Kosovo partition only solution, ex-Yugoslav president says

I never thought this figure of serb nationalism would speak up again.

Your partition proposal is just another lie in your long history of lies and deception.
There will never be a partition, only exchange.

Salut to Cosic. The key word is SWAP.

He said that he believed that Serbian state policy toward Kosovo had been wrong from Nikola Pašić to Boris Tadić and that Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) and patriotic elites had been participating in it.

I am glad somebody has the guts to tell the truth, but as I recall about your partition in 1981, Kosova was left with Gjakova and its surroundings, and the rest as far as your thinking was Serbian. Now you are talking about 1/3 of Kosova for Serbia. Well, you will get zilch, unless we swap with presheva for part of northern Mitro.

Whoever starts that war will loose.

I agree that serbs and albanians cannot live together. Albanians are special. They don't get along with anyone, not even their own.
(Hank the Tank, 29 May 2011 15:25)

If you start the war over northern mitro, you will loose big time, since this time around the war will be on Serbian land and not Kosova land.We can ignite Presheva in no time and they will conduct the war in your own turf, which is Belgrade pashalluk.

Exhange YES, partition NO chance.

for forty years? and just now you come with a proposition? How strange!why did you refuse to put in acts bujan decisions?
And by the way remenber that the Lausanne traty asked byou to reinstall all the albanians that you expelled from nish toplice and co ,in their homes!

and you want again a part of kosovo?
Well ,you will have to give parts of serbia again in a few years

haha in the preshovo valley your only majority in 1 town in 2011 and that's the preshovo city that's it and your dying out there too and in kosovo you thought you had 5 million albanians lol but in the end only 1 million and only 200,000 in pristina from the 500,000 you said you had your numbers in reality are nothing and if you want to talk about exchange albania has a 35% none albanian populace and south Albania back to Greece and north to serbia because majority in the north are serbs and you want part of that slavic macedonia ok exchange with them because they have 300,000 in albania so lets make a deal tirana will be albania and kosovo 50%+ to serbia because all the sebs have to move back to their homes in kosovo and thats it.

(Peggy, 29 May 2011 14:57) Peggy well spoken of your Serbs and Serbia in the country of Bosnia.

--This is the only way to overcome centuries-long antagonism between Albanians and Serbs,” Ćosić explained.

According to him, the partition would “stop the great Albanian expansion and create conditions for normal life of both peoples”. --

I think that this tired ole proponent of Greater Serbia should finally retire!

there may indeed be ancient animosities, but people like cosic keep pushing the envelope, ad nauseum. he should be so pleased to know that thanks to his "contribution," they are discussing the location of the next balkan war on b-92 comments section...

I did want to thank b-92 (yes, it really is me) for not censoring my post yesterday, especially the link to "Burning Secrets from the Balkans."

here is the link in case you missed it:

http://www.bosniaks.net/prilog.php?pid=41966

I really do believe that the truth, not hoary old cliches about ancient animosities, shall set us free.

as far as i know, much of this material has previously appeared on b-92, but not recently.

also, just in case this is a repeat, I'm having some computer issues.

“First I told him about the U.S. proposal on partition of Kosovo according to which Serbia would get one third of Kosovo and Metohija but Milošević did not give up on Serbian delusions until the Kumanovo capitulation in small world war against Serbia,” Ćosić said.

A small world war against Serbia? That made me laugh. The usual Serbian hubris and overestimation of their importance. A "world war" where not even 10,000 persons have been killed? Serbs must live in a very small world.

Apart of that, I agree: Kosovo partition is the only viable solution. Interesting to read that the US even proposed it, and the Serbian hero Milosevic didn't agree, and now it's likely that whole Kosovo is lost for Serbia.

The International Community now wants Kosovo to have a Degree of Autonomy, and be Fully Reintegrated with Serbia, because America, the European Union, and even many Kosovo Albanians now want this.

It looks like the Negotiations could take a different Course, now that the Albanian Representatives are willing to discuss Partition.

I think that the longer Belgrade and Pristina can Negotiate Partition, the more Concessions they can extract from the European Union, even if the Negotiations are a Good Fake by both sides, and especially if they are long Fake Negotiations.

If the Albanians make trouble, or if there is a Partition of Kosovo, then everyone, including the Intelligent will Believe that Different Races cannot live together in the same Country, because Seeing is Believing.

This is why America and the Leading European Union Countries are supporting Kosovo’s Independence as the Solution, and why Partition is unacceptable to them.

Albanians need to understand that England, America, and France may have long decided that Albanians are not part of their Plans for Kosovo, and they need themselves if they could withstand NATO bombing the Kosovo Albanians back to the Stone Age, with the approval of the Current or Future Kosovo Albanian Leaders who are TOTAL PUPPETS of America, and who will always only care about themselves.

The Albanians need to know that the Saddam Hussein was the good guy, until America decided it wanted to steal Iraq’s Oil, and for this reason, the Kosovo Albanians should accept Autonomy and Reintegration with Serbia until the Americans have left the Balkans.

These Concessions will be in the form of the European Union making a Virtue not because they are Virtuous, but because of Desperate Necessity, and because the American Led NATO, and the Leading European Union Countries are not approved for any type of Humanitarianism.

This is because they want People in the European Union to Foolishly think that Different Races Can Live together in the same Country.

The European Union may even Revoke their Support for Kosovo Albanian Unilateral Declaration of Independence, but United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 say that there is no time limit for the Negotiated Settlement.

