“EU must not condition Serbia with Kosovo“

Serbia will definitely get candidate status soon from the EU - certainly before the next elections. The EU wants to keep the DS in power, as they are certainly the most obedient to their demands. Kosovo will continue to be a headache for all involved for many years to come, until the separatists in power in Pristina are gone by election, or removed by the very powers that put them there. When new, more rational and compromising individuals fill the seats in Pristina's government, and the hardline thugs of the former KLA are gone, things may start to change for the better in KiM. Until then, happy worthless talks.

Once the hard core KLA government members of Pristina are gone the sky will be much clearer.Anyway the elections in Kosovo were manipulated by Thaci's buddies.

"Slovak President Ivan Gašparovič pointed out that Bratislava shared the position. “The EU cannot condition Serbia with Kosovo. Serbia must be evaluated based on what it has done regarding the fulfillment of standards,“ he explained."

Exactly. Nowhere in any requirements for EU members the word 'Kosovo' is mentioned.

I'm 90% sure that Serbia will get the EU candidate status in February/March.

Which is unlikely, because just like in Serbia, in Kosovo the biggest opposition party is even more extremists and nationalists and surely not rational and compromising. 'Self determination movement' is only a name, in fact, they are nationalists like Serbian radicals.

Furthermore, elections in Kosovo were manipulated by Thaci's buddies, so there's hardly a chance of getting rid of him, unfortunately.

For sure...not.

The EU is busy with your Greek buddies. Even the nation that more of that kind should be given a perspective of membership is an idea that can not be sold to European voters.

But since anyway 99% of the Serbian comments are anti-EU why should you be bothered?

“We will see how things will go. But I remind you that Croatia had to fulfill certain political conditions too on its European pathway and I am sure that Serbia will do so as well,“ he stated.

Is he giving a hint to Serb President what needs to be done?

The West shouldn't have helped KAlbanisns in 1999, it was clear back then and it is clear now that their purposes are not humanitarian, but political and ambitious

Want to bet?

Who is he to give orders?

Will the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Netherlands and co give a **** what Gasparovic has to say? I think not.

They'll do as they please. And Slovakia is powerless to do otherwise.

The union needs to ask themselves whether they want another Cyprus frozen conflict in its midst.

Sooner, rather then later, EU will demand that Belgrade recognize Pristina.

Sincerely,

You must not condition Serbia with Kosova hahahaahh who are you to tell the EU include U.S how to do there job go back to your old comunist country no body is lisening to you

And where was the Slovenian president in all this? Perhaps Slovakia and the current Czech president don't represent the entire EU? Slovakia supports Serbia because of its Hungarian minority problem, Klaus is a Eurosceptic elected (by the legislature) with Communist support) - their stance is no surprise, or any indication of what the EU is prepared to do. (Klaus' term ends in March; the law has just been changed and from now on, the president of the CR will be elected by the people, so whatever support he can offer Serbia is not going to last long.)

(aaayyy, 19 February 2012 17:59) aaayyy, it was a different world in 1999, it was before 9/11, and the USA and the NATO were looking for a place to expand, to solidify their war machine, so the Balkans was their best and only option. Believe me, if the civil war in Kosovo was going on know, the West would be an observer, they would make official State Dept. comments, and that would be it. But believe me, they are more than sorry they ever got involved so deeply into the Balkans. They obviously did not do their research well. In any case, the tide is shifting towards Serbia, that is obvious by the latest Eulex moves. Let's face it, does the West need a compliant Serbia, more than a compliant Albanian Kosovo? You figure it out.

Kosovo is the home of the Serbian religion and culture. This is a home that cannot be stolen. At least not permanently anyway.

Kosovo is Serbia. Serbs live in Serbia.

Albania is your real home.

You can steal someone's house if the landlord permits it, but if the landlord changes then you won't get away with it :)

Serbs are a stronger ethnic race - this is what it comes down to in the end. Albanians have collaborated with the enemy and the evil due to a weakness and following the path of least resistance.

Serbs never follow the path of least resistance. That is why Germany & the US do not like Serbia. We will not be puppets to anyone. We never have been puppets to anyone. This is something we can be proud of but you cannot.

Kosovo je Srce Srbije! (Kosovo is the heart of Serbia)

'But since anyway 99% of the Serbian comments are anti-EU why should you be bothered?'
(European taxpayer)

Because it seems that 99% of Serbian voters, like 99% of people anywhere, have little effect on what any government they elect actually does.

With Cyprus, it's exactly the opposite. In case the Turkey wants to become an EU member, it will be asked to recognize Cyprus and maybe to give up its support for the separatists in the north.
