Sirens in north, KM introduces state of emergency

"complete withdrawal expected"

Expected by whom?? Oh, by Serbia. A lot of things are expected, yet very few will happen. They are not going anywhere, not until Kosova customs are placed in both places.

This was brilliant, it showed that Serbia is powerless and that Albanians controlled themselves unlike in March 2004. US, UK, France, Italy and Germany are behind this 100%.
(IO, 27 July 2011 09:53)

Kosovo customs in place? nice joke
The US, UK, Italy and Germany are behind it 100%? Thats another nice joke, stop trying to kid yourselves, they condemned the actions

The Serbs did well. Didn't overreact. Repelled the terrorists without suffering casualties. Well done Kosovo Serbs.

"This was brilliant, it showed that Serbia is powerless and that Albanians controlled themselves unlike in March 2004. US, UK, France, Italy and Germany are behind this 100%."

Yes, just like in 2004, KFOR had to prevent violence. If this is so brilliant, I don't know. EU and EULEX already condemed the stupid behavior of the wannabe politician Thaci.

I would prefer KFOR being able to reduce the troops, but now, it looks like they have to stay there some longer. Poor guys.

" One thing for sure, after the yesterday's event we know that Serbia doesn't belong to Europe. There is no chance that such a state will come into the EU. Never, not the slightest chance. Berlin will take necessary steps to make that sure because we do not want imported problems where a state arms civilians with which police men were attacked or even killed."
(JohnC., 27 July 2011 10:18)

First of all JohnC, I condemn any kind of violence, no matter from which side it comes. Second of all, Kosovo is not under authority of Serbia proper since 1999 but UNMIK and KFOR.
“state armed civilians” where did you get that? If you would know “the slightest” thing about this place, you would know that Kosovo is full of weapons. It is wild, wild West, : ). The necessary checks should have been done to prevent daily weapons smuggling from surrounding countries. Yet, with incapable people to stop it and failure of international forces to do so, we basically have weapons on every step and I am not talking about ordinary ones.

What we saw is that Berlin took “necessary steps” to “deport” unnecessary problems back to Kosovo. As per Serbia getting in EU, it is my hope it never does and would be grateful to Berlin to take “necessary steps” but not because Serbia is country as you described but other reasons. My advice, do some study and see what is going on, before you make conclusions.

And that's why many people have a some problems with criminal gangs govern a whole wannabe state, only to have a safe place for their main 'business' and establishing a new drug hub in Europe, in 2011.

Another deluded Albanian living and dreaming in the past. Your Albos are leaving as I write this comment.
If you’re US, UK, France, Italy and Germany could not force Serbia to recognize Kosovo before I can tell you that the horse has long bolted. This is your primitive lot trying to force (LOL, LOL, LOL) Serbia into recognizing it – rank amateurs trying to look like they are professionals.
As in the past your so called KPS rabble has packed their miserable bags and left with their tails between their legs. You see why Serbs are a special people; It’s because we don’t need US, UK, France, Italy and Germany to hold our hand, we do our own fighting unlike the Albanians who want their enemies tied so they can beat them like all good cowards.

One thing for sure, after the yesterday's event we know that Serbia doesn't belong to Europe. There is no chance that such a state will come into the EU. Never, not the slightest chance. Berlin will take necessary steps to make that sure because we do not want imported problems where a state arms civilians with which police men were attacked or even killed.

Once fully fledged establishment of police and customs is in adequate shape the withdrawal is logical, otherwise one can unjustly hope for the return to anarchy in the North.

We in the West support the policy WAR on Criminals gangs and struggle to make safe the borders.

I guess the return to anarchy may only suit the criminals. Hopefully Belgrade will distance, at last, from criminal activities in the North.

Now the choices Serbia has are severely limited.

eulex condems action by albanians. And Why albanians really want a kosovo stamp? Unmik stamp is fine. Why create more problems?

Sirens have started...
Again these wicked Albanian extremists started another adventure...
My dear Westerners,now you understand why we Serbs cannot live in peace with these people.
If you want peace you need two sides,the West must take decisive action against them,they did this only because they think that you are their private army and they can do whatever they want!

Remember the Serb returnees who a few days ago had to leave their houses in South Kosovo because Albanians time and again burned and destroyed them and Albanian "police" looked the other way or accompliced them?
Well that is the kind of "law and order" (aka terror) Albanians want to establish in the north!

1. Your from Albania, not the West
2. The West Condemned the actions

The KPS special forces did their job to put in place Serbian and Albanian custom officers so they can stop all illegal goods coming in Kosovo from the serbian criminal organizations based in Mitrovica. Kosovo government did the right thing.

