"Yeah, the "Illyrians" like the Krasniqi or Kelmendi - ex - Klimentovici who forgot where they came from. Most Albanians are of Hellenic or Slavonic origin who changed their mind (and their faith) for convenience. Study a bit more, more than what is the pathetic curriculum of Albanian schools - see, the "achievements" of Albanian education can be judged all over the world. "

--Ataman you have me confused. I have been schooled in the American system. Sorry I dont fit your pre-fabricated theory of what an Albanian is. I also am an Atheist so I dont give a s..t about your fairy tales you call faiths. Now back then who knows who screwed up with who. It is an absurdity to think that people didnt jump ship and assimilate into the other culture; Serbs did it, Albanians did it, Greeks did it. Now whats your point?

"And btw - if you look for people who can call Illyrians who once ruled Pogradec being their ancestors just go to Croatia, Bosnia and some parts of Serbia, Albania is a wrong place."

-- The Enkelei are known to have lived in the region of lake Ohrid. Open a book. Hence why Pogradec was known as Enkelana. It is also known that the Illyrians stretched in all those areas you mentioned. As I said as an Albanian it doesnt matter at all to me if I am related to Illyrians. It matters a lot to you since the whole fabric of your society is based on the denial of the Albanian factor. Thats why Albania is in the wrong place for you. Its a sad state of existence for your society

The volatility of UN special representatives in Kosovo often misguided Kosovo Albanians. . Instead of exercising an unbiased and balanced policy in multi-ethnic Kosovo, they shut their eyes to the deepening ethnic crises. They downgraded the arising violence and crime against Serbs in Kosovo by ethnic Albanians. They exerted influence-peddling policy ,so every whim by Albanians was granted. So their expectations are great. It brought about their mumbo jumbo politics intended to carry out their long-awaited, non-hidden agenda, the Albanian ethnic country-Great Albania, comprising the territories of Serbia , Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro which will be accomplished peacefully or by force, flouting all UN Security Council resolutions. It is about time Albanians stopped being Western pets, cheeky devils and behave civilized and the UN rose to the occasion. By the way, would it ever cross the minds of Americans or British to consider the possibility of allowing Al Qaeda to erect a monument in their territories.

Okay Albanians

Listen good. Your American pals are fed up of your trouble making that is for sure otherwise they would not have told you to "BACK OFF", but here is the real reason they are giving you a warning.

The US and the EU are in big S**t and they can't afford another conflict caused by you, if you start something you are the ones who'll get your butts kicked by your neighbours and Uncle Sam will not jump in to bail you out this time.

There is trouble brewing in the US amongst their own people and that my dear Albanians is the US Governments's priority!! Do you really believe that the US Government think that you Albanians are more important than their own troubles in the USA??? They are watching theirs backs at home and you are a thorn in their side.

Watch it otherwise you lot are going to make more trouble than you bargained for, the ball is in your court so my advice to you is behave or face a hard slapping down. Have a nice day now.

The european Political elite has not yet understood, the Balkan's "explosive" historic background,neither has learned from the historic past . The recent 15 years, the rising of nationalism and populism in Balkans is a reality .After the 100th anniversary ,of the end of balkans wars ,The borders in Balkans seems to be not permanently in the minds of some balkanian leaders, Even if , have no military power, their propaganda network has invented "fraternal populations" who are "under occupation" in the neighboring countries,or even, comical historical claims that have no logical link with ,the so far known ancient or medieval or modern history of european civilizations !!these mechanisms , have started publishing or borrowing from the past eras , expansionistic and irredentist maps, showing to the public their national "territorial inspirations" for the so called "great country" or "united ethnicity" Those maps are not only existing in the media and the web, but also in their schools , and this is terrible ! I think it is time for the europeans to take measures, instead of talks and friendly caresses before its to late for peace ! Today's period in balkans has many similarities with 1900-1913 for those who are studing histoy

Sorry, but there is nothing important about Albania. Albania is a "no go land", its poorer and way more backward then any other country in the region. Even though Albania has been free of conflict you are not even close to joining the Eu. Saying "yes" to everything your masters throw at you i not a sign of strenght but a sign of weekness. Kosovo is a hopeless case. 14 years of international rule and still criminals have an iron grip of society. Your behavior towards minoritets and their property is unseen in Europe today. If you think that Nato will come to your aid when it comes to Presevo, Macedonia and Montenegro you better think again. The west is geting fed up with albanians, just like the rest of us. 14 years after the war ended all you think about is how to breed and how to steal more land while at the same time albanins are starving and are the outcasts of Europe. You claim to be belong to an ancient civilazation, the illyrians, yet you haven't developed one bit.

