Republic of Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik told weekly NIN he would put Serbian army on alert and do other things that would demonstrate the state’s power.
SERBIAN PEOPLE AND SERBS IN BOSNIA NEED TO ASK THEM SELVES WHO IS DODIK WORKING FOR AND WHO PAYS HIM.....UNTIL THEN ....WE NEED TO JUST EDUCATE OURSELVES NOT TO LISTEN FOREIGN AGENTS....
its really funny how b92 is full of exKfor soldiers who support the Serbian side :-). its also amusing how we get a lot of pro-Serb Americans here :-), even some who laud Eurovision! well, what to say? so long and thanks for all the fish!
The Serbian army had to leave Kosovo, because it was defeated by US-Airforce. It is not really realistic that Serbs can gain something by any armed clash.
Momcilo it is 90% as you can see in 1996 it was 72% http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2006&mm=08&dd=16&nav_id=36164 now it is 90% in 2012 just cant locate the figures where I saw it. Im not Albanian Im http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCazYqft-Y&NR=1 .
As an American, I am so happy to see my fellow citizens showing their support to Serbia and Serbian people. Serbs are the most respectable people in the region: they are intellect, artistic and courageous! Love you Serbia and Serbian people!
Dodik is all talk, sitting in Banja Luka 1000km away from Kosovo and giving orders from his lounge room sofa, what a joke. If Serbia did send troops to Kosovo, it is more than likely that Dodik would not provide a cent to Serbia and not even send one Serb from RS to fight in Kosovo. Yes Serbia did put up a very good fight against NATO and technically did win the war in 1999, but what does Serbia expect too do by invading? Most of the Serbs have sold up their homes and left, Serbs themselves have let the Albanians spread, no one in Serbia is willing to fight for Kosovo so why do we deserve it? Plus whats next for dodik? Should Serbia invade Croatia and take back Knin? What a joke
Serbs are the strongest.
(Momcilo, 13 June 2012 22:37)
You need you work on your "grammar" as well. Not only that, but you said "serbs are the strongest," what an asinine thing to say. However, thank you for that, because I needed a laugh.
Once again you Albanians have it wrong. This man is not talking about fear of sending in troops at all but stating the facts that military action would be stupid and not because NATO, but simply because negotiations are going open behind closed doors over Kosovo. The Albanians have already been forced to sign away very important conditions in Belgrade’s favour because of “international pressure” and I believe more is on its way. That is what Dodik is talking about.
The EU is broke with only loans from China keeping it afloat and if you think that they are in any position to demand real conditions from Serbia your fooling yourself. All of this is the long road back to mother for Kosovo. Forget what you read in the papers as the EU as these are only saving face exercises such as continued talks with Pristina a condition of blah blah blah. IT’s pure 100% BS or face saving spin.
NATO is a finished group. Now if you think that Belgrade would go in without Moscow’s blessing then you’re crazy. The status quo will remain until the time is right for the take over.
When push comes to shove the Germans won’t be involved because of their terrible history in the Balkans so that leaves the US silly poms and Turks. I doubt that the US is willing to get involved in another mess so soon after Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh one more matter there are no guarantees that the sides that stand aside wont join the Serbs – so much for NATO solidarity. That is the real concern for the Pentagon.
Let me inform you to the fact that the Serbian army is now right on the administrative line with Kosovo – now why would that is allowed? Hmmmmm? What happened to the Kumanovo agreement???? Minimum 5km away?????? All finished.
There will be no more agreement signed involving the Serbian army and that’s guaranteed. You people still live in the 1990s.
@Lenard,
All Serbia needs to defends itself is a single Serb with a rifle and a Serbian heart. Look at what we did against the mighty Austrians while your people were quick to adopt a servile status and actually BEG them to rule you for centuries. Our history is very different. Learn about Serbian history and the brave Serbian heart before you post nonsense.
