Thanks Mendo. the unending flow of evil and nastiness against us has become so de rigueur here, it's almost funny, a parody of the other side. what's not at all funny is how they are always facilitated. think about it.
there are serbs who think otherwise -- i've always tried to point that out (when allowed here, which is seldom). you see that, for one example at site Pescanik, which made the break and has moved on. it is NOT about ethnicity, it is about people who have a conscience, despite all odds.
yes, dissidents need to support one another. thanks again, and to all who have shown support and encouragement. i send that back to you all!
it is so very easy to wrestle in the mud and merde, with the usual suspects. it is so much harder to take the high road, for me as well. but it's the better path.
"Then the week after half of Serbia would go hungry because EU stopped giving them aid."
EU funds are long since allocated for Serbia and are not distributed or controlled by Germany. Just writing something of which you know absolutely nothing does not make it a fact. Another sad person who has no understanding of EU institutions or functions.
Tadic should do what Dodik did: call for a referendum, have a few choice words with leaders of the EU and US, call off the referendum (saying that in hindsight having those choice words made him realize that calling for it was a bad idea), act like nothing ever happened, ask Serbia and Russia for money and political cover to stave off bankruptcy and humiliation, and proclaim a political victory. Works every time and is sure to get him those crucial Serb nationalist hardliner votes he needs.
"If Tadic was a real man, which he is not, he would have given Merkel a few choice words behind closed doors, and kicked her out of the country." - Dragan
Then the week after half of Serbia would go hungry because EU stopped giving them aid. Please do not kid yourself into thinking Serbia can do as it pleases. It is a very small fish in a very big sea in which countries like Germany are the Sharks. Serbia depends on foreign aid to survive. Most of that foreign aid comes from the EU which in turn gets most of its money from economically powerful countries like Germany. You might live outside the country and talk that way but to people in Serbia who every day depend on money coming from abroad to survive having good relations with Germany and the EU is vital and souring those relations by offending visiting heads of state is simply not an option.
I see here to many Serbs pretend to care in what state Kosovas economy is when we all know that because of Serbia Kosovo is poor today but much much better then when it was in Yugoslavia. And as somebody mention here we see a big big success that we have nothing to do with Belgrade.