We have seen how there are discussions between Belgrade and Pristina on how the People of Serbia’s Southern Province will improve their lives and circumstances.

If we remember, this was Unanimously Agreed to by All Nations in the United Nations General Assembly Vote.

Serbia could go back to the United Nations General Assembly and ask them to Vote on FULLY ACCEPTING that Different Races CAN and SHOULD live together in the Same Country.

There have been discussions of Passports and of Car Number Plates, and the Serbian Citizens of Albanian Ethnicity should know that European People will shun those who do not clearly identify themselves as Serbian Citizens, with the use of Serbian Government Approved Passports and Car Number Plates.

The Serbian Citizens of Albanian Ethnicity should understand that the European Union Politicians will not be the ones employing Serbia’s Albanians if they find themselves in a European Union Country.

Any employment of Serbia’s Albanians by European Union Employers will only be for Law Abiding Albanians as Criminals will be shunned, even if it is done too Politely to be Obviously Recognized.

This will be true of Kosovo Albanian Passports, and Kosovo Albanian Car Number Plates that do not Clearly Identify that Kosovo is a Serbian Province.

This does not mean that there cannot be two different Passports and Car Number Plates, or any other relevant items, but that all Residents of the Serbian Province of Kosovo Fully Accept and Publicly Acknowledge that they are Serbian Citizens.

The SPS has been offering Partition of Kosovo, but the Kosovo Albanian Representatives have just said that Pristina may discuss partition of Kosovo.

Regardless of the Views of the Serbian Voters, there are at least 6 % of the Voters of Serbia who would be in favour of Partition, and therefore this Policy of the SPS would ensure that the SPS stays in Parliament after the next Election.

The percentage of the Vote that the SPS receives would depend on the quality and quantity of the Partition they are referring to, especially if 65 Billion Euros was paid for the selling of 67% of Kosovo as a Homeland for all Albanians in Serbia and Kosovo.

The Partition deal would require Total Racial Segregation, of Albanians and Non-Albanians in what is now Serbia and Kosovo.

There are many Serbians who think that it is oppurtunistic of the SPS to have a Policy that guarantees them at least 6% of the Vote, and that will certainly give them Parliamentary Seats, and possibly a Junior Partnership in a Government Coalition, but that Politics.

The SPS would attract Additional Votes if they said that Camp Bondsteel would be in Serbia even if it joined to North Kosovo by a not too think land corridor, as part of the Partition Package.

The need for this is obvious because America will want to leave Camp Bondsteel to the locals as they will be leaving Serbia and Kosovo soon, and the facility can be viewed as partial Compensation to Serbia.

The International Community now wants Kosovo to have a degree of Autonomy, and be Fully Reintegrated with Serbia, because America, the European Union, and even many Kosovo Albanians want this.

In the meantime, America should pay Billions of Euros each year as rent for having Camp Bondsteel on Serbian Soil.

As we know that America cannot keep any agreements they make, and therefore America should deposit 130 Billion Euros into Russia’s Bank Account, and America will receive 65 Billion Euros back after Camp Bondsteel is Securely in Serbia’s Control.

Camp Bondsteel will be use an Accommodation for Tourism, and this will enable Serbia to offer cheap Holidays to Europeans and others, because the facility will not need much renovations to turn it into a Luxury Tourist Motel.

After America has left Serbia and Kosovo Completely and Permanently, then the Serbs and the Albanians can come to their own Mutual Agreements.

The Polish Summit was a Good Opportunity for the Kosovo Albanian Representatives to announce their Plans for Autonomous Full Reintegration with Serbia, because they Fully Understand that they are Serbian Citizens, and that Different Races should live together in the Same Country.

There will many Good Opportunities for the Kosovo Albanian Representatives to announce their Plans for Autonomous Full Reintegration with Serbia, because they FULLY UNDERSTAND that they are Serbian Citizens, and that Albanians FULLY ACCEPT that Different Races CAN and SHOULD live together in the Same Country.

There is the Option that America and the European Union pay Serbia 65 Billion Euros for the Sale of 67% of Kosovo, and this Must be accompanied by Total Racial Segregation of Albanians and Non-Albanians in all of Serbia.

The Partition Deal would involve given the Kosovo Albanians 15 Billion Euros, after the Deal and Camp Bondsteel are Securely Serbia’s, and only after they Elect Honest Leaders, because everyone wants Honest Neighbours.

Salut to Cosic. The key word is SWAP.

If things reamain the way they are today serbs have pretty much reached their goal. If albanains want land in Serbia proper (Presevo) there will be another war. Whoever starts that war will loose.

I agree that serbs and albanians cannot live together. Albanians are special. They don't get along with anyone, not even their own.

I find it interesting how all of a sudden Mladic is captured and there's talk about partition.
I wonder if the Serb administration is readying the Serbian people for something.

Is this guy talking from the jail or is him free?

Mister Cosic,Kosova is partition alredy,from Serbia,if you did not know.
Serbia has created very dangerous precedent.Minorities in today world are treated as bridges to connect involved countries,but Serbia treat them as bridge for expansion,and putting there nose in internal problems of these countries.Slovakia and Romania are examples of this.Before they had no problem from there minorities,now they are in panic from this Serb created precedent.Only 10 years ago ,Serbia was so stuborn regarding anything to Kosova,today they are bagging only to get some part of it.
no partition,but Kosova in its original historic borders ,from Nis ,and south.

