"Independence aspirations are expressed via a declaration supported by the majority of the entity which has those aspirations, not by posts in online forums. There is no such a thing as independence aspirations of the majority of Scotland. So Boris can't ask about something that does not exist.
(icj1, 20 November 2011 14:33) "

Only a referendum can determine whether the Scots want independence -- which Edinburgh has the intentin to organize one soon.

However in your earlier post, you stated that Scotland had not done a UDI and Tadic should not ask about that UDI. My point to you was that I never said that the Scots did any UDI nor that Tadic should ask his hosts about that UDI.

"Well, N. Kosovo is part of Kosovo. So, if N. Kosovo does not want to be part of Kosovo, it has to declare that.

Note, we are not discussing here if Kosovo, N. Kosovo, etc, are part of Serbia, Balkans, Europe, or Earth. Let's assume they are. That does not change the fact that N. Kosovo is still part of Kosovo. N. Kosovo has been part of Kosovo even before 1999 and never declared any desire to not be part of Kosovo.
(icj1, 20 November 2011 14:40) "

I think you are wrong. N Kosovo would declare independence only from an entity that it accepts to be a state. Since the K-Serbs don't accept Kosovo's statehood, how can they declare independence from a state that doesn't exist for them?????? Show me examples of states declaring independence from non-states!

Tell me why they must declare independence from Kosovo because they don't want to be under Pristina. They see themselves as part of Serbia.

Moreover that sentence of mine must be taken in the context of my reply to that poster who talked about K-Albanian rights not to live as part of Serbia. I was asking him/her whether the same rights should be given to K-Serbs who don't wanna live as part of "Kosova". So far he/she has not replied.

Serbia is a recognised UN state while "Kosova" is not.
(Zoran, 17 November 2011 17:50)

My dear Zoran, UN is not empowered by the UN charter to recognize anything. So, neither Serbia, nor Kosovo or any other country are recognized or will ever be recognized by the UN (at, least, until the UN charter changes).
----------

Therefore, the Albanian "authorities" aka terrorists have no legitimate institutions.
(Zoran, 17 November 2011 17:50)

The Kosovo’s institutions are legitimated by Kosovo’s Constitution which is in accordance with Kosovo’s UDI, which is in accordance with International Law. But you are correct, if there are any Albanian terrorist authorities they are not legitimate institutions.
----------

Poor Tadic. I bet UNSCR1244 gets in his way a lot.
(Zoran, 17 November 2011 18:08)

Absolutely, because UNSCR 1244 removed Serbia’s control of Kosovo thus getting in the way of all Serbia’s presidents from Milosevic to now. Milosevic understood that very well and pleaded Russia, China and the others in the UNSC in 1999 to block UNSCR 1244 which would dismember Serbia.
----------

What if the Scottish people want to leave and take property/land which is questionable(at best) or just not theirs?
(aaayyy, 17 November 2011 18:56)

The courts will resolve that if there is any doubt, just like ICJ did for the Kosovo case. Don’t lose your sleep at night about that.

But it’s all too late as the Russians are not keen on settling this Kosovo issue. I watch in amusement as it al plays out, much like a cat and mouse game and its not in the interests of the idiotic west LOL

He came to London and talked about Kosovo’s “independence” which your government supported. So don’t you think it would have been a good idea for him to ask his hosts about Scotland’s independence? Far from being irrelevant, I think Tadic missed a golden opportunity here to call a spade a spade. And if this had caused some of the pro-Kosovo hypocrites in London to squirm – well, too bad!

You have read the famous Serbian version my friend. The Arabic, Chinese, English, French and Russian versions of UNSCR 1244 say that “an agreed number” of Serbian personal can return. As soon as the number is agreed :) they will return for sure.

“Why did Tadic come to London? To ask about Scotland? I would think not.

