Tadić reacts to crisis: Serbia will not go to war

Every time Serbia starts a war it losses big. Why would you start something knowing that in the end you lose more than you win.

Kosovo's ban was a shock to Serbian officials because they have come to think of Kosovo as a supplicant(a person begging humbly and earnestly eg for mercy)in the talks. They note that Kosovo will never become a member of the UN without Serbia’s permission, so they believe Kosovo "needs"
Serbia. (Although it is also true that Serbia needs a resolution of the Kosovo issue to join the EU.) The main Serbian exports to Kosovo are foodstuffs and building materials. Many Serbian jobs depend on this market. Yet Kosovar importers can easily (if slightly more expensively) come up with substitutes, either by turning to Macedonian exporters or by diverting Serbian goods through Macedonia.

It clearly never occurred to Serbian officials that Serbia was far more dependent on the Kosovo market than vice versa, leaving them vulnerable to this sort of move. Good job Kosova!

"Serbia will not go to war"

You tried that already. Not just war but war with war crimes.

of course Serbia will not go to war because they will lose

Albanian terrorists are loosing nerves!
Their goal is not to seize the "border"posts,their goal is to create terror and fear,step up the pressure on the Serbs in the North so they would etnically cleanse them!
That is what Tadic needs to make clear to the Western politicians,this action has no backing from the EU or KFOR,they already said it!
Build barricads,do not allow these terrorists to achieve their goals and negotiate with KFOR so they force the Albanians back!

What do you need "special forces" for for taking administrative points?
Why not mixed Serb-Albanian police units?

Because it is a part of the greater Albanian plan and it will fail,Serbs from North are not going anywhere!

The West must stop the Albanian fascists immediately,this crisis is solely the responsibility of extremist Albanian nationalists in Pristina(Taci & co)

"Serbia will not go to war"

You tried that already. Not just war but war with war crimes.
(Yep, 26 July 2011 17:57)

You lot can not do anything without the USA or the Germans holding your hand and protecting you from international justice. That is why Pristina has absolutely nothing to do with Europe an behaves as if it is still the 18th century.

“Serbs there recognize neither the authority of the Kosovo Albanian government, nor the ethnic Albanian unilateral declaration of independence made over three years ago.”
…
The problem is that the serbs there do not recognize any authority. When UNMIK came over they wanted VJ and Serbian police, when EULEX came over they said they wanted UNMIK, when Kosovo police came over now they want EULEX. Always rebelling about nothing.

of course Serbia will not go to war because they will lose
(Hola Latinas Senorita, 26 July 2011 18:26) hehehehe are you joking are what the serbs beat you down in 1 week with 10,000 Serb police while you had 100,000+ and Islamic terrorists and you all ran away until the world saved the day and now you dont have the world to save you because they have major problems and it was the world that told tadic pleas dont fight YET so you keep dreaming.

So tell us Tadic, do Serbs in Kosovo need to defend themselves, since you don't wish to take care of protecting Serbian citizens?
Don't be astonished if they tell you that YOU don't represent them since they're right !!!

So if Kosovo gonverment tries to collect taxes in North is wrong according to serbs.
I can asure you that your gonverment will do the same if hungarian minority will hold hostage the checkpoints in Subotica.
So why are you whining that Kosovo gonverment did something it should have done since 2008?
Btw the ICO office supported the gonverment of Kosovo today.

of course serbia will not go to war....first they will lose and second they dont care about the serbs in northern kosovo, serbia just uses them and its parallel institution.....

I was reading up to this article while i understood that the KSP was actually trying to take over a border controll run by serbs, Taci doesnt dissagree and even says he was suported by the eu (witch they say its not true)

An such act is a declaration of war against Serbia and it was lucky that the locals acted beacuse Tadic woulndt.

Tadic says hes not a traitor but i say "traitors are defined, not by themselves but by the people they betray".

Take care this week because it seems war is on the loom again.

Easy to say hiding behind the apron strings of your pimp.

And with the tail between legs albanian special forces go back where they came from..
Great job Serbs from K.Mitrovica-you guys are awesome..

Why would Tadic mention the word 'war'?
Bc it gets instant attention in Serbia. He wants to shift focus from real problems his country is facing such as poverty, unemployment, EU admission, crime, corruption, etc.

Moderate Serbs (I like to think most of them fall in this group) are tired of wars and old tales. They want a better life. So, they will finally move to accept Kosovo as an independent country...thus aiding Tadic in this matter.

