"The councilors expect EULEX to act in accordance with the six-point plan principles and to “stop working on creating another Albanian state in the Balkans”."

Of course... EULEX is already doing whatever it can to fullfill the wishes of the councilors and implement UNMIK regulations which mandate customs taxes to be collected at the Kosovo crossings for goods destined to Kosovo.

I still don't know what's your problem? As long as Serbia allows it, what difference does it make to you whether it be presedential elections. or whatever election it might be? You talk about it not being in accordance with the UNSC 1244, but when you Albanians declare unilateral independence […] I assume those actions are in line with UNSC 1244?
(ivan, 21 March 2012 15:39)

Of course it is in line with UNSC 1244; that has been clarified since July of 2010 thanks to Vuk

People of Northern Kosovo has a right to hold the election, to vote on the issues of concern to them and candidates to represent them.

Of course and not only them but all of Kosovo, in accordance with UNMIK decisions

Society? PapaJohn, why on Earth did you put the Ottoman Empire in then? Define society. now, it is well known that Mother Theresa was of Albanian ethnicity. The founder of the state of Egypt was Albanian. read it up. Ferid Murad is Albanian-American (a co-winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine).both is parents are Albanians. there's more, but I find the question pointless. You ask it out of desperation. personally, i do not care if Albanians have contributed nothing. to go with the genius of Tesall, Serbia has contributed Srebrenica, Vukovar and lots of war criminals currently residing in the Hague, in fact, second only to Nazi Germany in numbers

I don't like answering for other people,so I'll allow our Albanian guests
to answer you for themselves,as it should be--after all they are the oldest uninterrupted civilization in Europe.
(I thought so, 21 March 2012 17:08)

First of all, Albania's civilization is not the oldest in Europe. They speak an Indo-European language, unlike Spain's Basques. Albanians strictly cling to their Illyrianness because they are taught by antiquated text books and nationalist rhetoric that it is fact.

I'm sure living in Europe's poorest country reflects in the quality of text books for children. I don't think everyone thinks everything Enver Hoxha did was good, but they keep his propaganda about Albanian origins. Strange that scholars still cannot decipher the Illyrian language.

Primordialist "blood" nationalism and national romanticism are also currently anti-trends in professional scholarship. Just look at the west, when was France claiming to be Celtic? Over 150 years ago. Just look at their statue of Vercingetorix near the former Alesia, it makes absolutely no sense today. They built that to deny their German origins, although France comes from the Franks, a Germanic tribe. If you want to sound backwards, go ahead, keep claiming your blood is clean and unmixed through the course of 2,000 years. I'm sure your great-great-great-great grandfathers and grandmothers did not feel the same way when they had sex with Slavs, Greeks, Turks, Vlachs, etc.

As for Albania, let's not forget why it was created. It came to be due to Austria-Hungary's anti-Serbian policy (denying their rival an outlet to the sea) and Italy's vision of forging a new empire. That happened 100 years ago, yet people claim "uninterruptedness" after Greeks, Romans, Greeks, Bulgarians, Greeks, Normans, Greeks, Serbs, then Albanians, and finally Turks have all called their land theirs before Austria-Hungary and Italy sought to deprive Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece of their conquests.

As for this feud over peoples... Nikola Tesla was a Serb, but his mind, his work, his life absolutely transcended petty nationalism. The same can be said for Mother Teresia. They did not do what they did because of their ethnic origins, they did it to help humanity. Tesla and Teresa, both, wanted to make the world a better place. I'm not sure many benefit non-stop from Teresa's lifework, but everyone who picks up a TV remote control or uses electricity can thank Tesla. Albanians who are here clearly are connected to the grid, so, thank a Serb.

Also, a guy named Harry Truman (US president) gave that Četnik Draža Mihailović posthumous honors. They were entirely secret since the US had to live with Tito's Yugoslavia, but the mere fact that they went to the trouble of honoring him says volumes. Furthermore, Aleksandar Karađorđević was present at the British royal wedding, were any Albanians there? Petar I Karađorđević, King of Serbia, also has his own in Jerusalem for being a friend to the Jews. Does Zog enjoy the same respect?

John Belushi, the famous Albanian-American actor, apparently did not have anything against Slavs when he agreed to play John Blutarsky (Slavonic) in his most famous role in "Animal House."

