KFOR doesn't want to move freely without EULEX

KFOR this morning sent resupply convoys(by road) to Jarinje and Brnjak bases and after that announced it will not use free movement agreed with Serbs in north Kosovo. They probably sent enough supply for a month .More blackmail is to be expected I guess from "neutral" KFOR.

"However, we will not exercise the right because it does not apply to EULEX, for which we cannot check whether the full freedom of movement exists," he noted.
--
Did someone say NATO won the war? LOL!!! Why then are they asking Serbians to give EULEX freedom of movement?

Exactly where does it say EULEX must be given freedom of movement? They have generally stayed within the Albanian sections since arrival so it is best that they stay there. If they can guarantee not to transport Albanians to the administrative crossings then perhaps we can extend that freedom of movement.

So unless something was lost in translation, he's asking for a right to be given - not for a given right to be enforced. That's a good sign!

I understand that KFOR could not let the status quo continue. Glad noone has been hurt or that KFOR used live ammunition on defenceless civilians this time. No problem with freedom of movement for EULEX, just maintain a neutral status, in other words, no KPS at checkpoints. Unless KFOR is being instructed from Brussels to break 1244.

KFOR and EULEX want to go hand in hand skipping through fields of clover together under a warm sun, giggling like a couple of girls and dreaming of a Kosovo free of pesky serbs so they themselves can go home and tell their grand children one day how they heroically ethincly cleansed Kosovo of Serbs for european values so that the serbs could also join europe, the albanians incapable of respecting the rights of any other group except themselves.

"Did someone say NATO won the war?"

Dear Mr. Zoran,

This is a letter to let you know our progress in achieving our objectives regarding Serbia.
1. We successfully stripped Serbia of 15% of its territory to build the largest American base in the whole universe, Bondsteel.
2. We successfully demilitarized Serbia through pressure on its politicians. The Serbian army is now only a shadow of what it used to be.
3. We successfully transformed Serbian society to elect leaders that come in our countries to beg us to join our organizations. We are at the point where we tell them what to do and they pay us, through our lobbying firms, to convince us that what we tell them to do is correct and in their national interests.
4. We successfully implanted greed into Serbian society to make sure they will forever fight with each other, further weakening them.

Our goals for the future include completely enveloping Serbia with ties, regulations and duties so that its behavior and greed as a country, society and people becomes more stable, therefore more predictable and therefore profitable for us and none other than us. In practical terms, this means that Serbia will join NATO and the EU in the near future and embrace the principles of free movement, democracy, good neighbourly relations, etc etc etc.

Concluding, to answer your question, the war is still going on and Serbia, once a proud nation, has lost several battles and is reduced to putting logs on one lane of the streets in northern Kosovo. And that is good and that is how it is supposed to be.

Respectfully yours,
NATO

P.S. There is nothing you, Zoran, can do about it.
P.P.S. If you want to go to Kosovo, our suggestion is do not wait until January, it may be too late.

NATO, 28 October 2011 19:38)
Mate are you out of touch with reality of late October 2011. The Russians will never allow Serbia to join NATO and once NATO leaves Afghanistan its finished as the organization known by everyone today as it has been soundly DEFEATED. Who do you think is giving the Serbs support in Kosovo over this customs issue? Santa Clause?
Secondly, if you have been live in the US or a cave here is the latest – the EU are begging the BRIC countries to buy Euro bonds to save the EU otherwise Europe goes down the rabbit hole. Russia and China will squeeze so many concessions from the EU it’s going to make their eyes water.
Read this very carefully and give it some thought so next time you will post something of interest.

Just look at this Erhard Drews - brave general is fighting so hard for the right of criminals on Prishtina... Is he proud of himself or he doesn't understand what his real role is...

“NATO”,

It was refreshing that you confirmed the suspicions many visitors of this site had and have and which were always described as “conspiracy theory syndrome”. You clear awareness of your Machiavelli-style behavior shows at least some self-reflection, but the sense of pride of being evil puts you into the psychopath category. Albanians in Kosovo are still under the impression that you liberated them from the Serbs and you have been very successful in making them believe that “Kosova” is a real country. Between you and me, we know that it is nothing more than an occupied NATO colony. As far as the Serbian army is concerned you seem to have forgotten that Serbia can still defend itself by guerilla warfare and we have seen how unsuccessful you have been against that in Afghanistan. You elected puppets will all be replaced after the next election and the new patriotic government will spare Serbia the total downfall by abandoning the EU path and by strengthening ties with Russia and other BRICS countries. You see, NATO has become an obsolete organization and its only goal is to maintain and create conflict to keep the US military industry alive. You future defeat in Afghanistan will be like a knee shot: you are still alive and you can still walk, but it will never be the same and others will try to shoot your other knee after which life gets really hard. Then one day somebody big or small will give you the final blow: a shot in the neck. The Serbian people will see in time that the greed, that is universal and you give yourself way too much credit by claiming that you planted that seed into Serbian hearts and minds, will lead to nowhere. I cannot imagine that Serbia will ever join your organization and send its sons to fight your imperialistic wars. I recommend that you start fighting against opponents of similar strength and then you will find out that most of your so-called strength is based on false confidence. Maybe individuals like Zoran cannot do anything about a big monster like NATO, but many Zorans and others can. Your sense of invincibility is a sign of decline followed by a certain downfall. You have lived beyond your means and even though you can make some money on the site by teaming up with criminals and the mafia eventually you greed for more and more advanced toys to terrorize parts of the world will catch up with you. I look forward to the day when your leaders will face a war crime tribunal and when your dirty laundry will be exposed. Then in the future you will be nothing but a bad memory.

Mr. Drews! No Kosovo albanian custom and police in the two crossings. PERIOD.

KFOR takes order from the UNSC, and the UNSC has tasked KFOR to make sure that UNMIK regulations are implemented because UNMIK regulations are the law as provided by resolution 1244. Since UNMIK regulations say that customs taxes have to be collected in Kosovo, customs taxes will be collected. Not sure where you see in all of this the "break of 1244". 1244 is in force and is the law in Kosovo.
(icj1, 29 October 2011 04:46)

icj,
KFOR/NATO doesn't care about 1244 or anything else, NATO attacked Serbia WITHOUT any UN approval. Agreement about custom zone was signed (if it really was) under gun point.

Albanian custom officers are sent to implement trade embargo. Only independent country has right to impose embargo, so supporting Prishtina's embargo on Serbian goods by EULEX is pure breaking of EULEX neurtal status.

Unless KFOR is being instructed from Brussels to break 1244.

NATO will soon leave Afghanistan for sure since Bin-laden is resting in peace at the bottom of the ocean. Rest assured about that. NATO has no intention of forcing Afghans to live a better life; NATO just wanted to give them the opportunity. If they want to continue killing each-other or go back under the Talibans and like that style of life, they will be free to do so.

Assuming what you are saying is correct (and, I'm sure it does because the accuracy of your news sources like your Malaysian friend is impressive), China will ask for an appropriate interest rate to match the risk, as every sensible investor will do. If China asks an interest rate higher than in the capital markets, than the bonds will be easily sold in the capital markets. No government in the world can go against the markets, my friend.