No, EU (and US, partially) cares about not having new troubles there. Just as they stopped Milosevic and his extremist ideas of 'greater Serbia', a common country for all Serbs in the Balkans, they will stop extremist Albanians who share a similar dream of a 'greater Albania', may it be Berisha in Albania (well, I think he's only pretending, for election purposes) or the socalled 'self-determination movement' in Kosovo which openly advocates a 'greater Albania', not to mention the leftovers terrorist of the KLA and KLwhatever in Preshevo.

Nationalistic rhetoric for electoral purpose , it's wrong and must be condemned. US had to condemn it, and rightfully so. Having sad that, sadly ,there is a widely spread racial bias towards Albanians in Balkans as evident by many commentator in this forum. Unfortunately this creates a fertile soil for the populist and/or nationalist leaders. It also contributes to a further push toward national union. Some here consider it Greater Albania, some Natural Albania.

Yeah, the city names like "Pogradec" or "Gjorokastra" sounds sooooo "Illyrian", I just laugh my butt off.
(Ataman, 16 February 2013 14:10)

Ataman, I will speak for Pogradec. It was known as Enkelana until it was conquered by the Bulgarian empire. People there still know it as Enkelana, ecen though it is reffered daily as Pogradec. In the village of Selce, previously called Pelion there are hundreds of Illyrian grave sites carved into the rocks. This is a village of the city of Pogradec.
You saw a Slavic sounding name and figured there could never be traces of Illyrian civilization there. The kingdom of Bardhylis, first Illyrian king we know of, included lands of the villages and city of Pogradec. Now as an Albanian I really don't give two sh.. ts if you or your Serbs compatriots think we're related to Illyrians. It personally doesn't matter to me either. We could be from Sicily, Turkey, Azerbajan or whatever new theory you Serbs got nowadays. The fact that we are there and we are Albanian is what matters to me. It makes no difference whatsoever regarding Kosova either. Kosova is what its population is. Find a better argument already. Also study a bit more. This was a rookie mistake. Too much blind nationalism. You can be a hater all you want, it doesn't erase the fact that Illyrians once ruled Pogradec.

This just shows how important is the Albanian factor in the Blakans and how sensitive US is about this fact.

In the last 20 years Albanian leadership has been the most obedient and backbonless leaders that any nation can immagine to have. They have been the greatest YES man's that US has ever encountered.

The peace and stability in the Balkans is owed almost exclusively to the Albanians leaders who are satisfied with the minimum of the minimum and never think or work for the good of Albania but only for their political success and to please US/EU.

You have 20,000 Serbs in north Kosova having state while 600,000 Albanians in FYROM being minority.

And if someone in the US state dept thinks that this is sustainable and that this situation can be kept as it is by shouting at Berisha they are miserably mistaken. Berisha, Thaci & co are corupt so shouting at them can work for a while but not forever. We Albanains will replace them soon and elect leadership that will DEMAND 100% reciprocity in the relation with our neighbours. 100%.

And of course this will inevitably bring huge friktions with the US/EU who never cared about Albanins or of anyone else for that matter. All they care is to support the dominant force to shout the weaker one and obtain any kind even fake stability.

But Albanians cannot be the only one to pay the price of the peace. We will not pay this invoice anymore.

Berisha is just charlatan and you can bully him but he is history.

Pete K., do you honestly believe that the US cares about either, either? They have global interests, and the Balkans are one of them. They (US) chose to back the Albanians there, because they were obedient subjects, whereas the Serbs are not so much. The US wanted a large military base in the Balkans, amongst other things, and quickly built it after their "humanitarian intervention". Take your head out of your own butt, and smell the fresh air, there is truth there, and not where you have keeping your own head. Just look at how Berisha got slapped down by the US for sticking his long pointy nose in the affairs of other countries. A good slap down is headed for Pristina soon also, unless they get back in line with US interests and stop making trouble.

