The citizens of the EU dont support Albanians. We don't want Islamic countries in the EU. We are not willing to be taxed to support the economy of an Islamic country and we definitely take seriously the reports of Europol (Police of the EU), according to which Albania has by far the highest crime rate in Europe. By importing Albanian immigrants we import crime. I'm not from Serbia neither any of my family members. Go to any European forum and ask Europeans (whose countries are member-states of the EU) if they support Albanians. There you will find the answer your looking for. Apart from that, many European (and even Canadian) scholars, journals etc published articles/books/documentaries about the war crimes conducted by Muslims and Americans in Yugoslavia. Examples are "Sorry, Serbia" (Norwegian), The weight of chains (Canadian production), Justice for Yugoslavia (UK), Srebrenicha - A city betrayed (Norwegian Production), all the related work of Peter Handte (Austrian) who was recently awarded with the Ibsen Literary Award and many others which I read/watched in the past but I don't remember the titles right now, sorry. But you can google. We don't live in 1999 anymore, the media propaganda against Serbia is over. Next stop: Albania. Albanians were naïve enough to ask for EU candidacy. So now the EU Press is all over Albania and the more they search, the more we get convinced that our governments made a terrible mistake in 1999.

I don't think you get it Albo, loving Serbs has nothing to do with nationalism in Greece. In fact, there are some nationalists in Greece who like Albanians and this is why their electoral power is low, because Greeks support Serbs, not Albos.

So all these people here who were saying that you are an Albanian pretending to be Serb were right. I guess you don't need Serbs to shame you. You don't need Serbs to humiliate you. You do that all by yourselves. But then again, you've been doing that in your entire history, so no surprise here.

By we I am certain you mean you and other Serbs whether they live in Serbia or abandoned the homeland for a better life. Others still know the truth and while there are a few publications that employ Serb writers that give opinion pieces the general view in the industrialized world is still that it is primarily Serbia that is guilty of war crimes during the Balkan wars.

(a New Day, 19 December 2014 18:42)

Says who? The USA propaganda? This is not 1999 anymore. Europeans have started to learn about what happened in 1999 and about USA's "benefits" from Yugoslavia's dissolution. You have better chances convincing an Asian or an African (especially a Muslim African) about the "war crimes" conducted by Serbia. These days we focus on the war crimes conducted by USA and Muslims against Serbia. The EU is divided by nations, but it's united by race and religion. Multiculturalism may fly in the US, but it does no longer fly in the EU. The rest you see are just politics of our governments against Putin, the Gasfather.

@ LOL

You don't even put an effort to pretend successfully that you are Greek. But it's quite offensive for me as a Greek to see Albanians pretending to be Greeks or of Greek origins. If you had Greek origins you would know that her nick name is a girly one. I guess when it comes to Greek names and nick names your knowledge is zero. If you (or your brother(s), father etc) spent 12 months in the Greek Army you would know that Albanian nationals with Greek citizenship or Greek Muslims of Turkish origins don't have exactly the time of their lives there, since the Army makes absolutely clear that Cyprus and Serbia are the countries we care about and Turkey and Albania are the countries we are willing to fight. And FYI, not only nationalists in Greece are Orthodox. Not only nationalists in Greece serve in the Army. Not only nationalists in Greece sent money, food, clothes, medication to Serbia during the Yugoslav war. It was not the Greek nationalists who went to Serbia for humanitarian aid, I participated myself in 1999 and my vote is far away from the nationalistic party in Greece. All Greeks supported and support Serbia. And definitely not only nationalists in Greece wish that all Albanians like yourself leave Greece permanently and migrate somewhere else. About the "Greek-Albanian brotherhood" you mention, go to Athens, pick a crowded street and shout about this "brotherhood". In less than 2 minutes you will have your answer.

