Do you know the borders of Serbia when it declared independence 1878 ? It was without Kosovo,Sandzak or Vojvodina. Serbia occupyed this regions later and this three regions dosent belong to Serbia. That is why serbs are minority in this regions.
(Demi, 28 April 2011 11:10)

Did you know that Serbia during the rule of Stefan Uros was know as the Serbian Empire and it encompassed Serbia, Montenegro (Serbia), Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria and ALBANIA?

How about that Albania only existed as a state after 1912?

Here we are again with arguments about what Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, and bla, bla, bla were or were not 100, 1000, 10000 or one million years ago which probably will be followed with the fairy tales about Illyrians, Slavs, Romans and bla, bla, bla which may be very fascinating to read for personal knowledge or academic purposes.

However, what matters for everybody's life is what Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and bla, bla, bla are today...

And you seem not to know that the historic region called Kosovo never included the northern part mainly inhabited by Serbs, which was only added during YU-era to keep an ethnic balance in Kosovo?

Serbia is the main factor of instability in the Balkans. If Serbia would recognize Kosovo and move forward western Balkans would be the main player in the EU today. But because of Serbias destructive behavour the Balkan countrys have stop moving forward.
(demi, 27 April 2011 16:29)

I do agree with you, and that was sonia biserko's message to the eu.

but it doesn't have to be that way. serbia could elect more progressive, more moderate leadership. with some vision other than unending nationalism. there are such people, even a few politicians inside of serbia, but unfortunately few and far between. and unable, at least for now, to gain mass support.

the intl's refuse to put any pressure on belgrade, in a constuctive way. it's as if they are so terrified about the "radicals" seizing power, they'll do anything to keep the current batch of politicos. which is really pathetic because tadic is a conservative nationalist, and jeremic is a radical in democrat's clothing.

i personally am opposed to partitioning as i have said many times here. it is a disaster for bosnia and her people, check it out in the news or on the ground. but for the elite there (espl.y demagogue do-dik and co.) things are just peachy. they've made a complete mockery of the dayton accords, which were deeply faulty to begin with. shame on them, shame on us.

as for N mitrovica -- IF it were partitioned, it couldn't be at the ibar, since the neighborhoods in the south of N mitrovica are mainly albanian and bosnian. surprise! well at least i was surprised when we were just there and given a grand tour by that nice eulex official. "see how multi-ethnic we are in the north..." and then he pointed out the albanian and bosnian neighborhoods. so IF you were to do a division by ethnic lines, it would have to go thru streets, yards etc. churches... kind of like old berlin. it wouldn't be pretty, but if it's ethnic lines you want...

then also IF there were a partition inside mitrovica, there would absolutely be a demand for full autonomy for both preseva and sandjak, serbia. there should be autonomy, but in that case it would become quite strong, strident. serbia might even start to break apart - is that what you want?

and then back to so-called republika srpska -- there are numbers of non-serbs there as well. not to mention all of the memories, the ethnic cleansing. trying to partition that could lead to ANOther war.

people need to think about consequences, not just indulge in idle, never ending nationalism.

If you ask me I would end the Prishtina-Belgrade dialoug. And then I would close the border with Serbia and I would not allow any passing of gods or people through that border. Those people who want to stay in Kosovo can stay and those who dont want to stay can move to other countrys. Its as simple as that!!

It is better for Kosovo to start an dialoug with Albania,Macedonia,Montenegro and Croatia because this countrys respect the territorial integrety of Kosovo. Why should we hold unneccary dialoug with Serbia about nothing when we can hold important economical dialoug with other countrys??

Serbia wants only territory and would be more than happy to steal N.Kosovo. Somthing that will never happend because nobody but Russia supports Serbia!!


Reamember that the Kosovo Police are in charge of N.Kosovo and not serbian MUP. Serbian MUP works underground together with the criminals there and support their criminal activity!

Serbia wouldent win anything from getting N.Kosovo. Serbia just want to make Kosovo an unsafe and unstabil country for its people. Understand that majority K.serbs live in south Kosovo.


Albanians just have to keep cool and relaxed until we form our army in the next couple of years. Then N.Kosovo would not be disscussed but taken care of. The ordinary people of northern Kosovo are not part of this so called criminal serbian parallele structures and wants to live in peace with the albanians south of the Ibar river. The ordinary serb people in N.Kosovo are afraid to speak the truth because they dont want to be pointed out as traitors from the regime in Belgrade and expect support from their goverment in Prishtina. Prishtina has to go in with the police and the legal system to save this poor people from this criminal people who run wild there and cause instability. We owe it to our minority groups to help them from threats coming from abroad, in this case Serbia.