I really apologise to say that but this minister or whatever is in R. Srpska i think he has no brain or i think he never ever been to school. How he can say those words in this situation when evryone wants to be part of europe and to be part of europse fristly you should be good educated. We are lving in 21st Decade dear Minister and you should read more and educated more because with this brain you won't be part of EU. Please go study as much as you can you really need to
The US and Europe have already seen the thanks that the Albos have given them, e.g. all the welcomed terrorist attacks. In reality, the "kosovars" are just as flip-flopping as their NATO caretakers. How Do they expect to maintain foreign support by killing armed forces and attacking US military camps in New Jersey? By selling them organs? Maybe opium? Get out of here, the world is awake. The people are for Serbia, with the exception of those that run the talking points in these bigger countries. I can tell you for a fact, from an American perspective, the average citizens viewpoint on the whole conflict leans dramatically towards the Serbs. They have the president of the UN and we will chair the OSCE in 2014. The "independent state of Kosovo" can't even get into Eurovision! (Serbia took third this year)
@Lenard
You are truly lost. Good to see an albo like you spending a lot of time on here, even though your grammar is horrible. However, you are wrong, Serbia exports more military equipment than anyone in the region. Im sure they are dealing with the cost. And its not as expensive for food as it once was, as the army is now professionalized, not mandatory. Where you were forced to feed everyone.
Lenard, you are lost. Go read up on your albo stats.. Albania spends 1/6 th the money Serbia does on its military, and has many less soldiers and weapons. Not to mention, those trolls in Pristina have nothing. so please Lenard..spare us your knowledge. Only 30% of the Serb military budget goes to pensions. Please learn not to state untrue statements, makes me not want to read your comments ever. albos are weakest in the balkans, Serbs are the strongest.
@kosovoexpatRarely do you hear exact facts, truth, and strong sentiment by a soldier there. You are right...and thank you for the explosive statement...along with the stat on visas. Europe knows..as well as the US that they dont want the albos anywhere around...hence that statistic. Thank you for your words...be safe
I think someone should show Dodik the state of the Serbian economy and point out to him that Serbia is nearing bunkruptcy even without an unnecessary military escalation. Dodik always comes up with grandiose inane ideas and never mentions how he would pay for them. Who's going to pay for the military escalation? If the Serbia army couldn't defeat any of its opponents when it was full strength in the 90s (basically in control of all of Yugoslavia's arms and munitions) what chance does the much smaller, weaker, and poorer current Serbian army stand against opponents that have become stronger in the past two decades? Serbia does not have a single ally in it's neighborhood is in fact surrounded by countries that would gladly see further erosion of Serbia's economy and influence in the region. Dodik lives in a fantasy world and is continually making statements and decisions that harm the Serbian people's interestes and make him sound mentally unbalanced.
Dodik says he'd "put Serbian army on alert" Dodo Serbia dose not even have money to go on alert. Over 90% of Serbia's armed forces budget goes to retirement payments because Serbia loaded up the EX Serbo/Yugoslavia army with Serbs and also salary's. The majority of the 1960-1970's era weapons that Serbia stole don't even have the money to extend their life or modernization and maintenance if possible. Don't forget feeding the troops housing them ,fuel ,ammunition etc no money in poor Serbia. Then their is the huge expense keeping the fantasy going of a "Srpska entity" aka Greater Belgrade Serbia criminal war pogrom in the country of Bosnia. Dodo definitely you should be Serbia's president you would exhilarate expediently Greater Serbia's self inflicted demise.
And then he continues: "only a crazy person would send the army to Kosovo"
so go figure. "we have an army but we won't use it" LOL.
@Kosovoexpat
you must be wrong sir or lying or just did not count very well during your visit at Bondsteel. The more informed Serbian commentators on this site have ensured us very often that Bondsteel is the largest American base in the world and that the attack on Serbia in 1999 happened to build that base in Serbian territory.
John, get your facts straight brother, there are only 6209 NATO Troops in Kosovo, Brits make up the grand total of 1, the top 3 contributing countries are Germany, Italy and Austria in that order. The evil American empire's contribution is half of what Italy and Germany Contribute, about 750 soldiers total. I visited Bondsteel today, half of the soldiers accomodations have been demolished. Here is the National make up of Bondsteel, Greece, Polish, Ukraine, Cotatia, and U.S. for a total non U.S. force structure of 559 total soldiers. Get your facts straight before posting crap.
Here is a little bit of information for you Albanians who think that you have the U.S. fooled. Serbs were granted more immigration visas for 2011 than Kosovo and Albania combined. We have enough problems and don't need the higher crime rates.