You are right! And as long as the same criminals from the 90s in Kosovo are still in power (now pretending to be 'politicians'), we will never see any progress in Kosovo becoming a country with democratic and European standards.
One of the factors for success for Albanians in Kosova is having nothing to do with Belgrade and we have been very successful in that.
(The Count of Kosova, 23 August 2011 21:16)
Now I understand why Kosovo spends (donor) money for buying recognitions than to improve the region, create a better environment for investments and improve the living conditions of the average citizen: The only success Kosovo has is based on 'having nothing to do with Belgrade'! Who cares for unemployment and poverty?
Dragan and Mike C you two live in fantasy world of the Serbs innocents and goodness but not the world it has no illusions. Not only have the Serbs pissed off the EU in Kosovo by their relentes destructive murderous tactics. Now the EU is buying Patria AMV for Kosovo forces that Croatia is making for and training. Next Serb provocation will be shut down in no time Croatia has experience shutting down dealing with unruly murderous rabble around the world http://www.vidoevo.com/yvideo.php?i=RU0zNVRtcWuRpUWlRYzg&hrvatska-vojska-u-mirovnim-misijama .
Kosovo Albanians know all their unilateral actions are approved by Germany. Like their biggest unilateral was decalaring independence. And that was endorsed. That comment of Merkel makes no sense. Only Serbian actions are bad. No Albanian actions are bad. The only thing is for Serbia to endorse unilateral Albanian actions. Like the unilateral indepence declartion. Germany has no problems with unilateral Albanian actions. That is just a bizarre lie Merkel is telling. Serbia will never ever be a member of the EU. Never ever.
One of the factors for success for Albanians in Kosova is having nothing to do with Belgrade and we have been very successful in that.
(The Count of Kosova, 23 August 2011 21:16)
Very true... As anyone who has ever been to Kosovo will tell you, at the very least, not having Serbian security forces in Kosovo is a big accomplishment for your people. Considering what Serbs forces (both regular and irregular) have done in the Balkans it is incredibly important to never again allow their presence amongst vulnerable unarmed civilian populations. Without security nothing can began to prosper. At least the average citizen of Kosovo both Albanian and Serb) can go to school without seeing Serbian paramilitary formations performing manuevers by the side of the road or fear being kidnapped off a school bus like many of the documented cases that occured in the Balkans during the war.
Like any start-up corporation which does not generate profits for years, the economy of Kosovo will improve and one day develop into a success story. Until that point is reached it is important for the people of Kosovo to keep security first in their minds and do what they can to improve their lives and educate their children. All good things will come in time.
You guys are getting to be very dull and boring. Enough already with putting down one another, its' so annoying!!
OK, Kosova is the poorest reagion, if you claim so!! who cares what you think, I sure don't,, and I guarantee you that no Albanian cares either. Get one thing through your thick skulls, Albanians would rather be poor than be under Serbian occupation. Get over it already, we're not entertaining your low blows anymore; boring, redundant and extreemly annoying.
You're like a broken record, but do not realize that WE DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK!! GET IT???!!!
Be done with it as we have better things to deal with, like mingling with Amers, Germans, French, Brits etc.
Oh, pls say it ain't so!!!
Kosova is Switzerland compare to the mentioned above poverty zones.
(Agim Kelmendi, 23 August 2011 20:05)
Is that why Kosovo has the dialling code for my wonderful Monaco, because it is Switzerland? Not only do the likes of you have a very poor understanding of geography, you also fail to realise that Germany is your milchkow that you can do nothing without.
A funny lot germans. They've just said that they want to double investment in Serbia which means they have chosen a Serbia that follows the law, and not a mafia protectorate that the withered old prune they call the Chancellor supports. How many foreign investments have failed in Pristina's territories? All Pristina's big projects have collapsed though rampant corruption. Kosovo can only get free money from the arabs!
I think after Merkel's remarks today, it is very very obvious that Germany is trying in every way possible to weaken and destroy Serbia. For those naive Serbs out there, (and there are many, many of you) who think that Germany is somehow our friend and trying to help us (even though they have never been our friend nor helped us in their entire history), I say get your head our of your backside and wake up.
Germany openly supports KLA terrorists and anyone else who is Serbia's enemy, while doing everything in their power to make Serbia smaller, weaker, and subservient like all our neighbours.
If Tadic was a real man, which he is not, he would have given Merkel a few choice words behind closed doors, and kicked her out of the country. Her support for Thaci's KLA terrorists and the attempted theft of sovereign Serbian land is disgusting. Germans have never brought anything good to Serbia, only death, despair and destruction - and they should be told they are not welcome on Serbian soil, to take their EU and shove it up their.....We need Kostunica back, badly!
Cheers!

"Merkel also said the European Union's EULEX justice mission should be given free rein to operate in Kosovo, and that parallel Serb structures that are still in place there should be dismantled. "
Did you expect Deutsche Welle to publish something else? Does Frau Merkel think that she is God?
"Merkel also said the European Union's EULEX justice mission should be given free rein to operate in Kosovo, and that parallel Serb structures that are still in place there should be dismantled."
Then maybe EULEX should start doing its job by arresting many KLA thugs that hold political positions in "Kosova". The fact that there have been, are, and will be parallel Serbian structures means that "Kosova" is a myth, a monster creation, and a certain failure. Maybe Frau Merkel should start giving the many Turks in Germany autonomy in the areas where they have become a majority. Maybe Frau Merkel should worry about the still relatively lower standard of living in het beloved former-DDR part of Germany.

