What a great idea..., to drop it all and let the other balkan countries keep shitting on us. Really good idea Mister Westerwelle. Why don't you look at it how it is, beat it and mind your own business. We've had enough of West-Europe's commands.

yes, they should have left the pillaging, village burning and the destitution of a million people to continue! look at Kosova today, it sure as hell beats the 90's one :-) p.s. i never knew, making up 93% of a territory constituted a minority! my math skills sure need brushing up!

How Albanians will regulate their political lives is our exclusive internal matter.

We shall convince our neighbors that our unification is in their interest too.

You can call it nationalism, I call it life.

You cannot have a situation where to 20,000 Serbs in northern Kosova is given essentially a republic, while to 600,000 Albanians in FYROM are treated as minority.

And even the minority rights of Albanians in FYROM are not respected.
If someone thinks that this kind of life is civilized co-habitation well I don't think so. (ben, 24 February 2013 13:39) are you a drug addict where did you get those numbers from lol first off in northern kosovo there is 80,000 serbs and next there is no 600,000 alvanians in that slavic macedonia but there is 300,000 tops they say.lol. so wake up from your dreams.you alvanians better be careful ,because you talk too much and greece is taking back north epirus its started already.albania was never alvanian lands but it was greek-serbian lands.

And even the minority rights of Albanians in FYROM are not respected. The most recent provocation and clear violation of the law of languages in FYROM is the fact that the public transportation company of Skopje is refusing to write down on local buss the destination in Albanian as well, as it is envisaged by the law. This is apparently due to the "software problems"- the software can write in Cyrillic but not in Latin letters. And this is going on for 14 months now. The prosecutor is not opening an investigation about the clear breach of the law and so one...

If someone thinks that this kind of life is civilized co-habitation well I don't think so. Sooner or latter Albanians will say enough is enough we are done with you. You cannot grant a state to the Serbian micro minority in Kosova and deny to 10 times more Albanians even the minority rights in FYROM.

See it is the fascism of our neighborliness that pushes us to unite.

Whenever Serbs or FYROMians have upper hand they establish a clear apartheid policies towards us Albanians. That cannot be accepted as price for peace and US/EU should know that.

What the heck have Albanians done to deserve more territory. Serbia lost half its adult male population in the name of liberty in 1918. By a factor of 100, Serbia has sacrificed the most to freedom in Europe from the Balkans.

LOL
Get your facts straight!
Show me a link
I looked those stats and albanians were in 1910 about 50 % in the vilayet of ioannina and Vilayet of Kosovo also around 50%
But have in mind 32 years earlier Serbs were 400.000 only in Kosovo as albanians were 150.000!

Vilayet of Monastir Macedonians/Serbs were the majority 85% and Albanians were only 100.000 including parts of eastern albanian (Elbasan/Korcha etc).
Vilayet of Shkoder 50/50 Serb/Albanian

And before the Turks or in the ottoman empire it didn't matter if u were from Serbia/Bulgaria/Thracia/Macedonia/Greece/Bosnia/Romania (Serb/Slavs)
Same people, because of the nationalism in the 18th C Slavs divided themselves.

Anyway Albania= ex Serbian land.

Questioner

pre 11 godina

"AFP reports that during November celebrations marking 100 years of Albania's independence, Berisha irked his country's neighbors when he spoke of "Albanians from all Albanian lands," referring to ethnic Albanian populations in Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro."

It's a big misunderstanding. 'Albanian lands' means the lands in Albania. So where's the problem when all Albanians unite in their land? No, it would even solve all problems in the neighboring countries if these people would move 'home' to their land called Albania.

pre 11 godina

Few minor issues...

1. Most Albanians here write that Berisha only speaks what he speaks in order to win in elections. They suggest that Albanians don't support Berisha's nationalistic politics. These leaves me puzzled: If that's the case why would Berisha go on this way in case he wants to win? If Albanians do not want what Berisha offers, if they oppose Berisha's politics, why would they vote for him? Therefore I believe that the answer goes like this: Berisha offers to Albanians what they want. Majority of Albanians, where-ever they lodge, think like ben does: They want "unification of Albanian territories".

