Officials express gratitude to Uruguay

The best way to express the gratitude is to abolish the visa regime. Already done with Brazil and Argentina. What does Serbia and Uruguay waiting for? Do it, please.

Cvetković thanked Almagro for Uruguay's principled stand on the protection of principles of the international law

ICJ rendered its opinion and was very clear that Kosova did not violate international law. So, what is Cvetkovic talking about???

Mr Kosova-USA
if you're soo much for pro kosovo why are you currently living in USA? why dont you go to kosovo?
and just tought id remind you...its not "kosova" but "KOSOVO"-a SERBIAN name for "THE FIELD OF THE BLACKBIRDS"

PS: my moniker is "KOSO" which is short for Kosova. Just an fyi.
(KOSO, 8 December 2010 17:31)

No problem at all with that part. It's much better a moniker because of Kosovo than Kosovo because of Monica.

Velibor,

your forgetting that 99.99999% of the world don't speak Serbian --- don't try to tell others how to pronounce things.

Shqip: Kosova | Kosove
English: Kosovo

99% might not speak Serbian, but they all understand it. Hence the saying: Speak Serbian so the whole world can understand you. Razumesh?

OK, but for some reason the traditional name of Kosovo in German is "Amselfeld", in Hungarian "Rigómezö", these are direct mirror translations of "Kosovo Polje". The word "Kos" does not mean much in northern (St. Petersburg, Moscow) dialects - but in southern Russian dialects closer to Caspian or Caucasus that word means precisely this bird:

The same bird is called "drozd" in the north, by the way. In other word Bulgarians, Serbs, Macedonians, Croats, Russians in southern Volga say "kos", the Poles, Russians in the north, Slovaks say "drozd", but we understand "kos" tough. And "polje" means "field" everywhere in places I mentioned.

Nice that you did chose a Southern Russian nick - but what does it mean in Albanian language? Nothing? I feel odd that if Albanians lived last 5000 years in the area they do not even have the word for it in their language. And that Hungarians and Germans call it "Serbian" way. That tells a lot.

"principled stand on the protection of principles of the international law "


lol


According to international law, kosovo's independence was legal. end of story.

Serbia refused further challenge.

empty diplomatic posturing that will change nothing.

enjoy.

Unfortunately my comment was butchered in half.
There is a fourth choice: Albanians decided to call it Kosova in the sign of respect for their Serb minority :)

Darn, how could I forget it? LOL.

Regarding Johann Georg von Hahn - I did read few things. He clearly belongs to minority. There are other notable speculations which are of the same quality (or even better). None of them is regarded as serious.

Here is the list.

#1. Russians / Poles are Hittites.
#2. Hungarians are Sumerians, later settled in Subartu
#3. Serbs are from Subartu as well.

The first two even have very intersting linguistic base... but widely (at least the Sumerian part) regarded as not proven strong enough. Regardless of the hundreds of similar words, beginning with swearing and ending with religion.

Compared with these ideas the "Dardanian" theory is barely worth to mention and has even lesser support. Unfortunately the Dardanian theory did "made" into Albanian schoolbooks, regardless of the scientific value.

BTW - feel free to google on Hittites and who and why deciphered their language. Now should we go ahead and occupy Anatolia?

It is called Dardania. Look up the etimology of the word for more info and how it relates to Albanian language.
Going someplace and giving it a name does not make it yours. Serbs came here, saw a bird in the sky and decided to call the land the "field of that bird".

Not in a single language is the region called "pear three valley".
Not even Albanians call it that way.

The reasons could be:

1) Collective amnesia
2) Dardanians aren't immediate ancestors of modern-day Albanians.
3) Albanians decided to use Slavic word to tease their Dardanian ancestors

My choice is 2).

My choice is 2).

Otherwise see below:
Beginning with Johann Georg von Hahn in 1854, 19th century historical linguistics concluded that Dardanoi and Dardania may be related to a proto-Albanian word meaning pear tree (dardha in modern Albanian the definite form, dardhë indefinite form).

Try google translating "pear" into Albanian. And I'm not making any extraordinary claims (since i don't have extraordinary proof), however it could, or could NOT be a coincidence.

"Not even Albanians call it that way."

As for how they call it , or how they called themselves for that matter can be attributed to evolution of language
and power shifts.

As an Albanian i find it quite hard to understand medieval Albanian text, and you're talking about 2000+ years?

"Dardanians aren't immediate ancestors of modern-day Albanians."

That Albanian culture is continuation of ancient ballkan cultures there's plenty of evidence, all you need is sheer common sense. And i'm saying culture because i don't see ethnicity as genetic unions, but as cultural unions. Kosovo (like many other places) has seen a lot of melting pot, migration, ect. but the flavor of pear has remained.