I agree that serbs and albanians cannot live together. Albanians are special. They don't get along with anyone, not even their own.
(Hank the Tank, 29 May 2011 15:25)


I don't agree with you Hank the Tank. Albanians in Greece,Macedonia and Montenegro get along very well with the other etnicitys. I don't see serbs getting along with bosniaks in Bosnia or Serbia. or with croats in Croatia. And in Kosovo it is the serbs who provoke albanians and sayes they don't want to live with albanians in an independent country. But if Kosovo were serbian they would live with albanians they say ??

The problem of not only Balkan but whole of Europe is serbs as serbs want to create ''Greater Serbia'' with albanian,bosnian,croatian and hungarian land.





As for the partition idea, serbs want anything we albanians give them now since they seem to understand that they are not in power to get anything by them self. You can get Zveqan and leposavic for presheva medvedgja and bujanovc. Nothing less and nothing more. North mitrovica is out of the question since Mitrovica is an city located in Kosovo.


Peace to all who want peace!

Dobrica Cosic was one of the men behind the SANU Memorandum (itself a rewritting of Draza Mihalovic genocidal “Seven Instructions”) which served as the ideological base for the dictatorship and atrocities of the Milosevic era.

He talks about partition of Kosovo… but would Serbia cede the areas in and around Albanian-populated Presevo Valley in exchange? Obviously no…

No, the key word is sacrifice. We obviously need to sacrifice a part of a holy land in order to get you bandits off our back.
Just remember, nothing good comes from stolen stuff.

______________________________________________________________

Stolen? When serbia gets territorial expansion at the expense of their neighbours then its ok (not stolen), when Albanians get territorial justice then its stolen.

Remeber might makes right, if there is a territorial theif in the Ballkans then by your logic peggy its not the Albanians.

There is no legitimacy for serbia to expand in the ballkans, what it has right now is more than it should according the the "legitimacy" way of seeing it."legitimacy" its proposterous to think serbia has any in the Ballkans in terms of territory especially before Albanian claims.
Which is why Serbia should stick to the (might makes right) becuase there is a flaw in serbian legitimacy.
Serbia extended its borders all over Westen Ballkans in 10-11th centry. Serbia build many churches in what it calls Kosovo on land populated by people who spoke Albanian. I don't remeber exactly which Serb conqueror said this in 10 centry : "I heard an Albanian cry from the mountains"


This is an example of might makes right.


Now fast foreward to 1999 a war over land is fought and Serbia looses,
its only natural to play the victim and try to claim some legitimacy:
(I got churches here Albanians have no physical history)
since the might makes right path is closed.
If you talk about legitimacy its the Illyrian descendants who logically hold legitimacy over Dardania. Its is ture the Illyrians were semi-civilized they didn't leave much pysical history behind no writings no buildings. Miraculously all that survives is the Albanians who didn't even have an alphabet until the 18th century. Nonetheless am still damn proud to be Albanian, against the odds we survived poised to make a comeback.

If you start the war over northern mitro, you will loose big time, since this time around the war will be on Serbian land and not Kosova land.We can ignite Presheva in no time and they will conduct the war in your own turf, which is Belgrade pashalluk.
(Agim Kelmendi, 29 May 2011 16:10)

lool you must be joking you got such a beating in 99 by the serbs that you ran in the mountains and cried to the world for help and Serbs only fought with 10,000 against 100,000 albanians and yet you had Islamic jihadists and you all ran and in preshovo the serb police of 500 guys beat your 2 thousand in 2 weeks what are you taslking about ,your dreaming and in preshovo the albanians are majority in the preshovo city thats it and declining and the rest of the area are Serb majority this is 2011 and not 1999 lol so wake up but if you want start the war in preshovo and in kosovo please but no crying to the world just fight and see.lol

(Peggy, 29 May 2011 14:57)

Is that the reason why you Serbs left (running) so-called 'republika krajina'? In the end you found out that stolen 'stuff' ain't good for you.

He proposed this back when he was president in the 90s. Just remember that when we talk of partition it isn't just Mitrovica & enclaves, it's over half the province And it aint gonna happen with all the credibility Mladic's betrayal got us with the EU

According to him, the partition would “stop the great Albanian expansion and create conditions for normal life of both peoples”.

So according to the logic of this genius it was "the great Albanian Expansion" that also caused the wars in Slovenia,Croatia,Bosnia.And when the serbs try to attach all the serbian populated areas to Serbia it is not " a great Serbian expansion".

Njeri

Say what? There are more muslims and croats in Republika Srpska then there are serbs in the croat muslim federation. Albanians getting along with macedonians??? Are you kidding? Didn't they fight a war? Perhaps you didn't watch the news lately but serbs and croats get along fine. Serbian churches are being rebuilt in Croatia and serbs are going back. Albanians are dissliked everywhere, especially in Greece.