2. War is imminent. Albanians ("Albanian territories") will not be taken in the EU with their unification politics. So either their view change or they go on like today, and that means war in not so distant future.

3. Most Albanians here, like Rocky, write: "...borders in Europe (in the EU) will have no importance whatsoever!!!" This is completely wrong view. The fact that you may pass a borderline without being stopped and asked for documents does not mean that countries with their own laws and regulations have ceased to exist. It does not mean that Swedish politics are the same as Italian politics. It does not mean that Irish kids and English kids are taught in schools same "facts" about their troublesome common history. And if needed, border checks are returned in a week's time.

4. Albanians will drown in their nationalism.

Germany warns Albania against nationalist rhetoric

The truth is that Berisha does not worry Belgrade or Athens at all.They know it is just propaganda before general elections in Albania. This guy is their man. Damir Fazllic and Slobodan Tesic make good money for serbian politician when they do business with Berisha. Serbs in case you do not know, Berisha is also your son in law. He is married to Slobodanka(Liri in Albanian) Bulatovic a serbian woman from Montenegro. Athens is happy that Berisha gave them 300 km of our part of Jonian sea.

Dont forget that GREATER SERBIA HAPPEHD ALONG TIME AGO, 1913 when they got 4 diffrent parts from Kosova, Sanxhak of Nis, Sanxhak of Novi Pazar, Presheva valley and todays Kosova! In the north they got Vojvodina from Hungary and in the eastern parts romaninas and bulgarians, that will say 7 diffrent terretories to creat todays SERBIA! Albanians are not like the serbs who want terretories that does not belong to them they want terretories that do belong to them! In 1912 albanians in Skopje were over 80 % of the population but today they are only 20%!!!! another exempel Manastir(Bitola) 65 % of the population today only 5 %!! Albanians in Montengero were the main minority in 1912 today barley 5%!! Albanians in Sanxhak of Novi Pazar all assimilated to Bosnians! And there are no more Sanxhak of Nis albanians(ethnic cleansing)!!

In the london conference 1913, a brittish diplomat said that what we are doing to the albanians is unfair but thats what we have to do to stabilize the situation in Europe! So Albania lost more than 60 % of its territory! 1 year later a serb nationalist kills the autro hungarian prince and WW1 breaks out and around 37 milion people dies! But thats not enough! The serbs kill more than 300 000 in Bosnian war! In Kosova 800 000 albanians get expelled! 120 000 houses destroyed, 20 000 women dead! 15 000 killed! LET THE ALBANIANS DECIED THEIR OWN FUTURE THET DESERV IT!

Germany don’t embarrassed yourself with Stupid comments like these. This is a 2 way street. Borders were important to you when you re-united with East Germany before entering into EU framework and so those borders are important to us to re-unite as one Nation in one State. During WW1 & WW2 Albanian lands were like private properties in the back yards of aggressive neighboring states and like bargain chips to main Powers.
What you should say Sir, is; We realize the injustice committed against Albanian nation, leaving half of it outside the existing borders. We realize without solving the Albanian factor in the Balkans there will be no Peace in this part of the world. The mistakes of the past can not be contained any longer.
Your wishes Sir, vs 7 million Albanians determination to decide their own fate aspired from the drive to freedom is simply laughable.
Germany desire for domination will never happen as it never did.
The carrot and the stick policy here of keeping Albanian people weak and split among 5 different countries no longer works.
If you are afraid of a stronger single Albanian State in the Balkans that is your problem… We are simply not afraid of you.. SO DONT GET IN OUR WAY