Robert1899,

Your right wing views are very insulting to others, maybe that is the message you would like to put it through, but its OK that's what freedom of speech is all about.

Also I don't understand you question "Again, I ask what good have albanians contributed to society? ", maybe you are fluent in English, but your question has no meaning unless you make it specific to a particular society and a period of time.

Would you kindly correct your question?

Kind regards.

Free democratic Elections in Northern Kosovo,not only they are legal,they are desirable.People of Northern Kosovo has a right to hold the election, to vote on the issues of concern to them and candidates to represent them.UNMIK,EULEX and KFOR should incourage such events,not oppose them.Peaceful democratic elections, by definition are indispensable element of the free society.Thin horn gunmen from Pristina are pablicly threating Nortern Kosovo Serbs.This should be taken in account by those organizations enforcing UNSC resolution 1244.For last almost 13 years of international presence records indicate, KFOR did not effectively protect children, unarmed civilians and Srbian Orthodox Churches and Monasteries.Those terrorist elements in Pristina advocating violence should be silenced by KFOR.

How about Nikola Tesla's inventions? How about the exhilaration of watching Serbs play tennis, or any sport? How about that the Serbs pretty much fed all the Albanians in Kosovo during Tito's rule? And on, and on . . . Now what exactly did the Albanians contribute, the Macedonian Mother Teresa?
(PapaJohn, 21 March 2012 21:11)
#1 If Mother Teresa is Macedonian then Nikola Tesla is Croatian he is born in present day Croatia.
#2 Serbia in Tito's yugoslavia got big pice of the pie all republics knew that and this is what they ddi not want to continue to happen and even little brother Montenegro left you.

#3 True Serbia has great Athletes but they did get to benefit from Beograd being capital and having all the arenas and being the capital of Yugoslavia hence big pice of pie on sports again, Albania on the other side Hoxha was nota fan of sports so no benefit. Today Swiss Football has 5 Kosovo born stars what does this tell you when they get the training and care they succeed and with time we will continue to bridge that gap.

can you answer me when I meat a Serbian abroad when asked where they are from they say Yugoslavia not Serbia this happens over and over again are they ashamed of something???

Ivan, actually, yes, the ICJ very specifically ruled that Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence was in line with 1244, or at least in no way violated it...

... and now UNMIK will have to be present when Pristina is? Are those the markings of an independent State, Kosovo US? ...
(PapaJohn, 21 March 2012 12:51)

Give reading a try. Many people enjoy it! UNMIK need only be present when UNMIK is a signatory to an agreement, under the temporary agreement on regional representation agreed to by Serbia and Kosovo.

Here one link of what Albanians have contributed in society:
Dr Ferid Murad - His work on nitric oxide led to the development of Viagra.
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1998/murad-autobio.html
This is a contribution from us "Albanians" to you so you can go and “you know what” yourself or any other racist poster here.

have you actually had a look at the statistics of Serbian population in kosovo, bosna etc? they have actually declined. We lost more then other countries. By the way, you still have no proper response for you albanians with your human organ traffiking and drug traffiking.. you just keep bringing up old war issues..

What we are discussing is happening today so here are some facts for you to read. FACT: KOSOVO IS STILL LEGALLY SERBIAN STATE!!!
FACT: ALBANIANS HAVE FLOODED IT
FACT: YOUR PEOPLE TRIED TO KILL MY BROTHER WHILE HE WAS IN KOSOVO
FACT: I LOST A FAMILY FRIEND IN KOSOVO AGE OF 4 WHO WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY ALBANIANS!!

"FACT: Albanians staged several uprisings against the Turks and helped drive them out"

yeah maybe.. not much documented there.. you embraced their religion largely..

"FACT: Albanians fought against the Nazis like the rest of the peoples in the region. Conveniently, you forgot to mention Chetnicks who collaborated with Nazis"

Nonsense.. Kosovo Albanians were some of the biggest Nazis around, they slaughtered thousands of Serbs and jews.. THe KLA gets their inspiration from them.. The chetniks were the first anti-nazi resistance in Yugoslavia, they hated the communists so some of them defected to the Nazis but some also defected to the Partisans.. Once again get your facts right..

"Nikola Tesla's inventions helped revolutionize the world. But, that was 100 years ago. Based on the amount of boasting you do there should've been 100 more Teslas since."