To those of you who disagree and are ready to take up arms consider the chain of events that took place:

- You said Kosovo would never be accepted as an independent country?
You were wrong! Although, you can try to argue based on semantics reality proves otherwise.

- ICJ - you lost the case. But, ICJ gave you enough to kid yourselves. Again, reality proves otherwise as Serbia has no control over Kosovo. And, after ROSA units took over the border checkpoints Serbia showed it has no control over them.

- Embargo on Serbian goods - Eulex says it will look into this matter.
What are the results?

- KPS special forces at border checkpoints.
Eulex will officially say it was not a 'wise' idea but will do nothing about it.

You can all choose to believe what you wish. Ignorance is bliss!

But, the truth is staring you straight in your face. It's up to you if you want to accept it or not.

My opinion is that this was, perhaps, coordinated ahead of time.
Serbia now needs to show good 'neighborly relations'.

In the end, ROSA units will retreat but in accordance with Eulex will agree to patrol those checkpoints to make sure the ban on Serbian goods is upheld. This will become a frequent occurrence.

Serbs in the area will get used to these units. Eventually, their presence will increase and some kind or rule will begin to take place in that part.

We shall see.

I'm sorry that this has escalated, but not surprised.

Say what you like about Belgrade's policies, but Belgrade isn't responsible for this latest escalation and I expect the internationals will realise this. What they are willing to do about this is the question.

You lose. Think you albos can take over the Balkans, do you? Today, you lose. Next week, your american government friends lose when they default.

Is Tadic a silly teenage girl or an actual traitor? No one ever rules out "war" in advance unless they are either. This is why the West does not take this buffoon seriously. He does not take himself seriously. This pathetic buffoon could have said "Serbia does not seek war but Albania's aggression will be countered if necessary". No one would have criticized that .....no one could have criticized it! Instead the clown squeals "I surrender". He will not be re-elected, he is despised by the great majority of ethnic Serbs and THE EU IS ALREADY DEAD. Get over it.

(BT, 26 July 2011 21:31)

Thank you very much for confirming that your goal is to ethnically cleanse Serbs from Mitrovica like you cleansed them from Pristina,Pec and other kosovo cities!
Not this time,my friend,this is not 1999 where the international community will allow your Greater Albanian warmongering which was born out of frustration cause you didnt get what you wanted in the talks between Bogdanovic and Tahiri!
Be prepared to get spanked by your "allies",this action will have consequences for you!

I think that the best solution for the Serbs is to become Albanians.
(kosovaman, 26 July 2011 21:39)

Looking at all Slavic-sounding Albanian family names - no doubt, this is what happened in the Ottoman past pretty frequently. You guys slap your own face.

fact #1:No matter what Mr Tadic is planning to do, Serbia will never be part of EU.

fact #2:Well considering Serbia is on the route which connects EU(Germany) with the middle east and Asia(which strategically is very important) there is always going to be some kind of conflict in those parts, its not an end of it!
fact #3: History is repeating itself!

of course Serbia will not go to war because they will lose

(serbian supporter from Italy, 26 July 2011 19:25)

The figures you have written are rather the opposite.
100.000 Serb military,paramilitary and police+every K-Serb civilian was armed to the teeth fighting against 5000 KLA fighters inside Kosova.

@Stefanovic&Bogi's comments; Pure lies, bc those border crossings(1&31)are in firm control of Kosova goverment.

As for Tadic mentioning the word " war", means squat and he knows it.

those criminals in Pristina are acting out of sheer despair, it seems. they have no ideas, no strategy, no real vision ( except their greater albanian phantasy, of course ) and therefore they had to come up with some action that is meant to be an internal caress for the k-albanian soul... but they know very well that Serbia could crush them at anytime, if there was the need to do so. but Serbia won´t fall for stupid provocations I guess. it´s too early for actions like this,...that will need some more time, but then it will be even more effective, I would say.

Tadic is losing ground, by standing still. and that is good. K-albanians exposing their limitations, Tadic looking like paralyzed and the world witnessing albanian aggression. very nice. just go on, my dear k-albanian friends!

