Let me start with congratulating all the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija on their heroic and dignified struggle for freedom in face of overwhelming adversaries and gross injustices. Let us remind ourselves that all what the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija (i.e. Serbian Orthodox church’s land) struggle for is to remain in their country of birth, which happens to be Serbia. The only thing that the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija reject is the authority of bandits who run so-called Albanian self-proclaimed independent Kosovo.
What is the most remarkable about this Serbian struggle is that Albanians have killed over a thousand of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija already since 1999 under watch of NATO and not a single murderer has been convicted. Despite this, the Western governments, but in particular the US and the leading EU (read German + Austria) governments still try to portray the Serbs as criminals. Such an attitude by Germany is not a surprising – in fact Germany has consistently been anti-Serb (for example, Germany was the first to recognise independence of Slovenia and Croatia, the first to recognise so-called independent Albanian Kosovo ; if we go back to the history Germany committed genocide against Serbs in WWII, while Austria did the same in WWI).
On the other side Russians have been consistently on the Serb side, economically, politically and diplomatically, but it has been proven that it is not enough to prevent the extinction of the Serbs from many ex-Yugoslav republics (Croatia, Bosnia and so-called independent Albanian Kosovo).
That is why the Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija deserve a better government in Belgrade than the current treacherous government of Mr Boris Tack and his corrupt cronies. Unfortunately there is not much alternative other than Mr Kostunica who has so far managed to prevent Mr Tadic’s corrupt and hedonistic regime from outright sale of Kosovo Serbs.

Actually KSerbs don't want to move to Russia, they want Russian support in any possible way.
(aaayyy, 5 December 2011 13:47)

But they did want to move to Russia because 22.000 K. Serbs applied for Russian citizenship. That means that they want to reside to Russia and to waive Serbia and Kosovo’s citizenship as required by Russia citizenship law.
----------

I don't think KSerbs got disappointed very much that Russia didn't get them citizenship and didn't start WWIII because of them.
(aaayyy, 5 December 2011 13:47)

That’s good; nobody would be happy to see anybody disappointed. At least everybody is clear now where K. Serbs fall in Russia’s priorities !

BTW what is your point now about Kosovo recognitions? You keep changing your points every other day as your previouse ones are bitten (without admitting it of course)

My point is the same as always. Nothing has changed.

Serbian 'repatriation' to Russia is as stupid as the Albanains==Illyrians legend.
(Comm. Parrisson, 4 December 2011 16:26)

Hmm, in fact-it is NOT. Serbs came from Russia in 7 century and Albanians are descendants of Illyrians who lived always in Balkans. So, I know your'e trying to deny the origin of Albanians by foxy trying to show Serbs are authocones but you know you are wrong.

Once again, the Serbs are showing their merit. Tadic and Steponovic say that the agreement only allows "dysfunctional" Albanian observers at the borders. Serbs will remain in an official capacity along with EULEX. "Dysfunctional" role can only mean the Albanians will have absolutely no official capacity. No doubt it is more work that Albanian border workers will do at any of the Kosovo borders that are controlled by Albanians. And it should be remembered that no matter what the Serbs do in the North, at this point, Albanian border control at other Kosovo borders is not going to change. Without Serbian control of borders between Kosovo and Albania, Kosovo will never be in Serbian hands.

And now we see that Serbs in Northern Kosovo aren't going to buy this agreement until they review it themselves. And if they reject it, they will do so for good reason, just as they have been conducting themselves all along. Tadic and Steponovic will be exposed and be obliged to explain themselves. If it is good, they will make whatever accomodations they decide, including removing the barriers. They will remain in control of the situation just in case Pristina decides to leverage the changes against the agreement like they do other agreements now. We can see that Pristina is not to be trusted. The barriers can always go up again and they can make sure that they remain in a position to do so.

Either way, accept or reject the agreement, this is an achievement and a milestone.

Hold the barricades at least until december 9, after that everything will change. When mother Serbia gets a no for candidate status her hands will be untied. If the government still does nothing after that it is time for the people to act. Travel to north Kosovo and show support at the barricades, bring food and water. It is going to be a long winter.

Nobody is asking you Pantić. If you don't like it then prepare to move to Serbia, because very soon rule of law is going to prevail.
(Avni, 4 December 2011 17:33)
========================

How do you interpret the term "rule of law" in Albanian?
Does it even exist in Albanian dictionary?

Congratulations on rejecting this selling out of Kosovo to all K Serbs. I am so very sorry that government in Belgrade loves money more than they love their own people.
You have sacrificed so much already and I know you are very tired but if you can prevail just a little longer (long enough to boot these traitors out) you wait will be worthwhile.
I also hope that Serbs from Serbia proper will go to Kosovo to relieve these exhausted people so that they can take a break and recover a little.
Zoran you have said you will go. My sincere congratulations and admiration on your efforts.