"no partition,but Kosova in its original historic borders ,from Nis ,and south."
(delon, 29 May 2011 16:24)

Funny! Since Kosovo has no history, what should these 'historical borders' be like? And please, save the readers here from the story about the ancient Illyrians who lived there since 100,000 years (and who have been the ancestors of the Albanians, of course). Thanks :-)

Is that the reason why you Serbs left (running) so-called 'republika krajina'? In the end you found out that stolen 'stuff' ain't good for you.
(ivan, 30 May 2011 01:08) serbs never ran anywhere, they left because of world pressure not operation nothing lol and yet it was over 250,000 croats and american air support against 55,000 Serbs lol how funny is that, and you ran and cried for 5 years all your operation did was kill old people and weak and woman and kids after the serb fighters had to leave their lands, yea so tough but ran when the fight is on and if you dont know krajina is ancient serbian lands not croatian lands at all just like istra is not croatian lands and the coast that was Italian lands and they want it back sooner than later because that land was given to Yugoslavia after world war two and there is no yugoslavia so they could claim it back right away. croatia was only zagreb in history that's it in krajina while the Serbs were fighting the turks you croats ran in fear to austria lol that's funny and krajina is back in talks about all Serbs to return and all homes rebuilt which that has started already and then full autonomy. so you will see the return of krajina in full force sooner than you think just like the coast back to the Italians and it was majority Serbs and Italians in those areas anyway and is pretty much now and now allot of Germans and others and the croat majority today is in zagreb and surroundings that's it because companies and hotels are German and Italians and a few serbian and from i read and i am sure you know Serbs are buying lands on the coast form serbia by the acres and islands more and more.

"haha in the preshovo valley your only majority in 1 town in 2011 and that's the preshovo city that's it and your dying out there too and in kosovo you thought you had 5 million albanians lol but in the end only 1 million and only 200,000 in pristina from the 500,000 you said you had your numbers in reality are nothing and if you want to talk about exchange albania has a 35% none albanian populace and south Albania back to Greece and north to serbia because majority in the north are serbs and you want part of that slavic macedonia ok exchange with them because they have 300,000 in albania so lets make a deal tirana will be albania and kosovo 50%+ to serbia because all the sebs have to move back to their homes in kosovo and thats it."

Usually, he's rapping about "300,000 serbs in montenegro who will leave" and "and lets take back krajina because that is serbian land" but today he's busting some new rhymes and of course, leaving out the punctuation.

(Lenard, 29 May 2011 17:22)
=================================

Do you get a kick out of putting words in my mouth or are you just that stupid?

the funniest comments were those of agim kelmondi and lili.

agim seems to be some fifteen-years old boy, dreaming of albanian supremacy, as boys of that age usually do. lili, ...well, a lost case, I´d say. in a few years the K-albanian will slowly come to reason and see that they are nothing, I will repeat it, NOTHING without US-support. and the US won´t support them forever. ...and by the way, lili must be very young too, otherwise she/he would remember how this army of chickenthieves was running away when the serbian military approached the scene.

no, our dear k-albanian friends still haven´t got the irony in the fact that they are coming to a serbian news-site, to entertain us with their greater-albanian phantasies... I am amused, really.


as for the article:

Mr.Cosis is an tired,old man. the next generation looks quite differently on things, and a strong serbian state will stop the greater-albanian fascism. and if they K-albanian do not take care, they could even lose more than they had before they thievishly grabbed for serbian territory.

let´s just see what future brings. I am quite confident. =)

I love when you guys start talking about 10 centuries ago, it reminds me of X-men , there is always another story, and the story is mostly about mutants.

International history starts in 1878 and all facts before that are irrelevant (especially when you make them up). In the last card dealing Albania was a bit cutoff but mostly because the collaborated first with Nazi Germans and then with Stalin. I see this problem in the balance of human and civic rights and obligations.

Albanians have the right to live as they wish, they have the right to organize their own society as best as they can but also have the obligation to respect other cultures that live with them. As for a demand for a national state it is without grounds as Albanians already have a national state, but as an autonomous region which's autonomy is guaranteed by Albania itself which would have strong economic and cultural ties with the region of Kosovo (similar as with Republika Srpska and Serbia but pre-organized).

Serbians have the right to move freely over the region where they and their countrymen live. As Albanians, they also have the right to organize their lives as they wish. They have the right to claim their cultural heritage as their own and not "regional" and that their representatives have a say in the organisation. They also have the obligation to respect other cultures who live by them without prejudice and discrimination.

This would be solved if Serbia was like a 174-3-1 Parliamentary state where the representatives of all regions would work for joint effort, but that would be some hard work.

Salut to Cosic. The key word is SWAP.
(ben, 29 May 2011 14:18)

Salute to Ben. The Serbs will SWAP Kosovo for albania :)

Yes, both sides are not really interested in finding a viable solution and prefer to insist on their positions and 'enjoy' the status quo. So it can only be the EU and other donor countries to put pressure on them to find a compromise.
(Top, 30 May 2011 12:19)
Actually 1244 leaves that option open for a final decision to be made by a third party.
It states the role of the international civilian presence is
"Facilitating a political process designed to determine Kosovo's future status, taking into account the Rambouillet accords (S/1999/648);"
The Rambouillet accords state;
" Mechanism for final settlement. An international meeting will be convened after 3 years to determine a mechanism for a final settlement for Kosovo. The will of the people will be an important factor at the international meeting."

Although a settlement supported by both sides is optimal, it does not specify that it has to be agreed upon by either party.