Tesla is the greatest scientists EVER. Something to proud of you know? I guess Albanians wouldn't know, since they dont have anyone close to that..

"FACT: There used to be a saying in the old Yugo during communist days that went something like this: "Trepca radi Beograd se gradi'. Translation: Albanians worked hard in the mines and helped build Belgrade while their neighborhoods were being neglected. Who fed whom?"

Of we course we fed you.. Albanians were leaving Albania for a better life and they got it kosovo.. Better social welfare programs and work.. Albania was terrible as you know..

Mother Teresa was Albanian. Anyone who can read can find out the truth.

Predrag

pre 12 godina

Mother Tereza was a Macedonian, who she was ashamed of her albanian roots!
She may have been a "nice" person, but she wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed. And she was also involved in fraud and corruption
She was often criticised because she felt that suffering would bring people closer to Jesus.
In her "Homes for the Dying", one could "hear the screams of people having maggots tweezered from their open wounds without pain relief.

Mother Teresa also expressed grave doubts about God's existence and pain over her lack of faith.

Is this the "Best" thing you albanians have contributed to society?

PapaJohn

Murad's key research demonstrated that nitroglycerin and related drugs worked by releasing nitric oxide into the body, which acted as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system, making blood vessels dilate.

The Yugo is a limo compared to the donkey they your kin use. Also if the albanians are so clever and industrious why don't west based companies invest in albanian dominated areas. I mean NATO went to war with Serbia 13 years ago and companies from NATO countries are investing in Serbia. albania has been free of war and yet its as backwards as ever.

The founder of the state of Egypt was Albanian. read it up. Ferid Murad is Albanian-American (a co-winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine).both is parents are Albanians. there's more, but I find the question pointless. You ask it out of desperation. personally, i do not care if Albanians have contributed nothing. to go with the genius of Tesall, Serbia has contributed Srebrenica, Vukovar and lots of war criminals currently residing in the Hague, in fact, second only to Nazi Germany in numbers

(I thought so, 21 March 2012 17:08)

First of all, Albania's civilization is not the oldest in Europe. They speak an Indo-European language, unlike Spain's Basques. Albanians strictly cling to their Illyrianness because they are taught by antiquated text books and nationalist rhetoric that it is fact.

I'm sure living in Europe's poorest country reflects in the quality of text books for children. I don't think everyone thinks everything Enver Hoxha did was good, but they keep his propaganda about Albanian origins. Strange that scholars still cannot decipher the Illyrian language.

Primordialist "blood" nationalism and national romanticism are also currently anti-trends in professional scholarship. Just look at the west, when was France claiming to be Celtic? Over 150 years ago. Just look at their statue of Vercingetorix near the former Alesia, it makes absolutely no sense today. They built that to deny their German origins, although France comes from the Franks, a Germanic tribe. If you want to sound backwards, go ahead, keep claiming your blood is clean and unmixed through the course of 2,000 years. I'm sure your great-great-great-great grandfathers and grandmothers did not feel the same way when they had sex with Slavs, Greeks, Turks, Vlachs, etc.

As for Albania, let's not forget why it was created. It came to be due to Austria-Hungary's anti-Serbian policy (denying their rival an outlet to the sea) and Italy's vision of forging a new empire. That happened 100 years ago, yet people claim "uninterruptedness" after Greeks, Romans, Greeks, Bulgarians, Greeks, Normans, Greeks, Serbs, then Albanians, and finally Turks have all called their land theirs before Austria-Hungary and Italy sought to deprive Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece of their conquests.

As for this feud over peoples... Nikola Tesla was a Serb, but his mind, his work, his life absolutely transcended petty nationalism. The same can be said for Mother Teresia. They did not do what they did because of their ethnic origins, they did it to help humanity. Tesla and Teresa, both, wanted to make the world a better place. I'm not sure many benefit non-stop from Teresa's lifework, but everyone who picks up a TV remote control or uses electricity can thank Tesla. Albanians who are here clearly are connected to the grid, so, thank a Serb.

Also, a guy named Harry Truman (US president) gave that Četnik Draža Mihailović posthumous honors. They were entirely secret since the US had to live with Tito's Yugoslavia, but the mere fact that they went to the trouble of honoring him says volumes. Furthermore, Aleksandar Karađorđević was present at the British royal wedding, were any Albanians there? Petar I Karađorđević, King of Serbia, also has his own in Jerusalem for being a friend to the Jews. Does Zog enjoy the same respect?

