"...around 1/3 of Albanians are Orthodox"

...so? do you know the difference between religion and ethnicity/nationality? there are also a lot of Catholic Albanians, (my family is such), does that now make us Italians? this is the problem with a lot of our neighbors, they think you can't be a Christian and an Albanian. well sunshine, over 90% of Albanians, when it comes to choosing between the Crescent/Cross and the double headed eagle on a red background, go for the double headed eagle every time of the day. we don't let theism get between us [unlike Serbs who think of Serbian muslims (or Bosnians)] as Turks

Well as a true American, Would most "like" Serbs or Albanians I don't think there is a contest. People who were against military involvement in Kosovo, the majority felt it was morally appropriate but that it was a European issue.

Right, this here would be a logical ICTY ruling: "We are aware that 1000s of people were killed in Srebrenica by (Bosnian-)Serbian troops, but we couldn't find a proof that their commander Mladic and the political leader Karadzic knew anything about it."

Makes sense, doesn't it? The acquittal of Haradinaj and Gotovina had the same quality.
(Comm. Parrisson, 29 November 2012 19:35)

Of course, in the case of Mladic and Karadzic, if the judges of trial chamber elected there by Russia, China & Co. determine that the evidence presented in THEIR trial does not establish beyond reasonable doubt their responsability for the alleged crimes, it's going to acquit them like it did with Serbia's President, Gotovina, and Haradinaj.

@Haitia
Yes as you saying we liberated Albania 1912.
Again Europe then gave state to you like they done it now.
You couldn`t fight then, like you couldn`t fight in 1999, because you had no KNOWLEDGE and WEAPONS to fight. So you`re celebrating a day when Serbian soldier came there and pushed Turkish empire back to Asia.
Don`t talk too much about natural Albania, because around 1/3 of Albanians are Ortodox, and allot of them are under force assimilated Serbians.
Again we have situation on Kosmet(not Kosovo), that first aim of your "government" is criminal in Europe and GB.
What are your producing there?
So yo`re trying to get some knowledge about industry from west countries, but mi niinoooo! (my little boy) there is nothing instant.
You need to pass allot of time, at least three of your generation or more than 100 years for you to have some scope what is country and industry.
And during that period you can ask us because we know how to manage with state and what is state,but be sure that political situation will be different in next 100 years.
Who mentioned safety, I was talking about territory, normally you can`t pass with bike when you`re killing Serbs there.
Also you can continue with demolition of non protected Serbian historical monuments on Kosmet, but you need also 100 year to do it, because on every hill on Kosmet there was old Serbian church, monastery, or house.

what total nonsense Comm. Serbia has tried to label the KLA a terrorist organization since 1999 and it has failed and failed big time. The persecution failed to provide ample evidence for the things mr. Haradinaj was accused of. Unlike say Mladic or Karadzic, Haradinaj did not spend his time hiding, becoming some sort of new age healer, he handed himself in. Now, you point me to a KLA crime that measures up to Srberenica, the siege of Sarajevo, the bombing of Vukovar, the mass expulsion of 1 mill. people...yo can't. do you know why you can't? because they don't exist. The organ allegation? yes, the EU has challenged Mr Marty to submit his evidence and has point blank refused. in short, whatever you opinion on Kosova (and I know you're opinion) the allegations against the KLA have NEVER been proven, not even once. conspiracy theories, yes we have plenty. oh and i know you like stuff write mafia led Kosova, however, EULEX rules over here (they can veto any decision the K. Parliament makes), so you know, it seems the EU that you're a fan of is in cahoots with these mobsters

(Skadar is Serbian, 30 November 2012 09:45)

No we were celebrating the establishment of an Albanian state.

Don't think you "liberated" Albania, had Greece and Serbia had their own way; they'd have dived Albania between the two of them. The Great Powers at the time forced Greece and Serbia into accepting an Albanian state, however you managed to worm you way around it by keeping 40% of Natural Albania for yourselves.