You should be careful what you wish for "Count of Kosov(o)! The results of today's Russian elections will only put more pressure on Moscow in regards to Kosovo. You cannot find one genuine Serb who feels betrayed by Russia. Not one. Are you kidding me? You are the one who will have to worry about your indifferent bankrupt "allies" in Brussels and Washington!

And then the subsequent rejection was an unprecedented embarrassment and defeat to those who asked for it.

Serbs are so smart that continue to destroy their own arguments, for example;

- Serbia's main argument was that Kosovo's UDI was against international law. Then brilliant Vuk goes to the ICJ and destroys Serbia's main argument;

- Serbia's argument was that they had a strong support in the UNSG against Kosovo's independence. Then little Vuk goes to the UNSG and gets a resolution which acknoledges the ICJ's decision and does not call for any discussions about status;

- Serbs argument was that Russia is so interested about Kosovo. Them some brilliant 22.000 Serbs go and ask for Russia citizenship so that Russia can get a foothold in Kosovo and force Russia to explicitly deny them showing to everybody how much Russia cares about Kosovo.

Smart people make sure that the outcome of an initiative will be in their interest, otherwise they don't undertake the initiative at all. Serbs should have first received guarantees by Russia that their citizenship applications would have been approved, before making the move and forcing Russia to show to everybody how much it cares about Kosovo. If anybody cared about what Russia thinks about Kosovo, would now care even less.

The agreement calls for Serbian financial officers and police as per 1244. A financial officer gathers and analyzes data, does financial planning and record keeping and need data from customs which require Serbian customs on the border with Albania. The agreement doesnt mention revenue from Serbian checkpoints, means that Pristina is not making money on tarrifs at either. No other independent state works like this! But its in Serbs interest to confuse Albanians this way.

I think it is better to wait for the "original text" to be available before making an assumption. Any deals with the separatists in pristina and its EU backers should be "reviewed and ratified" by the Serbian parliament before calling it an agreement. Anyway the parliament is more credible than Tadic and Mr. Negotiator.

Exactly who is going to lend the EU the money and troops it does not have for a new war in Kosovo even if anyone was slightly interested? Not the Americans. Not the Russians. Not the Chinese. The new "agreement" is another ambiguous scrap of paper open to everyone's interpretation and unenforceable. If the Serbs say "no", then "no" remains the answer as it has been since July. The empty promise of imaginary membership in a dead EU fools only Tadic and the lowest quislings. Albanians need to stop begging Germans to fight their battles for them. Berlin is only pretending to be interested. On the other hand, when a new Serb government next year asks Moscow.....

Zubin Potok Mayor Slaviša Ristić has assessed that the Belgrade authorities have finally recognized Kosovo’s independence by accepting the agreement on the crossings.

You are damn right , in practice they do recognize Kosova, but in theory and saying it out loud not yet. I am glad you are so bright and understand the truth Mr. so called Mayor. I wonder what your next move will be, either pack and go back where you came from or stay where you are and obey Kosova Constitution&Laws.

- Serbia's main argument was that Kosovo's UDI was against international law. Then brilliant Vuk goes to the ICJ and destroys Serbia's main argument;

- Serbia's argument was that they had a strong support in the UNSG against Kosovo's independence. Then little Vuk goes to the UNSG and gets a resolution which acknoledges the ICJ's decision and does not call for any discussions about status;

- Serbs argument was that Russia is so interested about Kosovo. Them some brilliant 22.000 Serbs go and ask for Russia citizenship so that Russia can get a foothold in Kosovo and force Russia to explicitly deny them showing to everybody how much Russia cares about Kosovo.

Smart people make sure that the outcome of an initiative will be in their interest, otherwise they don't undertake the initiative at all. Serbs should have first received guarantees by Russia that their citizenship applications would have been approved, before making the move and forcing Russia to show to everybody how much it cares about Kosovo. If anybody cared about what Russia thinks about Kosovo, would now care even less.

Nobody is asking you Pantić. If you don't like it then prepare to move to Serbia, because very soon rule of law is going to prevail.

========================

How do you interpret the term "rule of law" in Albanian?
Does it even exist in Albanian dictionary?

Congratulations on rejecting this selling out of Kosovo to all K Serbs. I am so very sorry that government in Belgrade loves money more than they love their own people.
You have sacrificed so much already and I know you are very tired but if you can prevail just a little longer (long enough to boot these traitors out) you wait will be worthwhile.
I also hope that Serbs from Serbia proper will go to Kosovo to relieve these exhausted people so that they can take a break and recover a little.
Zoran you have said you will go. My sincere congratulations and admiration on your efforts.

