DS party leader shakes hands with Kosovo Albanian PM

sell-out tadic makes me sick !!!!!

Tadic,you are a MAJOR ASSHOLE!

Tadic is just mad he got smacked in the last election and now lost the government too so out of frustration he pulls a move like this.

What a pathetic man, nothing better than a jail cell is what he deserves

Boris Tadic,you are not a Serb.You are a S.O.B. Shaking hands with a piece of garbage [tachi}the blood of murdered Serbs is now on your hands.A curse on you and your family.Go to romania and shake hands with that american general{scum}.You IDIOT!

Tadic offered Thaci his hand, and Thaci took that along with his kidneys ...

"sell-out tadic makes me sick !!!!!
(grobar1, 7 July 2012 14:14)"

why else do you think he lost the election?

And now blood on Thadic's hands from Thaci. Looks like he doesn't want to be in government again.

"Serbian officials are not attending the summit due to Thaci’s participation"

Serbia is not as independent as we thought... Serbia's participation in summits is dependend on Thaci's decisions :)

guys Seriously? Tadic is one of the smartest politicians Serbia has ever had , do you think he lost election because he didn't have the support? Bitch Please, he let all the dirty work to Nikolic at a time when Serbia is in its most crucial period of time ever. Somebody will have to recognize Kosovo as a country , EU won't accept another Cyprus the EU saying they won't force Serbia to recognize Kosovo is bullshit , and Tadic knows it he doesn't want to be considered in Serbian history as the "traitor who gave up Kosovo" so , so Nikolic good luck you'll need it!

'Tadic offered Thaci his hand, and Thaci took that along with his kidneys ...'

& his wristwatch too.

This is a regional meeting, so only Kosovo* Prime minister can be amongst the participants. Or do they violate the Belgrade-Pristina agreement once again?
(Comm. Parrisson, 7 July 2012 13:44)
Actually if Serbia is not present, the agreement does not have to be honored, it was only an agreement so both Kosovo and Serbia could attend together. The agreement is not binding on any other party and they have the freedom as to whether follow it or not.

No turning back Serberia! A handshake today, recognition tomorrow. Its only a matter of time. Good thing Tadic has the courage to do what future generations of Serbs will have to do anyway.

This Handshake will pretty much end Tadics political career.
all his opponents will have monster ammo to use.

Serbian officials are not attending the summit due to Thaci’s participation.


and, who is Tadic representing, since he is the leader of second largest political party in Serbia???
At least Tadic is not scared of Zmija, wish I can say the same for Nikolic and Ivica.

Shaking hands, shining shoes or kissing buttocks, the clown Tadic exits without dignity. He is yesterday's man still shilling for the papier mache EU and USA. Thanks for the laugh.

(Willi Pfaff, 7 July 2012 16:28)

Tadic is gone and so are his politics...

This is not 1999 anymore,we have a strong Russian & Chinese support,and the ridicilous "technical talks" will be terminated very soon!
Kosovo is part of Serbia according to UN1244 ,blocked by China,Russia,Spain etc. and now that these corrupt criminals are out of government we will keep Kosovo isolated,until it is de facto fully reintegrated into Serbia!


Be sure of one thing,no matter how much you bribe some of our corruptest politicians,no matter how often you repeat your Goebbels propaganda,no matter what you say we Serbs WILL NEVER EVER ACCEPT the stealing and occupation of our southern province!


I have three children,the fourth is on its way and even before they learn to speak they will know that Kosovo is part of Serbia and that it will be the sense of their life to fight for it!


Even if it takes another 500 years like under the Ottomans,where countless generations of Serbs listened to our magnificient Guslari and vowed to avenge the Kosovo heroes of 1389 and finally succeded in 1912 we will succeed again to free it,this time forever!

We Serbs have stood down Ottomans,Austro Hungarians,Germans we will stand down the evil US the same way!
Nothing will rip Kosovo out of our hearts!

"Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci is, however, among the participants of the summit in Dubrovnik."

This is a regional meeting, so only Kosovo* Prime minister can be amongst the participants. Or do they violate the Belgrade-Pristina agreement once again?

I hope Tadic is welcomed back in Serbia with protests. Coward.

the serbian front against Kosovo is starting to melt away, and this will put immense pressure on the Nicolic- Dacic regime. A very inteligent move by Tadic, which will cause a huge controversy in Serbia. Lets hope this will be the beginning of a healthier approach to the subject, and the end of the stubborn and redicules NO- NO-NEVER-EVER debate, and a realistic facing of the Kosovo reality. Going that way, will be a win to the entire western Balkans, and as Tadic also said, good for all the future generations that live in that part of the world.