Apart of that, I agree: Kosovo partition is the only viable solution. Interesting to read that the US even proposed it, and the Serbian hero Milosevic didn't agree, and now it's likely that whole Kosovo is lost for Serbia.
(Top, 29 May 2011 18:27)
True partition is the simplest, quickest and in most probability the most viable option for all parties. Then it would have been a very good solution would Milosevic have agreed, Serbia could actually be a key player not only in Europe but possibly the world scene by now.
However, the problem now is it is actually to Serbia's benefit more than anyone elses to put this behind them. I know many on here say that Serbia has all the time in the world and it is critical for Kosovo to cave. But actually Serbia has a lot of doors opening right now but they may not be open long. Serbia needs to have a definite course to follow.
Kosovo on the other hand has a lot of growing to do. Would UN membership at this point help Kosovo in any way other than pride-No. Would the ability to participate in international sport leagues be an asset yet, not really, they still need to develop themselves. It would be more useful for them to put together teams and participate in non league competitions for a few years. Are they ready for EU membership, not even close.
I know this may sound crazy coming from me because I am a 100% proponent for Kosovo independence. But the reality is it is not a fully developed state at this point, it needs time. As far as functionality with the 75 recognitions Kosovo really needs no new ones other than to accomplish the goals I mentioned.
Those are the areas that Serbia can block, it is not even a question of whether Kosovo can be free of Serbia 1244 guarantees that as long as it is in force, Serbia cannot exert any economical, political, or military control over Kosovo.
So at this point would Kosovo be willing to agree to a partition, it is highly unlikely unless there is a lot placed on the table, probably more than Serbia is ready to offer.
Remember the big problem here is Serbia does not look at it for what is best for Serbia, nor does Kosovo look at what is best for Kosovo. It is more what is worse for the other side.

"Remember the big problem here is Serbia does not look at it for what is best for Serbia, nor does Kosovo look at what is best for Kosovo. It is more what is worse for the other side."

Yes, both sides are not really interested in finding a viable solution and prefer to insist on their positions and 'enjoy' the status quo. So it can only be the EU and other donor countries to put pressure on them to find a compromise.

"Kosovo could only be solved with permanent partition"
There is some knowledgeable people advocating and others entertaining
idea of Kosovo partition.Before we rush in any such official proposal
to Kosovo Albanians, EU and UN we should carefully examine consequences.
To officially come up with such a proposal,first causality would be Versailles treaty and UN resolution 1244 we would place ourselves at
mercy of International community to re-draw the borders of Serbia according to their wishes with little or no input from Government of
Serbia.Acknowledgment of our failure to resolve the ethnic tension equitably and peacefully with out partition would place permanent stain on Serbian Nation character and that's not acceptable.There is quite few ethnic tension in other European States,no one is rushing with partition
and opening fragile Versailles treaty to resolve the ethnic issues.As it's
stand to day, there is only two valid documents which guarantee Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and that is:Versailles treaty and UN resolution 1244.That is the good starting point to negotiate plenty important issues with Kosovo Albanians, primarily co-existence issues:
Law and order,free trade and movements,protection of Serbian Orthodox Churches and Monasteries (without barb wire)land ownership,roads, transportation and utilities.With out endlessly discussing the issue of
Independence they should be told that we are not their colonizer therefore we can not grant them full independence.However,we should be willing to assist them in every way possible to develop their society.

This will be true of Kosovo Albanian Passports, and Kosovo Albanian Car Number Plates that do not Clearly Identify that Kosovo is a Serbian Province.

This does not mean that there cannot be two different Passports and Car Number Plates, or any other relevant items, but that all Residents of the Serbian Province of Kosovo Fully Accept and Publicly Acknowledge that they are Serbian Citizens.

The SPS has been offering Partition of Kosovo, but the Kosovo Albanian Representatives have just said that Pristina may discuss partition of Kosovo.

Regardless of the Views of the Serbian Voters, there are at least 6 % of the Voters of Serbia who would be in favour of Partition, and therefore this Policy of the SPS would ensure that the SPS stays in Parliament after the next Election.

The percentage of the Vote that the SPS receives would depend on the quality and quantity of the Partition they are referring to, especially if 65 Billion Euros was paid for the selling of 67% of Kosovo as a Homeland for all Albanians in Serbia and Kosovo.

The Partition deal would require Total Racial Segregation, of Albanians and Non-Albanians in what is now Serbia and Kosovo.

There are many Serbians who think that it is oppurtunistic of the SPS to have a Policy that guarantees them at least 6% of the Vote, and that will certainly give them Parliamentary Seats, and possibly a Junior Partnership in a Government Coalition, but that Politics.

The SPS would attract Additional Votes if they said that Camp Bondsteel would be in Serbia even if it joined to North Kosovo by a not too think land corridor, as part of the Partition Package.

The need for this is obvious because America will want to leave Camp Bondsteel to the locals as they will be leaving Serbia and Kosovo soon, and the facility can be viewed as partial Compensation to Serbia.

The International Community now wants Kosovo to have a degree of Autonomy, and be Fully Reintegrated with Serbia, because America, the European Union, and even many Kosovo Albanians want this.

In the meantime, America should pay Billions of Euros each year as rent for having Camp Bondsteel on Serbian Soil.

As we know that America cannot keep any agreements they make, and therefore America should deposit 130 Billion Euros into Russia’s Bank Account, and America will receive 65 Billion Euros back after Camp Bondsteel is Securely in Serbia’s Control.

Camp Bondsteel will be use an Accommodation for Tourism, and this will enable Serbia to offer cheap Holidays to Europeans and others, because the facility will not need much renovations to turn it into a Luxury Tourist Motel.

After America has left Serbia and Kosovo Completely and Permanently, then the Serbs and the Albanians can come to their own Mutual Agreements.

The Polish Summit was a Good Opportunity for the Kosovo Albanian Representatives to announce their Plans for Autonomous Full Reintegration with Serbia, because they Fully Understand that they are Serbian Citizens, and that Different Races should live together in the Same Country.