You should be careful what you wish for "Count of Kosov(o)! The results of today's Russian elections will only put more pressure on Moscow in regards to Kosovo. You cannot find one genuine Serb who feels betrayed by Russia. Not one. Are you kidding me? You are the one who will have to worry about your indifferent bankrupt "allies" in Brussels and Washington! Do you really believe they're going to choose your parasite failed jihadist narco-pimp-state over Russian loans, gas, oil and Christianity? Answer:no.

I thought he was elected in an election. I mean an election, not those blatant mockeries and miracles Albanians organize where it's possible that 115% of the voters voted for Thaci :)

Hold the barricades at least until december 9, after that everything will change. When mother Serbia gets a no for candidate status her hands will be untied. If the government still does nothing after that it is time for the people to act. Travel to north Kosovo and show support at the barricades, bring food and water. It is going to be a long winter.

@The Count of Kosova

Do you understand on what you are reading?? THe Russian Ambassador's explanation is "clear" as it is against their constitution. that's why Serbs should not be sad about it and respect it. Serbia with Kosovo is their home. Russia and China are the solid friends of Serbia.

Once again, the Serbs are showing their merit. Tadic and Steponovic say that the agreement only allows "dysfunctional" Albanian observers at the borders. Serbs will remain in an official capacity along with EULEX. "Dysfunctional" role can only mean the Albanians will have absolutely no official capacity. No doubt it is more work that Albanian border workers will do at any of the Kosovo borders that are controlled by Albanians. And it should be remembered that no matter what the Serbs do in the North, at this point, Albanian border control at other Kosovo borders is not going to change. Without Serbian control of borders between Kosovo and Albania, Kosovo will never be in Serbian hands.

And now we see that Serbs in Northern Kosovo aren't going to buy this agreement until they review it themselves. And if they reject it, they will do so for good reason, just as they have been conducting themselves all along. Tadic and Steponovic will be exposed and be obliged to explain themselves. If it is good, they will make whatever accomodations they decide, including removing the barriers. They will remain in control of the situation just in case Pristina decides to leverage the changes against the agreement like they do other agreements now. We can see that Pristina is not to be trusted. The barriers can always go up again and they can make sure that they remain in a position to do so.

Either way, accept or reject the agreement, this is an achievement and a milestone.

(Leo, 4 December 2011 20:49)

Of course, because they were so brainwashed and delusional that they could not even fathom that Russia would have dumped them so easily.
(icj1, 5 December 2011 04:35)

Actually KSerbs don't want to move to Russia, they want Russian support in any possible way.

I don't think KSerbs got disappointed very much that Russia didn't get them citizenship and didn't start WWIII because of them.

BTW what is your point now about Kosovo recognitions? You keep changing your points every other day as your previouse ones are bitten (without admitting it of course)

Serbian 'repatriation' to Russia is as stupid as the Albanains==Illyrians legend.
(Comm. Parrisson, 4 December 2011 16:26)

Hmm, in fact-it is NOT. Serbs came from Russia in 7 century and Albanians are descendants of Illyrians who lived always in Balkans. So, I know your'e trying to deny the origin of Albanians by foxy trying to show Serbs are authocones but you know you are wrong.

But they did want to move to Russia because 22.000 K. Serbs applied for Russian citizenship. That means that they want to reside to Russia and to waive Serbia and Kosovo’s citizenship as required by Russia citizenship law.

That’s good; nobody would be happy to see anybody disappointed. At least everybody is clear now where K. Serbs fall in Russia’s priorities !

Let me start with congratulating all the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija on their heroic and dignified struggle for freedom in face of overwhelming adversaries and gross injustices. Let us remind ourselves that all what the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija (i.e. Serbian Orthodox church’s land) struggle for is to remain in their country of birth, which happens to be Serbia. The only thing that the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija reject is the authority of bandits who run so-called Albanian self-proclaimed independent Kosovo.
What is the most remarkable about this Serbian struggle is that Albanians have killed over a thousand of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija already since 1999 under watch of NATO and not a single murderer has been convicted. Despite this, the Western governments, but in particular the US and the leading EU (read German + Austria) governments still try to portray the Serbs as criminals. Such an attitude by Germany is not a surprising – in fact Germany has consistently been anti-Serb (for example, Germany was the first to recognise independence of Slovenia and Croatia, the first to recognise so-called independent Albanian Kosovo ; if we go back to the history Germany committed genocide against Serbs in WWII, while Austria did the same in WWI).
On the other side Russians have been consistently on the Serb side, economically, politically and diplomatically, but it has been proven that it is not enough to prevent the extinction of the Serbs from many ex-Yugoslav republics (Croatia, Bosnia and so-called independent Albanian Kosovo).
That is why the Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija deserve a better government in Belgrade than the current treacherous government of Mr Boris Tack and his corrupt cronies. Unfortunately there is not much alternative other than Mr Kostunica who has so far managed to prevent Mr Tadic’s corrupt and hedonistic regime from outright sale of Kosovo Serbs.