Serbia was also impatient with Vukovar, Knin, Srebrenica and now north Kosovo too. From an Western perspective this is damaging Serbia's hopes and ambitions to get closer to the EU. Serbia must arrest war criminals, apologise to all the victims especially since it was fully active in all wars, and last but not the least offer reparations.

You're right, but as usual Serbs don't want to admit that. Now they have started to blame Tito instead of Milosevic for breaking former SFRJ.

I am against the idea of multiethnic state especially when more realistic borders can be easily established such as the exchange of the territories between Serbia and Kosova or when there is a natural border as between Albania and FYROM. All the politics needs to do is to accept the reality. The only functional multiethnic state is the UK but they are not in Balkans we simply cannot arrive to such solution.

So everyone should get what is his and Leposavić, Zubin Potok and Zvečan are not Kosovar they are part of the old Serbia – Raska while Medvegja, Bujanovc and Presheva are not Serbian they were cut from Kosova in the 60s in order to 1) decrease the number of the Albanians in Kosova and 2) secure the north-south connection for Serbia.

Serbia controls Northern Kosovo, whereas the USA controls Southern Kosova. Southern Kosova only does what the US intructs it to do; such as the claim of independence from Serbia.

The Southern part of Kosova is where the drug trafficking and organ harvesting takes place. The Southern part also has many mosques that were funded and built by the Saudis.

Anyways, Serbia needs to go into the South and clean the dust, vacuum the carpets and take out the trash, as spring time is now here.

Hello, Pristina, the Serbs in Northern Kosovo want nothing to do with you. Why is that so hard for the Albanians to understand? Just like the albanians want no association with Serbia, Serbs want no association with them. If they can have independence from Belgrade, the Serbs must be free of Pristina also. It is only fair, don't we all agree?

I am against the way Serbia wants’ to open this question as it is in her usual manner: get everything what she wants without sense for reality and compromise. That is, Serbia wants’ the north Kosova, have effective control over the enclaves in south and leave open the question of Kosova without mutual recognition.

This is not a way for compromise and peaceful solution.

But in principle I am OK for Serbia to have those back warded villages of Leposavić, Zubin Potok and Zvečan but it will have to exchange them for Medvegja, Bujanovc and Presheva and of course this dispute must be closed via the mutual recognition Serbia-Kosova-Serbia.

Sooner or later our KiM Albanian friends will have to take their head out of the sand and realise the situation has changed. They cannot extend their parallel and temporary institutions into the north. That part will remain integrated with the rest of Serbia. As I have mentioned many times, Serbian's control their areas while KiM Albanians control their own. That is the only viable reality. More than autonomy, less than independence is self-fulfilling.

If you ask me I would end the Prishtina-Belgrade dialoug. And then I would close the border with Serbia and I would not allow any passing of gods or people through that border. Those people who want to stay in Kosovo can stay and those who dont want to stay can move to other countrys. Its as simple as that!!

It is better for Kosovo to start an dialoug with Albania,Macedonia,Montenegro and Croatia because this countrys respect the territorial integrety of Kosovo. Why should we hold unneccary dialoug with Serbia about nothing when we can hold important economical dialoug with other countrys??

Serbia wants only territory and would be more than happy to steal N.Kosovo. Somthing that will never happend because nobody but Russia supports Serbia!!


Reamember that the Kosovo Police are in charge of N.Kosovo and not serbian MUP. Serbian MUP works underground together with the criminals there and support their criminal activity!

Serbia is the main factor of instability in the Balkans. If Serbia would recognize Kosovo and move forward western Balkans would be the main player in the EU today. But because of Serbias destructive behavour the Balkan countrys have stop moving forward.
(demi, 27 April 2011 16:29)

I do agree with you, and that was sonia biserko's message to the eu.

but it doesn't have to be that way. serbia could elect more progressive, more moderate leadership. with some vision other than unending nationalism. there are such people, even a few politicians inside of serbia, but unfortunately few and far between. and unable, at least for now, to gain mass support.

the intl's refuse to put any pressure on belgrade, in a constuctive way. it's as if they are so terrified about the "radicals" seizing power, they'll do anything to keep the current batch of politicos. which is really pathetic because tadic is a conservative nationalist, and jeremic is a radical in democrat's clothing.

i personally am opposed to partitioning as i have said many times here. it is a disaster for bosnia and her people, check it out in the news or on the ground. but for the elite there (espl.y demagogue do-dik and co.) things are just peachy. they've made a complete mockery of the dayton accords, which were deeply faulty to begin with. shame on them, shame on us.

