Albania "not considering Greater Albania option"

@Virgil

I will begin be saying we know there are a few "Albanians" like yourself. That is a very small fraction in comparison with the rest of Albanian population. It is such a small number to a point where you're hardly ever heard. The core majority of real Albanians, whether it is in Albania, Kosova, Montenegro, Or Macedonia we all have the same Albanian belief. One Albanian ideology that unifies us all Albanians in Balkan region. It is an ideology that does put fear on most of our enemies around us. Look at Macedonia, how much longer will Macedonia really be run by Macedonians? Not too long trust me. A greater Albanian ideology does not mean to be bullies around Balkan region like Serbs. No sir, it will only provide stability and protection of our people and lands where Albanians may live. We could be a number in tens of millions and no one would have to worry about us bullying anyone that's just not us. However, we do retaliate to injustice done to us etc.

Greater Albania was imagination of Serbs. Serbs were talking about greater Albania while themselves were killing people in the name of greater Serbia.

when did the Albanians lose a war against Serbia.
never
Kosova was given by the great powers to 1878 the English and french ships bombt ulqin and tivar so Montenegrin could get in there.
they only corrected the injustice that was committed before.
even during the KLA war you were spared a humiliation.
your army was a total deflation.
Yes, you did kill women and children and unarmed people of all sort because throughout history that is what you do best.

I do hope you're right. I have said it on here before, I wish to use what money I have to help fund organizations that believe in a Greater Albania. It is this very cause that will be your downfall because there is no way NATO countries could justify intervening against 3-4 sovereign recognized UN countries for your sick aspirations to steal more land.

As far as your neighbors "fearing" your Greater Albania, no one is scared because everyone knows the West wont be there to serve as your airforce again. And what do we know about Albanian separatists? What is the ONE rule of thumb we can always bet on? When you don't have the strongest military alliance as your airforce, you lose conflicts.

Pre-NATO KLA led by Adem Jashiri-lost
Presevo-lost
FYR Macedonia-lost
Mitrovica 2011- lost.

When you don't have NATO, you lose. So please, please try it. And do get me the information of where I could help fund the most prominent "Greater Albania" political party.

Greater Albania is a stupid idea and as such, a total waste of time. Bigger borders does not mean better living standards. What Albanian people need is what every other person needs, education, health care, social security and a employment prospects. These things, you don't get by extending your borders.

He is right you know? Not just the political parties etc but many Albanians in Albania proper aren't fussed about Greater Albania, or unity with Kosovo. It's not practical and makes no sense on a lot of levels and I know fellow Albanians like myself know this. As do Serbs in parts of Serbia, Croats in Croatia, Greeks etc etc for their own Greater aspirations. Finally some differentiation is being made between Albanians from Albania and Albanians from FYROM, Kosovo and other places. There are MANY differences, believe me. And I swear this is not a Serb or someone else under a false figure pretending to be Albanian.

Well that's rather nice of Albania to not consider pursuing something that will never happen, no matter how many Albanians living outside Albania who claim to be more Albanian than those living *inside* the country wish, want, and will it to happen. Like Virgil's predictably ridiculous respondent.

Like that was ever an option which they refused? Highly doubtful, commeth thee the hour, the wolves will circle very quickly. They can't even dismantle the fantasy banana state of FYROM let alone create some greater country.

Albania no more wants to join with Kosovo than Serbia does with the RS. Furthermore, those running the smaller country/entity prefer to be the big fish in the small pond rather than the other way around. Even though both Serbia and Albania have problems with corruption and organised crime they are mere amateurs when compared with the RS and Kosovo. There is no reason why they would want to add to their already considerable problems by subsuming neighbouring areas, even if they are fellow Serbs/Albanians.

Good for you artan. Why let actual history depress you? Make sh!t up and feel happy and proud of accomplishments you're convinced actually happened. Enver Hoxha would be delighted to know people like you are still blissfully brainwashed. Your mutilated English makes your defiance even more enjoyable.

This "Greater Something" in the Balkans were imported or injected from the Great Powers. Greater Serbia or Greater Bulgaria were inspired by Holy Mother(f...) Russia just for it's interests. U.K. was OK with "Great Greece" or Megali Idea and so on.

And all these Greater This and Greater That ended up with hundreds of thousands dead from all ethnics and with much more hatred between them.
Where was Holy Mother Russia when NATO bombed Beograd? Or perhaps it was more convenient for Her abandoning Serbia in exchange of a profit somewhere else?

Perhaps we will learn not to be pawns in someone else's chess game.

And it's true. Greater Albania is just fantasy.

Every one in Balkans has same aspirations just look at Serbia wants RS, Croatia parts of Bosnia, Albanians their share I think there will be no peace in Balkans until this happens. So we will see in next 50 years what will ahppen but it has been the case since 1200's will be for next 1000 if the change do not happen.

So exchange in territory will be only solution for long lasting peace. Some Croats, some serbs, Albanians will be outside their borders but just small small minoraty otherwise we just cant live together.

The territories outside of modern day Albania like Kosovo was supposed to be in Albania. The great powers split us up. For now, though, we do not need conflict. Now is a time for reconciliation and working together.

Ned Taylor - you are speaking the truth !!!

Serbs / Albanians Politicians from RS/KS want to be in charge and in greater Serbia or Albania they will be just small fish as you put it.

Even North Kosovo 4 villagas if they went under serbia will be empty in a decade who can tell me from outside Serbia without looking who is mayor of Nis or some small municipality in south Serbia?

But you know all Serbian Mayors in Zubin Potok etc you see.

Greater Albania will come but last a wery wery short time !.

Arn.Sweden.

Dont worry for now. We lack the necessary radical parties.

Once it is made clear that kosovo cant enter the EU or a least get full membership, we will rejoin with albaina.
But then, there isnt a need for now, we can travel freely.

Some fascists here talk about nato.Well, you see, we did noteven need an army, all that happened is Serbia's failed people and goverment to make them fail.
In 1999,the KLA wasnt even an army. And you could not even kill a bunch of guys.

The republic kosovo would not be a reality had it not been for the failure of serbs politics and people.
So, invade again.

Maybe this time, we get nuclear weapons to defend ourselves or you get nuked.

“ It is an ideology that does put fear on most of our enemies around us.”

I LOVE THIS COMMENT ! Only I have some questions :

1/ What you mean by “most of our enemies” - is it 51% or 68% ? And what you are going to do with the remaining enemies that still dare not to fear you ?
2/ Could you detalize “around us” – does it mean that you conflict all your neighbors or there’s at least one whom you make friends ? If so please tell it name to give us more of a fun. Maybe you hope that the Croats love you then wait until Dodik finishes his job …

Just so some of the Serbian-Greeks know, what in the world makes you think that Albanians are going to ask you weather we should unite or not... now greater Albania as you call it does not exist its \'Ethnic Albania\' get that straight ... Albania has never ever ever fought a war to steal lands and control a population of millions like serbs and greeks have done and still doing.. no and for those of you that don\'t understand what im saying google Illyrian territories see what im talking about.. simple history not even going deep because if we do that we will find that Serbians don\'t belong in Europe.
SO YOU SERBS AND GREEKS WITH YOUR GREATER IDEAS... I don\'t blame you because you were brought up by taking lands from other countries its all about greater for you... Albanians don\'t need greater we will get what\'s ours that\'s a fact.