And in 1912, us Albanians in Kosova weren't liberated either. We just exchanged one colonial rulers the Ottomans, for another colonial ruler, the Serbs. You say "liberated" Kosova, whereas we say conquered as the vast majority of Kosova wasn't happy about the arrival of the Serb Occupation in 1912. Even Serbia's own sources say that a maximum of 25% of Kosova was Serb/ Orthodox. But thankfully in 1999 and 2008 we were able to remedy the injustices of 1912.

Yes ride your bike through Kosova, you'll be safe. But if I were to ride my bike in that Wild West aka Northern Kosova I would very much fear for my life.

Did you read the ruling at all? It only proves one thing:

The alleged crimes (torture and murders of prisoners in a KLA camp that happened, as confirmed by the ICTY) couldn't be connected to the 'gentlemen'.

And in case you don't know: This retrial was needed because the witnesses who wanted to testify against these 'gentlemen' were intimidated, 'silenced' or they 'disappeared', if you know what these words mean in mafia circles. Well, mafia methods still work nowadays, that's another thing that was proven.

American Hawk, I'm assuming you're of Serbian extraction. Let's see, most Americans don't know what Kosova is, never mind know where it is. I'm more than certain, most yanks wouldn't be able to point Kosova out on a map. It doesn't matter to me however, your country, however it may well annoy you, recognises mine and that goes a pretty long way. You're right, we're not really independent, we're both a US colony and EU protectorate. However, we prefer this form of dependence, to the one we had 20 odd years ago. So thanks for being hawkish, without it, it paid off well for us

"The problem is that Serbia does not have Golda Meir. She knew how to deal with guys like Haradinaj."

The problem is that Kosovo is not Palestine and Serbia is not Israel. Most importantly Haradinaj didnt go to Munich to kill any serbian but he protected his home and his homeland. Therefore such a style of Golda Meir would be hardly applicable in this case even if you like to mention it as a sign of superiority. Man you think Serbia can whatever it likes with people around. There are plenty of secret services here who can likewise apply the same styles against Serbians. We are in Balkans not in middle east. DON'T FORGET THAT.

This marks the beginning of a new mission in the Balkans. That is to take Carla, Dick, and their associates to court for defamation and for their active participation in attempting to tarnish the image of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Sue their a**es, seize their assets, until they tell who bribed them for their false accusations.

They should not get a free ride.

Remove Carla's fictional book from bookshelves, and donate all the proceeds from the sale of the book to thousands of families whose heads of household have been killed by Serbian military in Kosovo. Donate the proceeds to rebuild thousands of homes burnt by Serbian army in Kosovo.

I also believed he is innocent. I am happy they released him. Now as wee see that this is all about spitting on serbs i will welcome the release of Ratko mladic, Karadic, seselj and the rest of them. This would be a great step for the balkan countries to start a new era. Serbia should not get in to Kosovo question to much as they know that good relations is not possible since albanians on kosovo could not handle that. But instead of saying who is right or wrong why cant they just start fresh? or is it really only the sh**** on serbs that they enjoy, forgot about the peace?

For the crimes of the nature Ramush Haradinaj was charged for Hague would not even prosecute them. This type of crimes Hague has delegated to local judiciary. Trials for this kind of crimes are everyday work in Serbia.

Once again the albanian internet warrior trolls are out in force to 'bravely' defend your terrorist 'hero' and OF COURSE to rate down all comments disagreeing with his release. The nature of your people is obvious, cowardice, on the battlefield the KLA was close to complete destruction, but then NATO saved your arses and is now using you for their own benefits, though of course you do not realise that they dont really like you and are using you. I feel much sympathy not just for the Serbian families of those he murdered but also the albanian ones who lost relatives to his terror, because Haradinaj also slaughtered many of his own who didn't agree with his terrorism.

Absolutely, the myth that this NATO "court" serves justice. Those Serbs should have woken up by now, which I might add are in the minority as most Serbs have known for a long time that this is a political kangaroo court. This verdict is not shocking to most of us but rather highly predictable.

