FM: Serbia to deepen relations with Latin America

“Some of our relationships were forged during the heyday of the Non-Aligned Movement. To mark the 50th anniversary of the First NAM Summit, held in my country in 1961, a special commemoration ministerial meeting will take place on September 5th and 6th in Belgrade - the city that symbolizes the beginning of the Movement,” he added.

Your country? What a crapp. Yugo was made up of federal entities of different nationalities, and your family happened to be one of them just like me and everybody else in former Yugo.
Is he making believe is Tito resurected from dead?

jesus, some of our dear k-albanian friends are not getting tired to spit their hatred around...

@Agim: you may never heard about it, but Serbia is the legal successor of the former Yugoslav State, so it has nothing to do with Tito, who is very likely only a word or name for you, but nevertheless, you should not go on with making a fool of yourself.

I can understand that your emotions are too strong to make rational use of your head, but, come on, at least try to write some better comments here.

by now I got the impression that you are only writing in order to have written something, no matter how wrong or weird it is.

@whathe:
also quite a poor comment, nobody can take advantage from your thoughts, actually. so, you could have spared your time for writing.

as for the article:
seems like our dear k-albanian friends have a problem with the fact that Serbia is having good relations to the southern-american continent. well, perhaps it´s because they feel deep down inside, that south-america´s hour is going to come yet.

too bad, the Albanians are solely depending on the USofA. what do you think what happens when they let you down? =)

what do you think how many "friends" will also call you an episode in the history of the balkans. and you as you certainly know, every episode has an end...

yours will be a happy end, since you will enjoy the advantages of the serbian state. it´s just a question of time, actually.

"Addressing the Forty-first OAS General Assembly, Jeremić said that for more than a century, the Organization of American States had been setting the Western Hemisphere's agenda for democracy, peace, development, and law and order. "

Not bad Vuk, the new member of choir comes from a landlocked state in another continent.
Vuk approved, so everything went smoothly.

Mr Jeremic

As long as you think(!) you get support from outside the continent of Europe, i am glad that you are happy with this.

Luckely for Kosova we are in Europe and it is Europe who is recognizing us and together with the US and many more economic strong countries, like Japan, Canada, ...;

We can wait for the recognisation of the other parts of the world but main thing is:

Kosova is governing their own future (without any rule from Belgrade)!

An article about Jeremic is always guaranteed to get the trolls squirming out of the woodwork.

There have been voices of the Caribbean countries recognizing in block for a long time now. Has not happened yet. Only now is Jeremic talking about this though. Hopefully only now is he worried. Hopefully something is moving and we'll see more recognitions.

"Freedom" has a very odd understanding of the relative strengths of the world's economies.

At the time of writing the Eurozone is in terrible turmoil. Both the US and Japan are mired in debt; the latter has been in the economic doldrums for two decades and its present nuclear disaster isn't helping matters.

As for Canada, who can fail to note the irony in a state ever in danger of its own division? Just google Kosovo + Quebec to check it out.

On the other hand, the BRIC countries, who are all against Kosovo independence, are the rising economies of the coming decades. In this matter of Kosovo, then, the voice of Euro-America will count less and less, and that of these other states more and more.

Back to Latin America: if there's one country that will resolutely oppose Kosovo independence it's Argentina, because of the obvious implications for its unbending claim to the Falklands (Malvinas). After all, on every count I can think of Serbia's claim to Kosovo is stronger than Argentina's to those islands (they're 300 miles further away; there's no Argentinian minority there; Argentinians have had 1000 years' less total residence time there; no event of great importance to Argentina's history took place on their soil, etc.).

And the thing is, compared to 1982 when e.g. Chile took the British side, Argentina has far more LA support for its stance on the islands. No Kosovo Albanian should wonder, then, at the general opposition of LA to independence there.

It is over three years now since February 2008. My prediction is that the trickle of recognitions will grind to a halt, no UN recognition will be conceivable, and the international community will be faced with yet another stalemate for the medium-term future.