There will many Good Opportunities for the Kosovo Albanian Representatives to announce their Plans for Autonomous Full Reintegration with Serbia, because they FULLY UNDERSTAND that they are Serbian Citizens, and that Albanians FULLY ACCEPT that Different Races CAN and SHOULD live together in the Same Country.

There is the Option that America and the European Union pay Serbia 65 Billion Euros for the Sale of 67% of Kosovo, and this Must be accompanied by Total Racial Segregation of Albanians and Non-Albanians in all of Serbia.

The Partition Deal would involve given the Kosovo Albanians 15 Billion Euros, after the Deal and Camp Bondsteel are Securely Serbia’s, and only after they Elect Honest Leaders, because everyone wants Honest Neighbours.

If things reamain the way they are today serbs have pretty much reached their goal. If albanains want land in Serbia proper (Presevo) there will be another war. Whoever starts that war will loose.

I agree that serbs and albanians cannot live together. Albanians are special. They don't get along with anyone, not even their own.

I never thought this figure of serb nationalism would speak up again.

Your partition proposal is just another lie in your long history of lies and deception.
There will never be a partition, only exchange.

He said that he believed that Serbian state policy toward Kosovo had been wrong from Nikola Pašić to Boris Tadić and that Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) and patriotic elites had been participating in it.

I am glad somebody has the guts to tell the truth, but as I recall about your partition in 1981, Kosova was left with Gjakova and its surroundings, and the rest as far as your thinking was Serbian. Now you are talking about 1/3 of Kosova for Serbia. Well, you will get zilch, unless we swap with presheva for part of northern Mitro.
(Agim Kelmendi, 29 May 2011 15:15)



haha in the preshovo valley your only majority in 1 town in 2011 and that's the preshovo city that's it and your dying out there too and in kosovo you thought you had 5 million albanians lol but in the end only 1 million and only 200,000 in pristina from the 500,000 you said you had your numbers in reality are nothing and if you want to talk about exchange albania has a 35% none albanian populace and south Albania back to Greece and north to serbia because majority in the north are serbs and you want part of that slavic macedonia ok exchange with them because they have 300,000 in albania so lets make a deal tirana will be albania and kosovo 50%+ to serbia because all the sebs have to move back to their homes in kosovo and thats it.

Salut to Cosic. The key word is SWAP.

Exhange YES, partition NO chance.

--This is the only way to overcome centuries-long antagonism between Albanians and Serbs,” Ćosić explained.

According to him, the partition would “stop the great Albanian expansion and create conditions for normal life of both peoples”. --

I think that this tired ole proponent of Greater Serbia should finally retire!

there may indeed be ancient animosities, but people like cosic keep pushing the envelope, ad nauseum. he should be so pleased to know that thanks to his "contribution," they are discussing the location of the next balkan war on b-92 comments section...

I did want to thank b-92 (yes, it really is me) for not censoring my post yesterday, especially the link to "Burning Secrets from the Balkans."

here is the link in case you missed it:

http://www.bosniaks.net/prilog.php?pid=41966

I really do believe that the truth, not hoary old cliches about ancient animosities, shall set us free.

as far as i know, much of this material has previously appeared on b-92, but not recently.

also, just in case this is a repeat, I'm having some computer issues.

Say what? There are more muslims and croats in Republika Srpska then there are serbs in the croat muslim federation. Albanians getting along with macedonians??? Are you kidding? Didn't they fight a war? Perhaps you didn't watch the news lately but serbs and croats get along fine. Serbian churches are being rebuilt in Croatia and serbs are going back. Albanians are dissliked everywhere, especially in Greece.

(Peggy, 29 May 2011 14:57) Peggy well spoken of your Serbs and Serbia in the country of Bosnia.

“First I told him about the U.S. proposal on partition of Kosovo according to which Serbia would get one third of Kosovo and Metohija but Milošević did not give up on Serbian delusions until the Kumanovo capitulation in small world war against Serbia,” Ćosić said.

A small world war against Serbia? That made me laugh. The usual Serbian hubris and overestimation of their importance. A "world war" where not even 10,000 persons have been killed? Serbs must live in a very small world.

Apart of that, I agree: Kosovo partition is the only viable solution. Interesting to read that the US even proposed it, and the Serbian hero Milosevic didn't agree, and now it's likely that whole Kosovo is lost for Serbia.

for forty years? and just now you come with a proposition? How strange!why did you refuse to put in acts bujan decisions?
And by the way remenber that the Lausanne traty asked byou to reinstall all the albanians that you expelled from nish toplice and co ,in their homes!

and you want again a part of kosovo?
Well ,you will have to give parts of serbia again in a few years

He proposed this back when he was president in the 90s. Just remember that when we talk of partition it isn't just Mitrovica & enclaves, it's over half the province And it aint gonna happen with all the credibility Mladic's betrayal got us with the EU

I agree that serbs and albanians cannot live together. Albanians are special. They don't get along with anyone, not even their own.
(Hank the Tank, 29 May 2011 15:25)


I don't agree with you Hank the Tank. Albanians in Greece,Macedonia and Montenegro get along very well with the other etnicitys. I don't see serbs getting along with bosniaks in Bosnia or Serbia. or with croats in Croatia. And in Kosovo it is the serbs who provoke albanians and sayes they don't want to live with albanians in an independent country. But if Kosovo were serbian they would live with albanians they say ??

