Well, dear! We are not talking about the IMF, WB or the boyscouts. The issue was the UN! Besides the reason Kosovo was allowed to join the IMF is because its a financial catastrophe:
(MikeC, 19 July 2012 17:36)

Indeed, we were talking whether Kosovo is a country. So, when countries were called to vote whether Kosovo is a country, 109 of them said Yes... and that is the majority of the countries in the world, assuming, of course, that the world has no more than 217 countries :)

What do you have to say about that, dear!
(MikeC, 19 July 2012 17:36
So you are saying Kosovo is just like Serbia as Serbia has had to borrow huge from the IMF along with anyone that had a spare nickel. You quote supports the argument that Kosovo is considered an equal among the countries of the balkans, not the argument you wanted to make.

"The issue was pushed ahead partly by the weakness of Eastern Europe in the global crisis, as one economy after the other was forced to call for IMF aid. Pressure grew to bring Kosovo under the IMF umbrella so it could make sure of the same resource. Kosovo is widely expected to ask the IMF for financing."

OK, you go first. Let's hear you condemn all those Serb murders and then let's see if the rest of Albanians will follow. I won't hold my breath. Each time a Serb gets killed it is excused as he/she deserved it because they are war criminals.
So how about it? Start practicing what you are preaching.
(Peggy, 19 July 2012 15:55)

Peggy I will refresh your selective memory. The vast majority of Albanians condemned the murder. Go back and find the posts. We even had our crazies telling us not condemn it. When the Albanian was murdered in his home you didn't give a damn. Go read the posts. So stop trying too hard. You're so bitter about Kosova that you've lost the sense of being humane. I condemn the murder and if the killer was Albanian ( there's a chance he was) he should rot in jail. I have no problem condemning criminals of my ethnicity. Smaller minds do. Plenty of those in this forum. You know who you are.

Motives for the attacks;West:"Washington,London and Paris said it was unknown whether the latest attacks were ethnically motivated."Moscow/Beijing disagee for rather obvious reason.The nature of the conflict is ethnic hatred.Therefore there is no other logical reasons for the attacks on Serbian people,children and all other objects which are Serbian in character.The West has been in Kosovo 12 + years with the promise to build prosperous ethnically tolerant society,objectively speaking,by any standard, the West has failed in all stated categories.It appears now that West is accepting a degree of violence as the way of presuring Serbs, especially Northern Kosovo to accept Kosovo Albanian rules.Government of Serbia should categorically reject this callous attempts by the West.With continue violence ethnic reconciliation can not take place.Serbian Goverment should articulate this issue with the help of Moscow/Beijing in UNSC

So Serbs either quiet down completely or make as much noise when an Albanian is killed in Serb majority areas. Otherwise its pretty evident that what you care about is a news title, not the victims.

"UN condemns attacks on Kosovo Serbs

NEW YORK -- Ambassadors of UN Security Council members condemned the latest attacks against Kosovo Serbs in closed-doors consultations held Tuesday, Tanjug has learned"

Just a clarification for the B92 editor who wrote this (who must be a novice regarding UN), that "UN" and "Ambassadors of UN Security Council members" are not the same thing.

pre 11 godina

Did the Russian Ambassador talk about the bomb that was set in N.Mitrovica in the house of an Albanian that killed him and injured his family, child included? Was he angry about that ethnically motivated murder? I don't see any Serbs here condemn that ethnically motivated murder and neither did they convene an urgent session of the UN. Neither did they condemn that when it happened. So what is this fake sense of concern all about? You are either shocked by the murder of innocent people or you are not. You cannot just not give a damn about the murder of an Albanian sleeping in his home surrounded by Serb neighbors and then act shocked when a Serb sleeping in his home surrounded by Albanian neighbors is murdered. It is precisely because of people who think its no big deal when someone from a different ethnicity is killed that these things are happening and that includes most of the posters here. Don't expect anything different as long as you tolerate murders because it happened to the other ethnicity. So Serbs either quiet down completely or make as much noise when an Albanian is killed in Serb majority areas. Otherwise its pretty evident that what you care about is a news title, not the victims.