John Belushi, the famous Albanian-American actor, apparently did not have anything against Slavs when he agreed to play John Blutarsky (Slavonic) in his most famous role in "Animal House."

Mother Tereza was a Macedonian, who she was ashamed of her albanian roots!
She may have been a "nice" person, but she wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed. And she was also involved in fraud and corruption
She was often criticised because she felt that suffering would bring people closer to Jesus.
In her "Homes for the Dying", one could "hear the screams of people having maggots tweezered from their open wounds without pain relief.

Mother Teresa also expressed grave doubts about God's existence and pain over her lack of faith.

Someone that Serbs as a nation could never possibly create!

Yeah, she had to go to a leper colony in India to be that. She would have been killed by Hoxha's atheist goons if she were in Albania :)

Robert,
Your question doesn't dignify an answer.
Since you opened the door why don't you tell us what the Serbs have contributed to the world.
Here's what comes to mind:
- started 4 wars in one decade
- killed thousands of people (women, children and the elderly)
- set up camps and systematically raped women
- burned villages
- drove out hundreds of thousands of people from their homes
- committed heinous crimes that only tormented animals are capable of
- to this day they deny minorites basic human rights

The list goes on. I invite you to continue.

"For your info, Serb groupie resident Albanians, Serbs have contributed a ton to society. I cannot not even state it all in a limited space such as here.
-Translation: You can't come up with much so you make a general statement such as they've done too much to list.

But just a few, how about helping to an end to Ottoman Empire rule in the Balkans, much to Albanian chagrin?

FACT: Albanians staged several uprisings against the Turks and helped drive them out.

How about helping drive out the Nazi's from the Balkans during WWII, while you Albanians and the Croats were doing their dirty work of ethnic cleansing?

FACT: Albanians fought against the Nazis like the rest of the peoples in the region. Conveniently, you forgot to mention Chetnicks who collaborated with Nazis.

How about Nikola Tesla's inventions?
Nikola Tesla's inventions helped revolutionize the world. But, that was 100 years ago. Based on the amount of boasting you do there should've been 100 more Teslas since.

How about the exhilaration of watching Serbs play tennis, or any sport?
FACT: You're talking about a game. Hussain Bolt is the fastest man alive. Where does that put Jamaica?


How about that the Serbs pretty much fed all the Albanians in Kosovo during Tito's rule?
FACT: There used to be a saying in the old Yugo during communist days that went something like this: "Trepca radi Beograd se gradi'. Translation: Albanians worked hard in the mines and helped build Belgrade while their neighborhoods were being neglected. Who fed whom?

And on, and on . . . Now what exactly did the Albanians contribute, the Macedonian Mother Teresa?
PapaJohn"

Mother Teresa was Albanian. Anyone who can read can find out the truth.

Nikolle, the question was "to society", and not to the Albanian drive for a greater Albania. Do you have a problem with understanding questions in English, or do you automatically answer all questions as to how it may pertain to Albanians? You seem to be a really objective person, not!

Mother Tereza was a Macedonian, who she was ashamed of her albanian roots!
She may have been a "nice" person, but she wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed. And she was also involved in fraud and corruption
She was often criticised because she felt that suffering would bring people closer to Jesus.
In her "Homes for the Dying", one could "hear the screams of people having maggots tweezered from their open wounds without pain relief.

Mother Teresa also expressed grave doubts about God's existence and pain over her lack of faith.

Is this the "Best" thing you albanians have contributed to society?

#1 If Mother Teresa is Macedonian then Nikola Tesla is Croatian he is born in present day Croatia.
#2 Serbia in Tito's yugoslavia got big pice of the pie all republics knew that and this is what they ddi not want to continue to happen and even little brother Montenegro left you.

#3 True Serbia has great Athletes but they did get to benefit from Beograd being capital and having all the arenas and being the capital of Yugoslavia hence big pice of pie on sports again, Albania on the other side Hoxha was nota fan of sports so no benefit. Today Swiss Football has 5 Kosovo born stars what does this tell you when they get the training and care they succeed and with time we will continue to bridge that gap.

can you answer me when I meat a Serbian abroad when asked where they are from they say Yugoslavia not Serbia this happens over and over again are they ashamed of something???

