Hey Tomislav,

Once upon a time a captain who knew a captain who new a general etc , etc you get my drift, your story is as true as Little red riding hood your reminding me of Ralph from honeymoners remember , one of this day Alice one of these days. You are saying you were there ,(wow) you must have felt great killing unarmed civilians, talk about a Warior. Tomislav
you still havent told me how can any self respecting Army surender without a single day off ground fight.Tomislav for your info our administration is fully suporting Kosovo and unlike many people who do not know exactely what happened there they are fully aware and do not forget we will be slowly building a Balkans Israel out of Kosovo to prevent Serbia from gaining Acces to the Adriatic who would in turn give naval base to Russia who is our mortal enemie.You know that that will never happen and yes a do read blogs from all over the world and your blogs 90% Serbian off how USA is done as a superpower so do not act as our friend we do not gett fooled that easy.

Exactly the old fashioned invasion of "I built a church here and its righteously ours" .Too bad churches/mosques don't decide on administer rights .And too bad decisions surrounding serbian heritage hasn't really seen the light of day in balkan that is.

Look out, a real-life American "grunt" who thinks he can play Internet Forum Warrior and a real life one at the same time. Hey Sal, do happen to know the US Captain that stormed into an Albanian cafe in Kosovo and called them all animals after they attacked unarmed Serbs in Kosovo? Or how about the utter dismay of many American troops that got enraged after they heard and saw about the churches burned down in 2004? You see Sal, some of you may have been hood-winked by these guys, but many of your bretheren have turned on the Albanians. Don't beleive me? Read the forum pages here in the US after the few Albanian attacks on US soldiers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't many say "we helped the wrong side" or "we should have helped the Serbs finish the deal."? See Sal, you came with your machismo attitude to tell everyone "you lost," but some of us that were there and who are in position to and undo the nonsense that simpletons like yourself fell for will get the last say in this. See beat away (your chest that is)....

It has to be Serbian because:

1 it doesn't have a permit.
2 it doesn't have the aproval of the people living there.
3 it sprung up like a mushroom after a rainy day.

I can go on more but I think you are smart enough to pick up the rest, I hope one day Serbs won't claim that mount too as "the cradle of Serbia like Dardania ( Kosova/o).

Winston I am so glad your concerned with my education,from what I know educated people do not support War crimnals or nations that comitted genocides on unprotected population but then again what do I know I am uneducated one.When I last looked in my Passaport it said that I am American butt hey what do I know maybe you can read it for me.As for American people not giving a rats you know what about Kosovo or the other Contries in Balkans you know very well that this wars would nothave lasted a day withut their support.By the way even though I am uneducated one I am sure that Eskimos are American so I do not know why did you put them in your quotation.To Mr Canadian Serb , unfortunately for us and fortunately for you we never had a chance to do anything else butt hit you from 30.000 feet since your wariors disapeared before we had a chance to put a single foot in Kosovo, you surenered after a first punch.Mick from what I know before a split that country was called Yugoslavia not Serbia so I can not see where did Serbia come with argument that it was only protecting its contry.Mr Putins left foot, Reagan is in Gods hands but he is still watching from above and if you missbihave he left many other Reagans to slap the missbehaving bullies,you said that you heard that Albanians are good at runing I do not know but why dont you go meet one and find out, your right though I shuoldent mentioned a fist because we can all be Internet wariors but I will end this with Facts, Serbia started 4 wars and lost all of them and stop making Excuses , when you fight you get knocked out you lose your oponent was better and he/she won no ifs and butts.

You are clearly not an American. You cannot even spell or use correct grammar. If you are an American, there are cows on Mars. You like many of your brothers wish you were Americans. Heck, you even name streets in your Prishtina after American TV shows. That's so pathetic. Stop pretending to be us just because a couple of Americans (e.g., the Clintons) like you. As for the rest of us, well most Americans cannot make the difference between Albanian and Albino!

"butt if they want any respect from majority of Americans they out to apologise and pay for war damages wich they all started, Slovenia first, Croatia second Bosnia 3rd and Kosovo the last one ,all of wich they lost"
@Sal

Hmm because of your American interference the ex Yugoslav republics and Serbia the most, got a big debt and Their economy was destroyed by sanctions and blockades and the civil war you instigated. the Debt and damages suffered are going in the hundreds of Billions Dollars! In 1990 the national debt of Yugoslavia was "17 Billion Dollars" that is nothing compared to what countries now have , Slovenia for instance has already a 30/40 Billion debt!
Who is going to pay for the damages?