The only thing the average American knows about Albanians is from watching the movie Taken so it is disingenous for any Albanian to say that Americans love Albanians.On the other hand Serbian-Americans who vastly outnumber Albanians in the US were very cheap with their money and did not buy off politicians aka lobbying/political contributions such as the Clintons/Biden who were and have always been up for sale to the highest bidder.

the only reason why Sali Berisha keeps bsing us with this nationalistic fairy tails is because the elections are coming and he needs his popularity raise. Just like Dacic did pre-elections by arresting the Kosovo policeman and the Gjilani group or whatever it is called , and then released them after he won the prime minister seat.

USA has made it clear, the balkan issue has finished with Kosovo`s independence and there will be no more changes. There are no powerful politicians in balkans that can change this. One day all of us will become a EU member and will realize that our history of conflict was nothing than our common destruction. I don`t know if I`ll live enough to see Albanians and Serbs go on well with each other but I hope at least our children will not go through what we went through because they don`t deserve that kind of life.

It was addressed to Berisha not to use nationalism for his election purposes. It specifically mentions the Presevo valley and the KLA memorial removal. It says that the scope of Serbia-Kosovo dialogue is to stop Serbia's interference in Kosovo's internal affairs and advises Berisha to do the same and not interfere in Serbia's internal affairs. For those serbs who do not understand it.It means that the order in this part of the world is kept by the US. Whoever things that will stay in power in Balkans by creating inter-ethnic conflicts is wrong. Case in point Serbia.You got bombed.

From the outside it seems quite clear that the US is referring to Serbia proper (and Macedonia). They would refer to Kosovo as 'Kosovo' not as Serbia if this was the territory they had in mind. It is equally clear that whilst they (reluctantly) supported the UDI they will not countenance a Greater Albania. Unfortunately they may have been a bit naive to believe that either Albania or Kosovo would settle for what they have now. The Albanian Government is like a man who is winning at roulette and doesn't know when to cash in his chips. Bearing in mind the colours of their flag it's no surprise that they are betting on red and black at the same time.

From the outside it seems quite clear that the US is referring to Serbia proper (and Macedonia). They would refer to Kosovo as 'Kosovo' not as Serbia if this was the territory they had in mind. It is equally clear that whilst they (reluctantly) supported the UDI they will not countenance a Greater Albania. Unfortunately they may have been a bit naive to believe that either Albania or Kosovo would settle for what they have now. The Albanian Government is like a man who is winning at roulette and doesn't know when to cash in his chips. Bearing in mind the colours of their flag it's no surprise that they are betting on red and black at the same time.

Pete K., do you honestly believe that the US cares about either, either? They have global interests, and the Balkans are one of them. They (US) chose to back the Albanians there, because they were obedient subjects, whereas the Serbs are not so much. The US wanted a large military base in the Balkans, amongst other things, and quickly built it after their "humanitarian intervention". Take your head out of your own butt, and smell the fresh air, there is truth there, and not where you have keeping your own head. Just look at how Berisha got slapped down by the US for sticking his long pointy nose in the affairs of other countries. A good slap down is headed for Pristina soon also, unless they get back in line with US interests and stop making trouble.

Sorry, but there is nothing important about Albania. Albania is a "no go land", its poorer and way more backward then any other country in the region. Even though Albania has been free of conflict you are not even close to joining the Eu. Saying "yes" to everything your masters throw at you i not a sign of strenght but a sign of weekness. Kosovo is a hopeless case. 14 years of international rule and still criminals have an iron grip of society. Your behavior towards minoritets and their property is unseen in Europe today. If you think that Nato will come to your aid when it comes to Presevo, Macedonia and Montenegro you better think again. The west is geting fed up with albanians, just like the rest of us. 14 years after the war ended all you think about is how to breed and how to steal more land while at the same time albanins are starving and are the outcasts of Europe. You claim to be belong to an ancient civilazation, the illyrians, yet you haven't developed one bit.

This just shows how important is the Albanian factor in the Blakans and how sensitive US is about this fact.

In the last 20 years Albanian leadership has been the most obedient and backbonless leaders that any nation can immagine to have. They have been the greatest YES man's that US has ever encountered.

The peace and stability in the Balkans is owed almost exclusively to the Albanians leaders who are satisfied with the minimum of the minimum and never think or work for the good of Albania but only for their political success and to please US/EU.

You have 20,000 Serbs in north Kosova having state while 600,000 Albanians in FYROM being minority.

