"Reciprocal" arrest of two ethnic Albanians

Serbs start losing their nerves. Dacic is much more foolish than assumed. Arresst for the sake of "reciprocal measures" are illegal by all conventions.

Kosovo will continue to protect his soil as long as it takes while Serbia will internationally just shot into its own foot with those actions. The 2 Albanians in custody should file a protest in Straßburg.

The "reciprocal measures", Dačić continued, "are not in Serbia's interests and the Serbian police does not wish to do this". But he added that "this type of situation (arrests of Serbs) can obviously no longer happen without reciprocal measures".

****

Time to say goodbye to EU... Say hello to EU's reciprocity.

The entire world can see how Albanians are treated in Serbia. They get arrested for fun, and not because they broke the law. No wonder Vojvodina wants to be independent. Nobody wants to live with Serbs.

The "reciprocal measures", Dačić continued, "are not in Serbia's interests and the Serbian police does not wish to do this". But he added that "this type of situation (arrests of Serbs) can obviously no longer happen without reciprocal measures".


By saying the above, Dacic openly admits that these two Albanians were arrested in phony charges, especially "Espionage".

If Albanians had to decide something,than maybe...
Unfortunately for albanian extremists,nobody cares for your wishes!

Albanians spys and drug dealers must be arrested,and of course everyone in Presevo and Bujanovac who didnt participate in the census!
Fine them all with 5000 euro per family!

Good work. I hope they arrest more.

Ivica call the judo expert Putin he will help you

What reciprocity?, Serbia would have arrested this two albanians anyway as there was a warrant as per this news since 2005 or so. If we're talking about reciprocity than Kosovo is using reciprocity as Serbia coninues to harras and humiliate Kosovo Albanians. We all know Serbia has continuesly arrested Albanians for absolutely nothing so now have to take it, you like it or not thats what Milosevic and Dacic has brought for their people. I can see that Dacic has finally relised that he is now dealing with a Kosovo state Power not the Kosovo prior to 1999.

As we all can see exept those whom have choosen not to see, the situation between Kosovo and Serbia is getting closer and closer "to re-integration and is showing the Serbia's sovereignity over Kosovo".

Is anyone there to tell us more about Serbian dreams?

They were detained on charges of espionage and drug trafficking.

How ridiculous!!
They could have been either doing espionage OR drug trafficking but not both. Who would in his mind do espionage, and yet risk to be captured on drug trafficking.

Please!!

I do not know if you realize this, but Albanians are not the brightest people out there.

They were detained on charges of espionage and drug trafficking.

How ridiculous!!
They could have been either doing espionage OR drug trafficking but not both. Who would in his mind do espionage, and yet risk to be captured on drug trafficking.

Please!!

What if we ban ALL Serbian goods Dacic, are you still sure you want to compete?

Considering the high levels of crime rates in Kosovo and the fact that this "sovereign" nation has become the capital of European drug and human trafficking and organized crime, I think its safe to say there are more Kosovo Albanian criminals for Serbia to arrest than there are Serbs in Kosovo for the Albanians to harass.

Albanians are clearly trying to scare the local Serb population from voting in the upcoming Serbian elections.

Instead of independence these people should have been given a door to Albania.

Bravo mini Milosevic.

Serbian horror has not stopped at the top with Ivica Dacic,this means that Serbia is not fed up with wars and human behavior.

"They were detained on charges of espionage and drug trafficking"

This has got to be the most ridiculous charge that was ever trumped up.
Why don't just come out and say: We found these two Albanians at the border and we are going to beat them up out of frustration because we have no other way to level the score. Mighty Serbia, what have you reduced yourself to!

This sums up the Serb state to a tee. You don't arrest people as a 'reciprocal', you arrest people for breaking the law. This is the state you want us to be a part of? Frankly, I'd rather die

This is plain act of state terrorism. Nothnig else.

Shame on EU that gives to such a country a candidate status.

Who would in his mind do espionage, and yet risk to be captured on drug trafficking.

Please!!
(miri, 28 March 2012 17:26)

And the answer is...An Albanian. That was quite easy, wasn't it?

I`ve always liked when mister Angel Kelmendi tries to drop in some words about criminal activiteis of others - look in the mirror - your familiy is like ALL Albanian families - a disgrace to europeans...time to get back to Turkey, your homeland - isn`t it?

http://balkan-spezial.blogspot.com/2010/03/die-super-mafia-im-balkan-des-naser.html

"But he added that "this type of situation (arrests of Serbs) can obviously no longer happen without reciprocal measures". "

If the Albanians tried to have fake election in Serbia, just like the Serbs tried in Kosovo, than all is good.

Kosovo helped Serbia out 50% more.

