Thaci fails to secure meeting with Obama

The Pristina Crime Minister making an absolute ass of himself again. Could he please elaborate on why the EU should pressure these 5 countries to recognize an independent Albanian Kosovo? What do they get out of it? They don't go along with the US/Brussels, Snake, they respect the territorial integrity of sovereign states, something the US/Brussels tramples on. Besides, Snake, maybe they don't want you in the EU, ever, and are making a statement?

There's a word that you Albanians need to learn - reintegration. Not only will the 5 mentioned EU country's not recognise Kosovo, but with time, others will withdraw their recognition.

The US and EU are seeing you for what you are and are waiting for the right excuse to pull out support in favour of the rightful sovereign state - Serbia.

It's just a matter of time!

"Avoiding a direct answer to the question about human organ trafficking, Thaci just added that the Priština authorities had excellent cooperation with EULEX and added that he believed in justice and truth."

Yes, they are so really excellent that EULEX investigates against and arrested several of these 'Pristina authorities'. But I find it funny to call the relationship between police and some gangster groups 'cooperation' :)

Thaci said that Brussels should do more to persuade those countries (Romania, Spain, Greece, Slovakia, and Cyprus) to change their stand and recognize Kosovo's independence.

B92

More than 4 years have elapsed since Kosovo's illegal UDI and I recall the Albo trolls on this site insinuating that recognition by the 5 EU countries was just a matter of time only to find out that nothing has changed since then.I can only speak for Greece and Cyprus and I know both countries are one on the Kosovo issue.All the Albos talk about US and EU pressure is just wishful thinking.Greece does not take any pressure anymore by the Americans, and from what it seems EU really doesn't give a toss about kosovo.

Keep dreaming Noriega

You can only speak for Greece and Cyprus? Wow, hyou really must have a big ego to appoint yourself spokesman for ONLY Greece and Cyprus. p.s. bizarre that someone who comes from the land of Plato, Democritus, Aristotle etc should not know that you're not actually speaking for anyone, only yourself.

As for Greece not taking orders from anyone, have you not read the news lately?
(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 13:27)

Keep trolling your nonsensical rants Nicole.The Greeks in Greece and Cyprus are one on the Kosovo issue and no government of any persuasion will dare to change the status quo.As for taking orders this is more applicable to Nato protectorate called Kosovo.

Our friend, roberto, has returned from his middle school spring break with his usual cr p like,

'... and jeremic is just another 2-bit Balkan demagogue -- excuse me, a harvard educated 2-bit demagogue'

Gee, that is just like roberto who is just another a 2-bit transplanted San Fransisco liberal -- excuse me, a college educated, wanna be 2-bit (self-proclaimed) journalist.

excuse me, a college educated, wanna be 2-bit (self-proclaimed) journalist.

What makes you think he is college educated? Reading his attempt at journalism (or at least trying to), I bet his first draft was written with crayons in kiddy school.

I see Pristina separatists are keeping telling Bruxelles that EU leadership should do this and that, and also they are keen to give indications to other EU countries how they should manage their own international relations... As Romanian, I am amused. We needed some time in order to understand how EU system works, to use it properly (see our recent dealings with Serbia, on the issue of Serbian citizens of Romanian/Vlach identity...). I wonder how much time Kosovars will need to discover that their pressures are giving no result (at least in Romania, I don't know for the other 4 EU countries). But, by all means, please, keep it up, it makes us to seem important.

The time will tell is Kosovo be accepted in EU as a separate country or joint with Albania. The four weakest links "choice".
(EA, 6 April 2012 13:47)

Interesting concept EA. So KiM will include Albania? Now that will make one large province!

And who are you, Roberto, to name call a diplomat from Serbia. Vuk has more class, education, and ability in his little finger, than you can even dream of having. Tell us your credentials, Frisco boy, and let's see if your petty comments should be respected? Or maybe, if Vuk was involed in organ-harvesting, you would respect him more?

"I wonder how many here are actually aware of the fact that Thaci himself was NOT implicated in the organ trafficing allegation. In fact, Mr Marty's own words were that he never said Thaci was involved, only that its highly unlikely he didn't know of it. "
(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 12:01)

Since Thaci spent most of his time in Switzerland, it's indeed unlikely that he was involved personally. But for the same reason, you can call Milosevic 'innocent', he never killed anyone in person. But it's unlike that he didn't know about the crimes committed by his army (or maybe he even ordered it). This is likely in case of Thaci, too, having in mind that his mafia clan operated any kind of 'business' (drug, human trafficking, extortion of Kosovo Albanians living abroad to pay some 'tax' for the 'independence fight' and so on) to get money.

LOL it's pretty sad to see how low roberto has fallen that he now defends mafia kingpins of the Albanian criminal elite since it's part of his larger need at smearing anything Serbian. I hear Pristina hired another US lobbyist to spin positive stories about them with a $50,000 a month salary. Did you take that offer friscy? You're good at bending reality and dancing around the truth, not to mention your pseudo journalistic articles on albaniapress.com should make you a shoe in since you're desperate for attention and recognition. I'd say you're the Albanian and Bosnian equivalent to John Bosnitch, but his name at least comes up in a Google search :)

As for Thaci, I have to be honest and say I love that little idiot. I really do. He's done more to keep Kosovo a Third World Borat-country than any Serb with his stupid statements, laughable defense, and complete dependence on the US for support and protection. I hope he lives another 50 years and Kosovo* "prospers" under the shadow of his enormous villa :)

I hear Obama refused to meet with him today. Good for your Barak!

Who is the real Hashim “Snake” Thaci?
Thaci?http://dalje.com/en-world/who-is-hashim-snake-thaci/125467

I wonder how many here are actually aware of the fact that Thaci himself was NOT implicated in the organ trafficing allegation. In fact, Mr Marty's own words were that he never said Thaci was involved, only that its highly unlikely he didn't know of it. Now, you can interpret this any way you wish, but perhaps those so quick to smear Thaci (for whom I have very little time) should read Marty's report and his own statement. I watched an interview with Jermeic that he gave to Cahrlie Rose and guess what he said regarding this. His own words were 'We're not saying it happened, we just believe it did', which is a really interesting position to hold. Essentially its the same as me saying to someone 'I'm not saying that you're a murderer, I just believe you are'. I do not have to justidy this opinion, I do not have to prove I marely have to believe it and there's not much you can do about it. So again, those quick to call Thaci an organ steeler, Marty himself, the one who has as of yet not disclosed any eveidence has NOT implicated Thaci in this.

interesting, I agree with Kengur, someone who I haven´t noticed before in here, but that´s just what I think too.

@EA, the k-albanian dreamer: you will have to be patient, very patient, because Serbia will rise again. and you will be let down by your "friend", the " one and only global super-power" ..as one rather simple k-albanian once has called the US-occupiers in southern Serbia.

yours is it to wait. you can do nothing more than to sit by and watch, since the acting parties are foreign powers and Serbia. you k-albanian, are only objects of our political actions, we are subjects. perhaps you won´t understand the difference between them, but ...I can tell you, all will be fine. and you will peaceful with Serbs in Serbia, or you will leave for Albania, if you do not wish to coexist with others.

that will be your choice, and the US won´t have the means to prevent that.

it is only a question of time. and Serbia is there, waiting for the hour to come.

Serbia will prevail.

I hear Obama refused to meet with him today. Good for your Barak! Balkan Anthropologist
Honestly, would you meet with a terrorist criminal if you were a president, of any nation (besides) Albania? Thaci is only out with his hand extended, palm up, and has nothing to offer. All aboard the American free ride, everyone, just say you want to build a democratic state - but you don't really have to mean it.

"Thaci said that the Belgrade authorities were working on tarnishing the image of Kosovo."

Oh please! Take some responsibility for once you hypocrite. Is it Belgrade who is desecrating Serbian churches and graveyeards? Is it Belgrade who is attacking Serbs in Kosovo? Thaci and his pathetic gang of clowns is a dissgrace. No wonder Obama, nor any Europen country for that matter, want anything to do with Thaci. What's even more amazing is all the albanian trolls here who actually support this fool.

@lili... its hilarious to see you and other "bold" Albos writing comments on Serbian sites constantly. Fact of the matter is Serbia's southern province could be controlled in a matter of days if it came down to it. Anyone and everyone knows that. Thaci would have to evacuate so fast, he would forget the organs he has in the freezer downstairs. Point is this.. there are deals. Deals that carry over from government to government.. part of policy. Thaci is going to lose his support in the long run. He, nor any other albo politician are going to be able to bring anything new to the table. As the picture unfolds..this will slowly turn. And if Serbs wanted to get rid of the albos.. they would..trust me. they stood up to the Turks

no photo ops this time, a bad sign for Thaci, I guess they think he might go down and don't want to be caught shaking hands with a man who might soon be labeled a war criminal/gangster/drug dealer/human trafficker/fraudster/blackmailer...well at least he doesn't throw stones at old ladies on buses.