LOL, one of the billion reasons I'm not a GD supporter (or a nationalists in general) is that GD supports Albanians. About your Greek roots, this means nothing to me with respect to your reliability and your "knowledge" about Greece. Were you born and raised in Greece? Do you speak Greek? Are your parents and grandparents Greeks? Have you served in the Greek Army? Do you have Albanian neighbors with Greek citizenship? Because I have some. Did you attend a Greek school? because if you have, you'd know how Greeks feel about Serbs. Were you in Greece in 1991-1999 to see ALL Greeks including leftists and communists helping Serbs? If yes, you'd know that nationalism has nothing to do with the Greek-Serbian friendship. Did your parents talk to you about our brothers, Serbs, when you were 5? Because this is what Greek families do and my family is not even a right-wing. You don't have Greek roots, you have Albanian roots. If you were a real Greek you wouldn't say "thank God I'm not Turk or Slav", you'd say thank God I'm not Turk or ALBANIAN. Sooo you are Albanian. And for your information, have no illusions: No one likes Albanians in Greece. Not the leftists, not the communists not the liberals. It's just that some people tolerate you and some people don't.

"They'd learn to love Greece and Serbia"

As someone who has Greek roots, I can surely confirm that is a lie. Not sure where Mina is getting these informations from.

Perhaps if she or he is a Golden Dawnist, shed know that GD in 1980s was on a rampage of the Greek-Albanian Brotherhood.

Likewise, no one really can be a citizen of Greece nowadays unless you were born from a Greek parent and not much bother to try to become one anyways.

Greeks only like Serbia for 2 main things, to get back at their neighbours and religious affiliations. That's the summary. If some ultra nationalist Greeks had their way Albanians, who are closely linked to Greeks in so many aspects that neither an Albanian, Greek or Serb who are Slav can deny, would be in a Hellenic Republic and vice versa for the Albanian nationalists.

Anyways, why are some people so off topic here? I am just thankful I am not a Slav nor a Turk...

As for NATO. Serbia doesn't hold NATO values [take this as you please, good or bad]. It shouldn't be apart of EU either.

New Chronology explains things much better. They prove that during for 300 years in 13-16 centuries Europe was a colony of the Horde. It was reflected in history as Migration Period or the period of the barbarian invasions of the 4-6 centuries. In 17-18 centuries this part of the history was rewritten by Scaliger/Petavius& Co.

Also they say that twice during the epidermis in 14 and in 15 centuries greater part of the Europeans especially in the south were eliminated by to save the Horde (Roman) Empire. Later all the lands were inhabited by the Horde people. Horde was a Slav Empire with capitol in Novgorod Veliki but it was multinational.

So most likely both pro-Serbs and pro-Albanians came together from the east. Besides the 1389 battle of Kosovo had nothing to do with Turkey that simply did not existed yet. It was called Blue Horde and obeyed the Golden Horde. Russians reflected in the European history under other names and Constantin the Great you mentioned was Dmitri Donskoy.

http://chronologia.org/xpon7/x7_13_01.html

Horde colonized the whole world so Donskoy had no chance to bring all his troops to the fatal Kulikovo battle. “было у него многое множество и других (войск) , да воевали они далеко, ПОКОРЯЛИ СТРАНЫ В РАЗНЫХ ЧАСТЯХ СВЕТА, и не мог он созвать их вовремя в нужное место...”

http://chronologia.org/reconstr3/5_01.html

Same problems could be in Kosovo Polije when two parts of the same Horde fought each other.

Yes Illyrians were people that lived before the Albanians arrived in the region just as Thracians were people that lived in that part of Serbia before the Serbs arrived. However, this does not make the Thracians Serbs just as Constantine the Great was not a Serb despite being born in Nis.
All this you claim is not evidence at all. Especially the display about languages. Dr Quentin Atkinson group claims it all started in Turkey then you have Dr David Anthony who said he found Dr Atkinson’s language tree of Indo-European implausible in several details. They are only theories not fact.
The Illyrians had no written language so how can you compare Albanian and Illyrian languages to conclude they are the same people????
You claim that Albanians have been there for thousands of years and yet there is nothing in Kosovo. Roman ruins exist, Turks built things and so did the Serbs, but not even a foot bridge that can be claimed as Albanian and to top it off you have Albanians now claiming that Serb Churches and monasteries were built by Albanians and the Serbs stole them.

