Belgrade Board of Tourism,

Old Tom in Lazybrook has been around for a long time visiting numerous web sites. He appeared on B92 because the gay pride parade was canceled in Belgrade. As examples...

Ok..So Cuba’s Gays got a march today. But Cuba is still so anti-Gay that there isn’t ONE SINGLE GAY BAR on the entire island

And if you don’t speak to this, I don’t want to hear you whining because you don’t get called for comment on Gay issues. Because you were silent on a major Gay news story.

It won't happen if Albanians are allowed continually get away with murder and crimes against Serbs. If their fire departments (staffed by Albanians) won't come to put out fires on Serb property (most from arson attacks by Albanians), if police, ambulance crews, and so on aren't responsive when they find it's ethnic Serbs in trouble.

The north is not part of Kosovo institutions in any way, so you are wrong. All institutions there are Serbian, and they have nothing to do with Pristina.
(Englebert, 9 October 2011 12:46)

I did not say that north is part of Kosovo institutions, so I can’t be wrong about that :). Where did you see that? Nobody is asking North Kosovo to be part of Kosovo institutions, in accordance with Kosovo’s Constitution which have given the right to N. Kosovo Serbs to have their own institutions to govern their own affairs. Nobody can change that because Kosovo Serbs have a veto right to changes to Kosovo’s Constitution.

However, North Kosovo is part of Kosovo because the majority of N. Kosovo citizens has not declared any independence from Kosovo.



As for cutting off Serbs from Serbia proper, you all miss the point. The Serbs are not cut off because they have a plethora of alternative routes.
(Englebert, 9 October 2011 12:46)

Which none of those works, and even if it did, why should the N. Kosovo Serbs be inconvenienced to use secondary roads to reach Serbia ? I don’t understand why Serbs are trying to make it hard for N. Kosovo Serbs to be connected with Serbia ?!



The blockades only affect the two gates which render Kosovo Customs to be completely unused and ineffective.
(Englebert, 9 October 2011 12:46)

That’s fine for Kosovo since all goods are then routed to the other border posts which have Kosovo Customs :) If you are fine with that, too, then everybody is happy and no need to argue.

Correct, and some people even see whole Kosovo being part of Serbia. Maybe some self-proclaimed Serbian government in the North should publish an UDI, if you think that this is important?

That's a good idea so that finally we can say that Thaci is trying to take over North ;)

The daily threats of a forcfull takeover of the north by Thaci and others is proof of what kind of treatment Serbs can expect. Trust me when I say that northern Serbs will rather live like refugees in Serbia then in their own homes in Kosovo under albanian rule. The north can only be taken over by force, and that won't happen.

I'm glad that OSCE is calling for the protection of the Serbian Minority in Kosova. Its a real shame that Serbian nationalists violently attack minorities living in Belgrade and refuse to allow minorities freedom of protest, speech, assembly, association, expression, and petition.

Really, with all that money and international effort going to civilize these Albanians, we'd think this type of stuff wouldn't be anywhere near the multiethnic multidemocratic independent dreamland of Kosova where law and order abound. No wonder Thaci can't wait to remove the barricades up north. There's fresh cemeteries to descecrate and completely untouched Serb houses to rob!

This is what awaits Serbs in the north if they sucumb to Eu/us pressure to give up their rights in northern Kosovo. How can anyone suggest that there is more crime in the north then in the rest of Kosovo is beyond me.
The north is actually the only area in Kosovo that is funcioning normally. Serbs! Resist this madness with everything you've got.

This shame and disgrace will continue as long as as the big shots of the organized crime and masterminds of ethnic cleansing - Thaci, Ceku, Haradinaj, Limaj and Co. - control almost the entire province with the help of their ruthless gunmen. All the talking about certain criminals in the North, without doubt there are some as well, is launched only to distract attention from the major problem in the institutions in Pristina. As a matter of fact, this is well-known in the so-called international community. However, this self-appointed club bombed the organized crime into power, because it had to use the UCK as ground troops and later on as the only organisation with a province-wide structure to establish a post-war administration. The reasons are well-known as well: NATO countries did not want to see their soldiers returning in body bags, and the UN was not able to provide financial means and human resources for a protectorate. There were deceitful hopes the UCK gunmen would behave after the forced departure of Serbian armed forces, police and militias. At least there was the illusion the UCK big shots mentioned above would firstly put their gunmen on a chain and secondly listen to the demands of the self-appointed international community once they had changed their uniforms against Armani suits. For sure, the Western governments bearing responsibility for granting the UNMIK territory to the organized crime have meanwhile abandoned their hopes that they could control "the spirits they called up". Anyway, still they do not want to admit that it was them, a "coalition of the willing" of NATO, bombing a rogue regime into power. Let us see whether they will now help Thaci to extend his criminal regime to the North of the troubled province as well...