What does Tadic care about Scotland? It is of no concern for him or his government. He has got bigger things to worry about, his foreign policy is already occupied. Tadic was probably squirming and pleading for economic investment, help achieving EU candidate status on 9th December and trying to get the UK to neutralise Croatia over it's genocide lawsuit against Serbia. You see Tadic and Serbia are far too needy to go around trying to point score. You don't give a monkeys about what the Scottish want, you just want them to become independent as some sort of childish payback for the UK supporting Kosovo's independence. Regardless Westminster will respect the will of the Scottish people. The same applies to your comment about Greenland becoming independent. And lets say for arguments sake Scotland and Greenland do become independent, they'll just be other UN seats which recognises Kosovo.
(Ian, UK, 18 November 2011 18:04)”

Did I say that Tadic came to London to ask about Scotland? What I did state however that he SHOULD have asked about Scotland – and thereby show up the hypocrisy and double standards so shamelessly practised by Westminster. It was a different point that I raised and which you rushed headlong into misinterpreting. Whether he’s got “bigger things” to worry about was not the issue. Therefore if there was anyone misinterpreting posts by others, it is YOU!

I don’t think it is “childish payback” to support Scotland’s independence. It would be just desserts for England in my opinion when the Scots break free. To me they are no different from all those ex-colonies which got you guys booted out. But then again, that was not the issue of my original post and once more you got muddled up as expected.

Yes, Scotland and Greenland will likely win UN seats easily unlike poor, poor, poor Kosovo …… and I might add, England too – using the Yugoslavia precedent, England will probably have to reapply for UN entry as a new state again – and…… oopsy!!!!!! And lose its hallowed veto too!!!!! And no guarantee that it will overcome the Russian and Chinese who will wanna extract and arm and a leg – the “payback” that you talked about earlier -- all these delicious scenarios being irrelevant to my original posts of course, but since you insisted on mentioning UN entry – how could I not indulge you and your irrelevance once more?

Answer this question -- why did Tadic come to London? To ask about Yorkshire puddings? I would think not. So I can agree with you that your puddings are completely irrelevant.

He came to London and talked about Kosovo’s “independence” which your government supported. So don’t you think it would have been a good idea for him to ask his hosts about Scotland’s independence? So that at least some of the brighter, or at least less hypocritical, ones in your government might just begin the see glimpses of their own double standards with regards their open support for Pristina’s UDI on one hand and reluctance to do the same when their own territory up north is at stake.

Isn't this article about the UK (and its visitor Tadic)? And isn't Scotland still part of your UK? So how is Scotland entirely irrelevant to the articel? Also how is Kosovo, which was discussed in the article, all that different from Scotland when your government thinks nothing about dismembering another country (Serbia) and yet appeared loathed to lose its own territory, or more precisely I think, its North Sea oil, nuclear base, etc up north?

Did Tadic really visit the future Sir Cameron? Tadic does not qualifY for the title, I am afraid. I searched Web, I watched TV, I read English press, but could not see a mention of such a visit - Talk about Mr low-international profile Tadic.

Unfortunatelly, all what I was able to find in the international papers after Mr Tadic's visit to the UK is that the talk between so-called independent Kosovo "organs", and Mr Tadic's regime will continue immediatelly, and that the Serbian regime intends to implement all "agreements" although it is expected that the Serbs will resist such decision of Mr Tadic's regime.

Looks like that Mr Tadic regime's SALE of the Serbs to so-called independent Albanian criminal-run state in Kosovo is taking speed. This must be the biggest ever Christmas sale.

If the Serbs survive in Kosovo for next 50 years, then that will be only through their own local organizations, and despite Mr Tadic's regime efforts to sell them off. Good luck to all the Serbs in Kosovo, God be with you. Don't give up and Do not trust Mr Tadic.

But the Albanians claim that you, Serbs, come to the Balkans and occupied their ancient land. So whom we supposed to listen? Most international history scholars agree that they've settled in the Balkans long before you immigrated there. Most also agree that they are illyrians. Albanian language is unique adding more facts to their claim.

His way appears to me to be a thoughtful and diplomatically very effective method. Give the man some credit when it is deserved rather than always trying to find the negatives. I am not saying he is perfect but as a UK national living in Serbia, I like his style more and more each time I read about how he is acting.

LOL! Ian, your interpretation of UNSCR1244 is wrong. Albanians have had parallel institutions for decades while Serbians have the legitimate ones. Serbia is a recognised UN state while "Kosova" is not. UNMIK only had the authority to hand over control to the "Provisional Institutions of. Self-Government of Kosovo", however, as the ICJ had shown, those declaring independence were not part of those institutions. Therefore, the Albanian "authorities" aka terrorists have no legitimate institutions.