We did bomb the wrong side.
but they are the to prevent Russia from exerting its influence in the region and they will stay there as long as it takes to do just that and Kosovo/a is the perfect place for them to do that, it was also the reason in the first place they went in.
But now there is another show in town,the Putin show,not a drunken Jester like Yeltsin,US arrogance is in for a shock,also the Serbs should have gone back into Kosovo years ago but that bunch of quislings in belgrade didn't have the ball's.
If Dodik is so tough why doesn't he declare independence? Talking is cheap.
(Avni, 13 June 2012 17:11)
Declaring independence is not everything. Republika Srpska is a lot more independent in name than Pristina is.
Think about it, ALL of RS's affairs come from Banja Luka by SERBS. Kosovo* is an western protectorate and the Albanians cannot make a decision that isn't already accepted by the west.
Think about it, your "president" was hand chosen by fake ambassador Dell off his smartphone. Some country!
I don't understand this short mentality when not too long ago what Dodik said was done and it just backfired into Belgrade. How can dome people here even suggest that NATO would stand aside and not retaliate when NATO bombed the capital city of your country, and you think that if the Serbian army walks in and crosses the border NATO would just stand aside?
Honestly why do people make such ridiculous comments is way beyond me.
Having the army on high alert it would be a waist of time and energy because that's all it would be no more than just in high alert and the army can only stay on high alert for some time before it is exhausted and then realize that that's all it will be.
Listen, there will not be another chance for Serbia to have its forces in Kosovo/a, that situation has long gone. For those people that think, well, when the international forces are gone, we will just go in and take it again, you can't possibly and actually believe that they will just leave without any assurance that the Serbian army does not step a foot into Kosovo/a.
Either way the US will not leave Kosovo for a long time and I am not claiming this because the US cares for the Albanians but they are the to prevent Russia from exerting its influence in the region and they will stay there as long as it takes to do just that and Kosovo/a is the perfect place for them to do that, it was also the reason in the first place they went in.
Cheers, and honestly, Dodik is a complete moron.
I respect Dodik's point of view. Putting the Serbian army on alert demonstrates readiness, it indicates don't go to far because we're here.
It implies we will respond accordingly. Contrary to the sell out, Tadic, who literally gave the Evil Empire permission to go and rip Serbia apart, how many times has he professed, "we'll do it diplomatically," to the very country that he knew has no respect for diplomacy. He blamed Milosevic for the Kosovo situation. I'm sorry Mr. Tadic, however, Milosevic never sold his country out. Despite his shortcomings, regarding Kosovo, he was noble, patriotic, had the guts, and did the right thing. I hope Nikolic hangs Tadic for treason and election fraud.
What Dodik says is absolutely correct, though I would add that the Serbian army be literally sitting on the fictional border, while at the same time initiating martial law in Presevo and Bujanovac to secure those areas of albanian terrorist threats. What confuses me is if he thinks this then why did he support Tadic? Tadic was the biggest coward when it came to this issue.
Those who want to stay, I promise we wont rape your daugther or extract your kidneys.
(Ari Gold, 13 June 2012 15:32)
I believe there is around 16K NATO troops in Kosovo. Out of the 16K NATO troops only the American, British,German and Turkish troops would fight, the rest of the NATO group would stand aside the same exact way UN stood on Srebrenica. Kosovo has no security force of it own that will match that of Serbia. So with a decent force Serbian army could fight its way to the Albanian border within hours. So why isnt then the Serbian army moving in and taking over its heatland. Because of what would happen the next day or the next hour. I hope you get the picture now.
So my answer to you is that when and if NATO decides to leave Kosovo, Serbian army will never again be able to cross the line as an agreement will be signed that will guarantee Kosovos security and territorial intergrity. If you think this is bluff try crossing the border and see how your mighty army will be decimated within days.
I don't think you understood what Dodik said about sending the army to Kosova. He actually is saying that only a fool would even think about it.
You should re-read again what Dodik said.
(Kosova-USA, 13 June 2012 15:05)
He did say that, good observation. But now be honest, is he saying that because of fearing the big bad mighty organ extractors, or because of NATO-KFOR?