The problem of not only Balkan but whole of Europe is serbs as serbs want to create ''Greater Serbia'' with albanian,bosnian,croatian and hungarian land.





As for the partition idea, serbs want anything we albanians give them now since they seem to understand that they are not in power to get anything by them self. You can get Zveqan and leposavic for presheva medvedgja and bujanovc. Nothing less and nothing more. North mitrovica is out of the question since Mitrovica is an city located in Kosovo.


Peace to all who want peace!

Dobrica Cosic was one of the men behind the SANU Memorandum (itself a rewritting of Draza Mihalovic genocidal “Seven Instructions”) which served as the ideological base for the dictatorship and atrocities of the Milosevic era.

He talks about partition of Kosovo… but would Serbia cede the areas in and around Albanian-populated Presevo Valley in exchange? Obviously no…

Mister Cosic,Kosova is partition alredy,from Serbia,if you did not know.
Serbia has created very dangerous precedent.Minorities in today world are treated as bridges to connect involved countries,but Serbia treat them as bridge for expansion,and putting there nose in internal problems of these countries.Slovakia and Romania are examples of this.Before they had no problem from there minorities,now they are in panic from this Serb created precedent.Only 10 years ago ,Serbia was so stuborn regarding anything to Kosova,today they are bagging only to get some part of it.
no partition,but Kosova in its original historic borders ,from Nis ,and south.

Is this guy talking from the jail or is him free?

the funniest comments were those of agim kelmondi and lili.

agim seems to be some fifteen-years old boy, dreaming of albanian supremacy, as boys of that age usually do. lili, ...well, a lost case, I´d say. in a few years the K-albanian will slowly come to reason and see that they are nothing, I will repeat it, NOTHING without US-support. and the US won´t support them forever. ...and by the way, lili must be very young too, otherwise she/he would remember how this army of chickenthieves was running away when the serbian military approached the scene.

no, our dear k-albanian friends still haven´t got the irony in the fact that they are coming to a serbian news-site, to entertain us with their greater-albanian phantasies... I am amused, really.


as for the article:

Mr.Cosis is an tired,old man. the next generation looks quite differently on things, and a strong serbian state will stop the greater-albanian fascism. and if they K-albanian do not take care, they could even lose more than they had before they thievishly grabbed for serbian territory.

let´s just see what future brings. I am quite confident. =)

Funny! Since Kosovo has no history, what should these 'historical borders' be like? And please, save the readers here from the story about the ancient Illyrians who lived there since 100,000 years (and who have been the ancestors of the Albanians, of course). Thanks :-)

______________________________________________________________

Stolen? When serbia gets territorial expansion at the expense of their neighbours then its ok (not stolen), when Albanians get territorial justice then its stolen.

Remeber might makes right, if there is a territorial theif in the Ballkans then by your logic peggy its not the Albanians.

There is no legitimacy for serbia to expand in the ballkans, what it has right now is more than it should according the the "legitimacy" way of seeing it."legitimacy" its proposterous to think serbia has any in the Ballkans in terms of territory especially before Albanian claims.
Which is why Serbia should stick to the (might makes right) becuase there is a flaw in serbian legitimacy.
Serbia extended its borders all over Westen Ballkans in 10-11th centry. Serbia build many churches in what it calls Kosovo on land populated by people who spoke Albanian. I don't remeber exactly which Serb conqueror said this in 10 centry : "I heard an Albanian cry from the mountains"


This is an example of might makes right.


Now fast foreward to 1999 a war over land is fought and Serbia looses,
its only natural to play the victim and try to claim some legitimacy:
(I got churches here Albanians have no physical history)
since the might makes right path is closed.
If you talk about legitimacy its the Illyrian descendants who logically hold legitimacy over Dardania. Its is ture the Illyrians were semi-civilized they didn't leave much pysical history behind no writings no buildings. Miraculously all that survives is the Albanians who didn't even have an alphabet until the 18th century. Nonetheless am still damn proud to be Albanian, against the odds we survived poised to make a comeback.

I love when you guys start talking about 10 centuries ago, it reminds me of X-men , there is always another story, and the story is mostly about mutants.

International history starts in 1878 and all facts before that are irrelevant (especially when you make them up). In the last card dealing Albania was a bit cutoff but mostly because the collaborated first with Nazi Germans and then with Stalin. I see this problem in the balance of human and civic rights and obligations.

Albanians have the right to live as they wish, they have the right to organize their own society as best as they can but also have the obligation to respect other cultures that live with them. As for a demand for a national state it is without grounds as Albanians already have a national state, but as an autonomous region which's autonomy is guaranteed by Albania itself which would have strong economic and cultural ties with the region of Kosovo (similar as with Republika Srpska and Serbia but pre-organized).

Serbians have the right to move freely over the region where they and their countrymen live. As Albanians, they also have the right to organize their lives as they wish. They have the right to claim their cultural heritage as their own and not "regional" and that their representatives have a say in the organisation. They also have the obligation to respect other cultures who live by them without prejudice and discrimination.

This would be solved if Serbia was like a 174-3-1 Parliamentary state where the representatives of all regions would work for joint effort, but that would be some hard work.

