Ivan,
Your comments are always creative. I really like it when the members of a surrendering force call the opposition cowards!
When the "cowards" arrived your brothers ran back across the border or 'withdrew'.

He has acted with the utmost decorum honor and dignity. He would not betray the Serbs of Kosovo, and that was more important to him then his lively hood. He is an example to us all

Grobar1: "Alexandar Vulin you are a great man a man with morals who didn't betray his brothers in Kosovo....."

Let me get this straight. Vulin was a member of Serbia's negotiating team all along. He was there and had knowledge of every detail of the deal.
The deal was agreed by Serbian team on Friday. So he betrayed his brothers from Friday until Wednesday and how he is all of a sudden a hero?

Well if you say so then it must be right for you are the wise all knowing OZ.

He is not resigning because he is not happy with the agreement, but rather his post is not wanted anymore.Anyway, he was holding a phantom post.
Good riddance.

Agree with you. It's funny how many here think he resigned because he's against the agreement. If he was against the agreement how come he didn't resign before the agreement was signed? His job is done, Serbia doesn't need Kosovo Office anymore. Thaci will cover it.

Really? I saw this news story and instantly saw that he is doing this to raise his own popularity and political profile to benifit his own political career. "Decency" doesn't come into it. This move is entirely self serving for him.

He is doing this

1) The position is going away per the agreement, so you might as well resign and save a little face.

2) It will advance his political ambitions by making it appear that he doesn't agree with the current government.

3) There are some angry Serbian's out there that will have no problem giving him batine if they cross paths with him. He is just saving his own skin by hoping it appears that its not his fault.

Pathetic pathetic state of affairs in Serbia. Come to Kosova for vacation. Live a little:)

Awww just look at his picture. Someone get the man a tissue so he can wipe his tears away! LOL

I knew the guy was a loser and a failure from the start. You know why? Because he said that Serbia wouldn't give up Kosova! We all see how that turned out.

This was the best way to get rid of the ministry fo Kosovo alltogether. He will not be replaced because there is/was no need for having a ministry for Kosovo. Having a ministry for a foreign country (in this case Kosovo) violates the agreement. This ministry will be silenced quietly, so Vulin's resignation is the first step in that direction. It remains to be seen whether he has a place in representing Serbs in the Kosovo institutions, that is whether he decides to run in the upcoming elections in the northern municipalities and whether he has the backing of the people.

They say politics is Hollywood for ugly people. All I am seeing now is simple theatrics. The scripts were written a long time ago and we are just seeing our politicians (or shall we say actors) going through the motions.

It is a great shame that it has ended up like this. It simply has no legitimacy so when the guard changes, so will the reality.

No Ian, that's decency. A rare quality in a politician and obviously you because you can't recognize it when you see it.

I'll bet, he also endorsed the Signing of the agreement! Except, after Dacic & Vucic started receiving death threats, this A. Vulin dude, realized that he might actually be the one that gets it behind the ear! He does spend the most time in northern Kosova, amonst the Serbs of Kosova, where he would make for the easiest target! He defiantly has some brains, when it comes to watching out for his own behind! Farewell, Vulin!

If what he says is true, a very noble gesture by a man with pride and honor, and a person that sticks to his convictions. Now, please get out of Serbian politics forever. You should have left at the same time as your mentor, Mirjana Markovic, Mrs. Sloba, and went into exile with her. One more down, and countless to go.

pre 11 godina

Somebody had to be installed as a buffer that will suffer greater impact or weight, in this case that was Vulin. The tensions will in some way will go with him and that's good, so that was right move. Also, do not be mislead with actions of the Serbs in the north of KiM who disagree with this solution. We must complain to this and that kind of attitude must be shown to albanians,we must play hard and show that we're not satisfied. What would happen if the Serbs on KiM just come to accept the agreement? Well within the albanians would immediately began to build a plan to go further. Therefore, we must react like this and it's the only right thing. Do not fry that they are against the government or Serbia ... just such a position must be held for the greater good. So do not make a mess, treacherous spread gossip and such, be wise and quietly play your micro act ...

After the agreement and abolition of the parallel structures his position has anyway become redundant. Looks like he just resigned before getting fired. Tough luck,..

Byebye!

It was clear from the very beginning that those traitors will sell out Kosovo for to get a date from the sinking EU club.
If Vulin understands that only NOW, he really isn't a very quick thinker :(
REFERENDUM NOW!!!

He has not resigned. He's been made redundant. First step of the agreement showing it started to be implemented. Cashier number two please. Who's next please?...

Well, the world never ceases to surprise. A politician who honours what he says. You don't have to necessarily agree with him but you have to respect him for his stance.