Judas!
Send him to Pristina forever...

The handshake was/is historic. Good for you PM Thaci, I was surprised how comfortable you were shaking this mans' hand.
(KOSO, 7 July 2012 16:14)

Just as comfortable as Al Capone shaking hands with Hoover :)

If shaking hands with a loser/has-been makes it "historic" for Thaci .... well, lets just say that that's your opinion which you are entitled to.

“Woe to them that call evil good and good evil; who make darkness light and light darkness. … Woe to them who are wise in their own conceit … who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous” (Is. 5:20-23)! And we wonder why we are having this extreem weather...

They say that you can tell a lot about a Person by the Company that he keeps, and that he travels to seek.

Tadic does not have to pretend anymore, and we now understand his real attitude when he was the President.

so what, people in Serbia are you going to wake up or what??? phhh those comments make me sick.. as albanian I think we have many reason to accuse pm Thaci, but still that meeting I see just as a good thing for our states and for the people as well..

No, Croatia Summit is International summit not Regional one. Therefore no Belgrade-Pristina Agreement on Kosovo representation with denomimation Kosovo* is violated.

Boris Thaci now has free hands :)

(lowe, 7 July 2012 17:45)

The term 'historic' implies a significant event that affects all parties. You see when wikileaks/cablegate was happening not too long ago, PM Tadiq was denying meeting and shaking hands with PM Thaci. Here in the day light for the world to see we saw a friendly greeting.

Brussels forward and on will have the same expectation for belgrade officials to at least acknowledge all Kosovar officials by (bare min) shake hands.

Sincerely,

I agree with Tadic, this almost accidental handshake has no symbolic meaning whatsoever, besides is better to shake hands than kill each other. But this being the Balkans where emotions overwhelm logic to be normal one needs to be crazy first.

Now that Tadic has shaken hands with the very person who has Serbian blood on his hands, makes Tadic have Serbian blood on his hands too.
Apart from Jovanovic, we could not have a bigger traitor.
Hope Serbian people can now see who they believed in and who they voted for in the last election.
I suppose Tadic just wants to make his kids happy because after all they too are Croatian according to him. So he can't possibly be a fully committed Serb when he acknowledges that his kids aren't.

Just wondering how long a Croatian president would last if he admitted to the same thing.
(Peggy, 8 July 2012 12:00)

Ivica Dačić (as well as his party) has the blood of neighbouring nations on his hands, if a politician of a neighbouring nation were to shake Dačić's hand, would they have their own people's blood on their hand? And therefore a traitor to their own people?

It's a good thing you showed your "true colors" Tadic.You deserved to "lose" the election afterall because the Serbian people will never vote for people like you.

am i the only one who thinks this is not a big deal?

I think Tadic has just dug his own political grave.

Tadic does what any American PUPETT does,he is told by his masters to sit he sits.I wonder if his Swiss bank account is as good as Mr Arafat's was he too was helping his own people with a HUGE Swiss bank account (LOL)Tadic again proves why he is not Leader of Serbia,showing again why people lost faith in him.A traitor by any other name...I wonder if his last words in office were GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Former Serbian president was not allowed to do this. We must never forget that the "yellow house" and all week against innocent Serbs. Tadic had to respect the decisions of state institutions.

I must start respecting both of the leaders.
We cannot move on and make peoples' lives better by hating forever.
May we see more understanding than just handshakes.

"The term 'historic' implies a significant event that affects all parties. You see when wikileaks/cablegate was happening not too long ago, PM Tadiq was denying meeting and shaking hands with PM Thaci. Here in the day light for the world to see we saw a friendly greeting."

As I told you earlier, if this handshake is, to you, "historic" ("significant event") that affects "all parties" -- well, ironically I'm inclined to agree -- it should affect "all parties" who shook their hands ie. Thaci and Tadic who no longer represents the Serbian government.

"Brussels forward and on will have the same expectation for belgrade officials to at least acknowledge all Kosovar officials by (bare min) shake hands.

Sure, when they hold regional meetings the reps of Serbia and Kosovo* should at least shake hands out of courtesy if nothing else. I can't imagine why people would make a mountain out of a molehill over that.