Rocky, I hate to say it, but you're wrong. milosevic and serbia may have lost the wars militarily in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo, but they're aggression did in fact pay off. serbia ended up with half of Bosnia and all of Vojvodina. What did it cost them? Just a few thousand poor fool soldiers many of which had criminal backgrounds so serbia didn't want them back anyway, some refugees of serb ethnicity from the war zones which serbs could care less about, a few years of living with an embargo which milosevic was happy with because he and his friends made more money selling black market goods, and a bad reputation in the world which won't last forever. They almost got away with stealing lands from Croatia and Kosovo too. This was a very small price for what they won in the end, half of Bosnia and all of Vojvodina. Even though serbia had the military advantage and was beaten in each war, it won in the end with politics. The military were pawns and were expendable. They were used to get a seat at the bargaining table. This has been serbia's strategy in every war. serbia has never been known to produce great soldiers. It is known for their politicians who even after losing on the battlefield are able grow the size of serbia in the end. milosevic and serbia is a case study not of punishment for crimes, but rewards for crimes. milosevic was evil and a crook, but he was a master politician because he knew every move his opponents were going to make. Like hitler and stalin.

Milosevic, was way more powerful then old Sali, both economically & militarily, and even he could not get close to realizing his dreams of a greater Serbia! Besides, the majority of the population in both country's of Kosova & Albanian, are at the present against unification! Unification is only possible, thru the process of a unified Europe! And then, borders in Europe will have no importance whatsoever!!! So please everyone, just relax and don't pay any attention to old Sali. B...

Germany and US ased Tirana to soften its rhetoric, not more. Westerwelle has till September in his office, but the so-called Albanian question will on the agenda for many many years. Like in Kosovo the Albanians need only to stay together, what they are doing (the Serbs never), and to put ever and ever their demands on the agenda. So, they will wait for a rich harvest. The Albanians have sense for one of the most important factors in history, the factors time and the best moment. If you see the pressure on Belgrade to deliver until April "historic results", the outcome can only be terrible for Serbia as complete capitulation oppsite the Albanians with farreaching consequences for the future of the Serb territory at all. Some words from Tirana are bringing Westerwelle directely to Albania, but there is nothing what can him bring to Belgrade.

We shall unite- just as Germany.

Unification of Albanian lands is in the interest of our neighbours as well.

- Tadic said it clearly: give us the northern Kosova and the rest can unite to Albania. Dacic proposed very similar thing with its ‘functional separation’ idea.

- The FYROM-ian politicians the ex PM Georgievski proposed it even formally: western FYROM should go with Albania. This was also endorsed by the FYROM-ian academy of science and arts resolution.

It is only the dog-obedient Albanian politicians to the US/EU who did not and do not accept the proposals from our neighbours for division.

We shall convince our neighbours that unification of Albanian territories is in their interest as well.

FYROM functions only because we Albanians allow that state to function. It is not in their interest to be our hostages. It is not in EU/US interest to keep fireman brigades on stand-by. So each time when a charlatan as Berisha would say a word in election days they go into fibrillation.

Bosnia is not a functional state as Serbs in Bosnia do not allow Bosnia to be functional. We are getting criticised, Serbia is getting EU negotiation date.

All Albanians in FYROM need to do is for 2 months to stop paying taxes, stop using FYROMian currency, stop using FYROMina payment system, stop applying laws of that so-called state and FYROM's economy can be damaged irreversibly. And no US or EU army can do a shait about that. It is OUR life and WE decide about OUR lives.

Its not like they will roll in to neighbouring countries with their highly advanced and technological armada and retake land that the illyrian controlled 45 gazillian millenias ago. Its not illegal to have wet fantasies.

Olli

pre 11 godina

Few minor issues...

1. Most Albanians here write that Berisha only speaks what he speaks in order to win in elections. They suggest that Albanians don't support Berisha's nationalistic politics. These leaves me puzzled: If that's the case why would Berisha go on this way in case he wants to win? If Albanians do not want what Berisha offers, if they oppose Berisha's politics, why would they vote for him? Therefore I believe that the answer goes like this: Berisha offers to Albanians what they want. Majority of Albanians, where-ever they lodge, think like ben does: They want "unification of Albanian territories".

