Agreement on customs stamps “important to ordinary citizens”

The same Custom stamps have been in use since 2008, when Koosva declared its Independence. With this move, Serbia is recognizing Kosova, because I don't know of any province within a country that has its own custom stamps.

I could go on to say that by removing the word "Republic" from the stamp, Kosovo is acknowledging it's status as a province of Serbia. Would that also be true? You can read this act however you want but the fact remains that Serbia doesn't recognize Kosovo's UDI.

US of A is not a country, since the A is not on US Custom stamp,right?
Again, word republic was not there, so you cannot remove something that wasn't there to beging.
My question to you or anybody else, is: What ever happened to UNMIK-Kosova,EULEX-Kosova,Pec,Pristina, etc... stamp that your Borko was lying to you all!?

Where do you read "Republic" on the stamp? http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/9660/79557433.jpg (Thanks Gustave for providing the link)

Not true Kosovo-Usuk. Look up Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department in Google. Hong Kong belongs to China but has it's own Customs Service.

Well, if the stamps are named Costume of Kosovo than do not forget that the products that will be exported to Serbia or through Serbia are from Kosova. For example, Vipa Chips, produced in Prizeren, Kosova. which is actually the same. this is one of the first steps that serbia is taking to accept Kosovo.

There was no word Republic to begin with. Before DOI there was UNMIK Customs stamp. After DOI this stamp got changed to KOSOVO CUSTOMS which still remains. Do you see? There was no word Republic for customs to be removed. The current customs stamp was not acceptable to Serbia until September second. However, if you are so sure that by lacking word Republic this means Kosovo is Serbia, would you be so kind to tell us what customs stamp Vojvodina has?

Pristina has some bigger problems anyway, like where are the bodies with the missing organs that were kidnapped by the KLA, under the leadership of the Snake?

And why exactly is the (alleged, but not proven) activity that you describe a problem for Pristina ? Even if it's proven, it will be a problem for a snake. A snake's problem, is not Pristina's problem, the same as, say, an insect's problem is not Belgrade's problem.

Hey, why are you so proud of all this bad things you say. I live in Prishitna, and i see Serbia as a free country, which is not my country/state. How would it feel like for you one day someone comes to your house and tells you to get out. Just because you are a serb and someone(albanians) wants you out of your house. Dude, you screw everything 10 years ago. My parent were kicked out of their jobs just because they were albanians. Guess what? I had nothing to eat. I was kicked out of my house just because Milosevic didnt want any kosovar albanians in kosovo.
you open your eyes and realize that my contry is my contry and your country is your country. when you realize that you can start thinking what can we do to improve our relationships as neighbors and increase our life quality.

Cheers. :D

Dude, you should visit Prishtina before you say that. I mean, hello you are telling me what kind of problems Prishtina has ?
what i can say is that Belgrade really has bigger problems rather than Kosovo and I can tell that every time I visit Serbia. but the thing is that while your politician are trying to work on 'kosovo issue' you country is failing in other issues (economic crises for example). Your politician are keeping their position 'fighting' for a lost cause. You will be convinced when this government losses the election next year.
I also read another comment of your that my government its lying me that I have a state. Man it would be better for you if you stop lying yourself.

Don't worry, Linda, no one in Serbia will buy VipsChips. What the hell is that crap anyway? Bottom line here is, products going from Kosovo to Serbia, and vice versa will now move freely. That is what is important. Serbia is certainly not recognizing an independent Albanian Kosovo with the acceptance of Kosovo stamps that do not mention Kosovo as a republic or with statehood symbols. If anyone wants to labor his brain, and think that they did, I won't spoil your party. You can make it anything you want to. Pristina has some bigger problems anyway, like where are the bodies with the missing organs that were kidnapped by the KLA, under the leadership of the Snake?

Bottom line here is, the EU has had it with the Balkans. They have thrown away so much money, money they do not have anymore, at Kosovo, that they would just like it to go away now. With all the sovereign debt that major EU member states are experiencing right now, and Germany having to save most of them, how important do you thing Kosovo's custom stamps are to the EU? If Berlin could, they would love to hit the delete button, and have the entire Balkans disappear. So keep on quarreling about your silly stamps, Pristina and Belgrade, until the EU actually does come up with that delete button.

May I ask the Albanians,why was Thaci saying yesterday that Serbia would accept a customs stamp that said "Customs of the Republic of Kosovo"? The next day Albanians accept a stamp that only says Kosovo customs without any reference to statehood on the stamp or on the accompanying documentation. And btw the administrative crossings are still recognized as such, and not as an international border crossing. Jokes on you Albanians! You gave up a major part of your so called "sovereignty" today. Serbia is unofficialy implemeting a plan for Kosovo that will allow it to keep its legitimate interests in the province. Serbia is moving all of its goods freely through Kosovo now, Serbia controls 20% of Kosovo (Serbian enclaves north and south of the Ibar), Serbia does not allow Kosovo to join any internation organizations, Kosovo rules its self but is unable to present itself as a country on the international stage. This kind of sounds like the Hong Kong model Serbia proposed during the status talks in which Albanians could rule themselves as much as they wan short of becoming a country. This is exactly what I am seeing. The Albanians completely rule themselves but are not a legitimate sovereign country and will never be as long as Serbia remains opposed.

Of course Serbia accepts Kosovo - just not independent Kosovo, and that's why there are no state symbols on the custom stamps.

"And why exactly is the (alleged, but not proven) activity that you describe a problem for Pristina ? Even if it's proven, it will be a problem for a snake. A snake's problem, is not Pristina's problem..."

It would be even positive for Kosovo itself and its reputation around the world if persons like Thaci, Haradinaj and some more would be removed from politics and sent to prison. Then Kosovo had the chance to get a government made or persons with clean hands (though, the Kosovo population might waste this chance again, like they did during the last socalled 'elections')