The solution is simple, I cannot tell you when KFOR is going to fully withdraw (I don't make outrageous claims that they are leaving tomorrow unlike Albs who say they will be there forever)
but whenever they do leave, Serbia takes back its rightful borders and reintegrates southern Kosovo into Serbian institutions.
Those who want to stay, I promise we wont rape your daugther or extract your kidneys.
Dodik only saying it like it is. Southern Kosovo should be integrated into Serbia by force if necessary. Organised criminals selling harvested organs and selling drugs need to be dealt with appropriately by the police with the support of the army if necessary. Thaci and his lot are living on borrowed time.

Dodik stop saying that, because if you don't, Lenard (who I must remind everyone again used the word darling while calling ME gay) will call you "Dodo" and say Republika Srpska is "fictitious" (in who's eyes? all three sides signed its existence on paper)and call it 'aka greater Belgrade' (wtf)
^^like any of that is supposed to hurt anybody's feelings. Like Dodik (who I'm not a big fan of) or any other Serb cares about what the organizer of Split's gay parade has to say about anything.
Lenard, the self-described "darling of the world".
I think you misinterpreted his comment, he in some way recognises that Kosovo is independent and goes round it not to mention the independence. The only thing he is fighting for is for RS to join Serbia and that again not saying it straight but going round it.
I don't like Mr Thaci too, but when it comes to Serbia he is like penicillin.

NATO is a finished group. Now if you think that Belgrade would go in without Moscow’s blessing then you’re crazy. The status quo will remain until the time is right for the take over.
When push comes to shove the Germans won’t be involved because of their terrible history in the Balkans so that leaves the US silly poms and Turks. I doubt that the US is willing to get involved in another mess so soon after Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh one more matter there are no guarantees that the sides that stand aside wont join the Serbs – so much for NATO solidarity. That is the real concern for the Pentagon.
Let me inform you to the fact that the Serbian army is now right on the administrative line with Kosovo – now why would that is allowed? Hmmmmm? What happened to the Kumanovo agreement???? Minimum 5km away?????? All finished.
There will be no more agreement signed involving the Serbian army and that’s guaranteed. You people still live in the 1990s.
SERBIAN PEOPLE AND SERBS IN BOSNIA NEED TO ASK THEM SELVES WHO IS DODIK WORKING FOR AND WHO PAYS HIM.....UNTIL THEN ....WE NEED TO JUST EDUCATE OURSELVES NOT TO LISTEN FOREIGN AGENTS....
Once again you Albanians have it wrong. This man is not talking about fear of sending in troops at all but stating the facts that military action would be stupid and not because NATO, but simply because negotiations are going open behind closed doors over Kosovo. The Albanians have already been forced to sign away very important conditions in Belgrade’s favour because of “international pressure” and I believe more is on its way. That is what Dodik is talking about.
The EU is broke with only loans from China keeping it afloat and if you think that they are in any position to demand real conditions from Serbia your fooling yourself. All of this is the long road back to mother for Kosovo. Forget what you read in the papers as the EU as these are only saving face exercises such as continued talks with Pristina a condition of blah blah blah. IT’s pure 100% BS or face saving spin.
its really funny how b92 is full of exKfor soldiers who support the Serbian side :-). its also amusing how we get a lot of pro-Serb Americans here :-), even some who laud Eurovision! well, what to say? so long and thanks for all the fish!
Dodik only saying it like it is. Southern Kosovo should be integrated into Serbia by force if necessary. Organised criminals selling harvested organs and selling drugs need to be dealt with appropriately by the police with the support of the army if necessary. Thaci and his lot are living on borrowed time.

I don't think you understood what Dodik said about sending the army to Kosova. He actually is saying that only a fool would even think about it.
You should re-read again what Dodik said.
I think you misinterpreted his comment, he in some way recognises that Kosovo is independent and goes round it not to mention the independence. The only thing he is fighting for is for RS to join Serbia and that again not saying it straight but going round it.
I don't like Mr Thaci too, but when it comes to Serbia he is like penicillin.

I believe there is around 16K NATO troops in Kosovo. Out of the 16K NATO troops only the American, British,German and Turkish troops would fight, the rest of the NATO group would stand aside the same exact way UN stood on Srebrenica. Kosovo has no security force of it own that will match that of Serbia. So with a decent force Serbian army could fight its way to the Albanian border within hours. So why isnt then the Serbian army moving in and taking over its heatland. Because of what would happen the next day or the next hour. I hope you get the picture now.