This was a jurisdictional test, to establish ownership of borders. It will be interesting to see how the UN Security Council handles it, since Kosovo is more of a recognized 'nation' than a country, similar in concept to the province of Quebec in Canada or Scotland in the UK. Will the UN Security Council changes it view of Kosovo... it will be interesting to see.

"A Tanjug reporter at the scene says that a helicopter carrying members of the Kosovo police, KPS, landed at a KFOR base near Jarinje, but that after Serbs started to gather and protest, they went back inside the helicopter which then took off. "

Would Adem Jashari hesitate to fire a 9К32 “Cтрела-2” at the helicopter carrying JNA or Jugoslav Police units? Don't think so. Keep in mind, Albanians named the Pristina airport after Adem Jashari.

What is good for goose...

It appears Stefanovic was lying yesterday about the agreement with KFOR..That or maybe Tanjug was lying..

As in the past your so called KPS rabble has packed their miserable bags and left with their tails between their legs.

You Serbs do your own fighting? Arming the civilians? You did that fighting by instrumentalizing Serbs in Croatia as well. What did you get? You will get the same in the north. Just wait and see.

This is a known tactic by Jeremic. We all know that K. is not a UN member yet and Mr. Jeremic thinks he can capitalize on that. For everything that happens in K. he doesn't miss the opportunity to make a scene at UNSC and show himself in New York (unless he has some hidden girlfriend there).

Three things.
1. When the tactic is known to everyone, it's time to change the tactic.
2. More he travels to New York, less effective his appearance is.
3. When none of the above is taken in consideration than you just keep failing.

Am not sure who’s control the border between Kosovo and Serbia in Preseva valley area, but according to this theory it should be Albanians of preseva that form the majority on that area. I really like to see Albanians of Preseva control the border with Kosovo and block every single attempts made by Serbian police to get into the area. Kosovo don’t give up on your rights. Just for an historical reminder, Kosovo became part of Serbia in 1912 when the new state of Albania was created with Kosovo and some other parts left out and given to neighbors.

Well that is the kind of "law and order" (aka terror) Albanians want to establish in the north!

@uli

As for the history go back to school! Kosovo and Metohija are part of Serbia since 11 th century and Albanians came into Kosovo during Ottoman occupation i.e. in 16th century. During the period of Serbian medieval state Albanians in Kosovo comprised less than 1% of total population. They started to populate Kosovo to greater extent during Turkish occupation of the Serbia. Turks gave the Serbian lands to Albanians populating Serbia with Albanians even in Jagodina and Nis because Albanians were the most loyal servants to Ottoman occupators. Albanians also were the right hand of Turks in committing atrocities against Serbs in Kosovo and Macedonians in Macedonia.

Serbs returned Kosovo once and we will do it again and we won't make the same mistakes again.

Another simpleton from the Albo side. Serbs do their own fighting not like Albanians. What did the Croats do except kill old men women and children, but Croatia is not yet finished as you will see – I don’t make idle claims either unlike you.
What the Albos going to do – NOTHING; let me repeat again NOTHING because the powers will not let you even lift a finger, but we Serbs are going to take the same methods as your Albanians and use hit and run tactics and your people are going to do NOTHING. Send more special police in Coco the clown cloths and see how many come back.

Hope is a term that one wishes that he, or she, will one day become a proud parent, brother, sister, uncle, grandparent, (neighbor) or a good citizen living a normal life like the Europeans or as seen in television, life in United States of America. As for what has happen here in Kosovo, shame on you PM of Kosovo. You have shamed your so called Kosovo.
Kosovo, with the high rate of unemployment, corruption, one must wonder.
What has happen in the last few days, reading all the blogs, I imagine that ninety percent of all input comes from the new generation. How old where you in March 24, 1999. Ask the elders in Kosovo about the Tito era, great life, visa free, great pension. (What do the elders have today..? Just, memories.)
Ask any kid here in Kosovo, who’s the bad guy they will say the Serbians. Ask a Serbian kid they have no clue what happen during the evasion of Kosovo.
This is not retaliation on any side, just get the story straight. We live a life for the next generation, and one who rules should live and obey from the rule’s that are written.
For the police that lost his life may he rest in peace...
Education will bring forward the future generation.

Just me….

Nenad. As for your knowledge the books they teach you in Serbia are not the right sources of history. Kosovo has always been inhabitated from Albanians, long before Serbians came to Balkans. Albanians and Serbs have lived in Kosovo in different period of times together but to say Kosovo is Serbian just because Kosovo was given to you by force in 1912 is not right. You get your fact straights. Try wikipedia and Google, not bias sources. Yes, Albanians were Turkish right hand for some time but also fought Otomoan Empire the most. Our National hero is well regognized in Europe. And by the way, come and visit Albania sometimes, you might change your prospective.