You tried and you failed in 1912 1990s so stop it. You did not stand up t Turks ok you lost battles and the signed a treaty to pay tax to Turks read up Vojvodina.

Also hungary can take over Hungary any time they like oh not majority of Vojvodina is Serbs I am sure you think of it right away. Kosovo should go to Serbia moment they give Hungary to Hungary.

Serbia can not take Kosovo if they could they would do it, tell me tough guy why dont you do it you clearly say you stood up to Turks why dont you stand up and go fight in Kosovo, you could not stand up to Croats let alone Turks.

Would you go fight down in Kosovo or just want neighbors son to go there.
(Bilbao, 6 April 2012 17:25)



you albanians are so funny maybe you should read and study history then post. we beat the turks and we were out numberd in the final battle 10 to 1 and we won, in the first world war we won the second world war we won in the end , against croatia we did win but the world stopped it and made the serbs leave not from the war. serbs and croats today are moving foward where you albanians live in the past and your not illyrians and thats been proven.now for albanians you lost to the turks and converted when you were all orthodox so that shows your weakness. you lost and were under control from the germans and itaians in both world wars so again shows your weakness. in macedonia you started a war with them and you lost and in preshovo valley you lost in a week and in kosovo you got beat bad and you started the war in our province so again and again you lost and showed weakness but cried very fast to the world where the serbs fought and never cried to any one in history and today so you keep talking of fake stories... now tell me where are these big albanian warriors lol and skanderbeg was NOT albanian he is of serbian and greek ancestors and these were all proven so you have a statue of a greek-serb in tirrana lol and albania is not even your land it was given for you to live on it was also greek-serbian lands ...

Nikolle- you are deluded. If it looks like a dog, walks like a dog and smells like a dog, itt is probably a dog. Your defence of a known terrorist and narco criminal puts you in the same boat. Shame on you.

(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 14:17)

Greece could've stopped the bombing of Serbia in the same manner that Turkey managed to stop Nato's bombing of Libya.Remember that Turkey had contracts and investments in Libya in the region of $30 billion and was unwilling to support any operations by Nato fearing that its investments will go up in smoke.We all know what happened.

I have said many times before that Greece was in a financial mess but since that is the case have you ever wondered why Albanians are still coming in droves into a bankrupt country?Why not stay in prosperous Albania?I bet you have the answers.

When will Serb President walk in the White House, since Thaci has been there few times.
(Agim Kelmendi, 6 April 2012 17:00)

When will Thaci walk in Brussels? Tadic goes there all the time since Serbia is in Europe. Thaci goes to Washington more because he knows Europe wants nothing to do with him and America is his only friend. Too bad even Obama wants nothing to do with him and even Biden yelled at him.

Prime Minister of Kosovo is invited to hold talks with the leaders of the free world.
(KOSO, 6 April 2012 18:11)

LOL When was the last time he was in Brussels or any other European capital? European leaders don't want to associate with him. He had to run out to Pristina airport just to talk with Merkel who came to Kosovo last year to speak with her own troops in KFOR. He's an embarrasment to be with, which is why Obama didn't want to be with him and Biden didn't want to record the meeting. Better to go only a few times to Washington and be greeted as a statesman than invite yourself to the White House and then get blown off like an ugly date :)

Thanks, Roger, for the link, but people here know who and what Thaci was and is, only the Albanci here keep their heads in their butts, and will not acknowledge who and what this criminal is. And on top of that, they demand some sort of respect, funny. I would be ashamed if my people were represented by an organ-harvesting mafioso.

It is a paradox tha the four weakest links of EU are trying to abuse their position. I mean four because Greece and Cyprus are one, Cyprus is a town country anyway.

EA

Have you ever been to Cyprus? As someone who's been both to Cyprus and Albania I can honestly say that Albania will need more than 100 years to reach the living standards of the Greek Cypriots.As to your jibe about Cyprus being a town country my answer is that you haven't go a clue about geography.

"Thaci fails to secure meeting with Obama"

What a joke!

“Numerous accusations have been leveled at me, but they all come to nothing. No one can change the independence of Kosovo which suffered genocide,” the Kosovo prime minister stressed.

As usual, this gentleman connects the accusations against his person with Kosovo. Why is it so hard to realize that an alleged criminal like you is nothing but a burden for Kosovo as a state and Kosovo would do much better without persons like you (and your buddies) in power, Mr. Thaci?

(EA, 6 April 2012 20:07)

I know Agioi Saranda EA and I have visited the place since is the home to Greek minority who had their land and properties confiscated by thief Berisha.But the time will come when Albania will start EU negotiations(if the EU is still around) and then Albania will have to give every acre of land back.Make no mistake about that.

As to your timing of 10 years of Albania catching up with Cyprus I am afraid that you cannot achieve this with stolen cars from all over Europe and Donkeys wandering on the streets.

I think economic pressure, and political pressure are two different things. If austerity measures are demanded of a nation by world lending organizations, otherwise no more loans, that is quite a different thing from imposing political pressure on a country to act in a certain way. If Greece really bowed to the EU's demands, then it would have recognized an independent Albanian KiM, but it has not, and will not in the future. I think Nicolle and others are mixing up politics and economics. And please, an Albanian from Kosovo lecturing someone on demands from other nations, please.

@ Albanians

Yes we are No 1 cos we got USA.
(Mendo, 6 April 2012 21:40)
==============================

NO, they got you.

“Numerous accusations have been leveled at me, but they all come to nothing. No one can change the independence of Kosovo which suffered genocide,” the Kosovo prime minister stressed.

I am certainly certain that those present in the room know what the meaning of the word genocide is. I am as
equally certain that the uneducated "former" leader of the KLA human organ harvesters and narco terrorists, Mr. Thaci --aka- The Snake,who is also presently the leader of the Stillborn--doesn't !!
Anyway,as always, count you fingers and check for your watch after shaking hands with the Snake.

which must be corrected by German taxpayer money.

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

They are going to your country so that they can ruin that too.
They ruin everything they have any control over. Look at Albania and now look at Kosovo.
So they ruin everything they are a sizable population in if given the chance. Better close border to them now.
As for Serbia, it's too late. Too many already in. Such a shame.

Serbia won't join the EU until it makes real peace with its neighbors. And real peace means full recognition, by Serbia and the 5 EU states. There is no alternative.

no photo ops this time, a bad sign for Thaci, I guess they think he might go down and don't want to be caught shaking hands with a man who might soon be labeled a war criminal/gangster/drug dealer/human trafficker/fraudster/blackmailer...well at least he doesn't throw stones at old ladies on buses.

Why 'soon be labeled'? This label is attached to him for decades, even in old CIA files about him.

Leonidas

You can only speak for Greece and Cyprus? Wow, hyou really must have a big ego to appoint yourself spokesman for ONLY Greece and Cyprus. p.s. bizarre that someone who comes from the land of Plato, Democritus, Aristotle etc should not know that you're not actually speaking for anyone, only yourself.

As for Greece not taking orders from anyone, have you not read the news lately?

..but Leonidas, I do not claim that Kosova doesn't take orders. We're really only as independent as the EU and US will allow us, not Serbia though. You seem to believe Greece does not bow to pressure however. Read up news on the current financial crisis that has engulfed your country and see how much it has bowed to EU pressure on austerity measures and then come back and tell me that you do not bow to pressure. Oh, I am not sure how familiar you are with NATO's chain of command, but, all it takes is ONE nation to halt a NATO campaign. In 1999, Greece, in theory, had the power to stop the bombing of what was then Yugoslavia. It did no such thing. Perhaps you want to explain that one to your Orthodox brothers in Serbia and tell them that you really do not bow to pressure. By the way, thanks for sending those troops to Kosova to keep the Serbian army out. we sure love you for it, do not know how Serbs feel however

"Well-informed sources in Washington say that the fact that the U.S. President has not received the Kosovo prime minister shows that Thaci is not welcome."
That's possible, maybe Obama has enough integrity to refuse to shake hands with a person like Thaci. With access to some old CIA reports, he knows enough about 'carreer' of this gentleman. Or it can simply mean that this fly spot on the map called Kosovo is simply not important enough for the US president.


"I mean four because Greece and Cyprus are one, Cyprus is a town country anyway. "
(EA, 6 April 2012 13:47)
Funny to read these words coming from people from a split-off wannabe 'country' called Kosovo that is not much bigger.
Cyprus: 9,251 km2 , 1,099,341 population
Kosovo: 10,908 km2, 1,733,872 population


"In the meantime Kosovo will use this time to consolidate its democracy and democratic institution to EU standards. Now for that Kosovo does NOT have to ask the four weakest links of the EU. In other words getting ready for EU by fightin crime, corruption and with the continued presence of the EU on the ground as well as KFOR. "
(EA, 6 April 2012 13:47)
It would be desirable if that happens, but I don't believe in it. During the last years, not much has improved according democracy, crime, corruption and EU standards when it comes to Kosovo. In fact, it's just the opposite, the UNMIK organized elections have been much fairer and correct than the faked and manipualted ones organized by 'Pristina authorities'. I simply don't expect any improvement as long as those criminals are in power in Kosovo.

oh yes ecoman, and if those economic pressures come from outside and you bow to them, then you're bowing to outside pressure. by the way, are you going to tell me that Japan, the 3rd biggest economy in the world could not resist US pressure, but nearly bankrupt Greece can? if you really believe that, then I doubt even Jesus's mythical powers could help you
(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 16:16)

So you come on this site and "claim" that you are an Oxford professor and I am all smart,and look at me go,and all this and that, and you write this: Jesus's?
Even I know that that aint right,and I learned most of my reading and writing in the penitentiary.
BTW Jenny, Jesus' powers were not mythical--Kosovo independence is.

