Almost as funny as the Argies talking about Colonialism.

We dont colonize mate, it is British invention. Same as mad cow disease. Only by British.

If the Falkland Islanders want to join with Argentina then I have no issue with that, just as long as their wishes are respected. The UK will not give in to Argentina's Colonial-Fascist demands.

Ardi.
So do you think that borders can be changed or not?
We can all agree that we need some kind of rule.
And Europe set the rule with Badinter's commision - republics of former Yugoslavia , and they named them all - Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia cannot be divided.
Then most of Europe spit in face of their own legal expert and many recognized Kosovo.
I personally wouldn't mind Presevo leaving if this would apply to all republics, but make no mistake, RS has to leave too. Why would one let Albanians leave Serbia if Serbs were cleansed from Croatia (with help of lot of Albanians like Agim Ceku, etc.) in order preserve integrity of the republic.
We then have a right to preserve Serbia in a same way.
As it is I wouldn't split Kosovo - all of it is Serbia!!!

Serbia will fully support your independence,there will be at least another 100 Countries around World.

Interesting that the people of the Falklands can decide to stay british while other minorities are refused that same right. Let Northern serb and RS be given the same right to decide to who they wish to belong. The west and its selective justice makes me sick. I hope all the crap they have caused all over the world will bite them in the ass one day.

I will be glad to recognize that, if you can do the same for Presheva valley. Regardless, that referendum was not recognized even by Serbia, so what are you talking about? Mixing apples and oranges does not help your brain.
(Ardi Asllani, 10 March 2013 21:21)

First, hold a referendum in Presevo. You'll probably get a majority there. You're a little more hard pressed in Bujanovac and Medvedja.

Second, the previous government refused to recognize it since they knew what the outcome would be. The present government is working on the obvious and using the north as the first 4 of eventually 10 Kosovo municipalities that will be separately run.

Do what you want in Presevo. If the results come out to what you think, we'll talk. Until that time, stop making parallels without any action :)

But that is what colonizers did. They sailed around the world, and took.
(winston, 10 March 2013 17:08)

Are you referring to the "founders" of Argentina? Christina wants to give her land back to the Indios?

Ardi Asllani

pre 11 godina

Correct. So do you recognize the referendum in northern Kosovo in 2011 or are you and other Albanians still bent on exerting your "law and order" on people that don't want it? :)

The fact, John, is that more then 2.5 million Serbs is left outside Serbia in Western designs, and their wishes don't matter at all. The fact is that probably more then 12 million Kurds live in Turkey, and would rather be independent. But, London and the west are doing everything they can to make sure that their wishes don't matter at all.
Desire of 3000 Brits in Falkland should be respected, of course, more then 12 000 000 Kurds.

Then Serb-spitter on duty goes with the comment - " Is this president related to Belgrade by any chance!?"

I would say relation to London is obvious.

Seems like a lot of nations laid claim to the Islas Malvinas. Apparently, the islands are another example of might is right. It still seems very strange to me that there would be a British territory for far from Britain, in a different hemisphere. But that is what colonizers did. They sailed around the world, and took.

The peoples wishes are more relevant than what one individual thinks. No government can survive without the wish of the people. Is this president related to Belgrade by any chance!?

Right, so if a group of people settles on my land and I am nice to them and do not expel them, after awhile they claim my land is theirs? No way. This is a territorial dispute and there are no squatters rights applicable.

"Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has said the inhabitants' wishes are not relevant in what is a territorial issue."

The wishes of the people who settled on this uninhabited island 200 years ago and have continuesly been living there ever since are the only once which matters, Christian Fernandez. Your crimes during the invasion are also not forgotton.