So there should be no doubt in the minds of most about the political nature of this so-called court, EULEX and NATO on the ground. They can't even solve simple murder cases against Serbs in times of "peace" (i.e. occupation). Why would they solve any in times of war against their opponents?

I have no problem with the verdict if others are convicted for what happened on the ground, but it seems that they can't / won't bother doing a proper job of bringing non Serbs to justice.The only silver lining for Serbia is that it can hold its head up and say its the only former SFRJ country that's properly faced justice, unlike the others failing to investigate, intimating witnesses or getting off on technicalities.

Your comment has nothing to do with my previous comment or even with the article about Ramush. Dont let your anger take over your rational thinking and stick to the topic. Fact is, that the UCK was not a joint criminal enterprise but rather a fight for freedom. Crimes did occur but generals like Haradinaj cant be held responisble. Carla Del Ponte is a disgrace to the interational justice and her biased and slanderous prosecutions amounted to plain witch-hunt, that was smashed and squashed today. No Court can rewrite the History! No court can build an artificial balance between the victims and the aggressor!

This marks the beginning of a new mission in the Balkans. That is to take Carla, Dick, and their associates to court for defamation and for their active participation in attempting to tarnish the image of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Sue their a**es, seize their assets, until they tell who bribed them for their false accusations.

They should not get a free ride.

Remove Carla's fictional book from bookshelves, and donate all the proceeds from the sale of the book to thousands of families whose heads of household have been killed by Serbian military in Kosovo. Donate the proceeds to rebuild thousands of homes burnt by Serbian army in Kosovo.

In the last few months, Serbia has received some serious blows to her perception of reality. First, EU basically tells it that it has to recognize Kosovo (that’s what it boils down to), then Hague declares Croatian Generals not guilty, and now this. This may be too much of a shock to some Serbs, but perhaps it is what was needed in order to wake them out of a deep coma with all their myths.

Good news is, the worst is over for Serbia. There are no more blows to be taken! Now, please focus on yourself and improving living condition of your people.

Once again the albanian internet warrior trolls are out in force to 'bravely' defend your terrorist 'hero' and OF COURSE to rate down all comments disagreeing with his release. The nature of your people is obvious, cowardice, on the battlefield the KLA was close to complete destruction, but then NATO saved your arses and is now using you for their own benefits, though of course you do not realise that they dont really like you and are using you. I feel much sympathy not just for the Serbian families of those he murdered but also the albanian ones who lost relatives to his terror, because Haradinaj also slaughtered many of his own who didn't agree with his terrorism. Enjoy the party while it lasts, the last laugh shall not be yours.

Absolutely, the myth that this NATO "court" serves justice. Those Serbs should have woken up by now, which I might add are in the minority as most Serbs have known for a long time that this is a political kangaroo court. This verdict is not shocking to most of us but rather highly predictable.

So there should be no doubt in the minds of most about the political nature of this so-called court, EULEX and NATO on the ground. They can't even solve simple murder cases against Serbs in times of "peace" (i.e. occupation). Why would they solve any in times of war against their opponents?

Your comment has nothing to do with my previous comment or even with the article about Ramush. Dont let your anger take over your rational thinking and stick to the topic. Fact is, that the UCK was not a joint criminal enterprise but rather a fight for freedom. Crimes did occur but generals like Haradinaj cant be held responisble. Carla Del Ponte is a disgrace to the interational justice and her biased and slanderous prosecutions amounted to plain witch-hunt, that was smashed and squashed today. No Court can rewrite the History! No court can build an artificial balance between the victims and the aggressor!

I have no problem with the verdict if others are convicted for what happened on the ground, but it seems that they can't / won't bother doing a proper job of bringing non Serbs to justice.The only silver lining for Serbia is that it can hold its head up and say its the only former SFRJ country that's properly faced justice, unlike the others failing to investigate, intimating witnesses or getting off on technicalities.

For the crimes of the nature Ramush Haradinaj was charged for Hague would not even prosecute them. This type of crimes Hague has delegated to local judiciary. Trials for this kind of crimes are everyday work in Serbia.

