Daily: President has EU diplomats "worried"

What these Eurocrats should be worried about is radical Islam in the Balkans. Guess who they will ask to protect them again.

The EU will persist until it achieves their image of what the entire European continent should look like. All these wars, all these allies, all this meddling in other countries' affairs, has nothing to do with humanitarian help, or political, judicial reforms - it has to do with creating an Europe how the Brussels heads want. Unfortunately, the EU is now in big trouble, and it is not the panacea of social and economic woes for struggling nations. I am not sure where these former radicals/socialists are taking Serbia, but in any case, slow it down, and make good choices that will benefit Serbia, and not just the EU. As for KiM, it will be there just like it always has, there is no rush there either. Sooner or later, the West will tire of the billions spent there, with little to show for, and may re-evaluate its investments there. The world has changed since the late 90's, and there are more strategic places of interest around the world, than Kosovo.

Jeff

Unfortunately for all of you fanatic Serbians, there is no Radical Islam in Balkans. I know you Serbs wish that did exist just so you can justify your genocide from the 90's. Fact of the matter is we Albanian Christians and Muslims get along just fine. We are the primary example that religions can co-exist within out societies. Every holiday we participate at one another's gathering out of respect. I can't say the same about Serbs, Christ what it stands for has been abused by Serbians. We all know that, so don't waste your time claiming that you were defending Christ. Exactly how many Croats were Muslims? All the ones that you have killed and tortured? Burned their houses and churches. What part of Christ were you saving Jeff? I know you're a Serb too so don't fool yourself.

what the hell is a strategic place ecoman? however you wish to dress it up, Kosova now is a better place than it was in the 90's. it is not like say Afghanistan or Iraq where the local people are killing NATO soldiers. we are happy to have them here. big difference. is it a normal country? depends on what you define by normal. a UN seat would undoubtedly consolidate its statehood, but it is in no way a necessity.

as for your other points, i have no idea what to make of them. of course people who run the EU would want to steer it a direction that they think is best. truth is Serbia doesn't have to join, no one is forcing yot to. you can always vote those who want nothing to do with the European Union

You elect a nationalist government

U get Kosovo
Rise in PDV
Increase in food + gas prices
+ many new enemies to make the already hard living conditions, harder.

all you "AMEN, prayers have been answered.." people that chose these idiots, what do u have to say now?

well, to borrow that Yankee ex-president Clinton's phrase -- "its the economy, stupid!" (or words to that effect). I dunno whether those ostriches in Brussels are determined to keep their heads stuck inside the sand until they suffocate or what, but it should be plain to anyone with an ounce of brains that the EU economies today ain't exactly what they were back in 1999.

I am sure Nikolic will note the EU's concerns about him on a roll of toilet paper in order that he can due attention to such concerns.

Albanian, just like every European country, radical Islam will find its way to Kosovo, too, if it hasn't already. There is a price to pay for all the gifts, donations, building of mosques, that come from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. Just keep sticking your hand out to Muslim countries, and it will not be long before all your women are hidden behind those demeaning burkas. This matter has nothing to do with Serbs, but Islam's desire to spread over the world. I know that Albanians are not religious Muslins, and that they converted to Islam for benefits, many years ago, but that will change.

Albanian- Muslims live well with Christians? Go to Egypt and say that. You're a fool and to be ignored. There is no radical islam in the Balkans? That comment in itself should ban you for commenting on any issue relevant to the Balkans. Albanians dont live well with anyone as far as I can see. I mean, come on, are you proud to be Albanian? And if so, why for Gods sake. Your organ harvesting, drug dealing, human trafficking days are over. Your type is a disgrace to humanity. Your greatest contribution to modern society is Enver Xoxha for cryin out loud. Hang your head in shame for what you are.

The so called Diplomats of the European Union claim that they are worried, because they think that the Serbian Government is delaying matters as regards Serbia joining the European Union.

The EU by means of its Proxy Lithuania, is delaying matters, because Lithuania which is the last Puppet Obstacle promised to Implement the SAA Agreement with Serbia 3 months ago.

America by means of its Proxy the EU have not as yet scrapped the Kumanovo Agreement, and the Kosovo Albanians should demand that the Kumanovo Agreement is scrapped, because otherwise they are Declaring that they are Puppets, and because the Kumanovo Agreement must be scrapped before Serbia and its Province of Kosovo can join the European Union.