2ndly Serbia started all wars?
Lets assume Texas want to separate and Washington sends in the military, but China Russia Europe or anyone else helps the Texans for independence and they succeed.
And now everyone blames Washington for the damages/destruction deaths , and that Washington started it? Sounds crazy right?

As you can guess it is the way around and Texas is at fault!
So are the ex republics Slovenia/Croatia/Bosnia/Kosovo at fault for wanting to separate BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY and you blame Serbia for wanting to protect its people/country and Borders for all the misery that has happened!

Sal, you are as much American, as I am an Eskimo. First of all, if you are an American, you are an uneducated one, because your grammar and spelling is atrocious. Secondly, Americans could give a rat's behind about the wars in the Balkans - it was good real time entertainment for them when the CNN propaganda, and video clips of cruise missiles hitting targets was going on. As for retributions to Balkans countries, and the province of Kosovo, especially demanded by the American people, that's a real stretch, dude. You have to be laughing here yourself. I have a suspicion that you are an Albanian, am I right? I think I am. So, Sal, please be yourself, be honest, no need for role playing, and you may respected a bit more with your comments. In the meantime, take some English lessons, if you really want to be American.

Why build it out of tin? Just to be a shiny, provocative eye sore, its probably not even structurally sound, i'm sure the builders hedged their use of materials based on the fact that as an illegal structure it will be demolished sooner or later.

Churches and Mosques are temples of worship and ALL should be respected as such. Here I cannot forget to mention the segregation of Orthodox temples in Kosovo or the genocides that occured all over the country /s. No one and nothing can justify such atrocities. Ok those were times of war but now why peace instabilty due to hatred??? Do NOT let stupid politicians fool you and lead you more serious repercussions. Did'nt you have enough unnecessary useless suffering coming from ALL sides?? Neighbouring countries in the Balkans should respect each other more. I am well aware about religious / etnic conflicts which dates back in history and more recent ones but its about time to open our minds and change mentalities. Everyone deserves the right for a better life, irrelevant of which faith. We have only 1 life to live, Make PEACE NOT WARS. Wishing all Balkan countries the very best......

Where to begin...

Okay, first of all, this is Montenegro, not Serbia. Secondly, Belgrade (a majority Serb region) has both a nice Ottoman era mosque (not Serbian) and a Catholic church (also not Serbian). They're also both in the downtown, absolute center of Belgrade.

Bajrakli Mosque even flies the green Bosnian Muslim flag (not Serbian) and the Catholic church is run by Croats (certainly not Serbian), but no one (in a majority Serb area) is saying they're provocations or should be removed.

It's something called diversity: live with it or if you cant (or wont), try living in a country where your nationality is in the name, that usually makes everything easier for bigots.

You Albanians were no match for the Serbian Army.

Serbia's Military left Kosovo because the Americans were bombing civilian targets in Belgrade and vicinity.

Serbia's army wasn't beat down like you say it was.

The USA only fought against Serbia's infrastructure and some fake targets. Do you forget that Serbia's military left Kosovo with 99% of their military arms and personnel in tact?

I will put it bluntly. Christianity is supposedly about the love of God and the forgiveness bought by Christ on the cross. It is not about building churches to mark territory like an animal leaving its scent.

If this church was built to mark territory it should either be pulled down by the loving Christians who built it - or left there by the sinners who are using it as a flag of war.

"butt if they want any respect from majority of Americans they out to apologise and pay for war damages wich they all started, Slovenia first, Croatia second Bosnia 3rd and Kosovo the last one ,all of wich they lost"
@Sal

Hmm because of your American interference the ex Yugoslav republics and Serbia the most, got a big debt and Their economy was destroyed by sanctions and blockades and the civil war you instigated. the Debt and damages suffered are going in the hundreds of Billions Dollars! In 1990 the national debt of Yugoslavia was "17 Billion Dollars" that is nothing compared to what countries now have , Slovenia for instance has already a 30/40 Billion debt!
Who is going to pay for the damages?

2ndly Serbia started all wars?
Lets assume Texas want to separate and Washington sends in the military, but China Russia Europe or anyone else helps the Texans for independence and they succeed.
And now everyone blames Washington for the damages/destruction deaths , and that Washington started it? Sounds crazy right?

As you can guess it is the way around and Texas is at fault!
So are the ex republics Slovenia/Croatia/Bosnia/Kosovo at fault for wanting to separate BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY and you blame Serbia for wanting to protect its people/country and Borders for all the misery that has happened!