Sj and Ida, if it is concluded and facted that Albanians were here in Albania and Kosovo before Serbs, it means that Albanian did not steal anything from you, but you stole their land. As you are saying that Germans and Austrians started to study the existence of the Albanian culture and heritage. Lets take out all these people, why British, American, Armenian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Egyptian, Israeli and Arab scientists say that Illyrians are predecessors of Albanians. I mean, come on, these people are not crazy. Do you know that actually there is a scientist in Greece, who gave all his life to study Albanian and Illyrian Heritage. Do you know what happened? Actually he found many evidences about the Illyrian and Albanian heritage. And as he was saying, he found out that Armenian and Albanian language are the FIRST indo-european language in this earth. He found out that if Albanians would not assimilate, they would have their own letters, not Latin letters. There are many evidences my friends, but if you do not want to read about those, it is your problem. But it is not fair, to claim something which is non-existent.
Again as I am saying there is a video which tells BY FACTS the language heritage made by businessinsider and you can watch it if you like.

The Evidance of Illrian existence on ballkan peninsula would be the Albanian people, not infrastructure/documents.

They had no system of writing to pass down their language on hard copies.

Albanian alphabet developed very late compared to the rest of their neighbours in the Balkan.

Therefore in history, Albanians and Illyrians are mentioned in foreign documentation.

First off, "Kosovo" is a Serbian word - and Serbs are the ones first connected with it. In the history of the Byzantine Empire there are mentions of Serbs in Pristina and Prizren in the 11th century: Serbian royalty, rulers, soldiers, etc.

As for the Albanian from Zadar: it is know that Venice brought Albanians into the Dalmatia and coastal area to fight the Uskoks. The Uskoks were refugees who were forced to be pirates since they had been driven from their lands into the rocky coastal areas. The Uskoks were ingenious at building special ships which they used to pirate the Venice and other ships.

So Albanians were brought to fight them. And the Uskoks seem to be mainly Serb or Croat origins.

The fact is that most all the toponyms in Kosovo are Serbian or "Slavic" and there are also many of these in northern Albania.

As for the claim that Albanians were Illyrians - that was only started by the Austrians and Germans AFTER the Austrians had long referred to Serbs as Illyrians.

And in any event, the Illyrians seemed to have been cleansed or enslaved by the Romans. There is no real history of a huge migrations of Slavs coming in and killing the inhabitants.

When Serbs were first mentioned in the areas, they were already settled in villages: they were already in large numbers.
Serbs would be the same people who were living there, but under different names.

Why do you think Greeks support Albania's EU candidacy? If it was up to us, they would be a member-state already. The best way for us to stop having Albanian immigrants here whining for Greek citizenship is by helping them join the EU. Not that all of them have any luck getting the citizenship, but some of them do. Though for us it's quite amusing to see male Albanians getting the citizenship. See, as "Greeks" they have to serve the Greek Army for 1 year, where they learn among other things that there are only two countries they have to love, one is Greece and one is Serbia.

You need archaeological evidence. Everything else is an opinion. All the text you quote is someone’s academic work based on previous work and then a conclusion is drawn, they are only theories and you need hard evidence. You can’t draw conclusions on Albanians today and Illyrians of 5000 years ago because the Illyrians did not have a written language.

If you are saying that it comes from Middle East or Antarctica or Mongolia or Samoa or whatever where, you need to prove how can a language such as Albanian be like this.

I said that there is no evidence that Illyrians and Albanians are the same people. Yes there were a people called Illyrians but they did not transform into Albanians. Albanians arrived with the Turks.
Had you said that over time after arrival in the Balkans the Albanians intermarried with Thracians or Illyrians I would agree. However, there is no archaeological site that shows a that Albanians are descendents of Illyrians. I think you need to lay off the hooch because the Illyrians left no written records and we don’t know anything about their spoken language. That’s why they are a mystery. The attachment deals more with Serb history than Albanian plus it’s not really proof.
What about Russia and Serbia? The debt business had more to do with Russia and Europe than Russia and Serbia. The Russians have given plenty to Serbia in aid and loans, but what has the west given the Albanians in Kosovo?