The West/NATO are just making things up as they go. Breaking the rules when they get in the way and using them when they are useful. That has been the case for some time Ian, otherwise they wouldn't be able to destroy and occupy some many countries as they have in the past decades. They are essentially enforcing their policies through force, not international law. It is time to take your head out of the sand Ian.

I am not saying he is perfect but as a UK national living in Serbia, I like his style more and more each time I read about how he is acting. He is a very effective diplomat, something that is needed when dealing with Western politicians.

Yes Ian, we all know parallel structures exist in KiM but they are Albanian and not Serbian. Those parallel structures have existed for decades. The difference is that Serbians have tolerated them. Albanians on the other hand can't seem to tolerate the legitimate structures in place for Serbians. As such, their greed will be their undoing. The score is being kept.

I'm pretty sure the institutions in Pristina were established by UNMIK per UNSCR 1244 and are thus the legitimate institutions in Kosovo. However the ones in the North have been unilaterally set up since February 2008 are being funded by Belgrade, with the official title "Assembly of the Community of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija" which is not in line with your ever so precious UNSCR 1244. This assembly aka parallel structure was established on 28 June 2008, therefore it cannot of "existed for decades" as you stated. I believe all of this to be fine, but you can't preach UNSCR 1244 one minute, then the next minute violate it yourself which is precisely what is happening in Northern Kosovo.

Also Pristina has stated several times before that is allowing and willing to give the north autonomy, which suggests to me it is tolerating the parallel structures in the north.

Also stating that Serbians have tolerated the institutions in Pristina is just a pathetic attempt of trying to dress up the fact that there is nothing Belgrade can do about the institution in Pristina, they're there and operating whether Belgrade likes it or not. And yes Pristina is the same when it comes to the parallel structures in the North, they're they and operating whether Pristina likes it or not.

Unfortunatelly, all what I was able to find in the international papers after Mr Tadic's visit to the UK is that the talk between so-called independent Kosovo "organs", and Mr Tadic's regime will continue immediatelly, and that the Serbian regime intends to implement all "agreements" although it is expected that the Serbs will resist such decision of Mr Tadic's regime.

Looks like that Mr Tadic regime's SALE of the Serbs to so-called independent Albanian criminal-run state in Kosovo is taking speed. This must be the biggest ever Christmas sale.

If the Serbs survive in Kosovo for next 50 years, then that will be only through their own local organizations, and despite Mr Tadic's regime efforts to sell them off. Good luck to all the Serbs in Kosovo, God be with you. Don't give up and Do not trust Mr Tadic.

B92's comment terms and conditions state "Please keep your messages... relevant to the news stories".

If you'd have actually read the article you'd understand that it isn't about the UK. Tadic who is visiting the UK has been talking to Cameron about EU integration, the future of Serbian politics, the situation of Kosovo Serbs/ northern Kosovo, Kumanovo Agreement, law and order/ Hague Tribunal, the partition of Kosovo, Serbia's relations with Croatia and other neighbours and a small bit about a future Olympic games taking place in the Balkans.

Answer this question -- why did Tadic come to London? To ask about Yorkshire puddings? I would think not. So I can agree with you that your puddings are completely irrelevant.

He came to London and talked about Kosovo’s “independence” which your government supported. So don’t you think it would have been a good idea for him to ask his hosts about Scotland’s independence? So that at least some of the brighter, or at least less hypocritical, ones in your government might just begin the see glimpses of their own double standards with regards their open support for Pristina’s UDI on one hand and reluctance to do the same when their own territory up north is at stake.

Far from being irrelevant, I think Tadic missed a golden opportunity here to call a spade a spade. And if this had caused some of the pro-Kosovo hypocrites in London to squirm – well, too bad!

LOL! Ian, your interpretation of UNSCR1244 is wrong. Albanians have had parallel institutions for decades while Serbians have the legitimate ones. Serbia is a recognised UN state while "Kosova" is not. UNMIK only had the authority to hand over control to the "Provisional Institutions of. Self-Government of Kosovo", however, as the ICJ had shown, those declaring independence were not part of those institutions. Therefore, the Albanian "authorities" aka terrorists have no legitimate institutions.