The reason that Serbian extremists are angry is they do not want to lose northern Mitrovica. Mitrovica is the last part they are trying to destroy and then divide Kosovo. Take a look how the Serb children in leposavic living around the drugs that Serbs are taking up. Serbs in northern Mitrovica will never be able to split Mitrovica. Over 50 percent of the population in Mitrovica has never lived there but they are criminals from all over Serbia. That the Serbs shoot sniper on the police indicate that they are extremists and they must be either executed or send them back to Serbia, which will happen

…
The problem is that the serbs there do not recognize any authority. When UNMIK came over they wanted VJ and Serbian police, when EULEX came over they said they wanted UNMIK, when Kosovo police came over now they want EULEX. Always rebelling about nothing.
(blue and gold, 26 July 2011 18:19)

I absolutely agree with the above comment. Even if Tadic's forces come to protect them they will complain and probably want them replaced with Kostunica or Seselj forces, and so on. I think that the best solution for the Serbs is to become Albanians.

of course Serbia will not go to war because they will lose

I don't get it> why you are mentioning the WAR? pls take it out this word from your dictionary.

reading all these comments makes me believe that war is about to begin again, nonethelesss it never stopped on the official or improvised blogs like this one. the worst part of all is that many of you guys are still trying to use distorted or from scratch invented history as weapon and not as a mean for truth and understanding. stop with the mujahidin and the terrorist allegation because it's a monotonous borin groundless bullshit. besides during the war serbs could rely on one of the best trained and equipped army in europe while KLA was barely armed and funded by private donations. There was no chance for the former to keep up with the serb forces without nato interventions neither would have been a Thaci government today. The fact remains that 90% of the land is populated by kosovo albanians and is up to them to decide the status so the border take control action may seem inappropriate for the stability but it is a legitimate move which sooner or later had to be done.

"...the ongoing crisis in northern Kosovo to say that Serbia "will not go to war".

What a stupid comment. To mention another war, even in the negated form. Unlike some self-proclaimed politicians in Pristina, Tadic is educated enough and should know well that problems can only be solved by dialogue and by diplomatic manners and not by unilateral moves and aggression.

The figures you have written are rather the opposite.

Nice lies, It didnt take the entire Yugoslav army to deal with the issue, nor did the KLA numbers from early 1998 stay the same

it was 16,000 Yugoslav troops, 3000 Police, 1000 Red Berets, 2500 Paramilitaries and 1000 Foreign Fighters Vs around 25,000 KLAs and some 2000 Foreign mercenaries/Mujahideen.

Just out of curiosity can you name a single battle the KLA won?

Tadić reacts to crisis: Serbia will not go to war


Well, your serbia doesn't have balls to go to war with anyone(especially with Kosova), just sit, relax and watch what's going to happen with serbian terrorists in the northern part of the country who killed a KPS member today.
P.S Please do us Albanians a favour and start a war if you can.

"Looking at all Slavic-sounding Albanian family names - no doubt, this is what happened in the Ottoman past pretty frequently. You guys slap your own face.
(Ataman"

Isn't Ataman a Turkish surname?

Isn't Ataman a Turkish surname?
(metrod, 27 July 2011 02:40)

There is no such surname. It's a play with the words on my side and a similarly sounding Cossack military rank, one below "Head man" ( = said as "Hetman"). Came via Poland by the way.

Honestly,
I think partition/exchange is the best solution. No one wants to be ruled by foreigners.
I appreciate the heroic courage of Tadic in his speeches around the area lately. He is bringing a much needed resolve and peace.
the problem is that the Albanian media hasn't covered his work, mainly bc they are used to Belgrade tricks and think it s just another one, and we have had some tense situations in Albania as well since January.
In Albanian forums that picked news of Tadic''s idea, everyone of the commenters agreed with it. The Albanian public right now is not aware
Even Kosovo officials from interviews are caught in between. They know they are officially responsible for the north area and they want to do their job, ( they actually said that), but you could also tell they were uncomfortable with it.
The ball is on Serbia's court. Tadic has to keep going with the partition idea. Speak up, communicate, often and everyday. Most importantly don't give up! The Albanian public DOESN'T KNOW about Tadic''s recent peaceful efforts in the region.
Please, it is really important for the Balkans, speak to the Albanian public directly. His speeches in Bosnia, in the children mountain camp etc were beautiful. But I learned them from my research online. other people don't know.
Once Albanians see that Serbia has turned the page and learn of the partition proposed, like the forumers will realize is what everyone wanted and is needed. The fact that Serbia itself is speaking like this, makes you the hero. It is empowering that you who were the most abhorred brought the positive change. In the end, Albanians are tolerant people and we don't want to impose ourselves on others.
Please, also understand Kosovo Albanians and their latest moves. They have been repressed, psychologically tortured for a long time and need to feel they have a say. Please, don't focus on their recent moves. Focus on your main priority, partition/exchange.
We Albanians and Serbs have argued and insulted each other to no end, and then we have felt powerless bc of third party interveners who made the ultimate decisions. If either side claims to be so intelligent, why can't we compromise?
The problem is that Albanians have lost their trust in Serb's word, as they have been tortured and juggled around by Serb trick politics.
Tadic seems serious. If he appeals publicly, covered also by the BBC and such world mass media, in the presence of international officials, there will be a public push, and since this is always what we wanted to happen it will.
In the end, neither Eulex, nor Germans will live in the Balkans but us, so it is time to learn to COMMUNICATE with each other, with the condition of respect for each other and the well being of the region.
I am upset that the BBC covered the tension in North Kosovo but not on the positive work of Tadic!