Just look around the neighborhood and know most of them do not even recognize you with the "special people" syndrome.

So, what Dacic tries to say that he would arrest "spies" and "drugtrafficers" only for reciprocal reasons? Funny, in other countries that is regarded only normal.

That leaves only two explanations. Either Dacic is really that stupid to not arrest those kind of people or he is simply lying about those charges. Why I suspect the last option?

Did you arrest these individuals on suspicion of espionage and drug trafficking OR to get even with Thaqi?
This is bad politics!

What if we ban ALL Serbian goods Dacic, are you still sure you want to compete? - Pejoni
Well, you can boycott all Serbian goods if you like, Pejoni, but Kosovars are crazy for Plazma Keks and everything else that comes from your neighbors to the North. If nothing came in from Serbia, stores would be empty in Pristina. I doubt your plan would hold any water (Knez Milos).

(drini., 28 March 2012 17:28)

How are you Drini? You can ask Suzana, she does not think like you. You started first, remember?

"They were detained on charges of espionage and drug trafficking."

LOL

but perhaps I should not laugh too much. This is typical behavior for the EU candidate member states. This is just fine with the EU. This Serbian spirit was awarded just 1 month ago by EU.

"It will be seen in the coming days what is looks like when reciprocal measures are being introduced," the minister concluded.

Reciprocal measures: Arrest all Albanians who try to enter Serbia with a Kosovo passport. Because owning a Kosovo passport is a clear sign of obstructing the Serbian state and constitution and is insulting Serbdom, all horrible crimes that cannot stay unpunished. :)

By saying the above, Dacic openly admits that these two Albanians were arrested in phony charges, especially "Espionage".

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

NO, it could also mean that up till now they were turning a blind eye to some activity as not to upset the apple cart. EU clearly doesn't want your criminal behaviour interrupted.

Hmmm, a "Kosova"* government spy and a drug dealer. I wonder what they have in common?

I can understand Dacic to a point. They were watching these people and didn't arrest them so as not to escalate the situation in KiM. However, since the drug dealers in Pristina have finally upset Mr Dacic, he has (for election purposes) decided to take action.

I can see our Albanian friends here getting their knickers in a knot over this.

drugs AND espionage. must be more operation spider from slobo's time...

To brate! Najzad! vrati im. Return the favour for those Albanian criminals for their arrests of innocent Serbian civilians!

If anybody wants to know the definition of politically motivated arrests, just take a close look to Dacic's actions. It is hard to make it more obvious. He even admitted it. Not very clever..

Well, maybe one was arrested on charges of espionage and the other on charges of drug trafficking. That sentence can be parsed that way. However, the crazy part is that in Serbia apparently spies from foreign countries and drug traffickers are let free to roam until their home country does something that goes against Serbia's political interests. Or until the other country starts arresting Serbs, does not matter why. This is the image Dacic is giving of Serbia at least.

Is this really what is happening? Arresting someone because of a crime should happen anyway, arresting someone as a 'reciprocal' gesture is kidnap and therefore criminal.

I suspect that the report is not getting at the real truth - either that or someone in authoritiy is being stupid and needs to be sacked.

As for the vote - it should go ahead, and anyone guilty of interfering with the vote should be arrested. If that means arresting 'Kosova' police then so be it.

Stand by for an escalation of asserted democratic representation.

I do think that it is time to stamp out this attempted udi. It is a load of rubbish and and evil racist invention.

but perhaps I should not laugh too much. This is typical behavior for the EU candidate member states. This is just fine with the EU. This Serbian spirit was awarded just 1 month ago by EU.
(ben, 28 March 2012 18:09)

Yes, fighting drugs and drug trafficking is indeed an requirement for future EU members. Means: A lot to do for the place that is the drug paradise and main hub for drugs in Europe called Kosovo* where even the highest officials have connections to drug mafia clans.

I don't think it is the Albanians you should be interested in. For a country to publicl admit that they arrested individuals based on their ethnicity and in "retalitation" would play bigger in the international market than here.
If someone wants to play it in the EU it could bring to a halt for quite some time any talks there. It would also probably set off a campaign against a human rights abuser seeking presidency of the UNGA. Serbia may have to come up with huge concessions for this to pass over.
To have arrested them would have been a none issue but in saying it was in retaliation makes it a big issue.
However should no one really believe that or want to pursue it, it could be swept under the rug. After all if this IS a known drug dealer, there is not much sympathy, as far as the espionage thing, I really can't see anyone wanting to spy on Serbia, what is said today changes tomorrow.

Well I think it's telling if drug traffickers are only arrested in a tit-for-tat measure. Why were they being allowed to operate in Serbia outside of this? Albanian drug traffickers, criminals and even their war criminals have been and are operating in Serbia and Serbia is generally so passive.