Don't be naive my dear Albanians. The fact that Obama did not meet Thaci is a slap in a face.

The question is why???

Forget the busy week that Obama had. President of US does not agree to meet a foreign PM and then say ‘oh sorry I'm bit tired as I had to visit a primary school this morning, can't meet you’.

In my opinion this is serious warning to Thaci himself that:

1. the fight of corruption and the democratic achievements are not at desirable level (this has most probably been said by Biden);
2. some 'unauthorized' actions such as arrests of Serbian MUP and start of dismantling of Serbian parallel structures, in US is viewed as unnecessary actions that can destabilize the region while US does not need that as it has serious problems in A-stan and soon with Iran (repeated by Clinton and Biden);
3. I don’t want to meet you as that would put a bad light on Tadic’s election campaign and I don’t want to favour Nikolic (Biden and Clinton have explained to Thaci why their boss cannot meet him);
4. meeting you could be abused by the Christian fascists in the upcoming US presidential elections as the case initiated by Dick Marty has not finished;

I hope that Thaci had the wisdom to reject categorically the 2, 3 and 4, but have serious doubts on that.

I am afraid that the KGB and UDB-a’s well planned and executed political assassination of Thaci has succeeded. Thaci’s presence in Bruxels few months ago gave me some hope but it seems i was worng. I’m sure that behind the doors they all sympathise with Thaci but in public international leaders are prudent in shaking his hand.

...after all Thaci has very limited intellectual capacities thus his departure from the politics can and most likely will be beneficial for Kosova... who knowns...

"As a K-Alb I don't like Mr Thaci myself but without proof you cannot accuse him of those crimes."
--------------
Haven't you accused Milosevic and others Serbian political/military leaders of war time without proof just because you want to believe they committed crimes?

I wonder how many here are actually aware of the fact that Thaci himself was NOT implicated in the organ trafficing allegation. In fact, Mr Marty's own words were that he never said Thaci was involved, only that its highly unlikely he didn't know of it. Now, you can interpret this any way you wish, but perhaps those so quick to smear Thaci (for whom I have very little time) should read Marty's report and his own statement.

thanks nikolle -- with all the cr-p that passes as wisdom on this site, yr observations and contributions are much appreciated.

it was very different here, once upon a time...

and jeremic is just another 2-bit Balkan demagogue -- excuse me, a harvard educated 2-bit demagogue.

thanks!

I know the end game. As it stands Kosovo can nothing do but ask for recognition and try to convince that the recognition will contribute the peace and stability.

It is a paradox tha the four weakest links of EU are trying to abuse their position. I mean four because Greece and Cyprus are one, Cyprus is a town country anyway.

What I think is going to happen, Serbia will be forced to recognise Kosovo independence before dreaming to join the EU. In the meantime Kosovo will use this time to consolidate its democracy and democratic institution to EU standards. Now for that Kosovo does NOT have to ask the four weakest links of the EU. In other words getting ready for EU by fightin crime, corruption and with the continued presence of the EU on the ground as well as KFOR.

In the meantime Albanian hopefully will make more steady and faster steps to join EU...At present there are not territorial claims at least not yet officially.

The time will tell is Kosovo be accepted in EU as a separate country or joint with Albania. The four weakest links "choice".

We Albanians are very patient and welcome any of the two choices....}}}}

Comm. Parrisson

Yesd, I am very familiar with the allegations that sorround the KLA. Funnily enough, they haven't been proven, not by any credible organisation anyway, but, we'll leave that for now. Let me go back to Thaci for a moment. Mr Marty himself, has not accused Thaci of being privy to this alleged organ snatching. Nor has he said that he benifited himself financially from it. The only thing he has done, is hazard a guess on the laws of probability, basically it goes like this, he was one of the more prominent KLA players therefore he MUST have known. That is all he has said. Now, you can make anything you want out of this, but, it seems Marty has said, with this particular crime, Thaci has nothing to do with it. He did not profit from it, he was not a player in it. So, those who call Thaci an organ snatcher really should think before commenting.
Now, I ask you to watch an interview Jeremic gave to Charlie Rose, where he pressed this issue. Jeremic's own words were that he does not say crimes of this nature occured, but he believes they did. What does this mean? Well, he has doubts in his own minds, which is why he doesn't commit. Not my words, not the words of some powerful Albanian lobby group, no, the words of Serbia's own foreign minister. If he is so sure that these type of atrocities occured, he should not be reserved should he? So make out pof that what you will

oh yes ecoman, and if those economic pressures come from outside and you bow to them, then you're bowing to outside pressure. by the way, are you going to tell me that Japan, the 3rd biggest economy in the world could not resist US pressure, but nearly bankrupt Greece can? if you really believe that, then I doubt even Jesus's mythical powers could help you

it is always fun to read commentors like jovan!Reallyboy ,you still think that what youwill achieve what you have failed to do during 1000years? You wanted to exterminate albanians for centuries,and you always failed as the creation of albania and now kosova proves it!

It's not a big deal. First, Obama is busy, second, Thaci met Biden, Clinton, and many other Washington important players. By the way they all promised him continued support for Kosovo, and help to join EU and NATO.

German tax payers? I bet.

(ben, 6 April 2012 23:26)

The limited intellectual capacities are a smaller problem than his criminal connections. The problem with a 'departure of Thaci from politics' is: There is not a single honorable politician in Kosovo that has support amongst the people. The biggest opposition are national extremists (comparable to Serbian radicals) hiding behind the name of 'self determination movement'. A real democratic and honorable party leader (like Rugova has been) is missing, nowaday.

isn´t it interesting how quick our dear k-albanian friends are letting their heroes down, just because they seem not to be so glorious winner-types as they wished them to be?

I mean, some K-albanian, I think it was "Ben", if I remember it well, wrote about Mr.Touchy´s limited intellectual capacities! wow.... my dear Ben, you should worry about completely other things, I´d say.

even if you had another Einstein amongst you, you wouldn´t succeed in your stupid greater albanain illusion!

time works for Serbia, and I think all of the relevant factors know that, except the K-albanian internet-experts who are constantly chest-beating on B92´s website.

this is only one little brick in the wall ...and there will be many more. you will lose. and Serbia will prevail.

just a question of time.


and Touchy is unimportant. he will end up behind bars or end his lousy thug-life in the mud of some of Priština´s sideroads... you will need new "leaders" anyway, when the time has come to cooperate with the serbian government.

but the bottomline of this article above is that you can clearly see what you can expect of your k-albanian yellow-press down there in southern Serbia. they announce a meeting between the US-president and the "president" of "kosovaaaah" , ...but in essence it is just a laughable episode in this comedy that you call "independence"...

Serbia will prevail.
(Jovan, 6 April 2012 15:47)

How do you came to that conclusion...and talk a lot of C...P.

Do you think that with time Yugoslavia will be back or Soviet Union...? Which part of the world do you live...? Talk sense next time otherwise a health check will be needed.

No Jeff, Dr Marty himself, the man who is a hero here, did not implicate Thaci in the organ snatching allegation. So if you have an issue, take it up with him, no one is going to stop you

then with Vice President Joseph Biden.

The meeting with Biden was in the White House. Never knew that US VP had /has its office in Capital Hill.
When will Serb President walk in the White House, since Thaci has been there few times.

I have never read something so hilarious in my life. The fact that Thaci did not get to meet with Obama shows he is not welcome. He met with Clinton and she committed our full support to Kosovo, then he went on to meet with Biden.
Don't know if any of you have focused on the news in the US but the last week has been a very very busy one for Obama.
And then the report that Biden and Thaci met behind closed doors with no press but Tanjug reports "The U.S. vice president also reportedly condemned latest attacks on Serb Orthodox churches and monasteries in Kosovo"
If they met behind closed doors, how would anyone know what was said.
This is pure desperation my dear people, pure and simple.

I have said many times before that Greece was in a financial mess but since that is the case have you ever wondered why Albanians are still coming in droves into a bankrupt country?Why not stay in prosperous Albania?I bet you have the answers.
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 18:22)

That was during the times where Fakelakistan was still feasting on a EU aid (funds, subsidies, stealing, etc) comprising around 1/3 Trillion Euro. Now, when we see the Greek economy is contracting back to state where it belongs, more and more Albanians return to their home country, since Albania's economy is growing and growing, while each Fakelaki tries to leaves his "beloved" country, most of them to Switzerland, Germany, etc. where the Fakelaki has already sent his money, leaving Fakelakistan in a mess which must be corrected by German taxpayer money.