There is no evidence of a connection to Albanians Illyrians except the ones in your head. The Romans, Turks and Serbs have left bridges, churches, houses, buildings in Kosovo, but Albanians do not have a cave painting and that’s after thousands of years of so called occupation.
Now that you have 89% internet usage in Kosova then why are you and your kind using a Serb-based media site to make comment. Surely there is one based in Pristina? Next thing I expect you to mention that the economy in Kosova is larger than in Serbia, but the thing that fails in this argument is the “official” level of unemployment of 45%.
Here is my question. Since the west loves you so much how many factories/industry have relocated to Kosova??????????? How many?
Kosovo cannot be united with Albania because the EU will NEVER allow the formation of a large Muslim country in Europe. Try it and they will destroy the lot of you.
The $200 million business had nothing to do with Serbia at all but it was politics on a larger scale. Serbia has and always will get gas from Russia.
Yes its called depleted uranium and they used it extensively in Kosovo in 1999. Now how much has been removed?????

It existed before you were born as population or before you have been called Serbs. There are even scientific research made by SERBS who ratify this information. I can understand you, but anyway. About the thing that you are talking about, SJ, the computer thing I mean, Kosovo has 89 % internet usage, which means that Internet is spread in every single place in Kosovo, compared to Serbia which has 51.5 % internet usage. It tell a lot, still I am afraid that you are watching cartoons instead of reality. And to finish this debate, Kosovo is an independent country, it wont be united with Albania and any other country. Albanians and Kosovo Albanians, have their allies, thanks to them, I dont want to be in the position one day, our allies to block our gas, or to block anything which would harm our lives, as Russia did to Serbs, for 200 million debt for gas. Actually, if there is a brotherhood, this would not happen. I can understand you all. About the uranium, probably you haven't been to Kosovo, and I am happy that you haven't been here.

Well, it's more like "sometimes" instead of "always". When on June 10, 1999 Serbia pleaded Mr. Lavrov not to raise his hand for approving UNSCR 1244, Mr. Lavrov ignored Serbia's pleadings. Not to mention the reduction of the gas supply in the middle of the winter just a few weeks ago over a dispute for a $200 million bill (peanuts for Russia). That's really the face of a "friendly" country... Russians must be laughing at Serbs who call them "brothers" even after Russia repeatedly spits on Serbia's face.

O.K. enough is enough. I have to admit I am a frustrated Albanian who lives in Albania, the country of horror and crime. I hate the fact that Albanians in Kosovo introduce themselves as Kosovars and not as Albanians. It was not supposed to be like that, USA promised us that Kosova would become ours. We hate Serbs because after 5 centuries of Islamic occupation they still managed to maintain their religion. In Albania we have Muslims, Catholics and Orthodox because every time a country invaded and occupied us, a big part of our population converted, because we were big cowards and afraid of our invader's anger. I hate it that Putin supports Serbia so much, I hate it. I know that USA used us to build NATO Bases in the Balkans and now that Americans got what they wanted, they don't care anymore. We have no real allies, no one calls us brothers like Russians call Serbs, not even Turkish like us because half of us are not Muslims. I know that we stole Kosova from Serbs but Serbs are so dumb that they might actually let us get away with that. I pray every day to Allah that a bear in Siberia will attack and eat Putin. It's pathetic, I know, but it's our only hope to get Kosova.

There is no evidence of a connection to Albanians Illyrians except the ones in your head. The Romans, Turks and Serbs have left bridges, churches, houses, buildings in Kosovo, but Albanians do not have a cave painting and that’s after thousands of years of so called occupation.
Now that you have 89% internet usage in Kosova then why are you and your kind using a Serb-based media site to make comment. Surely there is one based in Pristina? Next thing I expect you to mention that the economy in Kosova is larger than in Serbia, but the thing that fails in this argument is the “official” level of unemployment of 45%.
Here is my question. Since the west loves you so much how many factories/industry have relocated to Kosova??????????? How many?
Kosovo cannot be united with Albania because the EU will NEVER allow the formation of a large Muslim country in Europe. Try it and they will destroy the lot of you.
The $200 million business had nothing to do with Serbia at all but it was politics on a larger scale. Serbia has and always will get gas from Russia.
Yes its called depleted uranium and they used it extensively in Kosovo in 1999. Now how much has been removed????? I hate to tell you but the west would not piss on you Albanians in Kosovo if you were on fire. You will rot there. No jobs and no prospects.