(Ari Gold, 18 July 2012 21:22)

Don't worry there's others out there to keep things grounded. I'm not sure the arrogance of the Serb posters here knows any bounds. If I was from another galaxy and red your post, sj's posts, jovan's posts, peggy's posts, ecoman's posts I'd think Serbia rules this planet for sure but maybe even the whole galaxy, that is how much arrogance your posts ooze. Every single one of them. What gives it away though is that bitterness that characterizes your posts. They are arrogant yet bitter. They are weird in a creepy way. Try to come down to earth sometimes

@SCP UK

sorry what is delusional is your dream and a dream that is non existent, as all dreams!

The KLA started a war after many years of peacefull protest led by Ibrahim Rugova. As a result the USA and the EU (most of the world really apart from communist like China and Russia) supported the KLA to bring down the regime.

Now the Syrians are in a similar situation, and they come to ask for advise on how the KLA managed to attract world attention as they did at the time.

Stop posting bias comments its really childish and Ultra nationalist.

Always when there are attacks on serbs in Kosovo you bring up what happend during the war. How can you compare what happens during war and peace? A war is not a pleasent thing. However, the burning of churches and the murder/expulsion of a minority is all taking place in a period when there is suppose to be peace, supervised by the mighties military alliance in the world. If you are always going to compare incidents today in Kosovo with what happend during the war how can you be surprised that this conflict has not ended.

LOL God forbid their pet project should be seen as anything but the multiethnic law abiding democratic paradise they desperately want to believe it is. I'm surprised they didn't condemn the murdered Serbs for antagonizing Albanian sensitivities.

They forget that the Albanian governments policy of killings, beatings, jailings, & torture were in fact practiced on the Serbian population of Kosovo for over 130 years, it was state sponsored terrorism at its best! - Rocky
True, Rocky, Albanians have murdered and driven Serbs from KiM since Ottoman times. They tried hard to cleanse Serbs from KiM also during WWII, when they joined the Nazi's in trying to rid Kosovo of Serbs. Well, here we are in 2012, Rocky, and the Albanians continue to murder Serbs, and try and cleanse them from KiM. Things never change with you Albanians - how much pure Albanian populated land is enough for you?

The Serbs see these isolated attacks on Serbs living in Kosova as a violation of thier human rights. They forget that the Serbian governments policy of killings, beatings, jailings, & torture were in fact practiced on the Albanian population of Kosova for over 30 years, it was state sponsored terrorism at its best! While I personally am against the killing of any ethnic group, I did not sustain any loss of any family members during the conflict in Kosova, although a few male relatives were wounded by Serb snipers... But one must take into account that a large Albanian population in Kosova lost their entire family's! Therefore it is very possible for some individuals to perpetrate these isolated attacks! But these individual actions are just that, isolated... I truly believe that with time,these attacks will subside, some individuals are just letting off a little buildup of steam... While the U.N. has a duty of condemning such attacks wherever they may be, I also think that the majority of the U.N. will agree with my opinion that, these actions are individual acts & not state sponsored, and in time things will get better for everyone in Kosova, the Serbs too!

"Representatives of Russia brought up the issue of Libyan and Syrian training camps in Kosovo" - we have had human organ trafficking by Dick who will refuse to testify or provide evidence after his media outburst!!!!

Now we have Syrian training camps in Kosovo lol. It is fact that the Syrian opposition visited the former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders to be more informed on how they toppled the Millosovic reigim and freed Kosovo, but there are certainly no trainning camps!!!

This all sounds like its an attempt by Serbo-Russia to stop or delay the recognition of Kosovo!!!

The NATO war criminals are obviously still supporting their organ snatching friends, and supporting the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Serbian population of Kosovo.
Keep hammering these war criminals with the truth, and eventually they will relent. Serbia needs to wait it out, the western war criminals are bankrupt and Russia is stronger day by day. Our time will come.

Kosovo Je Srbija, NATO Will leave in a few months. As a matter of fact, they have already reduced their number down to 200 UN Peacekeepers. Nikolic will be a president of our beloved Kosovo soon, as soon as we abolish the current Pristina government, and take back what once was given to us by our great Hero Lzar back in 1389. European Union is about to collapse, according to my sources they will be no longer around after 2012. United States is getting weak, while Serbia is getting stronger day by day. We are about to the the most dominant country in Europe. We will form the next European Union with our Slavic Orthodox brothers, even though most of them have recognized our KOSOVO.

Until Serbia starts to protect its own citizens like every other nation, and especially in their own country, all this is in vain.

