dear bloody mary, it seems obvious that you are not capable of realizing what the essence of my comment was and still is. but that´s no big deal, your attempt to write something in response has been successful, if it was only that what you had intended.

otherwise I would say you missed to understand what is obvious, ...and instead of using your brains, you have tried to draw some connections between Gazprom and Serbia ( a business-deal that most of you here cannot grasp when it comes to long-term implications ) but I was speaking about Germany making a further step towards Russia. you don´t agree with that? I am pretty fine with that! but please, do not make yourself a fool with comments like that! if you have something to say, then just say it, but if not, better stay quiet!

I hope this was not confusing, too. =)

I wonder what would serbs think of croatia if, croats, in the 90s, seized control of the JNA and started founding croatian republics in bosnia, vojvodina and montenegro. Ok, ok, we all know , jesonovac, nazi ally, ww2, etc but , what happened in the 90s was 15-20 years ago, and people still have memories...

Lenard there are no votes for the Democratic Party from Radical supporters. All scientific analysis (and unscientific, ask any radical if they would think of voting for Tadic) shows this.

Quite the opposite is true, as you know well Tadic has been trying to gain votes for looking like a regional statesman alongside Josipovic. Josipovic is doing something similar. Both men get a chance to impress internationals at least.

The Serbian government may not have much to show for what they have done in power. In fact 2 out of 5 might even be generous, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no benefit to them to issue nationalist statements with regard to Croatia.

However, there is benefit to a Croatian nationalist party with an even more nationalistic past - HDZ. They can pick up votes from 'patriotic' voters since they are part of that block to begin with.

1. Lenard that would be a fine theory except firstly there won't be an election in Serbia for at least 6 months.
Second there aren't many votes in Serbia for arguing with Croats.
Third there are even fewer votes for the current Serbian government in arguing with the Croatian government.

You are right that this HDZ nationalistic tone is due to Croatian elections though. What is sad is the way that this is dragging down Serbia as well.
(bganon, 28 August 2011 12:22)
The Serbian government coalition has to look nationalistic to get votes from Radical supporters and others too they have not much to show for their years in power.

well, Serbia is too important for german investors in south-eastern europe in order to let others plant their economic plants there. so, don´t you worry about Serbia, my dear! (...)after making the decision to shut down atomic energy in Germany, a rather important german energy-corporation named RWE has made a deal with Russia´s Gazprom, and I do not believe this will be the last one. that means, there are some thing shifting, Russia is being seen as a future partner in a for Germany important sector, and this won´t go without reciprocity, one way or the other.
(Jovan, 27 August 2011 19:51)

What a confusing comment: Are you implying that Serbia is Gazprom's protectorate? Are you implying Serbia is Russia?
Regarding the reciprocity between Russia and Germany: That is a simple one; Russia delivers the gas through the Nord Stream pipeline directly to Germany and Germany pays Russia in Euros. (RWE and Gazprom are planning to build gas-fired power plants in Germany as a possible next step but still the same deal: gas delivery in exchange for money). But I still don't see what Serbia has to do with that except for that by giving away NIS to Russia, Serbia has lost its last bargaining chip. Russia/Gazprom got all it wanted from Serbia. Why should it care for you now?

I am surprised myself,2 see a lovely,tender,caring,friendly.........creature,like a WOMAN,NOT being able 2 get over,and forgive serbs for what they did.
However,it might be the case that u serbs have committed some TERRIBLE crimes in Croatia,but nobody ever told u nothing,which IRONICALLY makes u ''innoccent'',at least within your society.
Just saying,because,if this is the case,u don't have 2 be surprised.
And smth.,else.There is this guy called Stipe Mesic,if u remember Him.He use 2 have the same attitude towards serbs as well,nd i guess there is plenty of Croatian politicians who think and feel the same about serbs.

Srebrenica was a HUGE Muslim army base but the military received orders to leave on the day before and they and the able-bodied men all gathered in a group of 15,000 to leave. It's all in the Dutch Srebrenica part - the men had separated themselves on orders of their Brigade commanders - who were taking orders from the Muslim commanders and government in Tuzla and Sarajevo and also the UN was ordering this as well - and went to the north of Srebrenica from which they departed in 3 shifts to walk to Muslim-held territory, such as Tuzla.
They had to trek through a lot of Serbian territory and you can bet when Serbs noticed all these Muslim men walking through the wooded areas there were some fights.
But those dead were military and not anything like the media and international community pushed hype.
Meanwhile the women and children were given bus rides by civilian Serbian bus drivers and these buses were escorted by the UN to Tuzla.