The problem is that Kosovo is not Palestine and Serbia is not Israel. Most importantly Haradinaj didnt go to Munich to kill any serbian but he protected his home and his homeland. Therefore such a style of Golda Meir would be hardly applicable in this case even if you like to mention it as a sign of superiority. Man you think Serbia can whatever it likes with people around. There are plenty of secret services here who can likewise apply the same styles against Serbians. We are in Balkans not in middle east. DON'T FORGET THAT.

what total nonsense Comm. Serbia has tried to label the KLA a terrorist organization since 1999 and it has failed and failed big time. The persecution failed to provide ample evidence for the things mr. Haradinaj was accused of. Unlike say Mladic or Karadzic, Haradinaj did not spend his time hiding, becoming some sort of new age healer, he handed himself in. Now, you point me to a KLA crime that measures up to Srberenica, the siege of Sarajevo, the bombing of Vukovar, the mass expulsion of 1 mill. people...yo can't. do you know why you can't? because they don't exist. The organ allegation? yes, the EU has challenged Mr Marty to submit his evidence and has point blank refused. in short, whatever you opinion on Kosova (and I know you're opinion) the allegations against the KLA have NEVER been proven, not even once. conspiracy theories, yes we have plenty. oh and i know you like stuff write mafia led Kosova, however, EULEX rules over here (they can veto any decision the K.

No we were celebrating the establishment of an Albanian state.

Don't think you "liberated" Albania, had Greece and Serbia had their own way; they'd have dived Albania between the two of them. The Great Powers at the time forced Greece and Serbia into accepting an Albanian state, however you managed to worm you way around it by keeping 40% of Natural Albania for yourselves.

And in 1912, us Albanians in Kosova weren't liberated either. We just exchanged one colonial rulers the Ottomans, for another colonial ruler, the Serbs. You say "liberated" Kosova, whereas we say conquered as the vast majority of Kosova wasn't happy about the arrival of the Serb Occupation in 1912. Even Serbia's own sources say that a maximum of 25% of Kosova was Serb/ Orthodox. But thankfully in 1999 and 2008 we were able to remedy the injustices of 1912.

Yes ride your bike through Kosova, you'll be safe. But if I were to ride my bike in that Wild West aka Northern Kosova I would very much fear for my life.

Yes as you saying we liberated Albania 1912.
Again Europe then gave state to you like they done it now.
You couldn`t fight then, like you couldn`t fight in 1999, because you had no KNOWLEDGE and WEAPONS to fight. So you`re celebrating a day when Serbian soldier came there and pushed Turkish empire back to Asia.
Don`t talk too much about natural Albania, because around 1/3 of Albanians are Ortodox, and allot of them are under force assimilated Serbians.
Again we have situation on Kosmet(not Kosovo), that first aim of your "government" is criminal in Europe and GB.
What are your producing there?
So yo`re trying to get some knowledge about industry from west countries, but mi niinoooo! (my little boy) there is nothing instant.
You need to pass allot of time, at least three of your generation or more than 100 years for you to have some scope what is country and industry.
And during that period you can ask us because we know how to manage with state and what is state,but be sure that political situation will be different in next 100 years.
Who mentioned safety, I was talking about territory, normally you can`t pass with bike when you`re killing Serbs there.
Also you can continue with demolition of non protected Serbian historical monuments on Kosmet, but you need also 100 year to do it, because on every hill on Kosmet there was old Serbian church, monastery, or house.

Why is this a great thing? Because the quickest way to Kosovo i Metohija's liberation is by Albanians being truly insane enough to believe they can scrounge off more territories of Serbia but also Macedonia, Montenegro and Greece.