The Kosovo Albanians need Proper Leadership, and they need their suspected Criminals to retire, because the Albanians know that there is only a little time left to get on the EU Titanic before it goes down, and this means Full Cooperation with Belgrade.

As always, Actions Speak louder Than words, and so the Kosovo Albanians and the EU have many Reform to make, because they have neglected these Necessary Things.

U get Kosovo
Rise in PDV
Increase in food + gas prices
+ many new enemies to make the already hard living conditions, harder.

all you "AMEN, prayers have been answered.." people that chose these idiots, what do u have to say now?

Poor deki, we do have other options, like taking out loans until we end up bankrupt and on the streets like Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland. That's where Tadic was leading us. Or are you waiting for EU membership so all citizens instantly become millionaires? LOL!

Sorry, it was the previous government that made a complete mess and this one has to clean it up. Good for them for making hard but correct choices.

Kosova and Albania and Montenegro, potential loyal EU states making no problem for EU.

No problem for the EU? Haaa! Albanians are Europes nr one supplier of drugs and prisons all over europe are full of criminal and terrorist albanians. Albanians have been charged with terrorism agains american interests in both Europe and America and you say serbs cause problems. Albanians represent a diessease.

Serbia not interests for EU, only make problem.
Kosova and Albania and Montenegro, potential loyal EU states making no problem for EU.
Problem on Balkan - always only one.

cry me a river

Yes, albanians just love Albania and eachother. Spoke to several ablanians at my precious work who said that they would never ever again go to Albania on vaccation. Dirty and uncivilized people. And K-albs putting down Albanian albs. Thinking they are so much better then their brethren in the south. And an macedonian alb at my local pizzeria saying he is Macedonian and not albanain, not to scare off the customers. Yeah, you are really proud and get along. Especially with your blood fueds. Yeah, you just love eachother. I'm jelous!

there there now Jeff. take it easy on us. for what is worth, Hoxha, though a madman indeed, did not inflict suffering on his neighboring countries, unlike a certain Sloba, who not content with the horrible and evil things he caused his own people, decided to spread some of his 'goodwill' to Croats, Bosnians and K. Albanians too. i don't know ANY Albanian who defends Hoxha, I know Serb contributors here who speak in positive terms of Sloba. so yes, we take no pride in Enver, unlike some of you who revel in having had such a glorious leader like Slobodan Milosevic :-) i should also add, now that you've revealed your contempt for us, we do not have the unenviable record of having the biggest number of war criminals since Nazi Germany to look back on. nor do we have the noose of having committed the biggest massacre on European soil since world war 2 round neck, unlike say, our heavenly neighbors in the north :-)

as for the rest of your Islamic points, no doubt that Islamism is a threat. what i will say however, is that the Kosovar issue is NOT religious. if it was, you would not have Catholic Albanians supporting independence too. nor what you have the majority of Muslim states, or states with Muslim majorities support Serbia and not recognize Kosova

EU should bring back the visa regime for Serbia and all the money that now goes to Serbia should be redistributed to other Balkan countries.

To ecoman:

Not being Serbs wins plenty of respect for Albanians.

deki, 2 October 2012 12:28)
one problem they did not get Kosovo, not even close and no chance in the future. I agree with the rest and they just increased their suffering for nothing.
The most this is going to gain the Serbs is they will still be able to say that Kosovo is theirs, the people who believe it now may continue to do so, but most of the sphere of countries around Kosovo will continue to disagree. It also insures that UNSC will remain in force and the UN will be obligated to support EULEX and KFOR prohibiting Serbia from interfering with the govt and territory of Kosovo. It will also increase hardships on Serbs living in Kosovo because their future still is an unknown.
I also see where your new person for Kosovo says that the Kosovo bonus should be increased to cover all Serbs living in Kosovo, a fantastic idea, of course those funds will be funneled through his office. Not to hint that anything would happen to them because correption does not happen in Serbia.