Haven't you accused Milosevic and others Serbian political/military leaders of war time without proof just because you want to believe they committed crimes?
(aaayyy, 7 April 2012 15:33)

I guess they didn't have proof for Hitler and Stslin either? There are things in this world where you can't just put an equal sign because that would be so convenient for you.

-Whoever is prime minister of Kosova the Serbs are going to bad mouth. You guys have that inat deep inside your gut that makes you irrational loudmouths.

I said so much right after the Albanians announced this great meeting. Let me repeat that statement – the old Hilary and another minor official. And boy I certainly wasn’t wrong he also met with Captain numb nuts, Joe Biden, the dumbest homo sapien on two legs in the 21 century.
Now considering it would have only taken a couple of minutes to meet up with Hashish Thaci Obama passed up that chance. In the world of politics this is a snub considering Hashish is a US appointment.
The world is a changing boys, but you Albanians are not listening just flapping your gums as if we were in 1999.

I think economic pressure, and political pressure are two different things. If austerity measures are demanded of a nation by world lending organizations, otherwise no more loans, that is quite a different thing from imposing political pressure on a country to act in a certain way. If Greece really bowed to the EU's demands, then it would have recognized an independent Albanian KiM, but it has not, and will not in the future. I think Nicolle and others are mixing up politics and economics. And please, an Albanian from Kosovo lecturing someone on demands from other nations, please.
(ecoman, 6 April 2012 16:02)

Ecoman,
In a perfect world, you might be right, but taking this view right now is incredibly naive. Why do you think the EU and USA (and China, and Russia, and every other large country/entity) spend billions of dollars each year around the world? Is it to make the world a better place and make everyone smile? Nice to think so, but of course not... They spend money to exert (or buy or sometimes coerce) political influence. I am not defending this, mind you, just stating that this is the harsh reality of the world we live in. Economic influence = political influence, and to apply political pressure, economic pressure is often the most convenient tool.

ecoman

you know you've lost the argument when you pick on typos.

Leonidas

if you know anything about NATO's charter, you'd realize that ALL member states had to agree to the bombing of Yugoslavia. Greece marely had to oppose it and that'd have been that. explain that one to your brothers in Serbia. Pressure? or cowardice.

Fact, Thaqi was never Charged with any off this crimes you all (Serb side)are professing, Iam not crazy about his leadership but he has what Millosevic , Karadzic and some others did not , A pair off you know what, he was inside Kosovo all the time during a war fighting along side his soldiers.There are some here who talk so much trash about Northern Kosovo and how Albanians dont Have again you know what to go and take the Serbs on, let me remind you it was French KFOR troops that saved you and stoped Albanians from crossing the Bridge if you think otherwise let KFOR move out of the way and we shall see. I feel bad for lot of Serbs because they used to have a good number off educated people that recognized Albanians as equals, unfortunately the had to leave Belgrade and other Cosmopolitan areas because Millosevic and his Cronies brought Charlatans and Peasents in power and even the ones leading today are from that group.Having said what I just did I hope that Serbia and its people will recognize Kosovo as indepandent Country and no I do not want another war butt if you are itching for it (game on)

@leonidas,let me tell you few facts about your yunnanistan my friend,we moved over there since the communist system fall in 90s,we got there better educated better health&better people,we worked hard in your country&did do lots of good to your 3world country people.let me tell you that greece is only 5%greeks and they are mostly mixture of lots of breeds themselfs.we never where treated fair in human way but i think we got the message&soon lots left from your famous ultra nationalist orthodox mullah run country.everywhere there is fakelaki&the whole greek nation are grumpy arab model people that are lazy&they love stealing the tax system you got there.its a joke nation that if it was to joing the EU today would never happend.greece is the lazy nation of europe where most man have cool cars a bar wife& misstres a smoking habit ,but not decent taxpayer citizens .half of their kulture in north of greece is of albanian origin &its a country where minority are represt&dont have any rights.looks like you not in better shape than albanians now my friend.you are conns thieves&the laughing nation of europe.the only nation in europe that belong to IMF.gd luck fighting for potatos these days.greece a nation where 45%cant even read the 1st page of newspaper.keep milking the EU as you know best keep licking the germans.stop protending you are big nation or economy as you are not,all you make is souflaki&yogourt&moaning allday long.keep licking the serbs as you may end up going to work there,cos anywhere else in europe you are seen as dourios ipos.or in plain english,con-nation

@ Serbs

As a K-Alb I don't like Mr Thaci myself but without proof you cannot accuse him of those crimes.

@ Leonidas

Sort your dead economy then come and teach us something.

@ Romanians

Sort your Roma community first cos they are disturbing all of Europe.

@ Albanians

Yes we are No 1 cos we got USA.

A statement released by Thaci's office notes that Biden congratulated him on his courage in making "important decisions which are in the interest of Kosovo".

That's so lame. It's like saying, "nice job breathing".

I bet The Snake is musing some of these lyrics after being brushed off by Obama:

There's somethin happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there.
Telling me I got to beware.

I think it's time we stop,children,what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down.....

Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your life it will creep.
It starts when you're always afraid.
You step out of line, the man come and take you away.

I think it's time we stop,children,what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down....

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.....

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound...

@lili... its hilarious to see you and other "bold" Albos writing comments on Serbian sites constantly. Fact of the matter is Serbia's southern province could be controlled in a matter of days if it came down to it. Anyone and everyone knows that. Thaci would have to evacuate so fast, he would forget the organs he has in the freezer downstairs. Point is this.. there are deals. Deals that carry over from government to government.. part of policy. Thaci is going to lose his support in the long run. He, nor any other albo politician are going to be able to bring anything new to the table. As the picture unfolds..this will slowly turn. And if Serbs wanted to get rid of the albos.. they would..trust me. they stood up to the Turks
(Momcilo-Vojvodo, 6 April 2012 16:43)

You tried and you failed in 1912 1990s so stop it. You did not stand up t Turks ok you lost battles and the signed a treaty to pay tax to Turks read up Vojvodina.

Also hungary can take over Hungary any time they like oh not majority of Vojvodina is Serbs I am sure you think of it right away. Kosovo should go to Serbia moment they give Hungary to Hungary.

Serbia can not take Kosovo if they could they would do it, tell me tough guy why dont you do it you clearly say you stood up to Turks why dont you stand up and go fight in Kosovo, you could not stand up to Croats let alone Turks.

Would you go fight down in Kosovo or just want neighbors son to go there.

Prime Minister of Kosovo is invited to hold talks with the leaders of the free world. What is Serbia's president doing? Nothing, he's probably home watching cartoons and eating cereal.

Everyone forgets that Great USA built the biggest base (Bondsteel)in Europe since the second warld war and USA does not do anything short term.There are number of FSK officers being trainedand groomed in our Military bases to be future military leaders and in not to far off future we will supply KOSOVO military with the best equipment we have, that Mr winston is not to attack Sebia or any neghbouring country but to make this Countries Think not once or twice butt many times over before a missadventure since this time neighbours will not be fighting unarmed Man, Elderly people, woman and kids but modern Military machine from the Nation that gave Rome and Bizantine most of it famus Emperors, Gave its Saviors to Turkey(Mustafa Kemal Ataturk) and Egypt(Mehmet Ali Pasha) , gave Greece Freedom from Turkey( Arvanitis and Suliotes)gave the world Alexander the Great(dont forget he was not allowed to take part in Olympic games because he was Barbarian/ Ilirian/Albanian) And Pirrua among many others, no this equipment will be given to keep peace but at the same time to give warning to anyone that wants to start another war.I know that Winston , Ecoman ,Ari Gold and some others will come up with some BS but what I am writing are facts not fantasies, Ilirians are predcessors of Albanians and are together with Greeks the oldest native population , Slavs came in South East Europe in 6th And 7th Century AC from Kavkaz regions of todays Russia, Thausends of years behind Albanians these are all facts from Enciclopedia Britanica not Albanian or Serb blogs. I am not saying go back to Russia fact is you are in the region for long time now so be it, but you have to gett it in your head that if you try to do what you tried in 99 be ready to loose some more teritory , hopefully you learned a lesson and we dont have to use Graffite bombs to destroy your Electric grid to make you surender again(just a reminder).
Peace.

