"Can you tell us who came out as loser for the ICJ ruling? Who took the case to ICJ?"
(EA, 24 March 2013 11:56)

1. Loser? Winner? Simple: Nobody: Nothing was won or lost with this ruling, because it doesn't mean anything. But both parties (especially the Albanians, as you could read below) tried to (mis-)interpret some unintended meaning into this (non-)ruling. Well, I guess most of them didn't read or understand the ruling at all, but they fell for propaganda of Pristina media and politicians.

2. Who took the case to the ICJ? Serbia!

And furthermore: It was all well intended not to ask the ICJ about the legality of the state of Kosovo, because the ICJ would have refused to give an opinion about a 'legality' of a state.

The Kosova 'Morons' are out in full force, commenting here in their unique moronic style. Serbia would be insane to recognize a screwed up phony state, which only happened because USA-NATO needed yet another military base (Camp Bondsteel). And, of course, in 1999 NATO was at loose ends so had to reinvent itself. So, don't call Vojislav Kostunica a moron. It is more and more evident who the morons are, and looks like the nod goes to the 'people of Kosova', who now have their ethnically cleansed Kosova, hanging onto it with the help of USA. How about giving the initial 'moron' honors to USA's Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mad. Albright, and to UK sidekick Tony Blair, who orchestrated the moronic, very illegal bombing of a WWII ally.

"What a moron. The World Court (ICJ)- the highest court on planet earth ruled that Kosovo's independence is legal. That ruling LEGALIZED our right as a independent and sovereign country. "
(KOSO, 23 March 2013 20:07)

The question is who's the moron and clown: The ICJ ruled that Kosovo's DECLARATION of independence (like any other 'UDI') didn't violate any international law, simply because there is no law about that.

In the case of Kosovo, it especially didn't violate the (still valid) UN resolution 1244, because the declaration of independence was made by some 'people of Kosovo' and not by Kosovo officials who would have violated UN1244.

Furthermore, the judges explicitly mentioned that this has NO implication on the statehood of Kosovo.

So, for you and all others:

1. Legality of UDI -> yes, every group of people can declare themselves independent, it doesn't violate any law.

2. Legality of the independent state of Kosovo -> not covered by the ruling.

Please check the dictionary for the meanings of "non-binding" and "opinion" and compare them with the meaning of the word "ruling".

That ICJ did NOT RULE that "Kosovo's independence is legal" as you claimed. It gave a NON-BINDING OPINION about Kosovo's DECLARATION of independence, not whether Kosovo is actually independent and entitled to statehood or not. So the Eskimos in Alaska can probably also get away with their own declaration of independence from Yankee Land as far as the ICJ is concerned!

So, the next time you wanna dismiss someone as "moron" and "clown", make sure your own facts are in order. Otherwise you end up looking mighty foolish -- like now -- the classic case of the pot calling the kettle black!

"Patient is of virtue"

-Patience is indeed a virtue, but Serbs are not known for this. You are known for "inat" and that is definitely not a virtue.

I think we Albanians would gain more by what Kostunica is saying. Serbs don't engage in dialogue. This means we don't have to give in to any demands by EU to make the Serb side happy. It also means Serbs won't do much other than complain. In the meantime we can work on more recognitions and making new alliances by any means. The biggest Serb "patriots" have actually had ideas that have brought much more progress to the Albanian cause than "traitors" like Tadic. Your "patriots" tend to not be educated with the way the real world functions and how in the real world rules can be bent to one's advantage. Your "patriots" are not street smart and they seem to not understand that actually personal relationships can gain you a whole lot. Instead you have these bookworms like Kostunica who believe some magic untouchable heavenly rule guarantees him/Serbia the right to rule over Kosova. The real world doesn't function like that dude. The last 15 years should have been enough for you to figure that out. Its all about who you friends are, its not about some magic rule. Its always been about that. We had no friends and with the Russia's help you got Kosova and Vojvodina. Now we have someone who supports our interests and Russia is not enough for you to make a difference. Its all about this. It has never been about heavenly unchangable rules

Funny how the trolls react everytime Kostunica says a word? He's the only one stating the obvious, which in turn is the truth, which in turn is something the albos start freaking out over. If what Kostinica says is not factual, then why do you turds start freaking out? Just let it go. I personaly admire the guy, next to the Radicals, he's second best.

We can all appreciate your stance as an Albanian/Kosovan patriot (as is your right), but you have shown yourself to be a bigot and nationalist. Which doesn't help anything but create greater animosity. The only reason the West is actively pursuing independence, is to merely finish what they started and diminish Serbia by cutting off their natural resources.
(Radovan, 23 March 2013 17:32)

What natural resources? You Serbs until now, have stated their Is no large amounts of natural resources in Kosova! Looks like Serbian motives, have only been about greed! The Serbs don't care about Kosovas historical value, that was all a bunch of crap, they've always wanted Kosova for its material wealth only! Too bad Serbia, whatever the value of Kosova's wealth is, be it in the zillions or be it "0" zilch, whatever wealth is to be found within Kosova, it will all belong to Kosova's people! The majority Albanians, with their sweat & blood have paid for Kosova, many times over, and it has been "PAID IN FULL"!!!