And if someone in the US state dept thinks that this is sustainable and that this situation can be kept as it is by shouting at Berisha they are miserably mistaken. Berisha, Thaci & co are corupt so shouting at them can work for a while but not forever. We Albanains will replace them soon and elect leadership that will DEMAND 100% reciprocity in the relation with our neighbours. 100%.

And of course this will inevitably bring huge friktions with the US/EU who never cared about Albanins or of anyone else for that matter. All they care is to support the dominant force to shout the weaker one and obtain any kind even fake stability.

But Albanians cannot be the only one to pay the price of the peace. We will not pay this invoice anymore.

Ataman, I will speak for Pogradec. It was known as Enkelana until it was conquered by the Bulgarian empire. People there still know it as Enkelana, ecen though it is reffered daily as Pogradec. In the village of Selce, previously called Pelion there are hundreds of Illyrian grave sites carved into the rocks. This is a village of the city of Pogradec.
You saw a Slavic sounding name and figured there could never be traces of Illyrian civilization there. The kingdom of Bardhylis, first Illyrian king we know of, included lands of the villages and city of Pogradec. Now as an Albanian I really don't give two sh.. ts if you or your Serbs compatriots think we're related to Illyrians. It personally doesn't matter to me either. We could be from Sicily, Turkey, Azerbajan or whatever new theory you Serbs got nowadays. The fact that we are there and we are Albanian is what matters to me. It makes no difference whatsoever regarding Kosova either. Kosova is what its population is. Find a better argument already. Also study a bit more. This was a rookie mistake. Too much blind nationalism. You can be a hater all you want, it doesn't erase the fact that Illyrians once ruled Pogradec.

The volatility of UN special representatives in Kosovo often misguided Kosovo Albanians. . Instead of exercising an unbiased and balanced policy in multi-ethnic Kosovo, they shut their eyes to the deepening ethnic crises. They downgraded the arising violence and crime against Serbs in Kosovo by ethnic Albanians. They exerted influence-peddling policy ,so every whim by Albanians was granted. So their expectations are great. It brought about their mumbo jumbo politics intended to carry out their long-awaited, non-hidden agenda, the Albanian ethnic country-Great Albania, comprising the territories of Serbia , Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro which will be accomplished peacefully or by force, flouting all UN Security Council resolutions. It is about time Albanians stopped being Western pets, cheeky devils and behave civilized and the UN rose to the occasion. By the way, would it ever cross the minds of Americans or British to consider the possibility of allowing Al Qaeda to erect a monument in their territories.

This just shows how important is the Albanian factor in the Blakans and how sensitive US is about this fact.

In the last 20 years Albanian leadership has been the most obedient and backbonless leaders that any nation can immagine to have. They have been the greatest YES man's that US has ever encountered.

The peace and stability in the Balkans is owed almost exclusively to the Albanians leaders who are satisfied with the minimum of the minimum and never think or work for the good of Albania but only for their political success and to please US/EU.

You have 20,000 Serbs in north Kosova having state while 600,000 Albanians in FYROM being minority.

And if someone in the US state dept thinks that this is sustainable and that this situation can be kept as it is by shouting at Berisha they are miserably mistaken. Berisha, Thaci & co are corupt so shouting at them can work for a while but not forever. We Albanains will replace them soon and elect leadership that will DEMAND 100% reciprocity in the relation with our neighbours. 100%.

And of course this will inevitably bring huge friktions with the US/EU who never cared about Albanins or of anyone else for that matter. All they care is to support the dominant force to shout the weaker one and obtain any kind even fake stability.

But Albanians cannot be the only one to pay the price of the peace. We will not pay this invoice anymore.

Berisha is just charlatan and you can bully him but he is history.

Ataman, I will speak for Pogradec. It was known as Enkelana until it was conquered by the Bulgarian empire. People there still know it as Enkelana, ecen though it is reffered daily as Pogradec. In the village of Selce, previously called Pelion there are hundreds of Illyrian grave sites carved into the rocks. This is a village of the city of Pogradec.
You saw a Slavic sounding name and figured there could never be traces of Illyrian civilization there. The kingdom of Bardhylis, first Illyrian king we know of, included lands of the villages and city of Pogradec. Now as an Albanian I really don't give two sh.. ts if you or your Serbs compatriots think we're related to Illyrians. It personally doesn't matter to me either. We could be from Sicily, Turkey, Azerbajan or whatever new theory you Serbs got nowadays. The fact that we are there and we are Albanian is what matters to me. It makes no difference whatsoever regarding Kosova either. Kosova is what its population is. Find a better argument already. Also study a bit more. This was a rookie mistake. Too much blind nationalism. You can be a hater all you want, it doesn't erase the fact that Illyrians once ruled Pogradec.