there there now Jeff. take it easy on us. Nikolle, can you ever post without being condescending or sarcastic? What is this trait with you? I have noticed it in many Albanian posters here. In any case, Jeff's remark is on target. What do Albanians have to be proud of during their existence on the Balkans? Can you tell me what great achievements they have made in science, literature, social improvement, sports, medicine, anything? I think you had one good boxer, I think. What is this respect that you all of a sudden demand from neighboring nations? You land theft in KiM only proves that you are simply a people that only takes from others, and contributes zero to the world. Albanians have always attached themselves to other powers to reek benefits, that is how most of you became muslims by the way. It was the Ottomans, then the German and Italian Nazis, and finally leeching onto the US and NATO. When have Albanians ever stood on their own feet? Respect, Nikolle, must be earned, and Albanians have earned nothing. Zero. You can point to Milosevic all you want, but you have an accused organ-harvestor leading your pathetic crime infested Kosova. Is that to be proud of. Just Google the Snake, and you will get more hits than you can possibly read on his criminal activities. So please, do not point your finger at others, when your own is as dirty as hell.

This is a usual thing before negitiations for sides to rigit their stance.
Serbia will start saying this things and Kosova will do the same.Look a Thaci's statement.
The same happened with the previous gonverment of DS.
But when the negotiations will start their stance will change and it is going to be a compromise for a economic authonomy for North in exchange of UN seat for Kosovo without officially recognise it.
Eevrybaody is happy coz Kosovo will preserve its territory and Serbia will have influence in the North without recognision of Kosovo.
When the time comes after 3-4 years,Serbia will sign the agreement with Kosovo about being good neighbors.
Nikolic and his supporters will be happy coz they will not have to officially recognised Kosovo,eveth though in that time Kosovo will be recognised by all EU members and probably by all UN members - Serbia.

President has EU diplomats "worried"...only media in Serbia would report this. No daily in Western report if some "diplomats" are worried, nobody is interested in their feelings...within the EU the contacts are conducted directely between the important people, diplomats are playing a more and more less role. But on the other side it is a good signal if these "diplomats" are worried. The EU-diplomats in Belgrade are not advocates of Serbian interests, they are advocating the interests of their countries: to get much as possible from Serbias wealth for zero and influence in the governing bodies in Serbia. So it is a signal if they are worried that the Serbian president is coming up with the right steps to see first the Serbian interests. But dailies like danas are not defending Serbia interests and would like to satisfy only foreign interests. The new German ambassador in Belgrade is so fresh in Belgrade that he can only know some very easy basics. An intelligent ambassador would not come up with great statements so fast. But his name is Wilhelm and possibly is parents were great fans of the terribe emeror Wilhelm II who mad the worst comments.

Eloquently stated, Nikolle.
Albanians get along with each other just perfectly, regardless of their religious views, or lack there of.
On the other hand, Orthodox Serbs don't get along with Muslim Serbs.
I guess it must be a Serbian thing.

MikeC and ecoman,
One of good achievement Albanians have is that showed the whole words the true face of Serbia.

(cry me a river, 2 October 2012 19:11)

You are right--it is a Serbian thing.
The reason you Albanians get along so well is thanks to Tsar Dushan's Code which the Serbian Empire enacted in 1349
when it held all of Albania. "Noel Malcolm speculates that an article in Dušan's Code was an early attempt to clamp down on the self-administered customary law of the mountains, as later codified in the Kanun of Lek Dukagjin, and if so, this would be the earliest evidence that such customary law were in effect."

He is saying EU is not a must have option! Serbia will take care of it's own people the way they want to, not how the west wants to. Good for him!

Screw the EU,it's a sinking ship.

Serbia will follow the idea:" Serbia has no alternative". This is the right path for Serbia. All that is in the interest of the Serbian will be accept, but what is not in the interest of Serbia won't.

"Exactly, that's the essence of all of this discussion.... A failed state like Serbia would do a big favor to the EU by not joining it as the EU has enough troubles on its own.
(icj1, 3 October 2012 05:07)"

Why is Serbia a "failed state"? What is the criteria for a "failed state"?

"P.S Let me know when you get a sea."

j

Easy cowboy! Did I strike a nerve? Yeah, Serbia doesn't have direct access to the see. Niether do k-albs, neither do the swiss, austrians, chechs, hungarians etc. But thank God there are planes that have enabled people to get access to the sea in just a couple of hours. The worst part in all of this is that Albania has beutiful shores but they are so filthy that its a hazard to swim there. Access to the sea and still poor and undeveloped. Good job!