I said that there is no evidence that Illyrians and Albanians are the same people. Yes there were a people called Illyrians but they did not transform into Albanians. Albanians arrived with the Turks.
Had you said that over time after arrival in the Balkans the Albanians intermarried with Thracians or Illyrians I would agree. However, there is no archaeological site that shows a that Albanians are descendents of Illyrians. I think you need to lay off the hooch because the Illyrians left no written records and we don’t know anything about their spoken language. That’s why they are a mystery. The attachment deals more with Serb history than Albanian plus it’s not really proof.
What about Russia and Serbia? The debt business had more to do with Russia and Europe than Russia and Serbia. The Russians have given plenty to Serbia in aid and loans, but what has the west given the Albanians in Kosovo?
Now tell me how many industries has the west relocated to Pristina? I am keen to know.

Why do you think Greeks support Albania's EU candidacy? If it was up to us, they would be a member-state already. The best way for us to stop having Albanian immigrants here whining for Greek citizenship is by helping them join the EU. Not that all of them have any luck getting the citizenship, but some of them do. Though for us it's quite amusing to see male Albanians getting the citizenship. See, as "Greeks" they have to serve the Greek Army for 1 year, where they learn among other things that there are only two countries they have to love, one is Greece and one is Serbia.

You need archaeological evidence. Everything else is an opinion.

You can’t draw conclusions on Albanians today and Illyrians of 5000 years ago because the Illyrians did not have a written language.

Sj and Ida, if it is concluded and facted that Albanians were here in Albania and Kosovo before Serbs, it means that Albanian did not steal anything from you, but you stole their land. As you are saying that Germans and Austrians started to study the existence of the Albanian culture and heritage. Lets take out all these people, why British, American, Armenian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Egyptian, Israeli and Arab scientists say that Illyrians are predecessors of Albanians. I mean, come on, these people are not crazy. Do you know that actually there is a scientist in Greece, who gave all his life to study Albanian and Illyrian Heritage. Do you know what happened? Actually he found many evidences about the Illyrian and Albanian heritage. And as he was saying, he found out that Armenian and Albanian language are the FIRST indo-european language in this earth. He found out that if Albanians would not assimilate, they would have their own letters, not Latin letters. There are many evidences my friends, but if you do not want to read about those, it is your problem. But it is not fair, to claim something which is non-existent.
Again as I am saying there is a video which tells BY FACTS the language heritage made by businessinsider and you can watch it if you like.

Yes Illyrians were people that lived before the Albanians arrived in the region just as Thracians were people that lived in that part of Serbia before the Serbs arrived. However, this does not make the Thracians Serbs just as Constantine the Great was not a Serb despite being born in Nis.
All this you claim is not evidence at all. Especially the display about languages. Dr Quentin Atkinson group claims it all started in Turkey then you have Dr David Anthony who said he found Dr Atkinson’s language tree of Indo-European implausible in several details. They are only theories not fact.
The Illyrians had no written language so how can you compare Albanian and Illyrian languages to conclude they are the same people????
You claim that Albanians have been there for thousands of years and yet there is nothing in Kosovo. Roman ruins exist, Turks built things and so did the Serbs, but not even a foot bridge that can be claimed as Albanian and to top it off you have Albanians now claiming that Serb Churches and monasteries were built by Albanians and the Serbs stole them.

If yes, you'd know that nationalism has nothing to do with the Greek-Serbian friendship. Did your parents talk to you about our brothers, Serbs, when you were 5? Because this is what Greek families do and my family is not even a right-wing. You don't have Greek roots, you have Albanian roots. If you were a real Greek you wouldn't say "thank God I'm not Turk or Slav", you'd say thank God I'm not Turk or ALBANIAN. Sooo you are Albanian.