ULI Go back to school!

In 1912 my friend Serbia occupied 2/3 of albania, and Greece had 1/3 of Albania, But the great powers prevented Serbia access to the sea so they created an independent albania in the Balkans for the first time in history!!!
As for Kosovo at that time the population was 50/50
but in 1878 there where almost 400k Serbs and only 100k albanians, as result of the Russo-turkish war in that year over 200k Serbs left kosovo.

Nothing in Kosovo is historical albanian, you are migrants or settlers since the turkish time.
also because of the albanian thug mentality, many Serbs who lived near albanians as a minority had to speak Albanian, and on that way their children also spoke albnian and before you know it they became Albanian,
there are enough kosovo Albanians who have last names of villages/towns from central Serbia....

One thing for sure, after the yesterday's event we know that Serbia doesn't belong to Europe. There is no chance that such a state will come into the EU. Never, not the slightest chance. Berlin will take necessary steps to make that sure because we do not want imported problems where a state arms civilians with which police men were attacked or even killed.

It will be interesting to see how the UN Security Council handles it, since Kosovo is more of a recognized 'nation' than a country, similar in concept to the province of Quebec in Canada or Scotland in the UK. Will the UN Security Council changes it view of Kosovo... it will be interesting to see.

Hope you haven't forgotten the air surveillance, who knows a lonely Ju-87 Stuka might show up... And don't forget to monitor the Ibar, what if Godzilla suddenly pops up? Can't be too careful nowadays...

Nenad. As for your knowledge the books they teach you in Serbia are not the right sources of history. Kosovo has always been inhabitated from Albanians, long before Serbians came to Balkans. Albanians and Serbs have lived in Kosovo in different period of times together but to say Kosovo is Serbian just because Kosovo was given to you by force in 1912 is not right. You get your fact straights. Try wikipedia and Google, not bias sources. Yes, Albanians were Turkish right hand for some time but also fought Otomoan Empire the most. Our National hero is well regognized in Europe. And by the way, come and visit Albania sometimes, you might change your prospective.

You Serbs do your own fighting? Arming the civilians? You did that fighting by instrumentalizing Serbs in Croatia as well. What did you get? You will get the same in the north. Just wait and see.

Another simpleton from the Albo side. Serbs do their own fighting not like Albanians. What did the Croats do except kill old men women and children, but Croatia is not yet finished as you will see – I don’t make idle claims either unlike you.
What the Albos going to do – NOTHING; let me repeat again NOTHING because the powers will not let you even lift a finger, but we Serbs are going to take the same methods as your Albanians and use hit and run tactics and your people are going to do NOTHING. Send more special police in Coco the clown cloths and see how many come back.

Hope is a term that one wishes that he, or she, will one day become a proud parent, brother, sister, uncle, grandparent, (neighbor) or a good citizen living a normal life like the Europeans or as seen in television, life in United States of America. As for what has happen here in Kosovo, shame on you PM of Kosovo. You have shamed your so called Kosovo.
Kosovo, with the high rate of unemployment, corruption, one must wonder.
What has happen in the last few days, reading all the blogs, I imagine that ninety percent of all input comes from the new generation. How old where you in March 24, 1999. Ask the elders in Kosovo about the Tito era, great life, visa free, great pension. (What do the elders have today..? Just, memories.)
Ask any kid here in Kosovo, who’s the bad guy they will say the Serbians. Ask a Serbian kid they have no clue what happen during the evasion of Kosovo.
This is not retaliation on any side, just get the story straight. We live a life for the next generation, and one who rules should live and obey from the rule’s that are written.
For the police that lost his life may he rest in peace...
Education will bring forward the future generation.

Just me….

ULI Go back to school!

In 1912 my friend Serbia occupied 2/3 of albania, and Greece had 1/3 of Albania, But the great powers prevented Serbia access to the sea so they created an independent albania in the Balkans for the first time in history!!!
As for Kosovo at that time the population was 50/50
but in 1878 there where almost 400k Serbs and only 100k albanians, as result of the Russo-turkish war in that year over 200k Serbs left kosovo.

Nothing in Kosovo is historical albanian, you are migrants or settlers since the turkish time.
also because of the albanian thug mentality, many Serbs who lived near albanians as a minority had to speak Albanian, and on that way their children also spoke albnian and before you know it they became Albanian,
there are enough kosovo Albanians who have last names of villages/towns from central Serbia....