Is that the reason why you Serbs left (running) so-called 'republika krajina'? In the end you found out that stolen 'stuff' ain't good for you.
(ivan, 30 May 2011 01:08) serbs never ran anywhere, they left because of world pressure not operation nothing lol and yet it was over 250,000 croats and american air support against 55,000 Serbs lol how funny is that, and you ran and cried for 5 years all your operation did was kill old people and weak and woman and kids after the serb fighters had to leave their lands, yea so tough but ran when the fight is on and if you dont know krajina is ancient serbian lands not croatian lands at all just like istra is not croatian lands and the coast that was Italian lands and they want it back sooner than later because that land was given to Yugoslavia after world war two and there is no yugoslavia so they could claim it back right away. croatia was only zagreb in history that's it in krajina while the Serbs were fighting the turks you croats ran in fear to austria lol that's funny and krajina is back in talks about all Serbs to return and all homes rebuilt which that has started already and then full autonomy. so you will see the return of krajina in full force sooner than you think just like the coast back to the Italians and it was majority Serbs and Italians in those areas anyway and is pretty much now and now allot of Germans and others and the croat majority today is in zagreb and surroundings that's it because companies and hotels are German and Italians and a few serbian and from i read and i am sure you know Serbs are buying lands on the coast form serbia by the acres and islands more and more.

No, the key word is sacrifice. We obviously need to sacrifice a part of a holy land in order to get you bandits off our back.

I find it interesting how all of a sudden Mladic is captured and there's talk about partition.
I wonder if the Serb administration is readying the Serbian people for something.

Apart of that, I agree: Kosovo partition is the only viable solution. Interesting to read that the US even proposed it, and the Serbian hero Milosevic didn't agree, and now it's likely that whole Kosovo is lost for Serbia.
(Top, 29 May 2011 18:27)
True partition is the simplest, quickest and in most probability the most viable option for all parties. Then it would have been a very good solution would Milosevic have agreed, Serbia could actually be a key player not only in Europe but possibly the world scene by now.
However, the problem now is it is actually to Serbia's benefit more than anyone elses to put this behind them. I know many on here say that Serbia has all the time in the world and it is critical for Kosovo to cave. But actually Serbia has a lot of doors opening right now but they may not be open long. Serbia needs to have a definite course to follow.
Kosovo on the other hand has a lot of growing to do. Would UN membership at this point help Kosovo in any way other than pride-No. Would the ability to participate in international sport leagues be an asset yet, not really, they still need to develop themselves. It would be more useful for them to put together teams and participate in non league competitions for a few years. Are they ready for EU membership, not even close.
I know this may sound crazy coming from me because I am a 100% proponent for Kosovo independence. But the reality is it is not a fully developed state at this point, it needs time. As far as functionality with the 75 recognitions Kosovo really needs no new ones other than to accomplish the goals I mentioned.
Those are the areas that Serbia can block, it is not even a question of whether Kosovo can be free of Serbia 1244 guarantees that as long as it is in force, Serbia cannot exert any economical, political, or military control over Kosovo.
So at this point would Kosovo be willing to agree to a partition, it is highly unlikely unless there is a lot placed on the table, probably more than Serbia is ready to offer.
Remember the big problem here is Serbia does not look at it for what is best for Serbia, nor does Kosovo look at what is best for Kosovo. It is more what is worse for the other side.

"Remember the big problem here is Serbia does not look at it for what is best for Serbia, nor does Kosovo look at what is best for Kosovo. It is more what is worse for the other side."

Yes, both sides are not really interested in finding a viable solution and prefer to insist on their positions and 'enjoy' the status quo. So it can only be the EU and other donor countries to put pressure on them to find a compromise.

(Top, 30 May 2011 12:19)
Actually 1244 leaves that option open for a final decision to be made by a third party.
It states the role of the international civilian presence is
"Facilitating a political process designed to determine Kosovo's future status, taking into account the Rambouillet accords (S/1999/648);"
The Rambouillet accords state;
" Mechanism for final settlement. An international meeting will be convened after 3 years to determine a mechanism for a final settlement for Kosovo. The will of the people will be an important factor at the international meeting."

Although a settlement supported by both sides is optimal, it does not specify that it has to be agreed upon by either party.

According to him, the partition would “stop the great Albanian expansion and create conditions for normal life of both peoples”.

So according to the logic of this genius it was "the great Albanian Expansion" that also caused the wars in Slovenia,Croatia,Bosnia.And when the serbs try to attach all the serbian populated areas to Serbia it is not " a great Serbian expansion".

"Kosovo could only be solved with permanent partition"
There is some knowledgeable people advocating and others entertaining
idea of Kosovo partition.Before we rush in any such official proposal
to Kosovo Albanians, EU and UN we should carefully examine consequences.
To officially come up with such a proposal,first causality would be Versailles treaty and UN resolution 1244 we would place ourselves at
mercy of International community to re-draw the borders of Serbia according to their wishes with little or no input from Government of
Serbia.Acknowledgment of our failure to resolve the ethnic tension equitably and peacefully with out partition would place permanent stain on Serbian Nation character and that's not acceptable.There is quite few ethnic tension in other European States,no one is rushing with partition
and opening fragile Versailles treaty to resolve the ethnic issues.As it's
stand to day, there is only two valid documents which guarantee Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and that is:Versailles treaty and UN resolution 1244.That is the good starting point to negotiate plenty important issues with Kosovo Albanians, primarily co-existence issues:
Law and order,free trade and movements,protection of Serbian Orthodox Churches and Monasteries (without barb wire)land ownership,roads, transportation and utilities.With out endlessly discussing the issue of
Independence they should be told that we are not their colonizer therefore we can not grant them full independence.However,we should be willing to assist them in every way possible to develop their society.