It was addressed to Berisha not to use nationalism for his election purposes. It specifically mentions the Presevo valley and the KLA memorial removal. It says that the scope of Serbia-Kosovo dialogue is to stop Serbia's interference in Kosovo's internal affairs and advises Berisha to do the same and not interfere in Serbia's internal affairs. For those serbs who do not understand it.It means that the order in this part of the world is kept by the US. Whoever things that will stay in power in Balkans by creating inter-ethnic conflicts is wrong. Case in point Serbia.You got bombed.

the only reason why Sali Berisha keeps bsing us with this nationalistic fairy tails is because the elections are coming and he needs his popularity raise. Just like Dacic did pre-elections by arresting the Kosovo policeman and the Gjilani group or whatever it is called , and then released them after he won the prime minister seat.

USA has made it clear, the balkan issue has finished with Kosovo`s independence and there will be no more changes. There are no powerful politicians in balkans that can change this. One day all of us will become a EU member and will realize that our history of conflict was nothing than our common destruction.

From the outside it seems quite clear that the US is referring to Serbia proper (and Macedonia). They would refer to Kosovo as 'Kosovo' not as Serbia if this was the territory they had in mind. It is equally clear that whilst they (reluctantly) supported the UDI they will not countenance a Greater Albania. Unfortunately they may have been a bit naive to believe that either Albania or Kosovo would settle for what they have now. The Albanian Government is like a man who is winning at roulette and doesn't know when to cash in his chips. Bearing in mind the colours of their flag it's no surprise that they are betting on red and black at the same time.

Pete K., do you honestly believe that the US cares about either, either? They have global interests, and the Balkans are one of them. They (US) chose to back the Albanians there, because they were obedient subjects, whereas the Serbs are not so much. The US wanted a large military base in the Balkans, amongst other things, and quickly built it after their "humanitarian intervention". Take your head out of your own butt, and smell the fresh air, there is truth there, and not where you have keeping your own head. Just look at how Berisha got slapped down by the US for sticking his long pointy nose in the affairs of other countries. A good slap down is headed for Pristina soon also, unless they get back in line with US interests and stop making trouble.

Sorry, but there is nothing important about Albania. Albania is a "no go land", its poorer and way more backward then any other country in the region. Even though Albania has been free of conflict you are not even close to joining the Eu. Saying "yes" to everything your masters throw at you i not a sign of strenght but a sign of weekness. Kosovo is a hopeless case. 14 years of international rule and still criminals have an iron grip of society. Your behavior towards minoritets and their property is unseen in Europe today. If you think that Nato will come to your aid when it comes to Presevo, Macedonia and Montenegro you better think again. The west is geting fed up with albanians, just like the rest of us. 14 years after the war ended all you think about is how to breed and how to steal more land while at the same time albanins are starving and are the outcasts of Europe. You claim to be belong to an ancient civilazation, the illyrians, yet you haven't developed one bit.

The volatility of UN special representatives in Kosovo often misguided Kosovo Albanians. . Instead of exercising an unbiased and balanced policy in multi-ethnic Kosovo, they shut their eyes to the deepening ethnic crises. They downgraded the arising violence and crime against Serbs in Kosovo by ethnic Albanians. They exerted influence-peddling policy ,so every whim by Albanians was granted. So their expectations are great. It brought about their mumbo jumbo politics intended to carry out their long-awaited, non-hidden agenda, the Albanian ethnic country-Great Albania, comprising the territories of Serbia , Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro which will be accomplished peacefully or by force, flouting all UN Security Council resolutions. It is about time Albanians stopped being Western pets, cheeky devils and behave civilized and the UN rose to the occasion. By the way, would it ever cross the minds of Americans or British to consider the possibility of allowing Al Qaeda to erect a monument in their territories.

You shouldn't make your intellectual handicaps that publicly known around here. Some might think you're incapable of even using an internet search engine, let alone Berisha's little more than a thorn in the hind quarters of civilization.