Scores of Serbian villages all around Srebrenica had been destroyed in a Muslim scorched-earth police starting in 1992. When Serbs organized enough to push Muslims back (the Muslims had been expanding and expanding their radius of attacks) in Spring 1993, the UN stepped in to protect the ARMY there.

The army was so large and had defenses all around Srebrenica - until the day they were ordered off them by their own brigade commanders.

The ONLY reason Srebrenica "fell" is that the Muslim command and government wanted it to - it was to be swapped with Serbian-controlled areas in Sarajevo. And indeed the Muslims were awarded all these Serbian-controlled areas of Sarajevo at the end of the war.

It was a swap which has been spun into anti-Serb propaganda - full of lies - to justify NATO attacks on Serbs and theft of their land for their tool-people separatists in the former Yugoslavia.

Now with a special FTA with Russia and hopefully with China soon Eu companies might like to take advantage of getting out of over regulated EU bases come into Serbia to take advantage of these markets and vice versa. Instead Tadic gets his friends to anoint him as a nationalist so he can sure up the domestic vote, then all back to normal after the elections. That's Serbia's problem afraid to be bold and independent.

Ban imports and trade with Croatia, which is already in Croatia's favor when they see the net loss there and the net gain out of Kosovo let it hit the Croatian public in the pocket and Voila. Kosovo can pay more for it's imports and cost of living and Voila backfire again. Serbia can look to strengthen ties with countries having surplus budgets like Russia, China and get guidance how to run a successful economy. Tough in the beginning great in the end.

How come only Serbia have problems with it's neighbours?? And this outside it's own territory? I never heard about albanians or an croatians coming to Serbia and kill serbs...

And why stop at WW2?? 400 000 albanians expelled from south Serbia from such citys as Vranje and Nish to Turkey during the Balkan wars?? Thousand killed during the time of Rankovic?? Not to mention the brutal aggression on albanians during the 90's??


And about your freedom, serbs in Kosovo have freedom. The vice PM of Kosovo is Slobodan Petrovic a serb for God sake!! So freedom is not the problem...


To end this endless fighting beteween all balkan countrys against Serbia we have to let borders as they are now and start thinking about other things. If you want North Kosovo and Republica srpska you will have to give up Preshevo valley and Sandzak. One for one that's it. It would be better to move towards EU and stop this nonsens. Kosovo, Croatia and Bosnia will never be Serbian so leave it alone.

why are the croatians cryi about facts and when is all the Serbs going back home to their ancient lands of krajina since that is Serbian lands and new news has formed that operation storm was nothing and it was the world that stopped the war in croatia and told the serb fighters to leave and not the croats it was leaked on the news by america and other NATO nations that have stated that but we all know it was the croatian army at all and here is the links to what really happened in the war and all operation storm was they came in after the Serbs were told top leave and then the croats looted the area and did wrongful things to old and defenseless people so actually operation storm was in reality nothing and they are celebrating what the world did and not them.

Why stop there. What about Jasenovac? 700.000 Serbs killed. Ring a bell? Not to mention the 250.00 Serbs expelled from Croatia. What about the mass expulsion of Serbs from Kosovo during WW2 and the ethnic clensing by albanians of Kosovo Serbs since '99? If Croatia can become a state after its bloody history then independence for Republika Srpska is a sure thing. Who made you a decider for who gets independence and who doesn't. No one, and I mean no one, can stop Serbs from gaining freedom, in both Kosovo and Bosnia. Sooner or later it will happen. Mark my words.

Croatian premiers visiting Kosovo to show support is the least Croatia can do in turn for the precious contribution of albanians during indipendence war of croatia, all of the albanians recruited by JNA deserted their ranks, and most of them chose to fight side by side with croats against jugoslavian forces, two of the most succesfull commanders were albanian, agim ceku contributed in the operation storm and so on...calling us old friends is true as well, our ties go as far as before ww2, many croatian intelectuals contributed to the albanology studies, many croats were executed by the black hand and serb secret agents for this reason between two world war period...croats are our favourite slavs :)

Actually it would be more constructive if Serbia and Croatia developed more friendly relations. The support for Kosovo "independence" by some fractions in Croatian government is pure provocation against Serbia. Come on, what good does recognition of a mafia statelet bring? You should instead focus energy on good relations with Serbia. Seriously, that is the best way to bring regional stability and prosperity for all sides (except albanian side, but they already have one state and they neither need nor deserve another one on the Balkan peninsula).