2. War is imminent. Albanians ("Albanian territories") will not be taken in the EU with their unification politics. So either their view change or they go on like today, and that means war in not so distant future.

3. Most Albanians here, like Rocky, write: "...borders in Europe (in the EU) will have no importance whatsoever!!!" This is completely wrong view. The fact that you may pass a borderline without being stopped and asked for documents does not mean that countries with their own laws and regulations have ceased to exist. It does not mean that Swedish politics are the same as Italian politics. It does not mean that Irish kids and English kids are taught in schools same "facts" about their troublesome common history. And if needed, border checks are returned in a week's time.

4. Albanians will drown in their nationalism.

In the north they got Vojvodina from Hungary and in the eastern parts romaninas and bulgarians, that will say 7 diffrent terretories to creat todays SERBIA! Albanians are not like the serbs who want terretories that does not belong to them they want terretories that do belong to them! In 1912 albanians in Skopje were over 80 % of the population but today they are only 20%!!!! another exempel Manastir(Bitola) 65 % of the population today only 5 %!! Albanians in Montengero were the main minority in 1912 today barley 5%!! Albanians in Sanxhak of Novi Pazar all assimilated to Bosnians! And there are no more Sanxhak of Nis albanians(ethnic cleansing)!!

In the london conference 1913, a brittish diplomat said that what we are doing to the albanians is unfair but thats what we have to do to stabilize the situation in Europe! So Albania lost more than 60 % of its territory! 1 year later a serb nationalist kills the autro hungarian prince and WW1 breaks out and around 37 milion people dies! But thats not enough! The serbs kill more than 300 000 in Bosnian war! In Kosova 800 000 albanians get expelled! 120 000 houses destroyed, 20 000 women dead! 15 000 killed!

But have in mind 32 years earlier Serbs were 400.000 only in Kosovo as albanians were 150.000!

Vilayet of Monastir Macedonians/Serbs were the majority 85% and Albanians were only 100.000 including parts of eastern albanian (Elbasan/Korcha etc).
Vilayet of Shkoder 50/50 Serb/Albanian

And before the Turks or in the ottoman empire it didn't matter if u were from Serbia/Bulgaria/Thracia/Macedonia/Greece/Bosnia/Romania (Serb/Slavs)

During WW1 & WW2 Albanian lands were like private properties in the back yards of aggressive neighboring states and like bargain chips to main Powers.
What you should say Sir, is; We realize the injustice committed against Albanian nation, leaving half of it outside the existing borders. We realize without solving the Albanian factor in the Balkans there will be no Peace in this part of the world. The mistakes of the past can not be contained any longer.

Germany and US ased Tirana to soften its rhetoric, not more. Westerwelle has till September in his office, but the so-called Albanian question will on the agenda for many many years. Like in Kosovo the Albanians need only to stay together, what they are doing (the Serbs never), and to put ever and ever their demands on the agenda. So, they will wait for a rich harvest. The Albanians have sense for one of the most important factors in history, the factors time and the best moment. If you see the pressure on Belgrade to deliver until April "historic results", the outcome can only be terrible for Serbia as complete capitulation oppsite the Albanians with farreaching consequences for the future of the Serb territory at all. Some words from Tirana are bringing Westerwelle directely to Albania, but there is nothing what can him bring to Belgrade.

And even the minority rights of Albanians in FYROM are not respected. The most recent provocation and clear violation of the law of languages in FYROM is the fact that the public transportation company of Skopje is refusing to write down on local buss the destination in Albanian as well, as it is envisaged by the law. This is apparently due to the "software problems"- the software can write in Cyrillic but not in Latin letters. And this is going on for 14 months now. The prosecutor is not opening an investigation about the clear breach of the law and so one...

If someone thinks that this kind of life is civilized co-habitation well I don't think so. Sooner or latter Albanians will say enough is enough we are done with you. You cannot grant a state to the Serbian micro minority in Kosova and deny to 10 times more Albanians even the minority rights in FYROM.