Society? PapaJohn, why on Earth did you put the Ottoman Empire in then? Define society. now, it is well known that Mother Theresa was of Albanian ethnicity. The founder of the state of Egypt was Albanian. read it up. Ferid Murad is Albanian-American (a co-winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine).both is parents are Albanians. there's more, but I find the question pointless. You ask it out of desperation. personally, i do not care if Albanians have contributed nothing. to go with the genius of Tesall, Serbia has contributed Srebrenica, Vukovar and lots of war criminals currently residing in the Hague, in fact, second only to Nazi Germany in numbers

"FACT: Albanians staged several uprisings against the Turks and helped drive them out"

yeah maybe.. not much documented there.. you embraced their religion largely..

"FACT: Albanians fought against the Nazis like the rest of the peoples in the region. Conveniently, you forgot to mention Chetnicks who collaborated with Nazis"

Nonsense.. Kosovo Albanians were some of the biggest Nazis around, they slaughtered thousands of Serbs and jews.. THe KLA gets their inspiration from them.. The chetniks were the first anti-nazi resistance in Yugoslavia, they hated the communists so some of them defected to the Nazis but some also defected to the Partisans.. Once again get your facts right..

"Nikola Tesla's inventions helped revolutionize the world. But, that was 100 years ago. Based on the amount of boasting you do there should've been 100 more Teslas since."

Tesla is the greatest scientists EVER. Something to proud of you know? I guess Albanians wouldn't know, since they dont have anyone close to that..

"FACT: There used to be a saying in the old Yugo during communist days that went something like this: "Trepca radi Beograd se gradi'. Translation: Albanians worked hard in the mines and helped build Belgrade while their neighborhoods were being neglected. Who fed whom?"

Of we course we fed you.. Albanians were leaving Albania for a better life and they got it kosovo.. Better social welfare programs and work.. Albania was terrible as you know..

have you actually had a look at the statistics of Serbian population in kosovo, bosna etc? they have actually declined. We lost more then other countries. By the way, you still have no proper response for you albanians with your human organ traffiking and drug traffiking.. you just keep bringing up old war issues..

What we are discussing is happening today so here are some facts for you to read. FACT: KOSOVO IS STILL LEGALLY SERBIAN STATE!!!
FACT: ALBANIANS HAVE FLOODED IT
FACT: YOUR PEOPLE TRIED TO KILL MY BROTHER WHILE HE WAS IN KOSOVO
FACT: I LOST A FAMILY FRIEND IN KOSOVO AGE OF 4 WHO WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY ALBANIANS!!

FACT: IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS MEET ME WHEN THE WAR STARTS BECAUSE I AM IN PROCESS OF JOINING THE SERBIAN ARMY.

Free democratic Elections in Northern Kosovo,not only they are legal,they are desirable.People of Northern Kosovo has a right to hold the election, to vote on the issues of concern to them and candidates to represent them.UNMIK,EULEX and KFOR should incourage such events,not oppose them.Peaceful democratic elections, by definition are indispensable element of the free society.Thin horn gunmen from Pristina are pablicly threating Nortern Kosovo Serbs.This should be taken in account by those organizations enforcing UNSC resolution 1244.For last almost 13 years of international presence records indicate, KFOR did not effectively protect children, unarmed civilians and Srbian Orthodox Churches and Monasteries.Those terrorist elements in Pristina advocating violence should be silenced by KFOR.

They also noted that the citizens had expressed their absolute loyalty to Serbia by voting in the referendum on the Priština institutions

(...by holding the referendum - which Serbia later ruled invalid - despite Serbia's absolute insistence that they not do so.)

Wow, what loyalty the Serbs in northern Kosovo show to Serbia!

as usual, when Albanians are confronted with an uncomfortable question, they go on the offensive, and answer a question with a question. That speaks volumes right there.

I will answer your question at my best.
Here one link of what Albanians have contributed in society:
Dr Ferid Murad - His work on nitric oxide led to the development of Viagra.
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1998/murad-autobio.html
This is a contribution from us "Albanians" to you so you can go and “you know what” yourself or any other racist poster here.
I thought B92 had a politically correct policy on posting here.
Yet you allow Robert to offend all Albanians.