The West/NATO are just making things up as they go. Breaking the rules when they get in the way and using them when they are useful. That has been the case for some time Ian, otherwise they wouldn't be able to destroy and occupy some many countries as they have in the past decades. They are essentially enforcing their policies through force, not international law. It is time to take your head out of the sand Ian.

Tadic was probably squirming and pleading for economic investment, help achieving EU candidate status on 9th December and trying to get the UK to neutralise Croatia over it's genocide lawsuit against Serbia. You see Tadic and Serbia are far too needy to go around trying to point score. You don't give a monkeys about what the Scottish want, you just want them to become independent as some sort of childish payback for the UK supporting Kosovo's independence. Regardless Westminster will respect the will of the Scottish people. The same applies to your comment about Greenland becoming independent. And lets say for arguments sake Scotland and Greenland do become independent, they'll just be other UN seats which recognises Kosovo.
(Ian, UK, 18 November 2011 18:04)”

Did I say that Tadic came to London to ask about Scotland? What I did state however that he SHOULD have asked about Scotland – and thereby show up the hypocrisy and double standards so shamelessly practised by Westminster. It was a different point that I raised and which you rushed headlong into misinterpreting. Whether he’s got “bigger things” to worry about was not the issue. Therefore if there was anyone misinterpreting posts by others, it is YOU!

I don’t think it is “childish payback” to support Scotland’s independence. It would be just desserts for England in my opinion when the Scots break free. To me they are no different from all those ex-colonies which got you guys booted out. But then again, that was not the issue of my original post and once more you got muddled up as expected.

Yes, Scotland and Greenland will likely win UN seats easily unlike poor, poor, poor Kosovo …… and I might add, England too – using the Yugoslavia precedent, England will probably have to reapply for UN entry as a new state again – and…… oopsy!!!!!! And lose its hallowed veto too!!!!! And no guarantee that it will overcome the Russian and Chinese who will wanna extract and arm and a leg – the “payback” that you talked about earlier -- all these delicious scenarios being irrelevant to my original posts of course, but since you insisted on mentioning UN entry – how could I not indulge you and your irrelevance once more?

As far as I know, most of the negative noises about Scottish independence came from London and not Edinburgh.

You are entitled to your opinion about me of course. Just as I am entitled to mine about you as the proverbial ostrich with its head stuck resolutely inside the sand. Just make sure you don't suffocate.

I'm not saying that you're not entitled to your own opinion because you are and I respect that even if I don't agree with your opinions. I'm saying that bringing up Scottish independence isn't related at all to the article. It'd be like me saying "Tadic should ask about Yorkshire Puddings", it has no relation to the article. B92's comment terms and conditions state "Please keep your messages... relevant to the news stories".

If you'd have actually read the article you'd understand that it isn't about the UK. Tadic who is visiting the UK has been talking to Cameron about EU integration, the future of Serbian politics, the situation of Kosovo Serbs/ northern Kosovo, Kumanovo Agreement, law and order/ Hague Tribunal, the partition of Kosovo, Serbia's relations with Croatia and other neighbours and a small bit about a future Olympic games taking place in the Balkans. The article itself is not about the UK, never mind the proposed Scottish independence.

(Zoran, 17 November 2011 12:40)

I'm pretty sure the institutions in Pristina were established by UNMIK per UNSCR 1244 and are thus the legitimate institutions in Kosovo. However the ones in the North have been unilaterally set up since February 2008 are being funded by Belgrade, with the official title "Assembly of the Community of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija" which is not in line with your ever so precious UNSCR 1244. This assembly aka parallel structure was established on 28 June 2008, therefore it cannot of "existed for decades" as you stated. I believe all of this to be fine, but you can't preach UNSCR 1244 one minute, then the next minute violate it yourself which is precisely what is happening in Northern Kosovo.

Also Pristina has stated several times before that is allowing and willing to give the north autonomy, which suggests to me it is tolerating the parallel structures in the north.

Also stating that Serbians have tolerated the institutions in Pristina is just a pathetic attempt of trying to dress up the fact that there is nothing Belgrade can do about the institution in Pristina, they're there and operating whether Belgrade likes it or not. And yes Pristina is the same when it comes to the parallel structures in the North, they're they and operating whether Pristina likes it or not.

