FM: Schroeder's statement comes too late

Gerhard Schroeder's statement that NATO's 1999 attack on Serbia was a violation of international law "came too late."

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The developments in Crimea constitute a violation of international law, adding that the NATO attack on Serbia in 1999 was also a violation of the international law."

The west could attack and bully Serbia but they can't do the same to mother Russia. This conflict has shown how weak and incompetent America and the EU is. Besides they are to broke to even think about doing something about Russias involvment in the Ukraina. China and Russia are the main players today. I think Europe better start learning Russian because pretty soon we'll all be speaking it.

It was the right thing to do. What serbia did was against the law, not just in Kosovo but every country they set foot in. VIVA LA VEST.
(LOL, 11 March 2014 10:03)

What Serbia does in its own country is Serbias business.

Now "LOL" I don't recall Serbia doing anything illegal. What planet you been living on? Seems like you may have been overwhelmed by propaganda. The truth is slowly surfacing my friend!!!!

"This conflict has shown how weak and incompetent America and the EU is."

No, this conflict shows that Russia doesn't care for international law, territorial integrity and sovereignty of independent states. And unlike in Kosovo, saying that the invasion of Russian soldiers was done to 'protect' the Russian minority is nonsense, because not a single Russian person was threatened, killed or expelled on Crimea - unlike the 1000s people killed and 100.000s expelled in Kosovo by Serbian troops and paramilitary.

Well, and if Putin should accept break-off Crimea joining Russia, he better keep their mouth shut in the future when it comes to Kosovo and its break-off from Serbia.

LOL,Serbia did what any country whould have done if threatened by separatist terrorists. Bad things happen to civilians when they fight alongside the terrorists. If Serbia truly what all the citizens of albanian decent gone, the total dead would have been alot greater than 10000 total on both sides. The truth is starting to get out from higher levels of governments.

This time the stakes are very high. I am very worried about the tug of war. Both sides are almost cornered to feel Zugzwang. We have never been as close to war as it is today. Hope it will a cold one. The west will not refuse from hegemony that easy. US already set free it’s Polish watchdog. Tusk and Sykorski became same crazy Russophobes as Kachinski and most of the Poles. The masks are off and so the are forming the crusaders for their new DRANG NACH OSTEN. So this time it will be a long fight and I am afraid a severe one. They need weak Russia as the only bone in the US throat. If they chose Sykorsky as a Commissar it will be a very bad sign.

It was the right thing to do. What serbia did was against the law, not just in Kosovo but every country they set foot in. VIVA LA VEST.

The statement did not come to late, it came right on time when he got paid for it.

Now "LOL" I don't recall Serbia doing anything illegal. What planet you been living on? Seems like you may have been overwhelmed by propaganda. The truth is slowly surfacing my friend!!!!

Most murderers in prison feel they were right, and do not feel remorse. Most rapists feel that the women somehow deserved it. Even child abusers feel they have that right and it is not wrong, most pedophiles do not see their actions as wrong they are expressing love for their victims. Need I go on.
You have taken Schroders statements and twisted it for your own benefit, no where did he say that the intervention was not justified only that it was not sanctioned by the UNSC.

schroeder is a 2 bit hack and employ of stalin, i mean putin, enough said.

the fact that serbia still cannot take responsibility for its evil past is a great threat to peace and progress in the region, and very bad karma... fascism has a heavy price, ppl...

roberto frisco

Mrkić underlined that Serbia "has always been in favor of a strict adherence to the international law in all circumstances regardless of the country in question be it a small, medium or large one."

Yes? Then, why didn't I read a single statement from this guy or, even better, the Serbian PM, condemning Russia grossly violating international law and interfering with the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine?

Or is Russia and the Ukraine neither small, medium or a large one? :LOL

What Serbia does in its own country is Serbias business.