So my answer to you is that when and if NATO decides to leave Kosovo, Serbian army will never again be able to cross the line as an agreement will be signed that will guarantee Kosovos security and territorial intergrity. If you think this is bluff try crossing the border and see how your mighty army will be decimated within days.

He did say that, good observation. But now be honest, is he saying that because of fearing the big bad mighty organ extractors, or because of NATO-KFOR?
The solution is simple, I cannot tell you when KFOR is going to fully withdraw (I don't make outrageous claims that they are leaving tomorrow unlike Albs who say they will be there forever)
but whenever they do leave, Serbia takes back its rightful borders and reintegrates southern Kosovo into Serbian institutions.
Those who want to stay, I promise we wont rape your daugther or extract your kidneys.
I respect Dodik's point of view. Putting the Serbian army on alert demonstrates readiness, it indicates don't go to far because we're here.
It implies we will respond accordingly. Contrary to the sell out, Tadic, who literally gave the Evil Empire permission to go and rip Serbia apart, how many times has he professed, "we'll do it diplomatically," to the very country that he knew has no respect for diplomacy. He blamed Milosevic for the Kosovo situation. I'm sorry Mr. Tadic, however, Milosevic never sold his country out. Despite his shortcomings, regarding Kosovo, he was noble, patriotic, had the guts, and did the right thing. I hope Nikolic hangs Tadic for treason and election fraud.
What Dodik says is absolutely correct, though I would add that the Serbian army be literally sitting on the fictional border, while at the same time initiating martial law in Presevo and Bujanovac to secure those areas of albanian terrorist threats. What confuses me is if he thinks this then why did he support Tadic? Tadic was the biggest coward when it came to this issue.
Dodik says he'd "put Serbian army on alert" Dodo Serbia dose not even have money to go on alert. Over 90% of Serbia's armed forces budget goes to retirement payments because Serbia loaded up the EX Serbo/Yugoslavia army with Serbs and also salary's. The majority of the 1960-1970's era weapons that Serbia stole don't even have the money to extend their life or modernization and maintenance if possible. Don't forget feeding the troops housing them ,fuel ,ammunition etc no money in poor Serbia. Then their is the huge expense keeping the fantasy going of a "Srpska entity" aka Greater Belgrade Serbia criminal war pogrom in the country of Bosnia. Dodo definitely you should be Serbia's president you would exhilarate expediently Greater Serbia's self inflicted demise.
I don't understand this short mentality when not too long ago what Dodik said was done and it just backfired into Belgrade. How can dome people here even suggest that NATO would stand aside and not retaliate when NATO bombed the capital city of your country, and you think that if the Serbian army walks in and crosses the border NATO would just stand aside?
Honestly why do people make such ridiculous comments is way beyond me.
Having the army on high alert it would be a waist of time and energy because that's all it would be no more than just in high alert and the army can only stay on high alert for some time before it is exhausted and then realize that that's all it will be.
Listen, there will not be another chance for Serbia to have its forces in Kosovo/a, that situation has long gone. For those people that think, well, when the international forces are gone, we will just go in and take it again, you can't possibly and actually believe that they will just leave without any assurance that the Serbian army does not step a foot into Kosovo/a.
Either way the US will not leave Kosovo for a long time and I am not claiming this because the US cares for the Albanians but they are the to prevent Russia from exerting its influence in the region and they will stay there as long as it takes to do just that and Kosovo/a is the perfect place for them to do that, it was also the reason in the first place they went in.
Cheers, and honestly, Dodik is a complete moron.
Dodik stop saying that, because if you don't, Lenard (who I must remind everyone again used the word darling while calling ME gay) will call you "Dodo" and say Republika Srpska is "fictitious" (in who's eyes? all three sides signed its existence on paper)and call it 'aka greater Belgrade' (wtf)
^^like any of that is supposed to hurt anybody's feelings. Like Dodik (who I'm not a big fan of) or any other Serb cares about what the organizer of Split's gay parade has to say about anything.
Lenard, the self-described "darling of the world".