@JohnC: no matter how hard you may wish, but the RS is neither built of fascism nor is it undemocratic. you are possibly mixing it up with the croatian NDH-vassal-state during WW II, the reasons for that are very likely bound to your own person.

Germany hast just recently taken a step that no one of all those k-albanian chestbeaters in here didn´t realize, OR didn´t wish to face:

after making the decision to shut down atomic energy in Germany, a rather important german energy-corporation named RWE has made a deal with Russia´s Gazprom, and I do not believe this will be the last one.

that means, there are some thing shifting, Russia is being seen as a future partner in a for Germany important sector, and this won´t go without reciprocity, one way or the other.

you may dream of a future for your stillborn freak-creation "kosovaaah", but actually things are not going that well for you. you are free to deny it, but sooner or later you will get to feel what that little difference means for you and your future in southern Serbia.

it´s really interesting how some of our dear friends in here, it seems, are so desperate, that they are immediately starting to breathe fire and brimstone as soon as they see an opportunity to do so!

@JohnC: no matter how hard you may wish, but the RS is neither built of fascism nor is it undemocratic. you are possibly mixing it up with the croatian NDH-vassal-state during WW II, the reasons for that are very likely bound to your own person.

well, Serbia is too important for german investors in south-eastern europe in order to let others plant their economic plants there. so, don´t you worry about Serbia, my dear!

Germany hast just recently taken a step that no one of all those k-albanian chestbeaters in here didn´t realize, OR didn´t wish to face:

after making the decision to shut down atomic energy in Germany, a rather important german energy-corporation named RWE has made a deal with Russia´s Gazprom, and I do not believe this will be the last one.

that means, there are some thing shifting, Russia is being seen as a future partner in a for Germany important sector, and this won´t go without reciprocity, one way or the other.

you may dream of a future for your stillborn freak-creation "kosovaaah", but actually things are not going that well for you. you are free to deny it, but sooner or later you will get to feel what that little difference means for you and your future in southern Serbia.

Srebrenica was a HUGE Muslim army base but the military received orders to leave on the day before and they and the able-bodied men all gathered in a group of 15,000 to leave. It's all in the Dutch Srebrenica part - the men had separated themselves on orders of their Brigade commanders - who were taking orders from the Muslim commanders and government in Tuzla and Sarajevo and also the UN was ordering this as well - and went to the north of Srebrenica from which they departed in 3 shifts to walk to Muslim-held territory, such as Tuzla.
They had to trek through a lot of Serbian territory and you can bet when Serbs noticed all these Muslim men walking through the wooded areas there were some fights.
But those dead were military and not anything like the media and international community pushed hype.
Meanwhile the women and children were given bus rides by civilian Serbian bus drivers and these buses were escorted by the UN to Tuzla.

Scores of Serbian villages all around Srebrenica had been destroyed in a Muslim scorched-earth police starting in 1992. When Serbs organized enough to push Muslims back (the Muslims had been expanding and expanding their radius of attacks) in Spring 1993, the UN stepped in to protect the ARMY there.

The army was so large and had defenses all around Srebrenica - until the day they were ordered off them by their own brigade commanders.

The ONLY reason Srebrenica "fell" is that the Muslim command and government wanted it to - it was to be swapped with Serbian-controlled areas in Sarajevo. And indeed the Muslims were awarded all these Serbian-controlled areas of Sarajevo at the end of the war.

It was a swap which has been spun into anti-Serb propaganda - full of lies - to justify NATO attacks on Serbs and theft of their land for their tool-people separatists in the former Yugoslavia.

What a confusing comment: Are you implying that Serbia is Gazprom's protectorate? Are you implying Serbia is Russia?
Regarding the reciprocity between Russia and Germany: That is a simple one; Russia delivers the gas through the Nord Stream pipeline directly to Germany and Germany pays Russia in Euros. (RWE and Gazprom are planning to build gas-fired power plants in Germany as a possible next step but still the same deal: gas delivery in exchange for money). But I still don't see what Serbia has to do with that except for that by giving away NIS to Russia, Serbia has lost its last bargaining chip. Russia/Gazprom got all it wanted from Serbia. Why should it care for you now?

And about your freedom, serbs in Kosovo have freedom. The vice PM of Kosovo is Slobodan Petrovic a serb for God sake!! So freedom is not the problem...


To end this endless fighting beteween all balkan countrys against Serbia we have to let borders as they are now and start thinking about other things. If you want North Kosovo and Republica srpska you will have to give up Preshevo valley and Sandzak. One for one that's it. It would be better to move towards EU and stop this nonsens.