'Tadic offered Thaci his hand, and Thaci took that along with his kidneys ...'

& his wristwatch too.
(American from NJ, 7 July 2012 23:06)

Whoever wanted to learn the truth on what happened with President's Bush wristwatch in Tirana could see that, could see the video in YouTube showing that he has removed his wristwatch before going to shake hands with the crowd.
However, due to jealousy most of our Serb apologists here want to believe the opposite. To make the matters worst this is done with the support of B92. I tried many times to post the link of that video, but unfortunately it did not get through the administrator's filter.

Are you really comparing Dacic to Thaci?
(Peggy, 8 July 2012 15:45)

Yeah, you are right. What is he thinking? Dacic being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people when he served under Milosevic, and Thaci who is only suspected of crimes without even a shred of evidence provided so far.

First of all, I was not surprised that Tadic shook hand with this character. Second, when he shook his hand he did that as a President of Democratic Party not as President, so now we know what DS members are supporting. Third, I was surprised that Tadic didn't offer his apologies for giving Kosovo to this fellow, so easily since this move is something that tells me he had some kind of deal with Tachi. Fourth, I always new Tadic was and is against interests of Serbian people and with this hand-shaking he deserves to be prosecuted as traitor. This is my humble opinion and has nothing to do with the same opinion of other millions of Serbian people.

A handshake is but a handshake. The least you can expect from two men in a room. For now, I don't read anything special into it unless other news segue.

'Tadic offered Thaci his hand, and Thaci took that along with his kidneys ...'

(American from NJ, 7 July 2012 23:06)

This myth has been debunked a long time ago. George Bushes watch was never stolen.White House spokesman Tony Snow said "Bush's watch was not stolen by someone in the crowd. "The president put it in his pocket and it returned safely home," Snow said Tuesday."


Also, he had the same watch on in Bulgaria the following day of his trip. Saying George Bushs watch was stolen by Albanians is like saying Serbs never committed the largest act of Genocide since WWII in Srebernica. All the facts prove otherwise:)

“Woe to them that call evil good and good evil; who make darkness light and light darkness. … Woe to them who are wise in their own conceit … who justify the ungodly for rewards, and take away the righteousness of the righteous” (Is. 5:20-23)! And we wonder why we are having this extreem weather...

Absolutely, you can keep in your heart whatever you want for however long you wish – Kosovo’s independence was not about ripping Kosovo out of your heart, but ripping it out of Serbia’s control with the help of UNSC Resolution 1244.

why else do you think he lost the election?
(lowe, 7 July 2012 17:48)

because of Serbia's 20%+ unemployment rate and what we've read for years in the section to the right of this page labeled "Economic crisis in Serbia"

This is not 1999 anymore,we have a strong Russian & Chinese support
(CG, 7 July 2012 20:22)

Sure, with words… they don’t cost anything and fortunately that’s all is needed to make Serbs feel happy.

Kosovo is part of Serbia according to UN1244 ,blocked by China,Russia,Spain etc.
(CG, 7 July 2012 20:22)

I agree with you here that China, Russia & co. are blocking Kosovo to be part of Serbia since 1244 keeps out of Kosovo the Serbian forces.

Of course, Serbs are free to never accept that or that the sun rises in the east… as if anybody cares.

Good for them… Hopefully the rest of the Serbs do like you instead of focusing on petty things like working to get out of poverty in Serbia and build a life.

And yes it is a big lie that Albanians stole George Bush's wristwatch, the secret service directed him to take it off so it wouldnt get stolen.

'Tadic offered Thaci his hand, and Thaci took that along with his kidneys ...'

You are right, it isnt a big deal.

A friend is always a friend!

Are you really comparing Dacic to Thaci?
(Peggy, 8 July 2012 15:45)

Yes I am. Both were politicians in a war which they both supported and consequently people died. Both have wronged. I'd compare them to Bush and Blair too. All are/ were evil warmongers with blood on their hands!

Here is a better link of handshakes and mumbling :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=90EjZ9VSC5A

Tadic had plenty of chances to shake hands with Thaqi. Yet, he chose to do it after he lost the elections. I think it's a brilliant move by Tadic.

Some more food for some characters here: not only Tadic shook hands with Thaci, he also chose the table of Turkey to do this. What does this mean?
For dessert: this is a preview of what will happen in the next elections when the DS win.