US, GB, and France sing the same old tune of denial, while Russia and China are trying to expose the reality of what is going on in KiM. Some members are not sure whether the attacks and murders were ethnically motivated - are you f'ing kidding me? It is pure ethnic violence, and could not be more obvious. The three Western members of the UNSC are disgrace to the UN, and always, always use their status to push through their agendas. Even with this blatant denial of Albanian crimes against the Serbs in KiM, they still beg Russia and China to push through their agendas in the Middle East - hypocrites!

We will never get anywhere so long as people refuse to stray off their party lines. It's amazing how far the Western governments will go to not allow a single incident to portray Kosovo's Albanians poorly. We will never have any peace in that region until Western officials admit that Albanians in Kosovo can actually do hurtful things to Serbs. We already know that Serbs have admitted doing hurtful things to Albanians but for goodness sakes man accept the truth. Yes, Albanians can and do commit crimes.

sorry what is delusional is your dream and a dream that is non existent, as all dreams!

The KLA started a war after many years of peacefull protest led by Ibrahim Rugova. As a result the USA and the EU (most of the world really apart from communist like China and Russia) supported the KLA to bring down the regime.

Now the Syrians are in a similar situation, and they come to ask for advise on how the KLA managed to attract world attention as they did at the time.

Stop posting bias comments its really childish and Ultra nationalist.

Did the Russian Ambassador talk about the bomb that was set in N.Mitrovica in the house of an Albanian that killed him and injured his family, child included? Was he angry about that ethnically motivated murder? I don't see any Serbs here condemn that ethnically motivated murder and neither did they convene an urgent session of the UN. Neither did they condemn that when it happened. So what is this fake sense of concern all about? You are either shocked by the murder of innocent people or you are not. You cannot just not give a damn about the murder of an Albanian sleeping in his home surrounded by Serb neighbors and then act shocked when a Serb sleeping in his home surrounded by Albanian neighbors is murdered. It is precisely because of people who think its no big deal when someone from a different ethnicity is killed that these things are happening and that includes most of the posters here. Don't expect anything different as long as you tolerate murders because it happened to the other ethnicity. So Serbs either quiet down completely or make as much noise when an Albanian is killed in Serb majority areas. Otherwise its pretty evident that what you care about is a news title, not the victims.

The Serbs see these isolated attacks on Serbs living in Kosova as a violation of thier human rights. They forget that the Serbian governments policy of killings, beatings, jailings, & torture were in fact practiced on the Albanian population of Kosova for over 30 years, it was state sponsored terrorism at its best! While I personally am against the killing of any ethnic group, I did not sustain any loss of any family members during the conflict in Kosova, although a few male relatives were wounded by Serb snipers... But one must take into account that a large Albanian population in Kosova lost their entire family's! Therefore it is very possible for some individuals to perpetrate these isolated attacks! But these individual actions are just that, isolated... I truly believe that with time,these attacks will subside, some individuals are just letting off a little buildup of steam... While the U.N. has a duty of condemning such attacks wherever they may be, I also think that the majority of the U.N. will agree with my opinion that, these actions are individual acts & not state sponsored, and in time things will get better for everyone in Kosova, the Serbs too!

European Union is about to collapse, according to my sources they will be no longer around after 2012. United States is getting weak, while Serbia is getting stronger day by day. We are about to the the most dominant country in Europe. We will form the next European Union with our Slavic Orthodox brothers, even though most of them have recognized our KOSOVO.

The three Western members of the UNSC are disgrace to the UN, and always, always use their status to push through their agendas.

We will never get anywhere so long as people refuse to stray off their party lines. It's amazing how far the Western governments will go to not allow a single incident to portray Kosovo's Albanians poorly. We will never have any peace in that region until Western officials admit that Albanians in Kosovo can actually do hurtful things to Serbs. We already know that Serbs have admitted doing hurtful things to Albanians but for goodness sakes man accept the truth. Yes, Albanians can and do commit crimes.

True, Rocky, Albanians have murdered and driven Serbs from KiM since Ottoman times. They tried hard to cleanse Serbs from KiM also during WWII, when they joined the Nazi's in trying to rid Kosovo of Serbs. Well, here we are in 2012, Rocky, and the Albanians continue to murder Serbs, and try and cleanse them from KiM.

Always when there are attacks on serbs in Kosovo you bring up what happend during the war. How can you compare what happens during war and peace? A war is not a pleasent thing.

If you are always going to compare incidents today in Kosovo with what happend during the war how can you be surprised that this conflict has not ended.