Self-Government of Kosovo", however, as the ICJ had shown, those declaring independence were not part of those institutions. Therefore, the Albanian "authorities" aka terrorists have no legitimate institutions.

The West/NATO are just making things up as they go. Breaking the rules when they get in the way and using them when they are useful.

Unfortunatelly, all what I was able to find in the international papers after Mr Tadic's visit to the UK is that the talk between so-called independent Kosovo "organs", and Mr Tadic's regime will continue immediatelly, and that the Serbian regime intends to implement all "agreements" although it is expected that the Serbs will resist such decision of Mr Tadic's regime.

Looks like that Mr Tadic regime's SALE of the Serbs to so-called independent Albanian criminal-run state in Kosovo is taking speed. This must be the biggest ever Christmas sale.

If the Serbs survive in Kosovo for next 50 years, then that will be only through their own local organizations, and despite Mr Tadic's regime efforts to sell them off. Good luck to all the Serbs in Kosovo, God be with you. Don't give up and Do not trust Mr Tadic.

Also how is Kosovo, which was discussed in the article, all that different from Scotland when your government thinks nothing about dismembering another country (Serbia) and yet appeared loathed to lose its own territory, or more precisely I think, its North Sea oil, nuclear base, etc up north? As far as I know, most of the negative noises about Scottish independence came from London and not Edinburgh.

You are entitled to your opinion about me of course. Just as I am entitled to mine about you as the proverbial ostrich with its head stuck resolutely inside the sand. Just make sure you don't suffocate.

I'm not saying that you're not entitled to your own opinion because you are and I respect that even if I don't agree with your opinions. I'm saying that bringing up Scottish independence isn't related at all to the article. It'd be like me saying "Tadic should ask about Yorkshire Puddings", it has no relation to the article. B92's comment terms and conditions state "Please keep your messages... relevant to the news stories".

If you'd have actually read the article you'd understand that it isn't about the UK. Tadic who is visiting the UK has been talking to Cameron about EU integration, the future of Serbian politics, the situation of Kosovo Serbs/ northern Kosovo, Kumanovo Agreement, law and order/ Hague Tribunal, the partition of Kosovo, Serbia's relations with Croatia and other neighbours and a small bit about a future Olympic games taking place in the Balkans. The article itself is not about the UK, never mind the proposed Scottish independence.

Answer this question -- why did Tadic come to London? To ask about Yorkshire puddings? I would think not. So I can agree with you that your puddings are completely irrelevant.

He came to London and talked about Kosovo’s “independence” which your government supported. So don’t you think it would have been a good idea for him to ask his hosts about Scotland’s independence? So that at least some of the brighter, or at least less hypocritical, ones in your government might just begin the see glimpses of their own double standards with regards their open support for Pristina’s UDI on one hand and reluctance to do the same when their own territory up north is at stake.

Far from being irrelevant, I think Tadic missed a golden opportunity here to call a spade a spade. And if this had caused some of the pro-Kosovo hypocrites in London to squirm – well, too bad!

Guarantees from the west are worthless and he knows it, they can't even follow Resolution 1244 to the letter. They openly break international law whenever it suits them. Time to go Boris, go teach somewhere..maybe in KiM and see for yourself as average person what it is to be Serb over there. Shame on you.

Will you also deny that Tadic is at the very least presenting Serbia to an increasing audience in a very positive, fairminded and pragmatic way. His way appears to me to be a thoughtful and diplomatically very effective method. Give the man some credit when it is deserved rather than always trying to find the negatives. I am not saying he is perfect but as a UK national living in Serbia, I like his style more and more each time I read about how he is acting. He is a very effective diplomat, something that is needed when dealing with Western politicians.

You see Tadic and Serbia are far too needy to go around trying to point score. You don't give a monkeys about what the Scottish want, you just want them to become independent as some sort of childish payback for the UK supporting Kosovo's independence. Regardless Westminster will respect the will of the Scottish people. The same applies to your comment about Greenland becoming independent. And lets say for arguments sake Scotland and Greenland do become independent, they'll just be other UN seats which recognises Kosovo.