And yes it is a big lie that Albanians stole George Bush's wristwatch, the secret service directed him to take it off so it wouldnt get stolen.
(ItalianoAmericano, 8 July 2012 18:40)

How do you know what the SS told Bush? Where you there? Perhaps you should study your comment a little closer. Is this an admission of Bush being amongst thieves?

Kosovo* Prime* minister*

The British Queen recently shook the hands of the former leader of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)this was a hard thing to do as the IRA murdered one of her relatives during the late 1970's. I think Tadic's move is the right thing to do. Thats all I shall say.

How do you know what the SS told Bush? Where you there? Perhaps you should study your comment a little closer. Is this an admission of Bush being amongst thieves?
(sj, 9 July 2012 00:04)

There is video of him taking it off and putting it in his pocket. Bush says in his book Decision Points that the Secret Service advised him to take the watch off or someone may take it and they didnt want to chase and beat down an Albanian over a $50 wristwatch. I wouldnt say I'm claiming the Albanians are thieves. Oddly the Albanians treated Bush like the Beatles or some huge celebrity and it was possible they would of snatched it to have a souvenir, just like if a rockstar entered a crowd in any country. No country in the world treated Bush as well as Albania. It made news here because they were the only people in the world at the time that liked the guy. It made the news because it was so strange the way he was treated, like a King or something, when at the time most of the world wasnt a fan of Mr. Bush.

The watch wasnt worth anything anyway, it was a $50 Timex watch that millions of people wear everyday.

Not thieves, starstruck behavior.

Why are Serbs so angry at Tadic? You guys voted him into office on consequetive occasions, and still allow him to walk around Beograd with his head held up high. Our country is stuffed, the last strong leader we had was Milosevic and Serbs gave him up like the dogs that they are for a "better" future. Serbs destroyed their own country and its a shame we all have to pay for it. God Help Us!

As I told you earlier, if this handshake is, to you, "historic" ("significant event") that affects "all parties" -- well, ironically I'm inclined to agree -- it should affect "all parties" who shook their hands ie. Thaci and Tadic who no longer represents the Serbian government.

"Brussels forward and on will have the same expectation for belgrade officials to at least acknowledge all Kosovar officials by (bare min) shake hands.

Sincerely,

Sure, when they hold regional meetings the reps of Serbia and Kosovo* should at least shake hands out of courtesy if nothing else. I can't imagine why people would make a mountain out of a molehill over that.

It's a good thing you showed your "true colors" Tadic.You deserved to "lose" the election afterall because the Serbian people will never vote for people like you.

Whoever wanted to learn the truth on what happened with President's Bush wristwatch in Tirana could see that, could see the video in YouTube showing that he has removed his wristwatch before going to shake hands with the crowd.
However, due to jealousy most of our Serb apologists here want to believe the opposite. To make the matters worst this is done with the support of B92. I tried many times to post the link of that video, but unfortunately it did not get through the administrator's filter.

am i the only one who thinks this is not a big deal?

Yep.

This myth has been debunked a long time ago. George Bushes watch was never stolen.White House spokesman Tony Snow said "Bush's watch was not stolen by someone in the crowd. "The president put it in his pocket and it returned safely home," Snow said Tuesday."


Also, he had the same watch on in Bulgaria the following day of his trip. Saying George Bushs watch was stolen by Albanians is like saying Serbs never committed the largest act of Genocide since WWII in Srebernica. All the facts prove otherwise:)

I must start respecting both of the leaders.
We cannot move on and make peoples' lives better by hating forever.
May we see more understanding than just handshakes.

Are you really comparing Dacic to Thaci?
(Peggy, 8 July 2012 15:45)

Yeah, you are right. What is he thinking? Dacic being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people when he served under Milosevic, and Thaci who is only suspected of crimes without even a shred of evidence provided so far.

Kosovo* Prime* minister*

WT? Am I on B92 or in church. I know it's Sunday but I don't remember going to church.
What has this got to do with the article or the weather?

This is not 1999 anymore,we have a strong Russian & Chinese support
(CG, 7 July 2012 20:22)

Sure, with words… they don’t cost anything and fortunately that’s all is needed to make Serbs feel happy.
----------

Kosovo is part of Serbia according to UN1244 ,blocked by China,Russia,Spain etc.
(CG, 7 July 2012 20:22)

I agree with you here that China, Russia & co. are blocking Kosovo to be part of Serbia since 1244 keeps out of Kosovo the Serbian forces.
----------

Be sure of one thing,no matter how much you bribe some of our corruptest politicians,no matter how often you repeat your Goebbels propaganda,no matter what you say we Serbs WILL NEVER EVER ACCEPT the stealing and occupation of our southern province!
(CG, 7 July 2012 20:22)

Of course, Serbs are free to never accept that or that the sun rises in the east… as if anybody cares.