As to your timing of 10 years of Albania catching up with Cyprus I am afraid that you cannot achieve this with stolen cars from all over Europe and Donkeys wandering on the streets.
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 21:01)

Old jokes from a bankrupt member of Fakelakistan..
Greeco, Albania's economy was increasing the last years, even in harsher years, such as 2008. There is plenty of potential in this country. Starting with tourism and up to energy. There will be a bright future for this country once the remains of communist days and chaos are shackled away. Together with the Turkish allies which economy rockets sometimes with higher percentages than in China, there will be soon a complete change in the Southeast Europe where Fakelakistan can hope that the Olive and Cheese price rises, and of course that the Germans (your most important tourist) forget your shameless and disgraceful insults of your broken people, so that your tourism can do something. As for Albania, just have a close look to this:

why do I need to visit Cyprus when I need to explore more

Although we have a lot of work ahead of us to improve our lives.....BUT rest assured NOT 100 years as you wish....I give you 10 years. One the weakest link Cyprus has exploited and is exploiting EU aid big time. Greece is almost bankrupt how about your Cyprus....? Near there? I wish you full recovery....!

"Thaci fails to secure meeting with Obama"

"Serbia failed at defending Kosova"

Have a good day everyone!! Long live Kosova! Never let Serbian propoganda bother you and never take your eye off the prize Kosovars! You fought hard and won!

More than 4 years have elapsed since Kosovo's illegal UDI
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 13:14)

Illegal according to the Serbian law ? Well Kosovo can live with that type of illegality LOL
----------

Interesting concept EA. So KiM will include Albania? Now that will make one large province!
(Zoran, 6 April 2012 14:41)

Exactly, and in some time Albanians will be a majority in Serbia :)
-----------

Have you ever been to Cyprus? As someone who's been both to Cyprus and Albania I can honestly say that Albania will need more than 100 years to reach the living standards of the Greek Cypriots.As to your jibe about Cyprus being a town country my answer is that you haven't go a clue about geography.
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 18:27)

I’m not sure about Cyprus, but what we know is that Albania has more or less the living standards of China which is the pride of many people in these forums :)

"Exactly, and in some time Albanians will be a majority in Serbia :)"
(icj1, 7 April 2012 22:44)

you know what's really sick about you? is that your actually proud of trying to steal land. You albos are the only ones living in the middle ages. you stand up for every albanian criminal like he's a saint, you defend k-albs attacking churches and bashing old serbs when they are on their own and you guys are in groups of 3+..
I mean, all these crimes your people do and you are proud of it.
Your attitude on here is shocking. you all act like a bunch of heroes you think your comments are making a difference to the Kosovo situation. why dont you open the curtains in your little bedrooms, look outside and realise that your comments will do nothing here. You anger noone but you actually make yourselves look worse by defending all the criminals that are guilty.

Seriously please stop bothering us on this website.. i will admit you guys are annoying.. every article the comments are the same "albania is the best blah blah blah" ok good for you.. enjoy your opinion.
let me ask you all one thing. if a war breaks out how many of you will honestly go and volunteer? i'll tell you now.. none of you.. you're all probably a bunch of nerdy albo kids in western countries acting like hot shots.
Now my comment to this article.. i have no comment. i laughed when i read it because i half expected it. thaci got spat in the face by obama.. shows how "close" albania and america really are lol

"and you write this: Jesus's? "

It's ok, just more colloquial than "Jesus'" - really. Scholars use the second, but this is hardly a site for scholars. (It's really hard to hear that " ' " after an "s."

I said so much right after the Albanians announced this great meeting. Let me repeat that statement – the old Hilary and another minor official. And boy I certainly wasn’t wrong he also met with Captain numb nuts, Joe Biden, the dumbest homo sapien on two legs in the 21 century.

(sj, 8 April 2012 05:54)

I think it was Hashish Thaci that passed up that opportunity after reading your excellent analysis in B92 forums that America no longer counts in the world affairs and is close to collapse. Why waste time with the president of a country that is close to collapsing ?!

I know the end game. As it stands Kosovo can nothing do but ask for recognition and try to convince that the recognition will contribute the peace and stability.

It is a paradox tha the four weakest links of EU are trying to abuse their position. I mean four because Greece and Cyprus are one, Cyprus is a town country anyway.

What I think is going to happen, Serbia will be forced to recognise Kosovo independence before dreaming to join the EU. In the meantime Kosovo will use this time to consolidate its democracy and democratic institution to EU standards. Now for that Kosovo does NOT have to ask the four weakest links of the EU. In other words getting ready for EU by fightin crime, corruption and with the continued presence of the EU on the ground as well as KFOR.

In the meantime Albanian hopefully will make more steady and faster steps to join EU...At present there are not territorial claims at least not yet officially.

The time will tell is Kosovo be accepted in EU as a separate country or joint with Albania. The four weakest links "choice".

We Albanians are very patient and welcome any of the two choices....}}}}

I wonder how many here are actually aware of the fact that Thaci himself was NOT implicated in the organ trafficing allegation. In fact, Mr Marty's own words were that he never said Thaci was involved, only that its highly unlikely he didn't know of it. Now, you can interpret this any way you wish, but perhaps those so quick to smear Thaci (for whom I have very little time) should read Marty's report and his own statement. I watched an interview with Jermeic that he gave to Cahrlie Rose and guess what he said regarding this. His own words were 'We're not saying it happened, we just believe it did', which is a really interesting position to hold. Essentially its the same as me saying to someone 'I'm not saying that you're a murderer, I just believe you are'. I do not have to justidy this opinion, I do not have to prove I marely have to believe it and there's not much you can do about it. So again, those quick to call Thaci an organ steeler, Marty himself, the one who has as of yet not disclosed any eveidence has NOT implicated Thaci in this.

thanks nikolle -- with all the cr-p that passes as wisdom on this site, yr observations and contributions are much appreciated.

it was very different here, once upon a time...

and jeremic is just another 2-bit Balkan demagogue -- excuse me, a harvard educated 2-bit demagogue.

thanks!

Serbia won't join the EU until it makes real peace with its neighbors. And real peace means full recognition, by Serbia and the 5 EU states. There is no alternative.

Leonidas

You can only speak for Greece and Cyprus? Wow, hyou really must have a big ego to appoint yourself spokesman for ONLY Greece and Cyprus. p.s. bizarre that someone who comes from the land of Plato, Democritus, Aristotle etc should not know that you're not actually speaking for anyone, only yourself.

As for Greece not taking orders from anyone, have you not read the news lately?

..but Leonidas, I do not claim that Kosova doesn't take orders. We're really only as independent as the EU and US will allow us, not Serbia though. You seem to believe Greece does not bow to pressure however. Read up news on the current financial crisis that has engulfed your country and see how much it has bowed to EU pressure on austerity measures and then come back and tell me that you do not bow to pressure. Oh, I am not sure how familiar you are with NATO's chain of command, but, all it takes is ONE nation to halt a NATO campaign. In 1999, Greece, in theory, had the power to stop the bombing of what was then Yugoslavia. It did no such thing. Perhaps you want to explain that one to your Orthodox brothers in Serbia and tell them that you really do not bow to pressure. By the way, thanks for sending those troops to Kosova to keep the Serbian army out. we sure love you for it, do not know how Serbs feel however

Comm. Parrisson

Yesd, I am very familiar with the allegations that sorround the KLA. Funnily enough, they haven't been proven, not by any credible organisation anyway, but, we'll leave that for now. Let me go back to Thaci for a moment. Mr Marty himself, has not accused Thaci of being privy to this alleged organ snatching. Nor has he said that he benifited himself financially from it. The only thing he has done, is hazard a guess on the laws of probability, basically it goes like this, he was one of the more prominent KLA players therefore he MUST have known. That is all he has said. Now, you can make anything you want out of this, but, it seems Marty has said, with this particular crime, Thaci has nothing to do with it. He did not profit from it, he was not a player in it. So, those who call Thaci an organ snatcher really should think before commenting.
Now, I ask you to watch an interview Jeremic gave to Charlie Rose, where he pressed this issue. Jeremic's own words were that he does not say crimes of this nature occured, but he believes they did. What does this mean? Well, he has doubts in his own minds, which is why he doesn't commit. Not my words, not the words of some powerful Albanian lobby group, no, the words of Serbia's own foreign minister. If he is so sure that these type of atrocities occured, he should not be reserved should he? So make out pof that what you will

then with Vice President Joseph Biden.

The meeting with Biden was in the White House. Never knew that US VP had /has its office in Capital Hill.
When will Serb President walk in the White House, since Thaci has been there few times.

@ Serbs

As a K-Alb I don't like Mr Thaci myself but without proof you cannot accuse him of those crimes.

"Avoiding a direct answer to the question about human organ trafficking, Thaci just added that the Priština authorities had excellent cooperation with EULEX and added that he believed in justice and truth."

Yes, they are so really excellent that EULEX investigates against and arrested several of these 'Pristina authorities'. But I find it funny to call the relationship between police and some gangster groups 'cooperation' :)

The Pristina Crime Minister making an absolute ass of himself again. Could he please elaborate on why the EU should pressure these 5 countries to recognize an independent Albanian Kosovo? What do they get out of it? They don't go along with the US/Brussels, Snake, they respect the territorial integrity of sovereign states, something the US/Brussels tramples on. Besides, Snake, maybe they don't want you in the EU, ever, and are making a statement?