John, get your facts straight brother, there are only 6209 NATO Troops in Kosovo, Brits make up the grand total of 1, the top 3 contributing countries are Germany, Italy and Austria in that order. The evil American empire's contribution is half of what Italy and Germany Contribute, about 750 soldiers total. I visited Bondsteel today, half of the soldiers accomodations have been demolished. Here is the National make up of Bondsteel, Greece, Polish, Ukraine, Cotatia, and U.S. for a total non U.S. force structure of 559 total soldiers. Get your facts straight before posting crap.
Here is a little bit of information for you Albanians who think that you have the U.S. fooled. Serbs were granted more immigration visas for 2011 than Kosovo and Albania combined. We have enough problems and don't need the higher crime rates.
We did bomb the wrong side.
If Dodik is so tough why doesn't he declare independence? Talking is cheap.
(Avni, 13 June 2012 17:11)
Declaring independence is not everything. Republika Srpska is a lot more independent in name than Pristina is.
Think about it, ALL of RS's affairs come from Banja Luka by SERBS. Kosovo* is an western protectorate and the Albanians cannot make a decision that isn't already accepted by the west.
Think about it, your "president" was hand chosen by fake ambassador Dell off his smartphone. Some country!
The US and Europe have already seen the thanks that the Albos have given them, e.g. all the welcomed terrorist attacks. In reality, the "kosovars" are just as flip-flopping as their NATO caretakers. How Do they expect to maintain foreign support by killing armed forces and attacking US military camps in New Jersey? By selling them organs? Maybe opium? Get out of here, the world is awake. The people are for Serbia, with the exception of those that run the talking points in these bigger countries. I can tell you for a fact, from an American perspective, the average citizens viewpoint on the whole conflict leans dramatically towards the Serbs. They have the president of the UN and we will chair the OSCE in 2014. The "independent state of Kosovo" can't even get into Eurovision! (Serbia took third this year)
@Lenard
You are truly lost. Good to see an albo like you spending a lot of time on here, even though your grammar is horrible. However, you are wrong, Serbia exports more military equipment than anyone in the region. Im sure they are dealing with the cost. And its not as expensive for food as it once was, as the army is now professionalized, not mandatory. Where you were forced to feed everyone.
Lenard, you are lost. Go read up on your albo stats.. Albania spends 1/6 th the money Serbia does on its military, and has many less soldiers and weapons. Not to mention, those trolls in Pristina have nothing. so please Lenard..spare us your knowledge. Only 30% of the Serb military budget goes to pensions. Please learn not to state untrue statements, makes me not want to read your comments ever. albos are weakest in the balkans, Serbs are the strongest.
but they are the to prevent Russia from exerting its influence in the region and they will stay there as long as it takes to do just that and Kosovo/a is the perfect place for them to do that, it was also the reason in the first place they went in.
But now there is another show in town,the Putin show,not a drunken Jester like Yeltsin,US arrogance is in for a shock,also the Serbs should have gone back into Kosovo years ago but that bunch of quislings in belgrade didn't have the ball's.
I think someone should show Dodik the state of the Serbian economy and point out to him that Serbia is nearing bunkruptcy even without an unnecessary military escalation. Dodik always comes up with grandiose inane ideas and never mentions how he would pay for them. Who's going to pay for the military escalation? If the Serbia army couldn't defeat any of its opponents when it was full strength in the 90s (basically in control of all of Yugoslavia's arms and munitions) what chance does the much smaller, weaker, and poorer current Serbian army stand against opponents that have become stronger in the past two decades? Serbia does not have a single ally in it's neighborhood is in fact surrounded by countries that would gladly see further erosion of Serbia's economy and influence in the region. Dodik lives in a fantasy world and is continually making statements and decisions that harm the Serbian people's interestes and make him sound mentally unbalanced.
As an American, I am so happy to see my fellow citizens showing their support to Serbia and Serbian people. Serbs are the most respectable people in the region: they are intellect, artistic and courageous! Love you Serbia and Serbian people!
@Lenard,
All Serbia needs to defends itself is a single Serb with a rifle and a Serbian heart. Look at what we did against the mighty Austrians while your people were quick to adopt a servile status and actually BEG them to rule you for centuries. Our history is very different. Learn about Serbian history and the brave Serbian heart before you post nonsense.