It existed before you were born as population or before you have been called Serbs. There are even scientific research made by SERBS who ratify this information. I can understand you, but anyway. About the thing that you are talking about, SJ, the computer thing I mean, Kosovo has 89 % internet usage, which means that Internet is spread in every single place in Kosovo, compared to Serbia which has 51.5 % internet usage. It tell a lot, still I am afraid that you are watching cartoons instead of reality. And to finish this debate, Kosovo is an independent country, it wont be united with Albania and any other country. Albanians and Kosovo Albanians, have their allies, thanks to them, I dont want to be in the position one day, our allies to block our gas, or to block anything which would harm our lives, as Russia did to Serbs, for 200 million debt for gas.

First off, "Kosovo" is a Serbian word - and Serbs are the ones first connected with it. In the history of the Byzantine Empire there are mentions of Serbs in Pristina and Prizren in the 11th century: Serbian royalty, rulers, soldiers, etc.

As for the Albanian from Zadar: it is know that Venice brought Albanians into the Dalmatia and coastal area to fight the Uskoks. The Uskoks were refugees who were forced to be pirates since they had been driven from their lands into the rocky coastal areas. The Uskoks were ingenious at building special ships which they used to pirate the Venice and other ships.

So Albanians were brought to fight them. And the Uskoks seem to be mainly Serb or Croat origins.

The fact is that most all the toponyms in Kosovo are Serbian or "Slavic" and there are also many of these in northern Albania.

As for the claim that Albanians were Illyrians - that was only started by the Austrians and Germans AFTER the Austrians had long referred to Serbs as Illyrians.

And in any event, the Illyrians seemed to have been cleansed or enslaved by the Romans. There is no real history of a huge migrations of Slavs coming in and killing the inhabitants.

When Serbs were first mentioned in the areas, they were already settled in villages: they were already in large numbers.
Serbs would be the same people who were living there, but under different names.

You don't even put an effort to pretend successfully that you are Greek. But it's quite offensive for me as a Greek to see Albanians pretending to be Greeks or of Greek origins. If you had Greek origins you would know that her nick name is a girly one. I guess when it comes to Greek names and nick names your knowledge is zero. If you (or your brother(s), father etc) spent 12 months in the Greek Army you would know that Albanian nationals with Greek citizenship or Greek Muslims of Turkish origins don't have exactly the time of their lives there, since the Army makes absolutely clear that Cyprus and Serbia are the countries we care about and Turkey and Albania are the countries we are willing to fight. And FYI, not only nationalists in Greece are Orthodox. Not only nationalists in Greece serve in the Army. Not only nationalists in Greece sent money, food, clothes, medication to Serbia during the Yugoslav war. It was not the Greek nationalists who went to Serbia for humanitarian aid, I participated myself in 1999 and my vote is far away from the nationalistic party in Greece. All Greeks supported and support Serbia. And definitely not only nationalists in Greece wish that all Albanians like yourself leave Greece permanently and migrate somewhere else.

As a friend said once, most of the material in Yugoslav library books is not worth the paper it’s written on.

LOL.

As someone who has Greek roots, I can surely confirm that is a lie. Not sure where Mina is getting these informations from.

Perhaps if she or he is a Golden Dawnist, shed know that GD in 1980s was on a rampage of the Greek-Albanian Brotherhood.

Likewise, no one really can be a citizen of Greece nowadays unless you were born from a Greek parent and not much bother to try to become one anyways.

Greeks only like Serbia for 2 main things, to get back at their neighbours and religious affiliations. That's the summary. If some ultra nationalist Greeks had their way Albanians, who are closely linked to Greeks in so many aspects that neither an Albanian, Greek or Serb who are Slav can deny, would be in a Hellenic Republic and vice versa for the Albanian nationalists.

Anyways, why are some people so off topic here? I am just thankful I am not a Slav nor a Turk...

As for NATO. Serbia doesn't hold NATO values [take this as you please, good or bad]. It shouldn't be apart of EU either.

New Chronology explains things much better. They prove that during for 300 years in 13-16 centuries Europe was a colony of the Horde. It was reflected in history as Migration Period or the period of the barbarian invasions of the 4-6 centuries. In 17-18 centuries this part of the history was rewritten by Scaliger/Petavius& Co.

