There were/are a lot of incidents where albanians are attacking them, why do you think 100000+ Kosovo Serbs from the south left Kosovo and remaining southern communities are fading?
(aaayyy, 14 April 2012 11:00)

As usual, your comment is not true, most Serbs live South of the Ibar and their numbers are constantly increasing due to the lawlessness in the North.

I think you just don't want to see it. Look to Gnjilane region how many times were Serbs attacked by albanians or Pec region - the same. There is no week without stealing some things from Serbian houses or without damaging of church - this is kosovo albanian way of multiethnic society - no surprise if the country is led by terorists and criminals.

Why don't you mention that on Easter Saturday, an Albanian Selver Haradinaj was killed in a bomb attack on his apartment in the north of Mitrovica, and from which his four children and wife were lucky to escape. And why don't you mention the campaign of arbitrary arrests which Serbia has initiated in the last weeks - Serbia has again a political prisoner (declared by Amnesty International) in its prison, Hasan Abazi, a trades unionist from Kosova. This is not a case simply of Serbs as victims of unilateral attacks, but the outcome of Serbia's construction of incidents in order to prepare the terrain for forthcoming negotiations - regardless of how many lives that costs.

"Not really contradictory sentences, huh? But Croatia did not expel Serbs, most of them were running days before the Hrvatska Garda was advancing, because each Serbs knew about the atrocities which have been carried out against Croatia and the people.
(Berk., 13 April 2012 23:28)"
============================
What does cleansing mean to you? Do you think Croatians were giving Serbs a bath?
Yes, they were running away as you said and you still claim that Croatians did not cleanse Serbs out. They were not running away because of anything they did, but because of what was going to be done to them. You can excuse it any way you want but innocent people having to run for their lives is despicable. Even if some Serbs committed crimes, does that mean that all the rest have to die?
YOU SICKEN ME.

"Why those guys are Albanian, how b92 knows this?

That is pathetic propaganda."

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

Hey gjon, can you provide us information which is more reliable?
B92 obviously know that the were Albanian. Perhaps they spoke Albanian but you calling all this propaganda is just a sign that maybe you should stop reading "propaganda" and get the "facts" from your own media.
What's stopping you?

Croatia a shining example of peace? Croatia expelled hundreds of thousands of Serbs from the Krajina, and tried to push further into BiH until their masters Germany and America yanked their leash.
(Anonymoose, 13 April 2012 20:23) We didn't expel them they left with cars trucks trailers loaded and safe corridors were left http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rzQq846Yn8&feature=related open for them to use. While the "brave" Chetnik Serb army ran drove over them and pushed the Serb refugees in to ditches. The order was given by their criminal leaders to leave even documented evidence. They are welcome to come back as the Croatian government said so. In comparison what the Serbs did murdered summarily executed thousand of Croatians http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vukovar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpHRAZ3R0tM in their homes and country. Their property stolen houses torched every trace of their culture blown up ethnic cleansed only the clothes on their back. The unarmed country of Bosnia ,Croatia preserved from aggressor war mongering Greater Belgrade Serbia pogroms rebel Serb occupation. By the dupes of Greater Serbia the minority Serb of Bosnia. From genocidal ethnic cleansing destruction of the country of the civilian population of Bosnia. Also the Croatians of Bosnia that quisling Serbs ethnic cleansed well over 100,000 just in Baja Luka and area less then few thousand managed to return to their homes and country of Bosnia because of a wicked Srpska entity aka Greater warmongering Serbia and of its dupes. Yes Croatia is the shining example of peace in the world we are in all hot spots in the world for peace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM35TmQiQc8&feature=related http://www.vidoevo.com/yvideo.php?i=VnlnLWxxcWuRpSDdZZE0&croatian-army-natokforomltisaf Sudan, Somalia, Golan Israel-Syria ,India-Pakistan ,Serbia-Kosovo and many more places etc. What is Serbia doing ,except the world cleaning up the horrendous messes it makes.

Gee whiz why can't you get along look at Croatia so peaceful the birds singing sun shining moving forward. It takes a Croatian like Tito before to rule over you messed up violent mentality Balkanars. For any chance of a long peace before you all strangle each other to death truly pitiful.

We are talking about northern Mitrovica...that is Serbia's main concern...whose interest is to cleanse northern Mitrovica? Anyway any act of violance must be punished.

Albanians or Kosovo albanians are getting sick of maltreatment and killings and has always been a direct result of serbian nationalistic propaganda machine .Why can't you just let go of Kosova and let the region live in peace there's nothing you can do to reverse old politics .More so serbian politicians have recently used maximal adjustment to fit serbian 'pride' just to stir up turmoils and are affecting the whole region .And the serbs in north are nothing more but criminals smuggling god knows what ,even be92 did a documentary based on it.