"In the last week alone four properties were reported looted, and the local Orthodox cemetery was set on fire. A further ten properties were burglarized and looted in August and September,” an OSCE release says."

Start your rants and pathetic denials....
This is lies and serbian propaganda.
Burning of a cemetery? Must be false just like using an Orthodox church as a toilet is a lie.
Marty is telling all of these lies. He is actually a closet follower of Milosevic.

The goal is to wipe out past, current and future Serb existence in Kosovo.

The truth is that there is something terribly wrong with people who would burn a cemetery ... the dead are defenseless.

"Such incidents create a feeling of insecurity and vulnerability among this small returnee community. Situations like Babljak have a negative impact on the overall returns process in Kosovo", Joseph stressed.

That's what it meant to be. Business as usual in the multiethnic, democratic state of Kosovo where 'minorities are better protected than everywhere on the world' (at least Thaci said so)

The reasons are well-known as well: NATO countries did not want to see their soldiers returning in body bags, and the UN was not able to provide financial means and human resources for a protectorate. There were deceitful hopes the UCK gunmen would behave after the forced departure of Serbian armed forces, police and militias. At least there was the illusion the UCK big shots mentioned above would firstly put their gunmen on a chain and secondly listen to the demands of the self-appointed international community once they had changed their uniforms against Armani suits. For sure, the Western governments bearing responsibility for granting the UNMIK territory to the organized crime have meanwhile abandoned their hopes that they could control "the spirits they called up". Anyway, still they do not want to admit that it was them, a "coalition of the willing" of NATO, bombing a rogue regime into power. Let us see whether they will now help Thaci to extend his criminal regime to the North of the troubled province as well...

Really, with all that money and international effort going to civilize these Albanians, we'd think this type of stuff wouldn't be anywhere near the multiethnic multidemocratic independent dreamland of Kosova where law and order abound. No wonder Thaci can't wait to remove the barricades up north. There's fresh cemeteries to descecrate and completely untouched Serb houses to rob!

"How can you set a Kosovo Albanian house on fire unless you do it for the purpose to get rid of some trash? Is this a crime? "

Now, think again...

"I think you got it wrong. Thaci and others said they are going to remove the barricades, not take over the North. The North is already part of Kosovo (it has not declared independence)."

Correct, and some people even see whole Kosovo being part of Serbia. Maybe some self-proclaimed Serbian government in the North should publish an UDI, if you think that this is important?

We have had a rash of burglaries in ours and adjoining neighborhoods over the last couple of months. While the police has stepped up action as the OSCE hassaid happened here, not a single international agency has been alarmed! And these are not even abandoned homes.

I think you got it wrong. Thaci and others said they are going to remove the barricades, not take over the North. The North is already part of Kosovo (it has not declared independence). What would "take over" mean especially considering that everybody agrees that N. Kosovo Serbs should be free to govern their own affairs ? The removal of barricades is in the interest of the N. Kosovo Serbs citizens of Kosovo so that they are not cutt off from Serbia. I don't understand why you want N. Kosovo Serbs to be cutt off from Serbia.
(icj1, 8 October 2011 23:54)

The north is not part of Kosovo institutions in any way, so you are wrong. All institutions there are Serbian, and they have nothing to do with Pristina.

As for cutting off Serbs from Serbia proper, you all miss the point. The Serbs are not cut off because they have a plethora of alternative routes. The blockades only affect the two gates which render Kosovo Customs to be completely unused and ineffective. Freedom of movement for Serbs is completely normal.

I'm glad OSCE is standing up for minority rights. Its a shame that Dacic and the Serbian nationalists aren't standing up for minority rights in Belgrade.

You obviously have never been to Belgrade.

It won't happen if Albanians are allowed continually get away with murder and crimes against Serbs. If their fire departments (staffed by Albanians) won't come to put out fires on Serb property (most from arson attacks by Albanians), if police, ambulance crews, and so on aren't responsive when they find it's ethnic Serbs in trouble.

Belgrade Board of Tourism,

Old Tom in Lazybrook has been around for a long time visiting numerous web sites. He appeared on B92 because the gay pride parade was canceled in Belgrade. As examples...

Ok..So Cuba’s Gays got a march today. But Cuba is still so anti-Gay that there isn’t ONE SINGLE GAY BAR on the entire island

And if you don’t speak to this, I don’t want to hear you whining because you don’t get called for comment on Gay issues. Because you were silent on a major Gay news story.