Rocky, I hate to say it, but you're wrong. milosevic and serbia may have lost the wars militarily in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo, but they're aggression did in fact pay off. serbia ended up with half of Bosnia and all of Vojvodina. What did it cost them? Just a few thousand poor fool soldiers many of which had criminal backgrounds so serbia didn't want them back anyway, some refugees of serb ethnicity from the war zones which serbs could care less about, a few years of living with an embargo which milosevic was happy with because he and his friends made more money selling black market goods, and a bad reputation in the world which won't last forever. They almost got away with stealing lands from Croatia and Kosovo too. This was a very small price for what they won in the end, half of Bosnia and all of Vojvodina. Even though serbia had the military advantage and was beaten in each war, it won in the end with politics. The military were pawns and were expendable. They were used to get a seat at the bargaining table. This has been serbia's strategy in every war. serbia has never been known to produce great soldiers. It is known for their politicians who even after losing on the battlefield are able grow the size of serbia in the end. milosevic and serbia is a case study not of punishment for crimes, but rewards for crimes. milosevic was evil and a crook, but he was a master politician because he knew every move his opponents were going to make.

Just a few thousand poor fool soldiers many of which had criminal backgrounds so serbia didn't want them back anyway, some refugees of serb ethnicity from the war zones which serbs could care less about, a few years of living with an embargo which milosevic was happy with because he and his friends made more money selling black market goods, and a bad reputation in the world which won't last forever. They almost got away with stealing lands from Croatia and Kosovo too. This was a very small price for what they won in the end, half of Bosnia and all of Vojvodina. Even though serbia had the military advantage and was beaten in each war, it won in the end with politics. The military were pawns and were expendable. They were used to get a seat at the bargaining table. This has been serbia's strategy in every war. serbia has never been known to produce great soldiers. It is known for their politicians who even after losing on the battlefield are able grow the size of serbia in the end. milosevic and serbia is a case study not of punishment for crimes, but rewards for crimes. milosevic was evil and a crook, but he was a master politician because he knew every move his opponents were going to make. Like hitler and stalin.

Germany don’t embarrassed yourself with Stupid comments like these. This is a 2 way street. Borders were important to you when you re-united with East Germany before entering into EU framework and so those borders are important to us to re-unite as one Nation in one State. During WW1 & WW2 Albanian lands were like private properties in the back yards of aggressive neighboring states and like bargain chips to main Powers.
What you should say Sir, is; We realize the injustice committed against Albanian nation, leaving half of it outside the existing borders. We realize without solving the Albanian factor in the Balkans there will be no Peace in this part of the world. The mistakes of the past can not be contained any longer.
Your wishes Sir, vs 7 million Albanians determination to decide their own fate aspired from the drive to freedom is simply laughable.
Germany desire for domination will never happen as it never did.
The carrot and the stick policy here of keeping Albanian people weak and split among 5 different countries no longer works.
If you are afraid of a stronger single Albanian State in the Balkans that is your problem… We are simply not afraid of you.. SO DONT GET IN OUR WAY

Germany and US ased Tirana to soften its rhetoric, not more. Westerwelle has till September in his office, but the so-called Albanian question will on the agenda for many many years. Like in Kosovo the Albanians need only to stay together, what they are doing (the Serbs never), and to put ever and ever their demands on the agenda. So, they will wait for a rich harvest. The Albanians have sense for one of the most important factors in history, the factors time and the best moment. If you see the pressure on Belgrade to deliver until April "historic results", the outcome can only be terrible for Serbia as complete capitulation oppsite the Albanians with farreaching consequences for the future of the Serb territory at all. Some words from Tirana are bringing Westerwelle directely to Albania, but there is nothing what can him bring to Belgrade.

The ideas are already in their culture...are you going to grant them only too live in the country called Albania? You forget you have that "special case" (pandora) called Kosovo...what it appears more like is yet , again more German arrogance for your own "internal" consumption...in essence, this is a "process" that has been going on for over 70 years and your not going to do anything ...

How Albanians will regulate their political lives is our exclusive internal matter.