Kosovo a Switzerland? The joke of the day! It's a matter of fact that Kosovo is the poorest region in Europe, together with Moldova. Don't see the villas of Thaci and other corrupt politicians or 'businessmen'(=mafia bosses) as a sign of wealth.
The link to this article posted below sums up the situation: Poor, corrupt politicians, manipulated elections, 'politicians' who only care for their (illegal) business and not for the state, no real independence, and so on. I just don't see a solution for these imminent problems pointed out by this so-called 'self-determination movement'.
--He mentioned acts of ethnic Albanian violence targeting and expelling Serbs in 2004, which changed ethnic structure, and said Kosovo Albanian government's sending of police units to the north in July was meant to change the situation on the ground.--
but apparently, he forgot to mention that lovely gift from serbia in 1999, when nearly 1 million albanians were terrorized and deported, some 12,000 murdered, we still don't know how many raped, tortured, properties destoyed. we're still looking for over 1,000 albanian bodies, at least, and 100s of others. which are no longer bodies if you catch my drift.
Thanks, serbia!
for serbia, for tadic, here is the 90s: all sides did bad things, let's get over it. it doesn't quite work that way. belgrade will never again govern Kosova. i mean the whole of kosova. if the belgrade regime really thinks differently, they have some screws loose.
the evil that serbia perpetrated onto the balkans is yet to be dealt with. if left on their own, these crimes will NEVER be dealt with. serbia will simply continue to torment the people of kosova and bosnia, every day, in every way, with their rhetoric, with their policies, and thru their proxies.
the eu members, ethically lax as they may be, will never import all of that cr-p into the eu. they would be insane to, and one thing they are is pragmatic. so -- either belgrade learns to make peace with its neighbors, or is stuck on the not-so-lovely 90s. get it?
and "sending" their top mass murderers (thru bribery and various sundry pressures)to the Hague doesn't solve it all. not by a long shot. until they will deal honestly with their evil past, we will never see progress in the balkans.
"I expect the EU's clear stance on this. We find it unacceptable for those who conduct violence to be awarded," said he.
Here you go Mr.Tadic.You answer your own questions.That is why Serbia that is the main factor of violence in the Belkans shouldn't be rewarded with the EU membership.Even if you ignore the wars of the nineties just three weeks ago you killed an Albanian cop and burned down the customs.So you are right.Violence shouldn't be rewarded.
If you call that progress then you don't know what success is.

Please provide a link of that transcript. If you cannot do that then it is clearly something that you made up because you want something that is a fairy tail. However, if true I would say that Germany should for once and for all stop trying to intervening in Serbia's internal affairs. The have already done more than enough harm. Unfortunately Tadic lacks the courage to tell this publicly or in Frau Merkel's face. She is either ignorant or not very smart when she says those rhetoric statements to please her loyal puppets in Zagreb and Pristina and to try and piss of those stubborn Serbs.
Kick her out of the country asap and burn the EU application! It's been made very clear that they support their old Albanian and Croatian allies. Work on 'normalizing' relations with Russia and China instead.
One of the decisive sentences of Chancelor Merkel, Tanjug didn't mentioned (guess why..).
Merkel clearly said that Serbia must stop meddling in the North of Kosovo and allow Pristina to take control over whole Kosovo. That was one of the pillars of her message. "No recognition yet, but steps to normalize the situation". Giving up the North is one.
So you Tanjug writlings. Next time you tell the half-truth, make sure that you are the only one who can hear the source, because your lies are getting very boring.
"If somebody dosent understand. Serbia has lost!!!"
Demi
It doesn't look like it on the ground. Certainly not in the north of Kosovo. Your "kosova army" tried to take over the border but ended up running back to Pristina with their tails between their legs.
"Serbia should look at Croatia which has fulfilled all the conditions for EU membership".
Does one of those conditions include the expulsion of the minority population? Only Serbia and Republika Srpska are left with minorities while Croatia, Kosovo and muslim/croat federation have expelled theirs and are now being rewarded for it. Bringing in fascist Croatia into the EU is just another reason Serbia should not join.
You are right about new roads being built in Kosovo but that is pretty much it. During Serbias rule serbs and albanains lived together. Now they are seperated and they don't trust eachother. Today albanians work for 5 euros per day, if they are lucky to have a job. The unemployment rate is 60 percent. You don't have white schengen and can't travel anywhere?
Even albanians are getting tired of the current situation:

"When you say mafia/governmental authorities, this expression works for all Balkan countries."
- Fair enough Luan, I agree with you.
"Are you sure Serbian government is better? Both governments in Beograd and Pristina do business with those mafia groups in north Mitrovica."
(Luan, 23 August 2011 16:35)
The problem here, as I see it, is that you specify north Mitrovica... You are correct in that there is no ethnic trouble between gangsters, they only see green. Where I disagree with you is what appears to be your singling out the north as being more "gangster" than the south. In my opinion, Thachi and company are using the north as a diversion so people do not focus on real issues affecting them. The north has very, very little to do with the average Kosovo Albanian. Were Thachi smart he would spend all this energy and effort to fight corruption and bring in investment rather than use the age old tactic of using a group of people as scapegoats. As evidenced by German BND and US sources, Thachi is a criminal of epic proportions. (Then again, the line is usually blurry between criminals and politicians, but I digress.) Were it someone with a relatively clean background calling for rule of law and the like, it would be one thing, but Thachi doing so seems a bit silly to me.
As for life before or after Serbia, I cannot judge since I am neither Albanian or Serb so I will take your word for it - to each his/her own opinions.
The only losers are the people living in Kosovo considering the mafia/governmental authorities there. No jobs, no investment, and even with 150 recognitions they will be forever excluded from the UN.
(Englebert, 23 August 2011 11:00)
We, people of Kosovo (excluding Serbs of north part) , do not think in that way. From your point of view you have right, but it was worst before. Life in Kosovo is three times better than it was during Serbian regime. You should ask Serbs who travel to Kosovo often what do they think. Large roads and highways, which are built, did not exist during Serbian regime in Kosovo. Economy was always broken in Kosovo. Some factories built in Kosovo worked for Beograd not for people of Kosovo. Albanians never enjoyed benefits of these factories, so this is why Albanians are happy with new life. When you say mafia/governmental authorities, this expression works for all Balkan countries. Are you sure Serbian government is better? Both governments in Beograd and Pristina do business with those mafia groups in north Mitrovica.
So no Eu it is then. Hey-ho. Next! Anyway, if we let Kosovo go, there will always be something else. Maybe just a free trade agreement is possible. They can keep the euro. If this is how they treat people, screw em.
The only way to do that is for Serbia to recognize Kosovo. Kosovo dosen't accept anything less to normalize relations with Serbia.
(Demi, 23 August 2011 10:11)
It's about what the EU wants and accepts. As everybody should have noted, the EU sets the conditions for the Pristina-Belgrade talks. Who cares what Kosovo wants?
It seems that those albanian and croatian supporters that regularly bleat on b92 do so from bent, subservient knees to countries like Germany. Mere poodles if you will. Where would they be without their great sponsors and a point in history where their interests are briefly in alignment with the strategic interests of those powers? Serbia has stood up to Germany before and will do so again, unlike their neighbors.
After meeting with Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor, Merkel said a press conference that she was going to Belgrade with the message that "Serbia should look at Croatia which has fulfilled all the conditions for EU membership".
Yeah, Croatia has done its duty, by inflicting yet another genocide against its Serbian population, and then not allowing returnees to come back. They hold nazi concerts in the centre of Zagreb and their government officials praise indicted war criminals as 'heroes'. They have real 'European Values'. What a joke. They actually have 'German Values' and this is why Merkel is so proud of them.
The good news is that Merkel did not straightforwaard demand recognition of Kosovo for EU accession. A success of Serbian diplomacy. The bad news is that a European leader asks for the surroundings states of a "failed state" to normalize its relations with this artificial protectorate-rogue state. How is Germany going to do that, trade in drugs & organs too? Sending German generals enjoying themselves in Pristina with prostitutes forever?
Pointing at Croatia as a lighting example is a Gutspah. They did not deliver Gotovina(Spain arrested him). They did not execute Dayton agreements.Instead they celebrate ethnic cleansing= olluja. Can it be worse? Did Merkel forget that Kohls recognition of Croatia set the Balkan in fire? He only did that to thank the Croatians for their service in WO I & II and almost initiated WO III. Will Germans ever learn, or do they need Serbs to blame? As a Feigeblatt?
The only way to do that is for Serbia to recognize Kosovo. Kosovo dosen't accept anything less to normalize relations with Serbia.