I have three children,the fourth is on its way and even before they learn to speak they will know that Kosovo is part of Serbia and that it will be the sense of their life to fight for it!
(CG, 7 July 2012 20:22)

Good for them… Hopefully the rest of the Serbs do like you instead of focusing on petty things like working to get out of poverty in Serbia and build a life.

Are you really comparing Dacic to Thaci?
(Peggy, 8 July 2012 15:45)

Yes I am. Both were politicians in a war which they both supported and consequently people died. Both have wronged. I'd compare them to Bush and Blair too. All are/ were evil warmongers with blood on their hands!

Tadic does what any American PUPETT does,he is told by his masters to sit he sits.I wonder if his Swiss bank account is as good as Mr Arafat's was he too was helping his own people with a HUGE Swiss bank account (LOL)Tadic again proves why he is not Leader of Serbia,showing again why people lost faith in him.A traitor by any other name...I wonder if his last words in office were GOD BLESS AMERICA!

First of all, I was not surprised that Tadic shook hand with this character. Second, when he shook his hand he did that as a President of Democratic Party not as President, so now we know what DS members are supporting. Third, I was surprised that Tadic didn't offer his apologies for giving Kosovo to this fellow, so easily since this move is something that tells me he had some kind of deal with Tachi. Fourth, I always new Tadic was and is against interests of Serbian people and with this hand-shaking he deserves to be prosecuted as traitor. This is my humble opinion and has nothing to do with the same opinion of other millions of Serbian people.

I think Tadic has just dug his own political grave.

A handshake is but a handshake. The least you can expect from two men in a room. For now, I don't read anything special into it unless other news segue.

why else do you think he lost the election?
(lowe, 7 July 2012 17:48)

because of Serbia's 20%+ unemployment rate and what we've read for years in the section to the right of this page labeled "Economic crisis in Serbia"

Former Serbian president was not allowed to do this. We must never forget that the "yellow house" and all week against innocent Serbs. Tadic had to respect the decisions of state institutions.

Some more food for some characters here: not only Tadic shook hands with Thaci, he also chose the table of Turkey to do this. What does this mean?
For dessert: this is a preview of what will happen in the next elections when the DS win.

am i the only one who thinks this is not a big deal?
(Nikolle, 8 July 2012 11:53)


You are right, it isnt a big deal.

And yes it is a big lie that Albanians stole George Bush's wristwatch, the secret service directed him to take it off so it wouldnt get stolen.

Tadic had plenty of chances to shake hands with Thaqi. Yet, he chose to do it after he lost the elections. I think it's a brilliant move by Tadic.

The British Queen recently shook the hands of the former leader of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)this was a hard thing to do as the IRA murdered one of her relatives during the late 1970's. I think Tadic's move is the right thing to do. Thats all I shall say.

How do you know what the SS told Bush? Where you there? Perhaps you should study your comment a little closer. Is this an admission of Bush being amongst thieves?

There is video of him taking it off and putting it in his pocket. Bush says in his book Decision Points that the Secret Service advised him to take the watch off or someone may take it and they didnt want to chase and beat down an Albanian over a $50 wristwatch. I wouldnt say I'm claiming the Albanians are thieves. Oddly the Albanians treated Bush like the Beatles or some huge celebrity and it was possible they would of snatched it to have a souvenir, just like if a rockstar entered a crowd in any country. No country in the world treated Bush as well as Albania. It made news here because they were the only people in the world at the time that liked the guy. It made the news because it was so strange the way he was treated, like a King or something, when at the time most of the world wasnt a fan of Mr. Bush.

The watch wasnt worth anything anyway, it was a $50 Timex watch that millions of people wear everyday.

Not thieves, starstruck behavior.

A friend is always a friend!

Why are Serbs so angry at Tadic? You guys voted him into office on consequetive occasions, and still allow him to walk around Beograd with his head held up high. Our country is stuffed, the last strong leader we had was Milosevic and Serbs gave him up like the dogs that they are for a "better" future. Serbs destroyed their own country and its a shame we all have to pay for it. God Help Us!