Ban imports and trade with Croatia, which is already in Croatia's favor when they see the net loss there and the net gain out of Kosovo let it hit the Croatian public in the pocket and Voila. Kosovo can pay more for it's imports and cost of living and Voila backfire again. Serbia can look to strengthen ties with countries having surplus budgets like Russia, China and get guidance how to run a successful economy. Tough in the beginning great in the end.

Lenard that would be a fine theory except firstly there won't be an election in Serbia for at least 6 months.
Second there aren't many votes in Serbia for arguing with Croats.
Third there are even fewer votes for the current Serbian government in arguing with the Croatian government.

You are right that this HDZ nationalistic tone is due to Croatian elections though. What is sad is the way that this is dragging down Serbia as well.

Lenard there are no votes for the Democratic Party from Radical supporters. All scientific analysis (and unscientific, ask any radical if they would think of voting for Tadic) shows this.

Quite the opposite is true, as you know well Tadic has been trying to gain votes for looking like a regional statesman alongside Josipovic. Josipovic is doing something similar. Both men get a chance to impress internationals at least.

The Serbian government may not have much to show for what they have done in power. In fact 2 out of 5 might even be generous, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no benefit to them to issue nationalist statements with regard to Croatia.

However, there is benefit to a Croatian nationalist party with an even more nationalistic past - HDZ. They can pick up votes from 'patriotic' voters since they are part of that block to begin with.

so truth and facts slowly come out about all of this.

Ban imports and trade with Croatia, which is already in Croatia's favor when they see the net loss there and the net gain out of Kosovo let it hit the Croatian public in the pocket and Voila. Kosovo can pay more for it's imports and cost of living and Voila backfire again. Serbia can look to strengthen ties with countries having surplus budgets like Russia, China and get guidance how to run a successful economy. Tough in the beginning great in the end.

1. Lenard that would be a fine theory except firstly there won't be an election in Serbia for at least 6 months.
Second there aren't many votes in Serbia for arguing with Croats.
Third there are even fewer votes for the current Serbian government in arguing with the Croatian government.

You are right that this HDZ nationalistic tone is due to Croatian elections though. What is sad is the way that this is dragging down Serbia as well.

The Serbian government coalition has to look nationalistic to get votes from Radical supporters and others too they have not much to show for their years in power.

Naturally I forgot the question of "what can China and Russia do".

Unlike having to recognise Kosovo to get indebted to the EU, better and cheaper rates can be found here on better political deals.

Now with a special FTA with Russia and hopefully with China soon Eu companies might like to take advantage of getting out of over regulated EU bases come into Serbia to take advantage of these markets and vice versa. Instead Tadic gets his friends to anoint him as a nationalist so he can sure up the domestic vote, then all back to normal after the elections. That's Serbia's problem afraid to be bold and independent.

I wonder what would serbs think of croatia if, croats, in the 90s, seized control of the JNA and started founding croatian republics in bosnia, vojvodina and montenegro. Ok, ok, we all know , jesonovac, nazi ally, ww2, etc but , what happened in the 90s was 15-20 years ago, and people still have memories...

Lenard there are no votes for the Democratic Party from Radical supporters. All scientific analysis (and unscientific, ask any radical if they would think of voting for Tadic) shows this.

Quite the opposite is true, as you know well Tadic has been trying to gain votes for looking like a regional statesman alongside Josipovic. Josipovic is doing something similar. Both men get a chance to impress internationals at least.

The Serbian government may not have much to show for what they have done in power. In fact 2 out of 5 might even be generous, but that doesn't change the fact that there is no benefit to them to issue nationalist statements with regard to Croatia.

However, there is benefit to a Croatian nationalist party with an even more nationalistic past - HDZ. They can pick up votes from 'patriotic' voters since they are part of that block to begin with.

dear bloody mary, it seems obvious that you are not capable of realizing what the essence of my comment was and still is. but that´s no big deal, your attempt to write something in response has been successful, if it was only that what you had intended.

otherwise I would say you missed to understand what is obvious, ...and instead of using your brains, you have tried to draw some connections between Gazprom and Serbia ( a business-deal that most of you here cannot grasp when it comes to long-term implications ) but I was speaking about Germany making a further step towards Russia. you don´t agree with that? I am pretty fine with that! but please, do not make yourself a fool with comments like that! if you have something to say, then just say it, but if not, better stay quiet!

I hope this was not confusing, too. =)