Welcome back, and I do hope you stick to ze plan! (Ari Gold, 29 November 2012 11:10)

Your comment has nothing to do with my previous comment or even with the article about Ramush. Dont let your anger take over your rational thinking and stick to the topic. Fact is, that the UCK was not a joint criminal enterprise but rather a fight for freedom. Crimes did occur but generals like Haradinaj cant be held responisble. Carla Del Ponte is a disgrace to the interational justice and her biased and slanderous prosecutions amounted to plain witch-hunt, that was smashed and squashed today. No Court can rewrite the History! No court can build an artificial balance between the victims and the aggressor!
Funny how Rambo was acquitted at 9.30 and Mladics cases continued at 11.00...
Prishtina Airport "Adem Jashari" is preparing for Ramushs return soon...

No thanks, we would rather let you keep your 'reality' and well in turn keep our 'myths'. Again, the undeniable point remains...Serbia would not be receiving all this pressure from officials (and not all this trolling from Albanians on b92) if Kosovo i Metohija was not its to give up.

You Albanians realize that better than anybody. That is why you are here after all. I hope God allows Serbs to realize what the Albanians know better than anybody else.

For the crimes of the nature Ramush Haradinaj was charged for Hague would not even prosecute them. This type of crimes Hague has delegated to local judiciary. Trials for this kind of crimes are everyday work in Serbia.

Hague beahved politically when got involved in this tiral at the first place. It did that to please you Serbs. But that's how far it can stratch it.

Sorry but you will have to face the truth: the defenders of their homes of their motherland will NVERE be sentenced in ANY court at any TIME. Forget about that.

Absolutely, the myth that this NATO "court" serves justice. Those Serbs should have woken up by now, which I might add are in the minority as most Serbs have known for a long time that this is a political kangaroo court. This verdict is not shocking to most of us but rather highly predictable.

So there should be no doubt in the minds of most about the political nature of this so-called court, EULEX and NATO on the ground. They can't even solve simple murder cases against Serbs in times of "peace" (i.e. occupation). Why would they solve any in times of war against their opponents?

In the last few months, Serbia has received some serious blows to her perception of reality. First, EU basically tells it that it has to recognize Kosovo (that’s what it boils down to), then Hague declares Croatian Generals not guilty, and now this. This may be too much of a shock to some Serbs, but perhaps it is what was needed in order to wake them out of a deep coma with all their myths.

I have no problem with the verdict if others are convicted for what happened on the ground, but it seems that they can't / won't bother doing a proper job of bringing non Serbs to justice.The only silver lining for Serbia is that it can hold its head up and say its the only former SFRJ country that's properly faced justice, unlike the others failing to investigate, intimating witnesses or getting off on technicalities.

I also believed he is innocent. I am happy they released him. Now as wee see that this is all about spitting on serbs i will welcome the release of Ratko mladic, Karadic, seselj and the rest of them. This would be a great step for the balkan countries to start a new era. Serbia should not get in to Kosovo question to much as they know that good relations is not possible since albanians on kosovo could not handle that. But instead of saying who is right or wrong why cant they just start fresh? or is it really only the sh**** on serbs that they enjoy, forgot about the peace? Now i cant wait to see what happens in 20 years when all live in peace and travel to eachothers countries and talking to eachother:) salute

This marks the beginning of a new mission in the Balkans. That is to take Carla, Dick, and their associates to court for defamation and for their active participation in attempting to tarnish the image of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Sue their a**es, seize their assets, until they tell who bribed them for their false accusations.

They should not get a free ride.

Remove Carla's fictional book from bookshelves, and donate all the proceeds from the sale of the book to thousands of families whose heads of household have been killed by Serbian military in Kosovo. Donate the proceeds to rebuild thousands of homes burnt by Serbian army in Kosovo.

"The problem is that Serbia does not have Golda Meir. She knew how to deal with guys like Haradinaj."

The problem is that Kosovo is not Palestine and Serbia is not Israel. Most importantly Haradinaj didnt go to Munich to kill any serbian but he protected his home and his homeland. Therefore such a style of Golda Meir would be hardly applicable in this case even if you like to mention it as a sign of superiority. Man you think Serbia can whatever it likes with people around. There are plenty of secret services here who can likewise apply the same styles against Serbians. We are in Balkans not in middle east. DON'T FORGET THAT.