Tadic will do what his MASTERS tell him.The USA and the EU are to blame by giving the Albanians the GREEN LIGHT to go forward with the operation.

Every time Serbia starts a war it losses big. Why would you start something knowing that in the end you lose more than you win.

There was no chance for the former to keep up with the serb forces without nato interventions neither would have been a Thaci government today. The fact remains that 90% of the land is populated by kosovo albanians and is up to them to decide the status so the border take control action may seem inappropriate for the stability but it is a legitimate move which sooner or later had to be done.

Tadic will do what his MASTERS tell him.The USA and the EU are to blame by giving the Albanians the GREEN LIGHT to go forward with the operation.

fact #3: History is repeating itself!

fact #4: Somebody here is sailing under a false flag, i.e. abusing my alias. Get your own (and spell it correctly)! I could offer you Dilat Larath, Iznogoud's faithful helper and servant, when he tries to become the Caliph instead of the Caliph.

"Looking at all Slavic-sounding Albanian family names - no doubt, this is what happened in the Ottoman past pretty frequently. You guys slap your own face.
(Ataman"

Isn't Ataman a Turkish surname?

There is no such surname. It's a play with the words on my side and a similarly sounding Cossack military rank, one below "Head man" ( = said as "Hetman"). Came via Poland by the way.

Honestly,
I think partition/exchange is the best solution. No one wants to be ruled by foreigners.
I appreciate the heroic courage of Tadic in his speeches around the area lately. He is bringing a much needed resolve and peace.
the problem is that the Albanian media hasn't covered his work, mainly bc they are used to Belgrade tricks and think it s just another one, and we have had some tense situations in Albania as well since January.
In Albanian forums that picked news of Tadic''s idea, everyone of the commenters agreed with it. The Albanian public right now is not aware
Even Kosovo officials from interviews are caught in between. They know they are officially responsible for the north area and they want to do their job, ( they actually said that), but you could also tell they were uncomfortable with it.
The ball is on Serbia's court. Tadic has to keep going with the partition idea. Speak up, communicate, often and everyday. Most importantly don't give up! The Albanian public DOESN'T KNOW about Tadic''s recent peaceful efforts in the region.
Please, it is really important for the Balkans, speak to the Albanian public directly. His speeches in Bosnia, in the children mountain camp etc were beautiful. But I learned them from my research online. other people don't know.
Once Albanians see that Serbia has turned the page and learn of the partition proposed, like the forumers will realize is what everyone wanted and is needed. The fact that Serbia itself is speaking like this, makes you the hero. It is empowering that you who were the most abhorred brought the positive change. In the end, Albanians are tolerant people and we don't want to impose ourselves on others.
Please, also understand Kosovo Albanians and their latest moves. They have been repressed, psychologically tortured for a long time and need to feel they have a say. Please, don't focus on their recent moves. Focus on your main priority, partition/exchange.
We Albanians and Serbs have argued and insulted each other to no end, and then we have felt powerless bc of third party interveners who made the ultimate decisions. If either side claims to be so intelligent, why can't we compromise?
The problem is that Albanians have lost their trust in Serb's word, as they have been tortured and juggled around by Serb trick politics.
Tadic seems serious. If he appeals publicly, covered also by the BBC and such world mass media, in the presence of international officials, there will be a public push, and since this is always what we wanted to happen it will.
In the end, neither Eulex, nor Germans will live in the Balkans but us, so it is time to learn to COMMUNICATE with each other, with the condition of respect for each other and the well being of the region.
I am upset that the BBC covered the tension in North Kosovo but not on the positive work of Tadic!