He he ... It's very interesting! It's good that they are concerned! Serbia was concerned enough...

ecoman, what on earth is this hatred of Albanians for? I can turn that around really easy, we have NEVER caused a war, that is one thing we have to be proud of. lets exams your record now, at war with Croats, at war with Bosnians and finally at war with Albanians. let me tell you something about me, I take ZERO pride in being Albanian because I'm not a jingoist. just as the founder of the state of Egypt happens to be Albanian or for that matter Ferid Murati (a noble prize winner in Medicine) is Albanian, however, neither of those achievements are mine, so for me, there is no point in taking credit for other peoples work. we may share the same nationality, but thats down to chance and coincidence. I like to take pride in my own PERSONAL accomplishments, not OTHER peoples. if you think you should be proud of purely and simply being Serbian, then i will suggest that there is something wrong with you

Yea because in no other country in the world such concepts exist. You know terms such redneck, yanks, white trash don't exist in the US for example. Cmon dude this crap is the same in Serbia. Belgrade ppl feel like they're the $hit while others are village idiots. Northen Italians say the same crap about southern italians. It is called being human. Human flaws are present in all societies. Find something new to talk about next time.

P.S Let me know when you get a sea. Dirty or not we still get to swim. Go learn to swim in your bathtubs.

Ecoman
Ecoman the great achievement of Albanians is that they keep their identity in the middle of dominant and outnumbered cultures and populations like Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Slav occupation of Balkan and Ottoman Empire. Only the Diaspora of Italy of last 20 year has 25 five Albanian writers appreciated by Italian public. So please don’t use your ignorance on one the topic as argument. In the list below are some prominent Albanian to understand that this small nation has born a lot of mans and women to be proud of.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_Albanian_people

I don't quite think "worried" is the appropriate word. Maybe concerned because they probably need to create new strategies, possibly funneling funds set aside for Serbia to other countries. Maybe focusing on an accelerated admission process for other balkin countries, or finally pressuring the 5 to recognize and bring Kosovo inside if not as a fully functioning member possibly an unprecedented EU protectorate status.
Quite possible after the economic news of late the feeling is more a sigh or relief and not worry.

No need, everyone does fine (especially the Kosovo Albanian mafia groups) with the current statrus of Kosovo being an UN protectorate.

(lowe, 3 October 2012 12:35)
Lets see, maybe because wages are the lowest in Europe, one of your biggest holidays is celebrating a battle You LOST, You wear a banner proudly 1244, which is a UN resolution that not only strips you of all political, economic, military control over your former province, it established security forces whose primary purpose is to keep you out.
Your politicians have no clue how to fix the problems in Serbia so they ring the Kosovo nationalist bell and you all sit at a barren table talking about how lucky you are. Your former leaders are all either have been or currently are in the Hague, and you turn around a elect their biggest supporters. You have given every asset you have to another country---anymore?

The worst part in all of this is that Albania has beutiful shores but they are so filthy that its a hazard to swim there. Access to the sea and still poor and undeveloped. Good job!
(MikeC, 3 October 2012 18:33)

Yea seeing that you never set foot on the country I guess that makes you an authority and an expert. There's some polluted beaches out there. You just gotta now where to go dude. Head south and the riviera and you're set. If you stay in Durres than of course the beach is not as good as down south, but then the Bronx beaches are not comparable to those of Florida.

Reply to poster (need more?, 3 October 2012 15:44)

I’m talking about objective and widely accepted criteria for a failed state, not your questionable ones. If Serbia’s wages are a criterion, where does that put “Kosova”??? And choice of public holidays is a criterion of a failed state??????? Serbia has given away EVERY asset and so has none left – please provide proof of this to substantiate your claim -- and this is therefore a widely accepted criterion for an objectively failed state????etc ALL of Serbia's former leaders are or had been in the Hague????? I didn't know that the likes of Tadic and Kostunica were there??? etc etc -- objectively I would submit to you that the only thing failed here is your logic!

And no thank you, I certainly don't "need more" of your absurdities.

By the way, I’m not Serb, not Serbian citizen. Actually I’m not even in the Balkans.

And icj1 has decided to lay low on this one up to now as I read the posts.

A failed state like Serbia would do a big favor to the EU by not joining it as the EU has enough troubles on its own.