All good things will come in time.
Dragan and Mike C you two live in fantasy world of the Serbs innocents and goodness but not the world it has no illusions. Not only have the Serbs pissed off the EU in Kosovo by their relentes destructive murderous tactics. Now the EU is buying Patria AMV for Kosovo forces that Croatia is making for and training.

The problem here, as I see it, is that you specify north Mitrovica... You are correct in that there is no ethnic trouble between gangsters, they only see green. Where I disagree with you is what appears to be your singling out the north as being more "gangster" than the south. In my opinion, Thachi and company are using the north as a diversion so people do not focus on real issues affecting them. The north has very, very little to do with the average Kosovo Albanian. Were Thachi smart he would spend all this energy and effort to fight corruption and bring in investment rather than use the age old tactic of using a group of people as scapegoats. As evidenced by German BND and US sources, Thachi is a criminal of epic proportions. (Then again, the line is usually blurry between criminals and politicians, but I digress.) Were it someone with a relatively clean background calling for rule of law and the like, it would be one thing, but Thachi doing so seems a bit silly to me.
As for life before or after Serbia, I cannot judge since I am neither Albanian or Serb so I will take your word for it - to each his/her own opinions.
Did you expect Deutsche Welle to publish something else? Does Frau Merkel think that she is God?
"Merkel also said the European Union's EULEX justice mission should be given free rein to operate in Kosovo, and that parallel Serb structures that are still in place there should be dismantled."
Then maybe EULEX should start doing its job by arresting many KLA thugs that hold political positions in "Kosova". The fact that there have been, are, and will be parallel Serbian structures means that "Kosova" is a myth, a monster creation, and a certain failure. Maybe Frau Merkel should start giving the many Turks in Germany autonomy in the areas where they have become a majority. Maybe Frau Merkel should worry about the still relatively lower standard of living in het beloved former-DDR part of Germany.
Kosovo Albanians know all their unilateral actions are approved by Germany. Like their biggest unilateral was decalaring independence. And that was endorsed. That comment of Merkel makes no sense. Only Serbian actions are bad. No Albanian actions are bad. The only thing is for Serbia to endorse unilateral Albanian actions. Like the unilateral indepence declartion. Germany has no problems with unilateral Albanian actions. That is just a bizarre lie Merkel is telling. Serbia will never ever be a member of the EU. Never ever.
I see here to many Serbs pretend to care in what state Kosovas economy is when we all know that because of Serbia Kosovo is poor today but much much better then when it was in Yugoslavia. And as somebody mention here we see a big big success that we have nothing to do with Belgrade.
@ Roberto
Keep commenting because the truth hurts for some Serbs commenting here but there is nothing you can do, let them selfplease them.
I think after Merkel's remarks today, it is very very obvious that Germany is trying in every way possible to weaken and destroy Serbia. For those naive Serbs out there, (and there are many, many of you) who think that Germany is somehow our friend and trying to help us (even though they have never been our friend nor helped us in their entire history), I say get your head our of your backside and wake up.
Germany openly supports KLA terrorists and anyone else who is Serbia's enemy, while doing everything in their power to make Serbia smaller, weaker, and subservient like all our neighbours.
If Tadic was a real man, which he is not, he would have given Merkel a few choice words behind closed doors, and kicked her out of the country. Her support for Thaci's KLA terrorists and the attempted theft of sovereign Serbian land is disgusting. Germans have never brought anything good to Serbia, only death, despair and destruction - and they should be told they are not welcome on Serbian soil, to take their EU and shove it up their.....We need Kostunica back, badly!