It doesn't work like that buddy. Hitler killed a lot of Jews in Germany, but just because he killed them in Germany and not in Belgium; it doesn't make it legal, alright, or acceptable. Just like it is not OK for someone to abuse their family as long as it is within their own house. The walls of your house do not give you immunity to abuse others. The same way your house can no longer protect you if you abuse your family, the same way could Serbia's borders not protect her from killing and ethnically cleansing thousands of Albanians in Kosova. There is a point when your neighbors can no longer soothe their consciences and remain silent for the abuse they see and they will gang up on you and stop the abuse. You can lock the door all you want. It is no longer about respecting your privacy. It is all about stopping the abuse and making sure your children are taken away from you. Any decent human being is able to see that others will not be concerned about your house being yours if they see you abuse your children. It's all about safeguarding the children from that point; it's not about your house anymore, even if it means getting in by kicking the door or breaking the windows. It is this simple.

The 100.000 something expelled from Kosovo, did that happen before the Nato bombing of Serbia or during? Kosovo should become independent because of this even though everyone knows the expulsion came after Nato bombs started to fall.. America and Europe has a tendency to twist things to fit their own agenda. Only blaming one side for all the evils even though all sides in the balkan war are to blame. Perhaps some are more to blame then others but all sides should be blamed. However, bombing a sovereign nation must be justified somehow. In this case through lies. When someone else does something the west would do in another part of the world its suddenly wrong. The west will get what it deserves. The West is anything but democratic and just and I pray they will get it where it hurts the most.

"The 100.000 something expelled from Kosovo, did that happen before the Nato bombing of Serbia or during? Kosovo should become independent because of this even though everyone knows the expulsion came after Nato bombs started to fall.."

@MikeC- Who is everyone? You and the Serbs that did not agree with NATO's actions? I assume I am part of those you call everyone and I don't think the expulsion came after NATO. It was part of the policy from the start. Read Seselj's papers. This has been a policy since the 30's starting with Cubrilovic. Do we not count in what you call everyone? Is this another Albanian expulsion from your group?

Even if we assume it came after NATO; so what? Does that mean that it was OK for Serbia to expel people because of NATO's actions?

If you are claiming that NATO caused hundred's of thousands of people to leave, then how come it was only the Albanians? Did NATO develop a secret technology that segregated people based on nationality even though they lived in the same apartment building in the center of Prishtina, or are Serbs immune to bombs and therefore do not fear them when they fall from the sky?

Your argument does not pass the test of logic. No matter when the expulsion of the Albanians began, the fact that only Albanians were expelled and hundreds of Albanians are buried in mass graves inside Serbia shows that such heinious crimes and their cover up were the policy of the Serbian government.

MikeC,
"The 100.000 something expelled from Kosovo, did that happen before the Nato bombing of Serbia or during? Kosovo should become independent because of this even though everyone knows the expulsion came after Nato bombs started to fall.."
The 100,000 came before the bombs once the invasion started and Milosevic knew he was on short time line the expulsions hit somewhere between 800,000 to 1,000,000. Did the bombing campaign cause this? If a person is holding a room full of hostages and as the police move in he kills them all, is the police responsible or is he?
Whether it was after the bombing started or not it still remains it was Milosevic's goal to rid Kosovo of Albanians one way or the other.

What else do you expect from a Stasi sympathiser who went to bed with Russia over its oil and adapted a Russian child just to show what a dog he really is?

(MikeC, 11 March 2014 10:49)
You are becoming quite a hoot, you criticize the US and Europe for their military actions, then you call them weak because they do not rush into Ukraine!!
The best one though is where you accuse the west of twisting things to fit their agenda.
Have you posted anything that you have not twisted the facts to fit your agenda? I think not.

Kosovo should become independent because of this even though everyone knows the expulsion came after Nato bombs started to fall...
(MikeC, 11 March 2014 20:03)

Ok, the expulsion also came after I had dinner on 23 March 1999... I hope you are not saying that me having dinner that night caused the expulsion! Correlation and causation are not the same thing...

It was the right thing to do. What serbia did was against the law, not just in Kosovo but every country they set foot in. VIVA LA VEST.