No problem for the EU? Haaa! Albanians are Europes nr one supplier of drugs and prisons all over europe are full of criminal and terrorist albanians. Albanians have been charged with terrorism agains american interests in both Europe and America and you say serbs cause problems. Albanians represent a diessease.

This is a usual thing before negitiations for sides to rigit their stance.
Serbia will start saying this things and Kosova will do the same.Look a Thaci's statement.
The same happened with the previous gonverment of DS.
But when the negotiations will start their stance will change and it is going to be a compromise for a economic authonomy for North in exchange of UN seat for Kosovo without officially recognise it.
Eevrybaody is happy coz Kosovo will preserve its territory and Serbia will have influence in the North without recognision of Kosovo.
When the time comes after 3-4 years,Serbia will sign the agreement with Kosovo about being good neighbors.
Nikolic and his supporters will be happy coz they will not have to officially recognised Kosovo,eveth though in that time Kosovo will be recognised by all EU members and probably by all UN members - Serbia.

Yes, albanians just love Albania and eachother. Spoke to several ablanians at my precious work who said that they would never ever again go to Albania on vaccation. Dirty and uncivilized people. And K-albs putting down Albanian albs. Thinking they are so much better then their brethren in the south. And an macedonian alb at my local pizzeria saying he is Macedonian and not albanain, not to scare off the customers. Yeah, you are really proud and get along. Especially with your blood fueds. Yeah, you just love eachother. I'm jelous!

The so called Diplomats of the European Union claim that they are worried, because they think that the Serbian Government is delaying matters as regards Serbia joining the European Union.

The EU by means of its Proxy Lithuania, is delaying matters, because Lithuania which is the last Puppet Obstacle promised to Implement the SAA Agreement with Serbia 3 months ago.

America by means of its Proxy the EU have not as yet scrapped the Kumanovo Agreement, and the Kosovo Albanians should demand that the Kumanovo Agreement is scrapped, because otherwise they are Declaring that they are Puppets, and because the Kumanovo Agreement must be scrapped before Serbia and its Province of Kosovo can join the European Union.

The Kosovo Albanians need Proper Leadership, and they need their suspected Criminals to retire, because the Albanians know that there is only a little time left to get on the EU Titanic before it goes down, and this means Full Cooperation with Belgrade.

As always, Actions Speak louder Than words, and so the Kosovo Albanians and the EU have many Reform to make, because they have neglected these Necessary Things.

Serbia will follow the idea:" Serbia has no alternative". This is the right path for Serbia. All that is in the interest of the Serbian will be accept, but what is not in the interest of Serbia won't.

He he ... It's very interesting! It's good that they are concerned! Serbia was concerned enough...

MikeC and ecoman,
One of good achievement Albanians have is that showed the whole words the true face of Serbia.

He is saying EU is not a must have option! Serbia will take care of it's own people the way they want to, not how the west wants to. Good for him!

ecoman, what on earth is this hatred of Albanians for? I can turn that around really easy, we have NEVER caused a war, that is one thing we have to be proud of. lets exams your record now, at war with Croats, at war with Bosnians and finally at war with Albanians. let me tell you something about me, I take ZERO pride in being Albanian because I'm not a jingoist. just as the founder of the state of Egypt happens to be Albanian or for that matter Ferid Murati (a noble prize winner in Medicine) is Albanian, however, neither of those achievements are mine, so for me, there is no point in taking credit for other peoples work. we may share the same nationality, but thats down to chance and coincidence. I like to take pride in my own PERSONAL accomplishments, not OTHER peoples. if you think you should be proud of purely and simply being Serbian, then i will suggest that there is something wrong with you

Yea because in no other country in the world such concepts exist. You know terms such redneck, yanks, white trash don't exist in the US for example. Cmon dude this crap is the same in Serbia. Belgrade ppl feel like they're the $hit while others are village idiots. Northen Italians say the same crap about southern italians. It is called being human. Human flaws are present in all societies. Find something new to talk about next time.

P.S Let me know when you get a sea. Dirty or not we still get to swim. Go learn to swim in your bathtubs.

well, to borrow that Yankee ex-president Clinton's phrase -- "its the economy, stupid!" (or words to that effect). I dunno whether those ostriches in Brussels are determined to keep their heads stuck inside the sand until they suffocate or what, but it should be plain to anyone with an ounce of brains that the EU economies today ain't exactly what they were back in 1999.