@kosovoexpatRarely do you hear exact facts, truth, and strong sentiment by a soldier there. You are right...and thank you for the explosive statement...along with the stat on visas. Europe knows..as well as the US that they dont want the albos anywhere around...hence that statistic. Thank you for your words...be safe
And then he continues: "only a crazy person would send the army to Kosovo"
so go figure. "we have an army but we won't use it" LOL.
@Kosovoexpat
you must be wrong sir or lying or just did not count very well during your visit at Bondsteel. The more informed Serbian commentators on this site have ensured us very often that Bondsteel is the largest American base in the world and that the attack on Serbia in 1999 happened to build that base in Serbian territory.
Once again you Albanians have it wrong. This man is not talking about fear of sending in troops at all but stating the facts that military action would be stupid and not because NATO, but simply because negotiations are going open behind closed doors over Kosovo. The Albanians have already been forced to sign away very important conditions in Belgrade’s favour because of “international pressure” and I believe more is on its way. That is what Dodik is talking about.
The EU is broke with only loans from China keeping it afloat and if you think that they are in any position to demand real conditions from Serbia your fooling yourself. All of this is the long road back to mother for Kosovo. Forget what you read in the papers as the EU as these are only saving face exercises such as continued talks with Pristina a condition of blah blah blah. IT’s pure 100% BS or face saving spin.
NATO is a finished group. Now if you think that Belgrade would go in without Moscow’s blessing then you’re crazy. The status quo will remain until the time is right for the take over.
When push comes to shove the Germans won’t be involved because of their terrible history in the Balkans so that leaves the US silly poms and Turks. I doubt that the US is willing to get involved in another mess so soon after Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh one more matter there are no guarantees that the sides that stand aside wont join the Serbs – so much for NATO solidarity. That is the real concern for the Pentagon.
Let me inform you to the fact that the Serbian army is now right on the administrative line with Kosovo – now why would that is allowed? Hmmmmm? What happened to the Kumanovo agreement???? Minimum 5km away?????? All finished.
There will be no more agreement signed involving the Serbian army and that’s guaranteed. You people still live in the 1990s.
Serbs are the strongest.
(Momcilo, 13 June 2012 22:37)
You need you work on your "grammar" as well. Not only that, but you said "serbs are the strongest," what an asinine thing to say. However, thank you for that, because I needed a laugh.
Momcilo it is 90% as you can see in 1996 it was 72% http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2006&mm=08&dd=16&nav_id=36164 now it is 90% in 2012 just cant locate the figures where I saw it. Im not Albanian Im http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCazYqft-Y&NR=1 .
I really apologise to say that but this minister or whatever is in R. Srpska i think he has no brain or i think he never ever been to school. How he can say those words in this situation when evryone wants to be part of europe and to be part of europse fristly you should be good educated. We are lving in 21st Decade dear Minister and you should read more and educated more because with this brain you won't be part of EU. Please go study as much as you can you really need to
The Serbian army had to leave Kosovo, because it was defeated by US-Airforce. It is not really realistic that Serbs can gain something by any armed clash.
its really funny how b92 is full of exKfor soldiers who support the Serbian side :-). its also amusing how we get a lot of pro-Serb Americans here :-), even some who laud Eurovision! well, what to say? so long and thanks for all the fish!
Dodik is all talk, sitting in Banja Luka 1000km away from Kosovo and giving orders from his lounge room sofa, what a joke. If Serbia did send troops to Kosovo, it is more than likely that Dodik would not provide a cent to Serbia and not even send one Serb from RS to fight in Kosovo. Yes Serbia did put up a very good fight against NATO and technically did win the war in 1999, but what does Serbia expect too do by invading? Most of the Serbs have sold up their homes and left, Serbs themselves have let the Albanians spread, no one in Serbia is willing to fight for Kosovo so why do we deserve it? Plus whats next for dodik? Should Serbia invade Croatia and take back Knin? What a joke
SERBIAN PEOPLE AND SERBS IN BOSNIA NEED TO ASK THEM SELVES WHO IS DODIK WORKING FOR AND WHO PAYS HIM.....UNTIL THEN ....WE NEED TO JUST EDUCATE OURSELVES NOT TO LISTEN FOREIGN AGENTS....