Fact, Thaqi was never Charged with any off this crimes you all (Serb side)are professing, Iam not crazy about his leadership but he has what Millosevic , Karadzic and some others did not , A pair off you know what, he was inside Kosovo all the time during a war fighting along side his soldiers.There are some here who talk so much trash about Northern Kosovo and how Albanians dont Have again you know what to go and take the Serbs on, let me remind you it was French KFOR troops that saved you and stoped Albanians from crossing the Bridge if you think otherwise let KFOR move out of the way and we shall see.

It's not a big deal. First, Obama is busy, second, Thaci met Biden, Clinton, and many other Washington important players. By the way they all promised him continued support for Kosovo, and help to join EU and NATO.

Serbia will prevail.

How do you came to that conclusion...and talk a lot of C...P.

Do you think that with time Yugoslavia will be back or Soviet Union...? Which part of the world do you live...? Talk sense next time otherwise a health check will be needed.

No Jeff, Dr Marty himself, the man who is a hero here, did not implicate Thaci in the organ snatching allegation. So if you have an issue, take it up with him, no one is going to stop you

(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 21:13)

LOL !! A Greeco who points with his finger regarding tax evasion. Pel, you made my day. Just for your information. Germany does its best to find those tax evader, while Greece is on fire and more and more sinking to the Aegean Sea.

oh yes ecoman, and if those economic pressures come from outside and you bow to them, then you're bowing to outside pressure. by the way, are you going to tell me that Japan, the 3rd biggest economy in the world could not resist US pressure, but nearly bankrupt Greece can? if you really believe that, then I doubt even Jesus's mythical powers could help you

it is always fun to read commentors like jovan!Reallyboy ,you still think that what youwill achieve what you have failed to do during 1000years? You wanted to exterminate albanians for centuries,and you always failed as the creation of albania and now kosova proves it!

There's a word that you Albanians need to learn - reintegration. Not only will the 5 mentioned EU country's not recognise Kosovo, but with time, others will withdraw their recognition.

The US and EU are seeing you for what you are and are waiting for the right excuse to pull out support in favour of the rightful sovereign state - Serbia.

It's just a matter of time!

I have never read something so hilarious in my life. The fact that Thaci did not get to meet with Obama shows he is not welcome. He met with Clinton and she committed our full support to Kosovo, then he went on to meet with Biden.
Don't know if any of you have focused on the news in the US but the last week has been a very very busy one for Obama.
And then the report that Biden and Thaci met behind closed doors with no press but Tanjug reports "The U.S. vice president also reportedly condemned latest attacks on Serb Orthodox churches and monasteries in Kosovo"
If they met behind closed doors, how would anyone know what was said.
This is pure desperation my dear people, pure and simple.

@leonidas,let me tell you few facts about your yunnanistan my friend,we moved over there since the communist system fall in 90s,we got there better educated better health&better people,we worked hard in your country&did do lots of good to your 3world country people.let me tell you that greece is only 5%greeks and they are mostly mixture of lots of breeds themselfs.we never where treated fair in human way but i think we got the message&soon lots left from your famous ultra nationalist orthodox mullah run country.everywhere there is fakelaki&the whole greek nation are grumpy arab model people that are lazy&they love stealing the tax system you got there.its a joke nation that if it was to joing the EU today would never happend.greece is the lazy nation of europe where most man have cool cars a bar wife& misstres a smoking habit ,but not decent taxpayer citizens .half of their kulture in north of greece is of albanian origin &its a country where minority are represt&dont have any rights.looks like you not in better shape than albanians now my friend.you are conns thieves&the laughing nation of europe.the only nation in europe that belong to IMF.gd luck fighting for potatos these days.greece a nation where 45%cant even read the 1st page of newspaper.keep milking the EU as you know best keep licking the germans.stop protending you are big nation or economy as you are not,all you make is souflaki&yogourt&moaning allday long.keep licking the serbs as you may end up going to work there,cos anywhere else in europe you are seen as dourios ipos.or in plain english,con-nation

Who is the real Hashim “Snake” Thaci?
Thaci?http://dalje.com/en-world/who-is-hashim-snake-thaci/125467

Thaci said that Brussels should do more to persuade those countries (Romania, Spain, Greece, Slovakia, and Cyprus) to change their stand and recognize Kosovo's independence.

B92

More than 4 years have elapsed since Kosovo's illegal UDI and I recall the Albo trolls on this site insinuating that recognition by the 5 EU countries was just a matter of time only to find out that nothing has changed since then.I can only speak for Greece and Cyprus and I know both countries are one on the Kosovo issue.All the Albos talk about US and EU pressure is just wishful thinking.Greece does not take any pressure anymore by the Americans, and from what it seems EU really doesn't give a toss about kosovo.

Keep dreaming Noriega

@lili... its hilarious to see you and other "bold" Albos writing comments on Serbian sites constantly. Fact of the matter is Serbia's southern province could be controlled in a matter of days if it came down to it. Anyone and everyone knows that. Thaci would have to evacuate so fast, he would forget the organs he has in the freezer downstairs. Point is this.. there are deals. Deals that carry over from government to government.. part of policy. Thaci is going to lose his support in the long run. He, nor any other albo politician are going to be able to bring anything new to the table. As the picture unfolds..this will slowly turn. And if Serbs wanted to get rid of the albos.. they would..trust me. they stood up to the Turks
(Momcilo-Vojvodo, 6 April 2012 16:43)

You tried and you failed in 1912 1990s so stop it. You did not stand up t Turks ok you lost battles and the signed a treaty to pay tax to Turks read up Vojvodina.

Also hungary can take over Hungary any time they like oh not majority of Vojvodina is Serbs I am sure you think of it right away. Kosovo should go to Serbia moment they give Hungary to Hungary.

Serbia can not take Kosovo if they could they would do it, tell me tough guy why dont you do it you clearly say you stood up to Turks why dont you stand up and go fight in Kosovo, you could not stand up to Croats let alone Turks.

Would you go fight down in Kosovo or just want neighbors son to go there.

I have said many times before that Greece was in a financial mess but since that is the case have you ever wondered why Albanians are still coming in droves into a bankrupt country?Why not stay in prosperous Albania?I bet you have the answers.
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 18:22)

That was during the times where Fakelakistan was still feasting on a EU aid (funds, subsidies, stealing, etc) comprising around 1/3 Trillion Euro. Now, when we see the Greek economy is contracting back to state where it belongs, more and more Albanians return to their home country, since Albania's economy is growing and growing, while each Fakelaki tries to leaves his "beloved" country, most of them to Switzerland, Germany, etc. where the Fakelaki has already sent his money, leaving Fakelakistan in a mess which must be corrected by German taxpayer money.

ecoman

you know you've lost the argument when you pick on typos.

Leonidas

if you know anything about NATO's charter, you'd realize that ALL member states had to agree to the bombing of Yugoslavia. Greece marely had to oppose it and that'd have been that. explain that one to your brothers in Serbia. Pressure? or cowardice.

More than 4 years have elapsed since Kosovo's illegal UDI
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 13:14)

Illegal according to the Serbian law ? Well Kosovo can live with that type of illegality LOL

Interesting concept EA. So KiM will include Albania? Now that will make one large province!
(Zoran, 6 April 2012 14:41)

Exactly, and in some time Albanians will be a majority in Serbia :)

Have you ever been to Cyprus? As someone who's been both to Cyprus and Albania I can honestly say that Albania will need more than 100 years to reach the living standards of the Greek Cypriots.As to your jibe about Cyprus being a town country my answer is that you haven't go a clue about geography.
(Leonidas, 6 April 2012 18:27)

I’m not sure about Cyprus, but what we know is that Albania has more or less the living standards of China which is the pride of many people in these forums :)

Our friend, roberto, has returned from his middle school spring break with his usual cr p like,

'... and jeremic is just another 2-bit Balkan demagogue -- excuse me, a harvard educated 2-bit demagogue'

Gee, that is just like roberto who is just another a 2-bit transplanted San Fransisco liberal -- excuse me, a college educated, wanna be 2-bit (self-proclaimed) journalist.

You can only speak for Greece and Cyprus? Wow, hyou really must have a big ego to appoint yourself spokesman for ONLY Greece and Cyprus. p.s. bizarre that someone who comes from the land of Plato, Democritus, Aristotle etc should not know that you're not actually speaking for anyone, only yourself.

As for Greece not taking orders from anyone, have you not read the news lately?
(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 13:27)

Keep trolling your nonsensical rants Nicole.The Greeks in Greece and Cyprus are one on the Kosovo issue and no government of any persuasion will dare to change the status quo.As for taking orders this is more applicable to Nato protectorate called Kosovo.

excuse me, a college educated, wanna be 2-bit (self-proclaimed) journalist.

What makes you think he is college educated? Reading his attempt at journalism (or at least trying to), I bet his first draft was written with crayons in kiddy school.

Nikolle- you are deluded. If it looks like a dog, walks like a dog and smells like a dog, itt is probably a dog. Your defence of a known terrorist and narco criminal puts you in the same boat. Shame on you.

