How come Belgrade wasn't so adamant about holding the 2006 Constitution Referendum in Kosovo?

Or is this just some publicity stunt to make out they've had a mini victory in the media?

And so your point is that everybody is free to disregard 1244 ? But that is the document that says that Kosovo is Serbia LOL

Fortunately, it is not the only document or law that confirms Serbian sovereignty, which includes KiM. UNSCR1244 basically reconfirms that KiM is still a part of Serbia after NATO's aggression in attempting to steal it. That aggression is still in play today otherwise "Kosova"* would be independent by now.

Engineer, there are also many people that are tired of Kosovo* ranting about it being independent. The Serbs in N. KiM, especially, do not accept anything coming out of Pristina, so what kind of Kosovo citizen are the Albanians and the US talking about. That is the problem, all you pro_Kosovo* fans, the status issue of KiM is still unsettled, and until that is completed, there will be no peace in KiM. All other issues are trivial, till the big issue is resolved.

Maybe you are talking how we will solve situation in North yes I agree however the rest is solved as you even see in this article K-Serbs already taking that so called Kosovo Citizenship. And think about it we are talking 40K people here its Balkans and people are so ingrained in the past that they find self worth in history or Athletes to claim glory.

North will be solved soon and as I said before North will get Autonomy inside Kosovo and Serbia will help in Health care and Education, Churches in Kosovo will get special status and Serbia will deal with Kosovo in same format as Germens did until 1990.

The rest is smoke and cheap talk by politicians, no more worth than my words our others in this forum.

Unemployment in Kosovo and Serbia is at the sky rocket % and at times is find SJ talking about demise of USA and glory of Russia which is as saying my neighbor has a ferrari :)).

Mike C,

Maybe you have not been to Serbia in long time and your comfort in Sweden does not allow you to go to see your keen but in a country like Serbia they are making 150Euro unless they start making 2000Euros you can not say they are 1500 times better. but if you wanted to say Sweden is 1000 better than Serbia and Kosovo you are correct.

Go read B92 in Serbian and see the true situation in Serbia how every other comment is : How tiered they are of Kosovo and that they should turn Ministry of Kosovo in to Ministry of Employment for Serbs of Serbia.

Hvala vam puno B92 ako je moguce da mi ne smanjati komente i postirajte na celinu.

"Also take care of the 800 000 homeless people living in Serbia."

BT

Perhaps Serbia can send their 800 000 "homeless" people to Kosovo where they can join the 1,8 million homeless albanians? Albanians can never be compared with serbs. You can twist and turn any situation you want but you will always end up at the bottom. With few exceptions albanians are a backward people. Its as simple as that. Ask yourself why Albania is still 1500 years after the rest of Europe?

The minister added that he had no data on how many Serbs who live in the province took the documents issued by the Kosovo Albanian authorities, saying that "Priština is not publishing that data", but that "a considerable number of our citizens who live (in enclaves) south of the Ibar River did".

This is a huge statement and shows just how much things have changed. I cannot believe that a Serbian politician would openly admit that many people of Serbian ethnicity living in southern Kosovo have accepted citizenship (by taking Kosovo documents).

According to  1244 Serbia is not allowed to hold elections in Kosovo. So Serbia has violated  the 1244 for over 10 years and serbia  say that Prishtina is not following agreements. Take care of your backyard before talking BS. ps Also take care of the 800 000 homeless people living in Serbia.

Just do it or shut up, how people are not tiered of this man??? Either be a man and organise elections or just say sorry I we can not.

We all know the outcome of this story in Sep there will be discussion of Autonomy for North and Serbia will deal with Kosovo without recognition like 2 Germanys. Just do it already and stop the shared the sad thing is both communities are being taken for a ride and Politicians get fat in ur expense.

Why a Minister pretends he does not understand what only those with dual citizenship means, its simple as Serbia allows dual Citizenship as well. If you want to get a passport say in London in Serbian embassy you need to be at least resident of UK.

America is saying only those who have Kosovo and Serbian citizenship should be allowed to vote in Kosovo, so please give Serbs a direction and stop playing with their emotions.

and stop with this terrorist stuff please since no one is buying it How many Serbian extreamist every day say they will soon take Kosovo by Force or say come to North and you will get killed ... relax make a decision and see it through otherwise shut up say I am not alowed as US/ EU will slam me.

What a crock. Let's see if you can hold elections against our will. I bet you that you will be greeted by KP ROSU very quickly. BTW what happened to you, after being declared PERSONA-NON-GRATA I haven't seen you much in Kosovo. Come to your so called provincial capital and lecture us about your bs.

Maybe you are talking how we will solve situation in North yes I agree however the rest is solved as you even see in this article K-Serbs already taking that so called Kosovo Citizenship. And think about it we are talking 40K people here its Balkans and people are so ingrained in the past that they find self worth in history or Athletes to claim glory.

North will be solved soon and as I said before North will get Autonomy inside Kosovo and Serbia will help in Health care and Education, Churches in Kosovo will get special status and Serbia will deal with Kosovo in same format as Germens did until 1990.

The rest is smoke and cheap talk by politicians, no more worth than my words our others in this forum.

Unemployment in Kosovo and Serbia is at the sky rocket % and at times is find SJ talking about demise of USA and glory of Russia which is as saying my neighbor has a ferrari :)).

Mike C,

Maybe you have not been to Serbia in long time and your comfort in Sweden does not allow you to go to see your keen but in a country like Serbia they are making 150Euro unless they start making 2000Euros you can not say they are 1500 times better. but if you wanted to say Sweden is 1000 better than Serbia and Kosovo you are correct.

Go read B92 in Serbian and see the true situation in Serbia how every other comment is : How tiered they are of Kosovo and that they should turn Ministry of Kosovo in to Ministry of Employment for Serbs of Serbia.

Hvala vam puno B92 ako je moguce da mi ne smanjati komente i postirajte na celinu.

And so your point is that everybody is free to disregard 1244 ? But that is the document that says that Kosovo is Serbia LOL

Fortunately, it is not the only document or law that confirms Serbian sovereignty, which includes KiM. UNSCR1244 basically reconfirms that KiM is still a part of Serbia after NATO's aggression in attempting to steal it. That aggression is still in play today otherwise "Kosova"* would be independent by now.

How come Belgrade wasn't so adamant about holding the 2006 Constitution Referendum in Kosovo?

Or is this just some publicity stunt to make out they've had a mini victory in the media?

UNMIK chief Joachim Ruecker himself violated the resolution back in 2007 by the decrees wherein he quoted the Ahtisaari Plan in conducting Priština's elections in Kosovo, Samardžić stated and added that this means that Serbia has no obligations because the violation of Resolution 1244 was obvious.
Looks like all sides are violating UNSCR1244 when it comes to elections.

Yes Glenn, this is really a big deal. It just goes to show what intimidation and murder can achieve.

That's not possible. As sj has correctly stated based on his/her unparalleled sources of information, nobody, and, I repeat, nobody DARES touch the Serbs in Kosovo LOL