You're like a broken record, but do not realize that WE DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK!! GET IT???!!!

A funny lot germans. They've just said that they want to double investment in Serbia which means they have chosen a Serbia that follows the law, and not a mafia protectorate that the withered old prune they call the Chancellor supports. How many foreign investments have failed in Pristina's territories? All Pristina's big projects have collapsed though rampant corruption. Kosovo can only get free money from the arabs!

there are serbs who think otherwise -- i've always tried to point that out (when allowed here, which is seldom). you see that, for one example at site Pescanik, which made the break and has moved on. it is NOT about ethnicity, it is about people who have a conscience, despite all odds.
yes, dissidents need to support one another. thanks again, and to all who have shown support and encouragement. i send that back to you all!

Then the week after half of Serbia would go hungry because EU stopped giving them aid. Please do not kid yourself into thinking Serbia can do as it pleases. It is a very small fish in a very big sea in which countries like Germany are the Sharks. Serbia depends on foreign aid to survive. Most of that foreign aid comes from the EU which in turn gets most of its money from economically powerful countries like Germany. You might live outside the country and talk that way but to people in Serbia who every day depend on money coming from abroad to survive having good relations with Germany and the EU is vital and souring those relations by offending visiting heads of state is simply not an option.
Tadic should do what Dodik did: call for a referendum, have a few choice words with leaders of the EU and US, call off the referendum (saying that in hindsight having those choice words made him realize that calling for it was a bad idea), act like nothing ever happened, ask Serbia and Russia for money and political cover to stave off bankruptcy and humiliation, and proclaim a political victory. Works every time and is sure to get him those crucial Serb nationalist hardliner votes he needs.
"Then the week after half of Serbia would go hungry because EU stopped giving them aid."
EU funds are long since allocated for Serbia and are not distributed or controlled by Germany. Just writing something of which you know absolutely nothing does not make it a fact. Another sad person who has no understanding of EU institutions or functions.
--He mentioned acts of ethnic Albanian violence targeting and expelling Serbs in 2004, which changed ethnic structure, and said Kosovo Albanian government's sending of police units to the north in July was meant to change the situation on the ground.--
but apparently, he forgot to mention that lovely gift from serbia in 1999, when nearly 1 million albanians were terrorized and deported, some 12,000 murdered, we still don't know how many raped, tortured, properties destoyed. we're still looking for over 1,000 albanian bodies, at least, and 100s of others. which are no longer bodies if you catch my drift.
Thanks, serbia!
for serbia, for tadic, here is the 90s: all sides did bad things, let's get over it. it doesn't quite work that way. belgrade will never again govern Kosova. i mean the whole of kosova. if the belgrade regime really thinks differently, they have some screws loose.
the evil that serbia perpetrated onto the balkans is yet to be dealt with. if left on their own, these crimes will NEVER be dealt with. serbia will simply continue to torment the people of kosova and bosnia, every day, in every way, with their rhetoric, with their policies, and thru their proxies.
the eu members, ethically lax as they may be, will never import all of that cr-p into the eu. they would be insane to, and one thing they are is pragmatic. so -- either belgrade learns to make peace with its neighbors, or is stuck on the not-so-lovely 90s. get it?
and "sending" their top mass murderers (thru bribery and various sundry pressures)to the Hague doesn't solve it all. not by a long shot. until they will deal honestly with their evil past, we will never see progress in the balkans.
The good news is that Merkel did not straightforwaard demand recognition of Kosovo for EU accession. A success of Serbian diplomacy. The bad news is that a European leader asks for the surroundings states of a "failed state" to normalize its relations with this artificial protectorate-rogue state. How is Germany going to do that, trade in drugs & organs too? Sending German generals enjoying themselves in Pristina with prostitutes forever?