"I wonder how many here are actually aware of the fact that Thaci himself was NOT implicated in the organ trafficing allegation. In fact, Mr Marty's own words were that he never said Thaci was involved, only that its highly unlikely he didn't know of it. "
(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 12:01)

Since Thaci spent most of his time in Switzerland, it's indeed unlikely that he was involved personally. But for the same reason, you can call Milosevic 'innocent', he never killed anyone in person. But it's unlike that he didn't know about the crimes committed by his army (or maybe he even ordered it). This is likely in case of Thaci, too, having in mind that his mafia clan operated any kind of 'business' (drug, human trafficking, extortion of Kosovo Albanians living abroad to pay some 'tax' for the 'independence fight' and so on) to get money.

interesting, I agree with Kengur, someone who I haven´t noticed before in here, but that´s just what I think too.

@EA, the k-albanian dreamer: you will have to be patient, very patient, because Serbia will rise again. and you will be let down by your "friend", the " one and only global super-power" ..as one rather simple k-albanian once has called the US-occupiers in southern Serbia.

yours is it to wait. you can do nothing more than to sit by and watch, since the acting parties are foreign powers and Serbia. you k-albanian, are only objects of our political actions, we are subjects. perhaps you won´t understand the difference between them, but ...I can tell you, all will be fine. and you will peaceful with Serbs in Serbia, or you will leave for Albania, if you do not wish to coexist with others.

that will be your choice, and the US won´t have the means to prevent that.

it is only a question of time. and Serbia is there, waiting for the hour to come.

Serbia will prevail.

"and you write this: Jesus's? "

It's ok, just more colloquial than "Jesus'" - really. Scholars use the second, but this is hardly a site for scholars. (It's really hard to hear that " ' " after an "s."

I think economic pressure, and political pressure are two different things. If austerity measures are demanded of a nation by world lending organizations, otherwise no more loans, that is quite a different thing from imposing political pressure on a country to act in a certain way. If Greece really bowed to the EU's demands, then it would have recognized an independent Albanian KiM, but it has not, and will not in the future. I think Nicolle and others are mixing up politics and economics. And please, an Albanian from Kosovo lecturing someone on demands from other nations, please.
(ecoman, 6 April 2012 16:02)

Ecoman,
In a perfect world, you might be right, but taking this view right now is incredibly naive. Why do you think the EU and USA (and China, and Russia, and every other large country/entity) spend billions of dollars each year around the world? Is it to make the world a better place and make everyone smile? Nice to think so, but of course not... They spend money to exert (or buy or sometimes coerce) political influence. I am not defending this, mind you, just stating that this is the harsh reality of the world we live in. Economic influence = political influence, and to apply political pressure, economic pressure is often the most convenient tool.

Don't be naive my dear Albanians. The fact that Obama did not meet Thaci is a slap in a face.

The question is why???

Forget the busy week that Obama had. President of US does not agree to meet a foreign PM and then say ‘oh sorry I'm bit tired as I had to visit a primary school this morning, can't meet you’.

In my opinion this is serious warning to Thaci himself that:

1. the fight of corruption and the democratic achievements are not at desirable level (this has most probably been said by Biden);
2. some 'unauthorized' actions such as arrests of Serbian MUP and start of dismantling of Serbian parallel structures, in US is viewed as unnecessary actions that can destabilize the region while US does not need that as it has serious problems in A-stan and soon with Iran (repeated by Clinton and Biden);
3. I don’t want to meet you as that would put a bad light on Tadic’s election campaign and I don’t want to favour Nikolic (Biden and Clinton have explained to Thaci why their boss cannot meet him);
4. meeting you could be abused by the Christian fascists in the upcoming US presidential elections as the case initiated by Dick Marty has not finished;

I hope that Thaci had the wisdom to reject categorically the 2, 3 and 4, but have serious doubts on that.

I am afraid that the KGB and UDB-a’s well planned and executed political assassination of Thaci has succeeded. Thaci’s presence in Bruxels few months ago gave me some hope but it seems i was worng. I’m sure that behind the doors they all sympathise with Thaci but in public international leaders are prudent in shaking his hand.

...after all Thaci has very limited intellectual capacities thus his departure from the politics can and most likely will be beneficial for Kosova... who knowns...

"Thaci fails to secure meeting with Obama"

"Serbia failed at defending Kosova"

Have a good day everyone!! Long live Kosova! Never let Serbian propoganda bother you and never take your eye off the prize Kosovars! You fought hard and won!

And who are you, Roberto, to name call a diplomat from Serbia. Vuk has more class, education, and ability in his little finger, than you can even dream of having. Tell us your credentials, Frisco boy, and let's see if your petty comments should be respected? Or maybe, if Vuk was involed in organ-harvesting, you would respect him more?

Thanks, Roger, for the link, but people here know who and what Thaci was and is, only the Albanci here keep their heads in their butts, and will not acknowledge who and what this criminal is. And on top of that, they demand some sort of respect, funny. I would be ashamed if my people were represented by an organ-harvesting mafioso.

I hear Obama refused to meet with him today. Good for your Barak! Balkan Anthropologist
Honestly, would you meet with a terrorist criminal if you were a president, of any nation (besides) Albania? Thaci is only out with his hand extended, palm up, and has nothing to offer. All aboard the American free ride, everyone, just say you want to build a democratic state - but you don't really have to mean it.

@lili... its hilarious to see you and other "bold" Albos writing comments on Serbian sites constantly.

you albanians are so funny maybe you should read and study history then post. we beat the turks and we were out numberd in the final battle 10 to 1 and we won, in the first world war we won the second world war we won in the end , against croatia we did win but the world stopped it and made the serbs leave not from the war. serbs and croats today are moving foward where you albanians live in the past and your not illyrians and thats been proven.now for albanians you lost to the turks and converted when you were all orthodox so that shows your weakness. you lost and were under control from the germans and itaians in both world wars so again shows your weakness. in macedonia you started a war with them and you lost and in preshovo valley you lost in a week and in kosovo you got beat bad and you started the war in our province so again and again you lost and showed weakness but cried very fast to the world where the serbs fought and never cried to any one in history and today so you keep talking of fake stories... now tell me where are these big albanian warriors lol and skanderbeg was NOT albanian he is of serbian and greek ancestors and these were all proven so you have a statue of a greek-serb in tirrana lol and albania is not even your land it was given for you to live on it was also greek-serbian lands ...

They are going to your country so that they can ruin that too.
They ruin everything they have any control over. Look at Albania and now look at Kosovo.
So they ruin everything they are a sizable population in if given the chance. Better close border to them now.
As for Serbia, it's too late. Too many already in. Such a shame.

I see Pristina separatists are keeping telling Bruxelles that EU leadership should do this and that, and also they are keen to give indications to other EU countries how they should manage their own international relations... As Romanian, I am amused. We needed some time in order to understand how EU system works, to use it properly (see our recent dealings with Serbia, on the issue of Serbian citizens of Romanian/Vlach identity...). I wonder how much time Kosovars will need to discover that their pressures are giving no result (at least in Romania, I don't know for the other 4 EU countries). But, by all means, please, keep it up, it makes us to seem important.

The time will tell is Kosovo be accepted in EU as a separate country or joint with Albania. The four weakest links "choice".

Thaci and his pathetic gang of clowns is a dissgrace. No wonder Obama, nor any Europen country for that matter, want anything to do with Thaci. What's even more amazing is all the albanian trolls here who actually support this fool.

It is a paradox tha the four weakest links of EU are trying to abuse their position. I mean four because Greece and Cyprus are one, Cyprus is a town country anyway.

“Numerous accusations have been leveled at me, but they all come to nothing. No one can change the independence of Kosovo which suffered genocide,” the Kosovo prime minister stressed.

I am certainly certain that those present in the room know what the meaning of the word genocide is. I am as
equally certain that the uneducated "former" leader of the KLA human organ harvesters and narco terrorists, Mr. Thaci --aka- The Snake,who is also presently the leader of the Stillborn--doesn't !!
Anyway,as always, count you fingers and check for your watch after shaking hands with the Snake.

LOL it's pretty sad to see how low roberto has fallen that he now defends mafia kingpins of the Albanian criminal elite since it's part of his larger need at smearing anything Serbian. I hear Pristina hired another US lobbyist to spin positive stories about them with a $50,000 a month salary. Did you take that offer friscy? You're good at bending reality and dancing around the truth, not to mention your pseudo journalistic articles on albaniapress.com should make you a shoe in since you're desperate for attention and recognition. I'd say you're the Albanian and Bosnian equivalent to John Bosnitch, but his name at least comes up in a Google search :)

As for Thaci, I have to be honest and say I love that little idiot. I really do. He's done more to keep Kosovo a Third World Borat-country than any Serb with his stupid statements, laughable defense, and complete dependence on the US for support and protection. I hope he lives another 50 years and Kosovo* "prospers" under the shadow of his enormous villa :)

I hear Obama refused to meet with him today. Good for your Barak!