We shall convince our neighbors that our unification is in their interest too.

You can call it nationalism, I call it life.

You cannot have a situation where to 20,000 Serbs in northern Kosova is given essentially a republic, while to 600,000 Albanians in FYROM are treated as minority.

And even the minority rights of Albanians in FYROM are not respected. The most recent provocation and clear violation of the law of languages in FYROM is the fact that the public transportation company of Skopje is refusing to write down on local buss the destination in Albanian as well, as it is envisaged by the law. This is apparently due to the "software problems"- the software can write in Cyrillic but not in Latin letters. And this is going on for 14 months now. The prosecutor is not opening an investigation about the clear breach of the law and so one...

If someone thinks that this kind of life is civilized co-habitation well I don't think so. Sooner or latter Albanians will say enough is enough we are done with you. You cannot grant a state to the Serbian micro minority in Kosova and deny to 10 times more Albanians even the minority rights in FYROM.

See it is the fascism of our neighborliness that pushes us to unite.

Whenever Serbs or FYROMians have upper hand they establish a clear apartheid policies towards us Albanians. That cannot be accepted as price for peace and US/EU should know that.

Milosevic, was way more powerful then old Sali, both economically & militarily, and even he could not get close to realizing his dreams of a greater Serbia! Besides, the majority of the population in both country's of Kosova & Albanian, are at the present against unification! Unification is only possible, thru the process of a unified Europe! And then, borders in Europe will have no importance whatsoever!!! So please everyone, just relax and don't pay any attention to old Sali. B...

I'm taking a few weeks off from the entire Albania / Kosovo issues. They have become quite boring, actually. Same thing every day - Albanian nationalism, Albanian nationalism, Albanian nationalism. That nosey old commie Berisha should tell his people what he is going to do to get them out of poverty, and not how Albanians need to unite into one great land of tribalism and poverty. But I have a feeling he has no economic solutions, so he plays the nationalism card. Well, he better hurry up and use that dirty card, because there is a lot of new evidence that proves that Bosnians are in deed the oldest ethnicity in the Balkans, and the Albanians. It's hard to dispute DNA - a lot more compelling than old Albanian folk tales. See you in a couple of weeks.

Olli

pre 11 godina

Few minor issues...

1. Most Albanians here write that Berisha only speaks what he speaks in order to win in elections. They suggest that Albanians don't support Berisha's nationalistic politics. These leaves me puzzled: If that's the case why would Berisha go on this way in case he wants to win? If Albanians do not want what Berisha offers, if they oppose Berisha's politics, why would they vote for him? Therefore I believe that the answer goes like this: Berisha offers to Albanians what they want. Majority of Albanians, where-ever they lodge, think like ben does: They want "unification of Albanian territories".

2. War is imminent. Albanians ("Albanian territories") will not be taken in the EU with their unification politics. So either their view change or they go on like today, and that means war in not so distant future.

3. Most Albanians here, like Rocky, write: "...borders in Europe (in the EU) will have no importance whatsoever!!!" This is completely wrong view. The fact that you may pass a borderline without being stopped and asked for documents does not mean that countries with their own laws and regulations have ceased to exist. It does not mean that Swedish politics are the same as Italian politics. It does not mean that Irish kids and English kids are taught in schools same "facts" about their troublesome common history. And if needed, border checks are returned in a week's time.

4. Albanians will drown in their nationalism.

It's a big misunderstanding. 'Albanian lands' means the lands in Albania. So where's the problem when all Albanians unite in their land? No, it would even solve all problems in the neighboring countries if these people would move 'home' to their land called Albania.

Vilayet of Monastir Macedonians/Serbs were the majority 85% and Albanians were only 100.000 including parts of eastern albanian (Elbasan/Korcha etc).
Vilayet of Shkoder 50/50 Serb/Albanian

And before the Turks or in the ottoman empire it didn't matter if u were from Serbia/Bulgaria/Thracia/Macedonia/Greece/Bosnia/Romania (Serb/Slavs)