Albanians in particular do not like Kostunica because he says what everyone knows is true. It is the goal of the EU powers to make Kosovo an independent Country, everyone knows that and people pretend it isn't true and that the EU is status neutral. Yet when Kostunica says it, it makes him a dangerous nationalist because Serbia's enemies do not want to be interrupted or contradicted when they tell Serbs that the EU is status neutral.

Protection of sovereignty in your constitution isn't sudden, it is the right of every state. Heck even Kosovo, which is a pretend state, claims the right to protect its sovereignty but when Kostunica wants to protect Serbia's sovereignty people like EA want to know how he plans to do it. Kostunica set out how: through every legal means in not waiving Serbia's international rights to Kosovo. These rights are apparent, if Serbia did not have them, no one would be pressuring Serbia to give them up. All Serbia has to do is say no and pay the consequences (threats and intimidation from the west that will never amount to anything more than further threats and intimidation). In the meantime Serbia's position will be stronger

Re: "The problem in Koshtunica is that he is a blind nationalist and NEVER says how he would re-establish territorial integrity and sovereignity over Kosovo. Never!"

I believe you are confused. Kostunica has clearly stated on numerous occasions that Serbia should FREEZE the Kosovo conflict until it is in a position of power or at least NOT in a position of weakness such as now. Whats the rush? I don't see anyone rushing to solve the Palestine issue? or the Cyprus issue? You're acting like its the end of the world if Serbia doesn't give up its southern province. You think Serbs are dumb enough to fight against the largest military in the world ALL by itself? Get real. You may be stupid, but we aren't. Patient is of virtue

@EA

Kostunica is a patriot, not a nationalist. There is a big difference that seems to be overlooked. Albanian's can live in a multi-ethnic Serbia and be patriots themselves, with no problems. In Kosovo, they become nationalists, and end up committing atrocities (burning churches, desecrating graves, destroying non-Albanian homes,usurping land, basically...cultural and ethnic genocide).

Kostunica was not a hero as PM defending the Serbian interests-the opposite. OK he was never aa politician, a bookworm from the university believing in the religion of higher justice given by courts. His words are never showing any real content. All remember hm sitting in Nikolics cabinet and being so happy with the understanding about the "platform".

How about giving the initial 'moron' honors to USA's Bill and Hillary Clinton, Mad. Albright, and to UK sidekick Tony Blair, who orchestrated the moronic, very illegal bombing of a WWII ally.

"Patient is of virtue"

-Patience is indeed a virtue, but Serbs are not known for this. You are known for "inat" and that is definitely not a virtue.

I think we Albanians would gain more by what Kostunica is saying. Serbs don't engage in dialogue. This means we don't have to give in to any demands by EU to make the Serb side happy. It also means Serbs won't do much other than complain. In the meantime we can work on more recognitions and making new alliances by any means. The biggest Serb "patriots" have actually had ideas that have brought much more progress to the Albanian cause than "traitors" like Tadic. Your "patriots" tend to not be educated with the way the real world functions and how in the real world rules can be bent to one's advantage. Your "patriots" are not street smart and they seem to not understand that actually personal relationships can gain you a whole lot. Instead you have these bookworms like Kostunica who believe some magic untouchable heavenly rule guarantees him/Serbia the right to rule over Kosova. The real world doesn't function like that dude. The last 15 years should have been enough for you to figure that out. Its all about who you friends are, its not about some magic rule. Its always been about that. We had no friends and with the Russia's help you got Kosova and Vojvodina. Now we have someone who supports our interests and Russia is not enough for you to make a difference. Its all about this. It has never been about heavenly unchangable rules

"Can you tell us who came out as loser for the ICJ ruling? Who took the case to ICJ?"
(EA, 24 March 2013 11:56)

1. Loser? Winner? Simple: Nobody: Nothing was won or lost with this ruling, because it doesn't mean anything. But both parties (especially the Albanians, as you could read below) tried to (mis-)interpret some unintended meaning into this (non-)ruling. Well, I guess most of them didn't read or understand the ruling at all, but they fell for propaganda of Pristina media and politicians.

2. Who took the case to the ICJ? Serbia!

And furthermore: It was all well intended not to ask the ICJ about the legality of the state of Kosovo, because the ICJ would have refused to give an opinion about a 'legality' of a state.

"What a moron. The World Court (ICJ)- the highest court on planet earth ruled that Kosovo's independence is legal. That ruling LEGALIZED our right as a independent and sovereign country. What you think has no bearing hence why diplomatic relationships with sovereign countries is increasing each day regardless of your "principled stance".

Prime time clownmanship ladies and gentlemen.

Please check the dictionary for the meanings of "non-binding" and "opinion" and compare them with the meaning of the word "ruling".

That ICJ did NOT RULE that "Kosovo's independence is legal" as you claimed. It gave a NON-BINDING OPINION about Kosovo's DECLARATION of independence, not whether Kosovo is actually independent and entitled to statehood or not. So the Eskimos in Alaska can probably also get away with their own declaration of independence from Yankee Land as far as the ICJ is concerned!

So, the next time you wanna dismiss someone as "moron" and "clown", make sure your own facts are in order. Otherwise you end up looking mighty foolish -- like now -- the classic case of the pot calling the kettle black!