Pointing at Croatia as a lighting example is a Gutspah. They did not deliver Gotovina(Spain arrested him). They did not execute Dayton agreements.Instead they celebrate ethnic cleansing= olluja. Can it be worse? Did Merkel forget that Kohls recognition of Croatia set the Balkan in fire? He only did that to thank the Croatians for their service in WO I & II and almost initiated WO III. Will Germans ever learn, or do they need Serbs to blame? As a Feigeblatt?
The only way to do that is for Serbia to recognize Kosovo. Kosovo dosen't accept anything less to normalize relations with Serbia.
If somebody dosent understand. Serbia has lost!!!
(Demi, 23 August 2011 10:11)
The only losers are the people living in Kosovo considering the mafia/governmental authorities there. No jobs, no investment, and even with 150 recognitions they will be forever excluded from the UN.
After meeting with Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor, Merkel said a press conference that she was going to Belgrade with the message that "Serbia should look at Croatia which has fulfilled all the conditions for EU membership".
Yeah, Croatia has done its duty, by inflicting yet another genocide against its Serbian population, and then not allowing returnees to come back. They hold nazi concerts in the centre of Zagreb and their government officials praise indicted war criminals as 'heroes'. They have real 'European Values'. What a joke. They actually have 'German Values' and this is why Merkel is so proud of them.
It seems that those albanian and croatian supporters that regularly bleat on b92 do so from bent, subservient knees to countries like Germany. Mere poodles if you will. Where would they be without their great sponsors and a point in history where their interests are briefly in alignment with the strategic interests of those powers? Serbia has stood up to Germany before and will do so again, unlike their neighbors.
After meeting with Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor, Merkel said a press conference that she was going to Belgrade with the message that "Serbia should look at Croatia which has fulfilled all the conditions for EU membership".
The latest census in Croatia seems to be showing a 3.5% Serbian minority down from 4.5% from the last and down from over 12% before joint criminal actions resulted in the largest Genocide since WW2. That's where Serbia is getting it wrong, seriously the West and the Eu has lost the plot.
"If somebody dosent understand. Serbia has lost!!!"
Demi
It doesn't look like it on the ground. Certainly not in the north of Kosovo. Your "kosova army" tried to take over the border but ended up running back to Pristina with their tails between their legs.
"Serbia should look at Croatia which has fulfilled all the conditions for EU membership".
Does one of those conditions include the expulsion of the minority population? Only Serbia and Republika Srpska are left with minorities while Croatia, Kosovo and muslim/croat federation have expelled theirs and are now being rewarded for it. Bringing in fascist Croatia into the EU is just another reason Serbia should not join.
LOL Geez roberto, won't you ever shut your trap? I mean you honestly think people take your claptrap seriously around here? Go take some more pictures of Albanian terrorists and make yourself useful, you simple-minded doofus :)

You are right about new roads being built in Kosovo but that is pretty much it. During Serbias rule serbs and albanains lived together. Now they are seperated and they don't trust eachother. Today albanians work for 5 euros per day, if they are lucky to have a job. The unemployment rate is 60 percent. You don't have white schengen and can't travel anywhere?
Even albanians are getting tired of the current situation:
"Young Kosovars Lose Patience with Foreign Helpers"
"Kosovo is the poorest country in Europe."

It's about what the EU wants and accepts. As everybody should have noted, the EU sets the conditions for the Pristina-Belgrade talks. Who cares what Kosovo wants?
Kick her out of the country asap and burn the EU application! It's been made very clear that they support their old Albanian and Croatian allies. Work on 'normalizing' relations with Russia and China instead.