I will put it bluntly. Christianity is supposedly about the love of God and the forgiveness bought by Christ on the cross. It is not about building churches to mark territory like an animal leaving its scent.

If this church was built to mark territory it should either be pulled down by the loving Christians who built it - or left there by the sinners who are using it as a flag of war.

Okay, first of all, this is Montenegro, not Serbia. Secondly, Belgrade (a majority Serb region) has both a nice Ottoman era mosque (not Serbian) and a Catholic church (also not Serbian). They're also both in the downtown, absolute center of Belgrade.

Bajrakli Mosque even flies the green Bosnian Muslim flag (not Serbian) and the Catholic church is run by Croats (certainly not Serbian), but no one (in a majority Serb area) is saying they're provocations or should be removed.

Hey Tomislav,

Once upon a time a captain who knew a captain who new a general etc , etc you get my drift, your story is as true as Little red riding hood your reminding me of Ralph from honeymoners remember , one of this day Alice one of these days. You are saying you were there ,(wow) you must have felt great killing unarmed civilians, talk about a Warior. Tomislav
you still havent told me how can any self respecting Army surender without a single day off ground fight.Tomislav for your info our administration is fully suporting Kosovo and unlike many people who do not know exactely what happened there they are fully aware and do not forget we will be slowly building a Balkans Israel out of Kosovo to prevent Serbia from gaining Acces to the Adriatic who would in turn give naval base to Russia who is our mortal enemie.You know that that will never happen and yes a do read blogs from all over the world and your blogs 90% Serbian off how USA is done as a superpower so do not act as our friend we do not gett fooled that easy.

Sal, you are as much American, as I am an Eskimo. First of all, if you are an American, you are an uneducated one, because your grammar and spelling is atrocious. Secondly, Americans could give a rat's behind about the wars in the Balkans - it was good real time entertainment for them when the CNN propaganda, and video clips of cruise missiles hitting targets was going on. As for retributions to Balkans countries, and the province of Kosovo, especially demanded by the American people, that's a real stretch, dude. You have to be laughing here yourself. I have a suspicion that you are an Albanian, am I right? I think I am. So, Sal, please be yourself, be honest, no need for role playing, and you may respected a bit more with your comments. In the meantime, take some English lessons, if you really want to be American.

"butt if they want any respect from majority of Americans they out to apologise and pay for war damages wich they all started, Slovenia first, Croatia second Bosnia 3rd and Kosovo the last one ,all of wich they lost"
@Sal

Hmm because of your American interference the ex Yugoslav republics and Serbia the most, got a big debt and Their economy was destroyed by sanctions and blockades and the civil war you instigated. the Debt and damages suffered are going in the hundreds of Billions Dollars! In 1990 the national debt of Yugoslavia was "17 Billion Dollars" that is nothing compared to what countries now have , Slovenia for instance has already a 30/40 Billion debt!
Who is going to pay for the damages?

2ndly Serbia started all wars?
Lets assume Texas want to separate and Washington sends in the military, but China Russia Europe or anyone else helps the Texans for independence and they succeed.
And now everyone blames Washington for the damages/destruction deaths , and that Washington started it? Sounds crazy right?

As you can guess it is the way around and Texas is at fault!
So are the ex republics Slovenia/Croatia/Bosnia/Kosovo at fault for wanting to separate BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY and you blame Serbia for wanting to protect its people/country and Borders for all the misery that has happened!

So that means Serbs who demolished illegally built Albanian houses were right, even by Albanian standards.

Look out, a real-life American "grunt" who thinks he can play Internet Forum Warrior and a real life one at the same time. Hey Sal, do happen to know the US Captain that stormed into an Albanian cafe in Kosovo and called them all animals after they attacked unarmed Serbs in Kosovo? Or how about the utter dismay of many American troops that got enraged after they heard and saw about the churches burned down in 2004? You see Sal, some of you may have been hood-winked by these guys, but many of your bretheren have turned on the Albanians. Don't beleive me? Read the forum pages here in the US after the few Albanian attacks on US soldiers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't many say "we helped the wrong side" or "we should have helped the Serbs finish the deal."? See Sal, you came with your machismo attitude to tell everyone "you lost," but some of us that were there and who are in position to and undo the nonsense that simpletons like yourself fell for will get the last say in this. See beat away (your chest that is)....

Exactly the old fashioned invasion of "I built a church here and its righteously ours" .Too bad churches/mosques don't decide on administer rights .And too bad decisions surrounding serbian heritage hasn't really seen the light of day in balkan that is.