“Why did Tadic come to London? To ask about Scotland? I would think not.

What does Tadic care about Scotland? It is of no concern for him or his government. He has got bigger things to worry about, his foreign policy is already occupied. Tadic was probably squirming and pleading for economic investment, help achieving EU candidate status on 9th December and trying to get the UK to neutralise Croatia over it's genocide lawsuit against Serbia.

Did I say that Tadic came to London to ask about Scotland? What I did state however that he SHOULD have asked about Scotland – and thereby show up the hypocrisy and double standards so shamelessly practised by Westminster. It was a different point that I raised and which you rushed headlong into misinterpreting. Whether he’s got “bigger things” to worry about was not the issue. Therefore if there was anyone misinterpreting posts by others, it is YOU!

I don’t think it is “childish payback” to support Scotland’s independence. It would be just desserts for England in my opinion when the Scots break free. To me they are no different from all those ex-colonies which got you guys booted out. But then again, that was not the issue of my original post and once more you got muddled up as expected.

Yes, Scotland and Greenland will likely win UN seats easily unlike poor, poor, poor Kosovo …… and I might add, England too – using the Yugoslavia precedent, England will probably have to reapply for UN entry as a new state again – and…… oopsy!!!!!! And lose its hallowed veto too!!!!! And no guarantee that it will overcome the Russian and Chinese who will wanna extract and arm and a leg – the “payback” that you talked about earlier -- all these delicious scenarios being irrelevant to my original posts of course, but since you insisted on mentioning UN entry – how could I not indulge you and your irrelevance once more?

Serbia is a recognised UN state while "Kosova" is not.
(Zoran, 17 November 2011 17:50)

My dear Zoran, UN is not empowered by the UN charter to recognize anything. So, neither Serbia, nor Kosovo or any other country are recognized or will ever be recognized by the UN (at, least, until the UN charter changes).
----------

Therefore, the Albanian "authorities" aka terrorists have no legitimate institutions.
(Zoran, 17 November 2011 17:50)

The Kosovo’s institutions are legitimated by Kosovo’s Constitution which is in accordance with Kosovo’s UDI, which is in accordance with International Law. But you are correct, if there are any Albanian terrorist authorities they are not legitimate institutions.
----------

Poor Tadic. I bet UNSCR1244 gets in his way a lot.
(Zoran, 17 November 2011 18:08)

Absolutely, because UNSCR 1244 removed Serbia’s control of Kosovo thus getting in the way of all Serbia’s presidents from Milosevic to now. Milosevic understood that very well and pleaded Russia, China and the others in the UNSC in 1999 to block UNSCR 1244 which would dismember Serbia.

What if the Scottish people want to leave and take property/land which is questionable(at best) or just not theirs?
(aaayyy, 17 November 2011 18:56)

The courts will resolve that if there is any doubt, just like ICJ did for the Kosovo case. Don’t lose your sleep at night about that.

"Iowe, you said the President should have asked about the winds of change blowing through Scotland at the moment. True, but the difference here is that if the Scottish people eventually want to leave the UK then thats their decision and everyone will be sad but respect it. I just think sometimes that Serbs, just don't realise that Kosovo Albanians just don't want to live under Serb Sovereignity any more. Accept it and move on, Thats what the UK will do if Scotland decides to leave.

Oh, I see ...... so the Serbs should "realise that Kosovo Albanians just don't want to live under Serb Sovereignity any more." and that they should "Accept it and move on" ....... what about K-Serbs who don't wanna live under Pristina's "sovereignty"? (especially those in the north who are a big majority there). Try telling Thaci & Co. to, in your own words, "Accept it and move on"!

Note, we are not discussing here if Kosovo, N. Kosovo, etc, are part of Serbia, Balkans, Europe, or Earth. Let's assume they are. That does not change the fact that N. Kosovo is still part of Kosovo. N. Kosovo has been part of Kosovo even before 1999 and never declared any desire to not be part of Kosovo.

Only a referendum can determine whether the Scots want independence -- which Edinburgh has the intentin to organize one soon.

However in your earlier post, you stated that Scotland had not done a UDI and Tadic should not ask about that UDI. My point to you was that I never said that the Scots did any UDI nor that Tadic should ask his hosts about that UDI.