Exactly, that's the essence of all of this discussion.... A failed state like Serbia would do a big favor to the EU by not joining it as the EU has enough troubles on its own.

Ecoman
Ecoman the great achievement of Albanians is that they keep their identity in the middle of dominant and outnumbered cultures and populations like Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Slav occupation of Balkan and Ottoman Empire. Only the Diaspora of Italy of last 20 year has 25 five Albanian writers appreciated by Italian public. So please don’t use your ignorance on one the topic as argument. In the list below are some prominent Albanian to understand that this small nation has born a lot of mans and women to be proud of.

"Maybe focusing on an accelerated admission process for other balkin countries, or finally pressuring the 5 to recognize and bring Kosovo inside if not as a fully functioning member possibly an unprecedented EU protectorate status. "

No need, everyone does fine (especially the Kosovo Albanian mafia groups) with the current statrus of Kosovo being an UN protectorate.

Eloquently stated, Nikolle.
Albanians get along with each other just perfectly, regardless of their religious views, or lack there of.
On the other hand, Orthodox Serbs don't get along with Muslim Serbs.
I guess it must be a Serbian thing.

You are right--it is a Serbian thing.
The reason you Albanians get along so well is thanks to Tsar Dushan's Code which the Serbian Empire enacted in 1349
when it held all of Albania. "Noel Malcolm speculates that an article in Dušan's Code was an early attempt to clamp down on the self-administered customary law of the mountains, as later codified in the Kanun of Lek Dukagjin, and if so, this would be the earliest evidence that such customary law were in effect."

Screw the EU,it's a sinking ship.

Why is Serbia a "failed state"? What is the criteria for a "failed state"?

Lets see, maybe because wages are the lowest in Europe, one of your biggest holidays is celebrating a battle You LOST, You wear a banner proudly 1244, which is a UN resolution that not only strips you of all political, economic, military control over your former province, it established security forces whose primary purpose is to keep you out.
Your politicians have no clue how to fix the problems in Serbia so they ring the Kosovo nationalist bell and you all sit at a barren table talking about how lucky you are. Your former leaders are all either have been or currently are in the Hague, and you turn around a elect their biggest supporters. You have given every asset you have to another country---anymore?

"P.S Let me know when you get a sea."

j

Easy cowboy! Did I strike a nerve? Yeah, Serbia doesn't have direct access to the see. Niether do k-albs, neither do the swiss, austrians, chechs, hungarians etc. But thank God there are planes that have enabled people to get access to the sea in just a couple of hours. The worst part in all of this is that Albania has beutiful shores but they are so filthy that its a hazard to swim there. Access to the sea and still poor and undeveloped. Good job!

Careful there boy! You are pushing up against your 25w limit and you risk blowing out. Are you screw cap or bayonet?

I don't quite think "worried" is the appropriate word. Maybe concerned because they probably need to create new strategies, possibly funneling funds set aside for Serbia to other countries. Maybe focusing on an accelerated admission process for other balkin countries, or finally pressuring the 5 to recognize and bring Kosovo inside if not as a fully functioning member possibly an unprecedented EU protectorate status.
Quite possible after the economic news of late the feeling is more a sigh or relief and not worry.

Yea seeing that you never set foot on the country I guess that makes you an authority and an expert. There's some polluted beaches out there. You just gotta now where to go dude. Head south and the riviera and you're set. If you stay in Durres than of course the beach is not as good as down south, but then the Bronx beaches are not comparable to those of Florida.

Reply to poster (need more?, 3 October 2012 15:44)

I’m talking about objective and widely accepted criteria for a failed state, not your questionable ones. If Serbia’s wages are a criterion, where does that put “Kosova”??? And choice of public holidays is a criterion of a failed state??????? Serbia has given away EVERY asset and so has none left – please provide proof of this to substantiate your claim -- and this is therefore a widely accepted criterion for an objectively failed state????etc ALL of Serbia's former leaders are or had been in the Hague????? I didn't know that the likes of Tadic and Kostunica were there??? etc etc -- objectively I would submit to you that the only thing failed here is your logic!

And no thank you, I certainly don't "need more" of your absurdities.

By the way, I’m not Serb, not Serbian citizen. Actually I’m not even in the Balkans.

And icj1 has decided to lay low on this one up to now as I read the posts.