Did you read the ruling at all? It only proves one thing:

The alleged crimes (torture and murders of prisoners in a KLA camp that happened, as confirmed by the ICTY) couldn't be connected to the 'gentlemen'.

And in case you don't know: This retrial was needed because the witnesses who wanted to testify against these 'gentlemen' were intimidated, 'silenced' or they 'disappeared', if you know what these words mean in mafia circles. Well, mafia methods still work nowadays, that's another thing that was proven.

@Haitia
Yes as you saying we liberated Albania 1912.
Again Europe then gave state to you like they done it now.
You couldn`t fight then, like you couldn`t fight in 1999, because you had no KNOWLEDGE and WEAPONS to fight. So you`re celebrating a day when Serbian soldier came there and pushed Turkish empire back to Asia.
Don`t talk too much about natural Albania, because around 1/3 of Albanians are Ortodox, and allot of them are under force assimilated Serbians.
Again we have situation on Kosmet(not Kosovo), that first aim of your "government" is criminal in Europe and GB.
What are your producing there?
So yo`re trying to get some knowledge about industry from west countries, but mi niinoooo! (my little boy) there is nothing instant.
You need to pass allot of time, at least three of your generation or more than 100 years for you to have some scope what is country and industry.
And during that period you can ask us because we know how to manage with state and what is state,but be sure that political situation will be different in next 100 years.
Who mentioned safety, I was talking about territory, normally you can`t pass with bike when you`re killing Serbs there.
Also you can continue with demolition of non protected Serbian historical monuments on Kosmet, but you need also 100 year to do it, because on every hill on Kosmet there was old Serbian church, monastery, or house.

American Hawk, I'm assuming you're of Serbian extraction. Let's see, most Americans don't know what Kosova is, never mind know where it is. I'm more than certain, most yanks wouldn't be able to point Kosova out on a map. It doesn't matter to me however, your country, however it may well annoy you, recognises mine and that goes a pretty long way. You're right, we're not really independent, we're both a US colony and EU protectorate. However, we prefer this form of dependence, to the one we had 20 odd years ago. So thanks for being hawkish, without it, it paid off well for us

No we were celebrating the establishment of an Albanian state.

Don't think you "liberated" Albania, had Greece and Serbia had their own way; they'd have dived Albania between the two of them. The Great Powers at the time forced Greece and Serbia into accepting an Albanian state, however you managed to worm you way around it by keeping 40% of Natural Albania for yourselves.

And in 1912, us Albanians in Kosova weren't liberated either. We just exchanged one colonial rulers the Ottomans, for another colonial ruler, the Serbs. You say "liberated" Kosova, whereas we say conquered as the vast majority of Kosova wasn't happy about the arrival of the Serb Occupation in 1912. Even Serbia's own sources say that a maximum of 25% of Kosova was Serb/ Orthodox. But thankfully in 1999 and 2008 we were able to remedy the injustices of 1912.

Yes ride your bike through Kosova, you'll be safe. But if I were to ride my bike in that Wild West aka Northern Kosova I would very much fear for my life.

what total nonsense Comm. Serbia has tried to label the KLA a terrorist organization since 1999 and it has failed and failed big time. The persecution failed to provide ample evidence for the things mr. Haradinaj was accused of. Unlike say Mladic or Karadzic, Haradinaj did not spend his time hiding, becoming some sort of new age healer, he handed himself in. Now, you point me to a KLA crime that measures up to Srberenica, the siege of Sarajevo, the bombing of Vukovar, the mass expulsion of 1 mill. people...yo can't. do you know why you can't? because they don't exist. The organ allegation? yes, the EU has challenged Mr Marty to submit his evidence and has point blank refused. in short, whatever you opinion on Kosova (and I know you're opinion) the allegations against the KLA have NEVER been proven, not even once. conspiracy theories, yes we have plenty. oh and i know you like stuff write mafia led Kosova, however, EULEX rules over here (they can veto any decision the K.
