Kosovo indpendence and that Serbia gave up on Kosovo to join the EU? What is he saying in Serbian beause in English it is like he is Albanian himself.
Tadiq said "The central principle of that policy is the stance that Serbia does not and will never recognize Kosovo's illegal independence". Serbia sued KS for the same reason, illegal declaration of Independence, and they lost. Now they wanted to go against that with the UN resolution, but they did not. In 9/9/10 in front of the UN assembly they accepted the ICJ decision, which means the declaration of KS independence was legal, now he comes back and gives this comment. Is this some kind of metaphor for the Serbian people ? It's very simple to understand the ICJ decision and the UN resolution, I would be very surprised if the Serbian people would buy this joke from Tadiq and Jeremiq. They had guts to change the resolution, but they have no guts to explain to people of Serbia that KS is not a matter of Serbia anymore, but it is a recognized country by majority of EU states who wrote the same resolution. Now you do the math ?!
"I just want to update you that Serbia has tried option 1 and option 2 meny times in the past 100 years or so. It never worked and it never will. Kosovo Albanians are very determined to stay in their homes at any cost. What you are promoting doesn't work. It is in your own interest to get proper relations with Kosovo government and exchange ambassadors so that the lives of Serbian minority will improve and the religious sites will not be hated or attacked." - Kosovoman
Option 2 was really the modus operandi for the last 100 years. The only time option 1 was really tried was in 1999 and if it wasn't for NATO it would have succeeded.
However with Tito the floodgates of Kosovo got open, Albanians came in and made up big numbers and we got an uprising.
It is a sad fate that our people are destined to fight each other forever, and this is true of virtually all conflicts in the Balkans (and beyond). There needs to be some kind of human revolution that can stop this nature of life. Unfortunately for both of our people at minimum this generation and the next will grow up only promoting this anomisity.
This is why serbia will always tend towards option 1 even if politicans are doing/saying what looks like the complete opposite or complete capitulation. I expect the same sort of mindset from Albanians towards Serbs. Nothing ever changes.
Tadic is a Montenegrin from Sarajevo (born and raised in Sarajevo).
He totally neuters, as he just recently did, anything other Serbs do to try to fight for Serbia's and Serbs' rights.
What does it mean for Serbia to "get Kosovo back"? For most people it means one of two things:
1. Get the land of Kosovo back, minus the Albanians and resistive elements/occupiers.
2. Keep Kosovo as it is but have it as autonomous province under Serbia.
For Serbs option 2 is not really sustainable as further uprisings by Albanians will be more than likely and create more inter-state conflict. Therefore Serbia will only look to do option 1. But it cannot do this right now and probably not in the next few years. Serbia needs to rebuild in almost all areas (economy, military, politics) and this takes time and money.
Some Serbs believe that Serbia should only look to BRIC. I agree with this but there is not much money there now, there will be in the near future and we should keep good relations with these nations but most of the money right now is in US/EU. Tadic is biding his time and resolutions these days are not worth the paper they are written on. If Russia, US and Isreal (and many others) can trample on them, why can't anyone else? Albanians are trampling on Res 1244 and in time Serbs will trample over this new joke of a resolution.
The "diplomatic battle" is a smoke screen as option 1 is the REAL goal but the public and EU/US cannot be told of this. I think that even if radicals or SNS gets elected this type of policy will continue, the rhetoric may change but no military action will be taken. Serbia will be strong enough to set this wrong a right, it is a question of time.
The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations.