as for N mitrovica -- IF it were partitioned, it couldn't be at the ibar, since the neighborhoods in the south of N mitrovica are mainly albanian and bosnian. surprise! well at least i was surprised when we were just there and given a grand tour by that nice eulex official. "see how multi-ethnic we are in the north..." and then he pointed out the albanian and bosnian neighborhoods. so IF you were to do a division by ethnic lines, it would have to go thru streets, yards etc. churches... kind of like old berlin. it wouldn't be pretty, but if it's ethnic lines you want...

then also IF there were a partition inside mitrovica, there would absolutely be a demand for full autonomy for both preseva and sandjak, serbia. there should be autonomy, but in that case it would become quite strong, strident. serbia might even start to break apart - is that what you want?

and then back to so-called republika srpska -- there are numbers of non-serbs there as well. not to mention all of the memories, the ethnic cleansing. trying to partition that could lead to ANOther war.

people need to think about consequences, not just indulge in idle, never ending nationalism.

Serbia was also impatient with Vukovar, Knin, Srebrenica and now north Kosovo too. From an Western perspective this is damaging Serbia's hopes and ambitions to get closer to the EU. Serbia must arrest war criminals, apologise to all the victims especially since it was fully active in all wars, and last but not the least offer reparations.

Even though I don't like the idea of partitioning Kosovo on ethnic grounds, if Serbia was smart enough she would recognise the independence of Kosovo South of the Ibar River, while she still can. Then negotiate some sort of autonomy/ special status for the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo.

I am against the way Serbia wants’ to open this question as it is in her usual manner: get everything what she wants without sense for reality and compromise. That is, Serbia wants’ the north Kosova, have effective control over the enclaves in south and leave open the question of Kosova without mutual recognition.

This is not a way for compromise and peaceful solution.

But in principle I am OK for Serbia to have those back warded villages of Leposavić, Zubin Potok and Zvečan but it will have to exchange them for Medvegja, Bujanovc and Presheva and of course this dispute must be closed via the mutual recognition Serbia-Kosova-Serbia.

I am against the idea of multiethnic state especially when more realistic borders can be easily established such as the exchange of the territories between Serbia and Kosova or when there is a natural border as between Albania and FYROM. All the politics needs to do is to accept the reality. The only functional multiethnic state is the UK but they are not in Balkans we simply cannot arrive to such solution.

So everyone should get what is his and Leposavić, Zubin Potok and Zvečan are not Kosovar they are part of the old Serbia – Raska while Medvegja, Bujanovc and Presheva are not Serbian they were cut from Kosova in the 60s in order to 1) decrease the number of the Albanians in Kosova and 2) secure the north-south connection for Serbia. Serbia is impatient to open this question?? So be it lets talk.

Serbia controls Northern Kosovo, whereas the USA controls Southern Kosova. Southern Kosova only does what the US intructs it to do; such as the claim of independence from Serbia.

The Southern part of Kosova is where the drug trafficking and organ harvesting takes place. The Southern part also has many mosques that were funded and built by the Saudis.

Anyways, Serbia needs to go into the South and clean the dust, vacuum the carpets and take out the trash, as spring time is now here.

Serbia wouldent win anything from getting N.Kosovo. Serbia just want to make Kosovo an unsafe and unstabil country for its people. Understand that majority K.serbs live in south Kosovo.


Albanians just have to keep cool and relaxed until we form our army in the next couple of years. Then N.Kosovo would not be disscussed but taken care of. The ordinary people of northern Kosovo are not part of this so called criminal serbian parallele structures and wants to live in peace with the albanians south of the Ibar river. The ordinary serb people in N.Kosovo are afraid to speak the truth because they dont want to be pointed out as traitors from the regime in Belgrade and expect support from their goverment in Prishtina. Prishtina has to go in with the police and the legal system to save this poor people from this criminal people who run wild there and cause instability. We owe it to our minority groups to help them from threats coming from abroad, in this case Serbia.


Serbia is the main factor of instability in the Balkans. If Serbia would recognize Kosovo and move forward western Balkans would be the main player in the EU today. But because of Serbias destructive behavour the Balkan countrys have stop moving forward.

Sooner or later our KiM Albanian friends will have to take their head out of the sand and realise the situation has changed. They cannot extend their parallel and temporary institutions into the north. That part will remain integrated with the rest of Serbia. As I have mentioned many times, Serbian's control their areas while KiM Albanians control their own. That is the only viable reality. More than autonomy, less than independence is self-fulfilling.

Hello, Pristina, the Serbs in Northern Kosovo want nothing to do with you. Why is that so hard for the Albanians to understand? Just like the albanians want no association with Serbia, Serbs want no association with them. If they can have independence from Belgrade, the Serbs must be free of Pristina also. It is only fair, don't we all agree?