(miri, 28 March 2012 17:26)


We asked who in their right mind would kill innocents to sell organs? who is sick enough to come up with that for an idea?
answer: the same albos that just got picked up for espionage and drug trafficking.

""If somebody wishes to compete in arrests, we have our answer. It's shameful that the international community is turning a blind eye on this, it's shameful that people who have committed no crime are being arrested, and it begs the question of the manner in which (Kosovo dialogue) agreements are being implemented," said the minister."

Wow, the Minister is arresting people who have committed no crime just for the sake of reciprocity... I thought it was only Thaci who was a thug, but apparently I was wrong.

I'm so sorry mr minister that Thaci broke your heart. I'm sure he'll come back and everything will be like before. Since you are so brave, why don't you go yourself to send the elections materials? I think that all these words and arrests of our intelectuals is done from you just to get some extra votes before the elections.

I really don't know why Albanians are so upset about this. Do they consider drug dealers to be an integral part of their society and culture, because that's who Dacic arrested. He's not even being "reciprocal". He's arresting people who ACTUALLY COMMITTED A CRIME, unlike the Kosovo* authorities that seem to arrest any Serb within their line of sight. If Dacic really wanted to be reciprocal, he'd order the arrest of any ordinary Albanian on trumped up charges as well. I'm not sure why he suddenly needs to use cases of ordinary Serbs arrested in Kosovo to arrest known Albanian criminals. If Kosovo* didn't arrest Serbian postmen and election officials, would Serbia continue to allow Albanian criminals to walk free?

Balkan Anthropologist, 29 March 2012 14:03)
Get real you open with you don't understand why this bothers Albanians and then you go into you don't know why Dacic references arresting of Serbs. Read the headline the whole emphasis of Serbia is not on whether these individuals should have been arrested but the fact that they WERE arrested simply because they were ALBANIAN, the implication here is that were they not they would not have been arrested.

Balkan Anthropologist.

Serbian propaganda will fail this time, because your minister has stated the reason why they are arrested, the dwo Albanian citizens they are both very loving and respected by the socity they live nearby.

"Did you arrest these individuals on suspicion of espionage and drug trafficking OR to get even with Thaqi?"

Did it ever occured to you that it might be both?


"This is bad politics!
(metrod, 28 March 2012 21:42)"

Not from the view point that 2 can play the same game .......

"The two ethnic Albanians arrested at Končulj, meanwhile, have bee identified as Hasan Abazi and Adem Useli. They were detained on charges of espionage and drug trafficking."

Let me get this straight....I can't believe this but anyway, if the arrest of 4 Serbs wouldn't had happened these two individuals would be allright then? right? because according to him this was only reciprocity, can somebody see the hypocrisy here or what?!.... like always made in serbia!.

Just an FYI and a reminder why K-Alb shall never live under Serbia ever again, and why everyone else in Yugoslavia wanted nothing to do with Serbs. As always very cheap moves from Serbia.

Desperate meassures for desperate times I guess.

@drini: Like every other drug dealer, organ snatcher, murderer etc, i am sure they are very much loved by albanians. They even elect an KLA terrorist as their leader.

Really by you stating that these two albos that were arrested are very much loved and respected by your fellow albos, you're only further proving that they are guilty.

So, the Serbs left this espionage to go on for the sake of the EU ? LOL
(icj1, 30 March 2012 05:55)
===========================

Could be. You see people often allow activity to go on for various reasons including giving one enough rope.
Could be that these minnows would lead to bigger fish.
Most likely they didn't pose any real danger as they were being monitored so where is the harm?
Arresting them sends a message that Serbia knows exactly what is going on.
There could be so many reasons for letting this go on for as long as it did.

the dwo Albanian citizens they are both very loving and respected by the socity they live nearby.

Your society loves and respects a wanted drug trafficker? Ok. It's your weird culture, not mine :)

"Serbian propaganda will fail this time, because your minister has stated the reason why they are arrested, the dwo Albanian citizens they are both very loving and respected by the socity they live nearby.

@drini: Like every other drug dealer, organ snatcher, murderer etc, i am sure they are very much loved by albanians. They even elect an KLA terrorist as their leader.

Really by you stating that these two albos that were arrested are very much loved and respected by your fellow albos, you're only further proving that they are guilty.

So, the Serbs left this espionage to go on for the sake of the EU ? LOL

Could be. You see people often allow activity to go on for various reasons including giving one enough rope.
Could be that these minnows would lead to bigger fish.
Most likely they didn't pose any real danger as they were being monitored so where is the harm?
Arresting them sends a message that Serbia knows exactly what is going on.
There could be so many reasons for letting this go on for as long as it did.
