K. Albanians "warned against repeat of March 2004"

@EA
I think you misunderstood chum. The gist of the article is that if Albanian mobs attack and pillage as they did in 2004, NATO would turn their firepower on them. I think even your erstwhile allies are sick of you.

EA, the warning was for you Albanians not create another pogrom like the one in 2004 against the Serbs, the warning was not directed at serbs. Pristina should try and control its Albanians, the Serbs in the North of KiM pose no threat to anyone.

If KFOR can not provide security...let the Kosovo authorities do it. I do not believe anyone wants Kosovo to turn into Afghanistan....

EA, if you have trouble understanding please read slowly.
KFOR can provide security and they are telling you that that's exactly what they will be doing.
They are warning you not to go back to your old tricks of 2004 because this time they will not tolerate it.
Do you get it now?
But do please use your own security if you are not happy and see what happens.

Keep dreaming EA. I was in KiM this week and I can tell you the North is firmly integrated into Serbian institutions and you can forget about Pristina getting their dirty hands on it. Even crossing the administrative line was nothing more than a quick glance at my licna karta and drivers license. So much for your "independent Kosova"*.

I was in Gracanica also and even they have rejected "Kosova"* institutions. The problem with K*-Albanians is that after rejecting Serbian institutions for decades, they think Serbians should now accept their parallel institutions. It aint gonna happen.

It's not the north we have to worry about if the Albanians think of instigating another March 2004. Back then the local Serbs and French KFOR troops very nicely coordinated and cooperated in keeping Albanian mobs from causing trouble up there. It's the south we have to worry about, especially those Serb communities in so-called "Drenica" that are the most vulnerable to Albanian extremist attacks.

The north will defend itself perfectly fine. Last July is proof of that :)

Yes, but not only that: "Kosovo's institutions," the article continues, were also told "not to use the latest incidents in the north for political incitement."

which obviously refers to operation like the 'successful' one of ROSU last year which was only meant to further incite the tense situation, which KFOR won't allow to repeat.

believe me, KFOR would eventually be sitting idle and watch by, as jihaidist are gonna human shields as they did in 2004. can anyone think of austrians or yankees shooting at "civilians" or in reality UCK and its supporters who according to GC would be directly participating in hostilities? even if they did, what would be their future - sitting in the camps being surrounded by jihadits like in S-LEbanon, being afraid of being shot by "civilians" or getting blown up by IEDs? that is the way backwarded jihadists in KiM would do. - KFOR has no guts, like back in 2004 when there were way more troops in KiM. jihadists need different treatment - like VSCG would do in order to be be successful. the Serbs can only rest on themselves...

If KFOR can not provide security...let the Kosovo authorities do it. I do not believe anyone wants Kosovo to turn into Afghanistan....

@Dori Tirana:

Kosovo is Serbia, of course.

if you don´t like it, go back to Tirana, where you most likely come from. but, sooner or later, you will get your reality-check. your socalled "freedomfighters" are being sacked, one by one... and you talk about "reality" ... you made me smile, though.

well, I wish you a nice sunday, my dear k-albanian friend.

Very well Zoran! Your visit at Kosova will help you to be more realistic with your comments. By the way, what is your opinion now “Kosovo is Serbia” or “North Mitro is Serbia”?

What do you mean? As I was driving through Northern KiM, I saw a "Ovo je Srbija/This is Serbia" sign about every kilometre. When I crossed the Ibar, every location sign was in both Albanian and Serbian. When I got into Gracanica, everything reverted back into Serbian. I mean, good on the K*-Albanians for keeping the Serbianism in their sections.

I had a problem getting back into Northern mitro though. As the barricades are still up, I couldn't find the one bridge that was open. I eventually found a barricade I could drive around, passing some Albanian skin heads dressed in black and getting back into Serbian territory, where I saw Serbians living freely and happily. The Albanian part of Mitro was dead for some reason.

I just can't believe you guys.
Strategic intentions always had a bigger weight in Kosovo and Metohija than human lives or international legality, unfortunately !

But I am sure the population would be better off with a person like Rugova, as would the reputation of the young country.

Depends. Maybe the ordinary people. But not the part of the population that is part of the numerous mafia clans and/or political 'elite'. They are doing fine in a lawless place like Kosovo, with a limbo status, and where they are not persecuted by the police. And the 'reputation' of Kosovo being Europe's main drug hub is good for their business.

According to this statement chances of 2004 to be repeated are greater. I don't see NATO issuing threats when Serbs kill Albanians. NATO should know what happens to them when they go against local people. Think of Afghanistan and Iraq.

I wonder if, in one hundred years' time, there will be any multi-ethnic areas left in the Balkans?
Bosnia has more or less gone, the Macedonians and Serbs are being, or have been, squeezed out of west-MK and KM respectively.
Is this simply an unavoidable process?
Regarding the 2004 pogroms, we say in English "all spoils to the victors", in this case the UCK. But I am sure the population would be better off with a person like Rugova, as would the reputation of the young country.