(robert1899, 21 March 2012 16:25)

Robert1899,

Your right wing views are very insulting to others, maybe that is the message you would like to put it through, but its OK that's what freedom of speech is all about.

Also I don't understand you question "Again, I ask what good have albanians contributed to society? ", maybe you are fluent in English, but your question has no meaning unless you make it specific to a particular society and a period of time.

Would you kindly correct your question?

Kind regards.

History Lesson

pre 12 godina

I don't like answering for other people,so I'll allow our Albanian guests
to answer you for themselves,as it should be--after all they are the oldest uninterrupted civilization in Europe.
(I thought so, 21 March 2012 17:08)

First of all, Albania's civilization is not the oldest in Europe. They speak an Indo-European language, unlike Spain's Basques. Albanians strictly cling to their Illyrianness because they are taught by antiquated text books and nationalist rhetoric that it is fact.

I'm sure living in Europe's poorest country reflects in the quality of text books for children. I don't think everyone thinks everything Enver Hoxha did was good, but they keep his propaganda about Albanian origins. Strange that scholars still cannot decipher the Illyrian language.

Primordialist "blood" nationalism and national romanticism are also currently anti-trends in professional scholarship. Just look at the west, when was France claiming to be Celtic? Over 150 years ago. Just look at their statue of Vercingetorix near the former Alesia, it makes absolutely no sense today. They built that to deny their German origins, although France comes from the Franks, a Germanic tribe. If you want to sound backwards, go ahead, keep claiming your blood is clean and unmixed through the course of 2,000 years. I'm sure your great-great-great-great grandfathers and grandmothers did not feel the same way when they had sex with Slavs, Greeks, Turks, Vlachs, etc.

As for Albania, let's not forget why it was created. It came to be due to Austria-Hungary's anti-Serbian policy (denying their rival an outlet to the sea) and Italy's vision of forging a new empire. That happened 100 years ago, yet people claim "uninterruptedness" after Greeks, Romans, Greeks, Bulgarians, Greeks, Normans, Greeks, Serbs, then Albanians, and finally Turks have all called their land theirs before Austria-Hungary and Italy sought to deprive Serbia, Montenegro, and Greece of their conquests.

As for this feud over peoples... Nikola Tesla was a Serb, but his mind, his work, his life absolutely transcended petty nationalism. The same can be said for Mother Teresia. They did not do what they did because of their ethnic origins, they did it to help humanity. Tesla and Teresa, both, wanted to make the world a better place. I'm not sure many benefit non-stop from Teresa's lifework, but everyone who picks up a TV remote control or uses electricity can thank Tesla. Albanians who are here clearly are connected to the grid, so, thank a Serb.

Also, a guy named Harry Truman (US president) gave that Četnik Draža Mihailović posthumous honors. They were entirely secret since the US had to live with Tito's Yugoslavia, but the mere fact that they went to the trouble of honoring him says volumes. Furthermore, Aleksandar Karađorđević was present at the British royal wedding, were any Albanians there? Petar I Karađorđević, King of Serbia, also has his own in Jerusalem for being a friend to the Jews. Does Zog enjoy the same respect?

John Belushi, the famous Albanian-American actor, apparently did not have anything against Slavs when he agreed to play John Blutarsky (Slavonic) in his most famous role in "Animal House."

You talk about it not being in accordance with the UNSC 1244, but when you Albanians declare unilateral independence, harvest human organs, desicrate cemeteries and churches, I assume those actions are in line with UNSC 1244? Go to an Albanian forum and spread your venom there!!!!
(ivan, 21 March 2012 15:39)

Ivan, actually, yes, the ICJ very specifically ruled that Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence was in line with 1244, or at least in no way violated it...

... and now UNMIK will have to be present when Pristina is? Are those the markings of an independent State, Kosovo US? ...
(PapaJohn, 21 March 2012 12:51)

Give reading a try. Many people enjoy it! UNMIK need only be present when UNMIK is a signatory to an agreement, under the temporary agreement on regional representation agreed to by Serbia and Kosovo.

"The councilors expect EULEX to act in accordance with the six-point plan principles and to “stop working on creating another Albanian state in the Balkans”."

Of course... EULEX is already doing whatever it can to fullfill the wishes of the councilors and implement UNMIK regulations which mandate customs taxes to be collected at the Kosovo crossings for goods destined to Kosovo.