(Nikolle, 6 April 2012 14:17)

Greece could've stopped the bombing of Serbia in the same manner that Turkey managed to stop Nato's bombing of Libya.Remember that Turkey had contracts and investments in Libya in the region of $30 billion and was unwilling to support any operations by Nato fearing that its investments will go up in smoke.We all know what happened.

I have said many times before that Greece was in a financial mess but since that is the case have you ever wondered why Albanians are still coming in droves into a bankrupt country?Why not stay in prosperous Albania?I bet you have the answers.

When will Serb President walk in the White House, since Thaci has been there few times.
(Agim Kelmendi, 6 April 2012 17:00)

When will Thaci walk in Brussels? Tadic goes there all the time since Serbia is in Europe. Thaci goes to Washington more because he knows Europe wants nothing to do with him and America is his only friend. Too bad even Obama wants nothing to do with him and even Biden yelled at him.

oh yes ecoman, and if those economic pressures come from outside and you bow to them, then you're bowing to outside pressure. by the way, are you going to tell me that Japan, the 3rd biggest economy in the world could not resist US pressure, but nearly bankrupt Greece can? if you really believe that, then I doubt even Jesus's mythical powers could help you

LOL When was the last time he was in Brussels or any other European capital? European leaders don't want to associate with him. He had to run out to Pristina airport just to talk with Merkel who came to Kosovo last year to speak with her own troops in KFOR. He's an embarrasment to be with, which is why Obama didn't want to be with him and Biden didn't want to record the meeting. Better to go only a few times to Washington and be greeted as a statesman than invite yourself to the White House and then get blown off like an ugly date :)

(EA, 6 April 2012 20:07)

I know Agioi Saranda EA and I have visited the place since is the home to Greek minority who had their land and properties confiscated by thief Berisha.But the time will come when Albania will start EU negotiations(if the EU is still around) and then Albania will have to give every acre of land back.Make no mistake about that.

As to your timing of 10 years of Albania catching up with Cyprus I am afraid that you cannot achieve this with stolen cars from all over Europe and Donkeys wandering on the streets.

...after all Thaci has very limited intellectual capacities thus his departure from the politics can and most likely will be beneficial for Kosova... who knowns...
(ben, 6 April 2012 23:26)

The limited intellectual capacities are a smaller problem than his criminal connections. The problem with a 'departure of Thaci from politics' is: There is not a single honorable politician in Kosovo that has support amongst the people. The biggest opposition are national extremists (comparable to Serbian radicals) hiding behind the name of 'self determination movement'. A real democratic and honorable party leader (like Rugova has been) is missing, nowaday.

isn´t it interesting how quick our dear k-albanian friends are letting their heroes down, just because they seem not to be so glorious winner-types as they wished them to be?

I mean, some K-albanian, I think it was "Ben", if I remember it well, wrote about Mr.Touchy´s limited intellectual capacities! wow.... my dear Ben, you should worry about completely other things, I´d say.

even if you had another Einstein amongst you, you wouldn´t succeed in your stupid greater albanain illusion!

time works for Serbia, and I think all of the relevant factors know that, except the K-albanian internet-experts who are constantly chest-beating on B92´s website.

this is only one little brick in the wall ...and there will be many more. you will lose. and Serbia will prevail.

just a question of time.


and Touchy is unimportant. he will end up behind bars or end his lousy thug-life in the mud of some of Priština´s sideroads... you will need new "leaders" anyway, when the time has come to cooperate with the serbian government.

but the bottomline of this article above is that you can clearly see what you can expect of your k-albanian yellow-press down there in southern Serbia. they announce a meeting between the US-president and the "president" of "kosovaaaah" , ...but in essence it is just a laughable episode in this comedy that you call "independence"...

no photo ops this time, a bad sign for Thaci, I guess they think he might go down and don't want to be caught shaking hands with a man who might soon be labeled a war criminal/gangster/drug dealer/human trafficker/fraudster/blackmailer...well at least he doesn't throw stones at old ladies on buses.

"Well-informed sources in Washington say that the fact that the U.S. President has not received the Kosovo prime minister shows that Thaci is not welcome."
That's possible, maybe Obama has enough integrity to refuse to shake hands with a person like Thaci. With access to some old CIA reports, he knows enough about 'carreer' of this gentleman. Or it can simply mean that this fly spot on the map called Kosovo is simply not important enough for the US president.


"I mean four because Greece and Cyprus are one, Cyprus is a town country anyway. "
(EA, 6 April 2012 13:47)
Funny to read these words coming from people from a split-off wannabe 'country' called Kosovo that is not much bigger.
Cyprus: 9,251 km2 , 1,099,341 population
Kosovo: 10,908 km2, 1,733,872 population


"In the meantime Kosovo will use this time to consolidate its democracy and democratic institution to EU standards. Now for that Kosovo does NOT have to ask the four weakest links of the EU. In other words getting ready for EU by fightin crime, corruption and with the continued presence of the EU on the ground as well as KFOR. "
(EA, 6 April 2012 13:47)
It would be desirable if that happens, but I don't believe in it. During the last years, not much has improved according democracy, crime, corruption and EU standards when it comes to Kosovo. In fact, it's just the opposite, the UNMIK organized elections have been much fairer and correct than the faked and manipualted ones organized by 'Pristina authorities'. I simply don't expect any improvement as long as those criminals are in power in Kosovo.

“Numerous accusations have been leveled at me, but they all come to nothing. No one can change the independence of Kosovo which suffered genocide,” the Kosovo prime minister stressed.

As usual, this gentleman connects the accusations against his person with Kosovo. Why is it so hard to realize that an alleged criminal like you is nothing but a burden for Kosovo as a state and Kosovo would do much better without persons like you (and your buddies) in power, Mr. Thaci?

"Thaci fails to secure meeting with Obama"

What a joke!

A statement released by Thaci's office notes that Biden congratulated him on his courage in making "important decisions which are in the interest of Kosovo".

That's so lame. It's like saying, "nice job breathing".

I bet The Snake is musing some of these lyrics after being brushed off by Obama:

There's somethin happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there.
Telling me I got to beware.

I think it's time we stop,children,what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down.....

Paranoia strikes deep.
Into your life it will creep.
It starts when you're always afraid.
You step out of line, the man come and take you away.

I think it's time we stop,children,what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down....

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.....

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound...

I said so much right after the Albanians announced this great meeting. Let me repeat that statement – the old Hilary and another minor official. And boy I certainly wasn’t wrong he also met with Captain numb nuts, Joe Biden, the dumbest homo sapien on two legs in the 21 century.
Now considering it would have only taken a couple of minutes to meet up with Hashish Thaci Obama passed up that chance. In the world of politics this is a snub considering Hashish is a US appointment.
The world is a changing boys, but you Albanians are not listening just flapping your gums as if we were in 1999.
(sj, 8 April 2012 05:54)

I think it was Hashish Thaci that passed up that opportunity after reading your excellent analysis in B92 forums that America no longer counts in the world affairs and is close to collapse. Why waste time with the president of a country that is close to collapsing ?!

no photo ops this time, a bad sign for Thaci, I guess they think he might go down and don't want to be caught shaking hands with a man who might soon be labeled a war criminal/gangster/drug dealer/human trafficker/fraudster/blackmailer...well at least he doesn't throw stones at old ladies on buses.

Why 'soon be labeled'? This label is attached to him for decades, even in old CIA files about him.

I said so much right after the Albanians announced this great meeting. Let me repeat that statement – the old Hilary and another minor official. And boy I certainly wasn’t wrong he also met with Captain numb nuts, Joe Biden, the dumbest homo sapien on two legs in the 21 century.
Now considering it would have only taken a couple of minutes to meet up with Hashish Thaci Obama passed up that chance. In the world of politics this is a snub considering Hashish is a US appointment.
The world is a changing boys, but you Albanians are not listening just flapping your gums as if we were in 1999.

"Exactly, and in some time Albanians will be a majority in Serbia :)"

you know what's really sick about you? is that your actually proud of trying to steal land. You albos are the only ones living in the middle ages. you stand up for every albanian criminal like he's a saint, you defend k-albs attacking churches and bashing old serbs when they are on their own and you guys are in groups of 3+..
I mean, all these crimes your people do and you are proud of it.
Your attitude on here is shocking. you all act like a bunch of heroes you think your comments are making a difference to the Kosovo situation. why dont you open the curtains in your little bedrooms, look outside and realise that your comments will do nothing here. You anger noone but you actually make yourselves look worse by defending all the criminals that are guilty.

Seriously please stop bothering us on this website.. i will admit you guys are annoying.. every article the comments are the same "albania is the best blah blah blah" ok good for you.. enjoy your opinion.
let me ask you all one thing. if a war breaks out how many of you will honestly go and volunteer? i'll tell you now.. none of you.. you're all probably a bunch of nerdy albo kids in western countries acting like hot shots.
Now my comment to this article.. i have no comment. i laughed when i read it because i half expected it. thaci got spat in the face by obama.. shows how "close" albania and america really are lol