Kosovo a Switzerland? The joke of the day! It's a matter of fact that Kosovo is the poorest region in Europe, together with Moldova. Don't see the villas of Thaci and other corrupt politicians or 'businessmen'(=mafia bosses) as a sign of wealth.
The link to this article posted below sums up the situation: Poor, corrupt politicians, manipulated elections, 'politicians' who only care for their (illegal) business and not for the state, no real independence, and so on. I just don't see a solution for these imminent problems pointed out by this so-called 'self-determination movement'.
So no Eu it is then. Hey-ho. Next! Anyway, if we let Kosovo go, there will always be something else. Maybe just a free trade agreement is possible. They can keep the euro. If this is how they treat people, screw em.
The only losers are the people living in Kosovo considering the mafia/governmental authorities there. No jobs, no investment, and even with 150 recognitions they will be forever excluded from the UN.
(Englebert, 23 August 2011 11:00)
We, people of Kosovo (excluding Serbs of north part) , do not think in that way. From your point of view you have right, but it was worst before. Life in Kosovo is three times better than it was during Serbian regime. You should ask Serbs who travel to Kosovo often what do they think. Large roads and highways, which are built, did not exist during Serbian regime in Kosovo. Economy was always broken in Kosovo. Some factories built in Kosovo worked for Beograd not for people of Kosovo. Albanians never enjoyed benefits of these factories, so this is why Albanians are happy with new life. When you say mafia/governmental authorities, this expression works for all Balkan countries. Are you sure Serbian government is better? Both governments in Beograd and Pristina do business with those mafia groups in north Mitrovica.
Please provide a link of that transcript. If you cannot do that then it is clearly something that you made up because you want something that is a fairy tail. However, if true I would say that Germany should for once and for all stop trying to intervening in Serbia's internal affairs. The have already done more than enough harm. Unfortunately Tadic lacks the courage to tell this publicly or in Frau Merkel's face. She is either ignorant or not very smart when she says those rhetoric statements to please her loyal puppets in Zagreb and Pristina and to try and piss of those stubborn Serbs.
and "sending" their top mass murderers (thru bribery and various sundry pressures)to the Hague doesn't solve it all. not by a long shot. until they will deal honestly with their evil past, we will never see progress in the balkans.

One of the decisive sentences of Chancelor Merkel, Tanjug didn't mentioned (guess why..).
Merkel clearly said that Serbia must stop meddling in the North of Kosovo and allow Pristina to take control over whole Kosovo. That was one of the pillars of her message. "No recognition yet, but steps to normalize the situation". Giving up the North is one.
So you Tanjug writlings. Next time you tell the half-truth, make sure that you are the only one who can hear the source, because your lies are getting very boring.
"I expect the EU's clear stance on this. We find it unacceptable for those who conduct violence to be awarded," said he.
Here you go Mr.Tadic.You answer your own questions.That is why Serbia that is the main factor of violence in the Belkans shouldn't be rewarded with the EU membership.Even if you ignore the wars of the nineties just three weeks ago you killed an Albanian cop and burned down the customs.So you are right.Violence shouldn't be rewarded.
One of the factors for success for Albanians in Kosova is having nothing to do with Belgrade and we have been very successful in that.
(The Count of Kosova, 23 August 2011 21:16)
Very true... As anyone who has ever been to Kosovo will tell you, at the very least, not having Serbian security forces in Kosovo is a big accomplishment for your people. Considering what Serbs forces (both regular and irregular) have done in the Balkans it is incredibly important to never again allow their presence amongst vulnerable unarmed civilian populations. Without security nothing can began to prosper. At least the average citizen of Kosovo both Albanian and Serb) can go to school without seeing Serbian paramilitary formations performing manuevers by the side of the road or fear being kidnapped off a school bus like many of the documented cases that occured in the Balkans during the war.
Like any start-up corporation which does not generate profits for years, the economy of Kosovo will improve and one day develop into a success story. Until that point is reached it is important for the people of Kosovo to keep security first in their minds and do what they can to improve their lives and educate their children. All good things will come in time.