Also they say that twice during the epidermis in 14 and in 15 centuries greater part of the Europeans especially in the south were eliminated by to save the Horde (Roman) Empire. Later all the lands were inhabited by the Horde people. Horde was a Slav Empire with capitol in Novgorod Veliki but it was multinational.

So most likely both pro-Serbs and pro-Albanians came together from the east. Besides the 1389 battle of Kosovo had nothing to do with Turkey that simply did not existed yet. It was called Blue Horde and obeyed the Golden Horde. Russians reflected in the European history under other names and Constantin the Great you mentioned was Dmitri Donskoy.

http://chronologia.org/xpon7/x7_13_01.html

Horde colonized the whole world so Donskoy had no chance to bring all his troops to the fatal Kulikovo battle. “было у него многое множество и других (войск) , да воевали они далеко, ПОКОРЯЛИ СТРАНЫ В РАЗНЫХ ЧАСТЯХ СВЕТА, и не мог он созвать их вовремя в нужное место...”

http://chronologia.org/reconstr3/5_01.html

Same problems could be in Kosovo Polije when two parts of the same Horde fought each other.

You have better chances convincing an Asian or an African (especially a Muslim African) about the "war crimes" conducted by Serbia. These days we focus on the war crimes conducted by USA and Muslims against Serbia. The EU is divided by nations, but it's united by race and religion.

The citizens of the EU dont support Albanians. We don't want Islamic countries in the EU. We are not willing to be taxed to support the economy of an Islamic country and we definitely take seriously the reports of Europol (Police of the EU), according to which Albania has by far the highest crime rate in Europe. By importing Albanian immigrants we import crime. I'm not from Serbia neither any of my family members. Go to any European forum and ask Europeans (whose countries are member-states of the EU) if they support Albanians. There you will find the answer your looking for. Apart from that, many European (and even Canadian) scholars, journals etc published articles/books/documentaries about the war crimes conducted by Muslims and Americans in Yugoslavia. Examples are "Sorry, Serbia" (Norwegian), The weight of chains (Canadian production), Justice for Yugoslavia (UK), Srebrenicha - A city betrayed (Norwegian Production), all the related work of Peter Handte (Austrian) who was recently awarded with the Ibsen Literary Award and many others which I read/watched in the past but I don't remember the titles right now, sorry. But you can google. We don't live in 1999 anymore, the media propaganda against Serbia is over. Next stop: Albania. Albanians were naïve enough to ask for EU candidacy. So now the EU Press is all over Albania and the more they search, the more we get convinced that our governments made a terrible mistake in 1999.

It existed before you were born as population or before you have been called Serbs. There are even scientific research made by SERBS who ratify this information. I can understand you, but anyway. About the thing that you are talking about, SJ, the computer thing I mean, Kosovo has 89 % internet usage, which means that Internet is spread in every single place in Kosovo, compared to Serbia which has 51.5 % internet usage. It tell a lot, still I am afraid that you are watching cartoons instead of reality. And to finish this debate, Kosovo is an independent country, it wont be united with Albania and any other country. Albanians and Kosovo Albanians, have their allies, thanks to them, I dont want to be in the position one day, our allies to block our gas, or to block anything which would harm our lives, as Russia did to Serbs, for 200 million debt for gas. Actually, if there is a brotherhood, this would not happen. I can understand you all. About the uranium, probably you haven't been to Kosovo, and I am happy that you haven't been here.

O.K. enough is enough. I have to admit I am a frustrated Albanian who lives in Albania, the country of horror and crime. I hate the fact that Albanians in Kosovo introduce themselves as Kosovars and not as Albanians. It was not supposed to be like that, USA promised us that Kosova would become ours. We hate Serbs because after 5 centuries of Islamic occupation they still managed to maintain their religion. In Albania we have Muslims, Catholics and Orthodox because every time a country invaded and occupied us, a big part of our population converted, because we were big cowards and afraid of our invader's anger. I hate it that Putin supports Serbia so much, I hate it. I know that USA used us to build NATO Bases in the Balkans and now that Americans got what they wanted, they don't care anymore. We have no real allies, no one calls us brothers like Russians call Serbs, not even Turkish like us because half of us are not Muslims. I know that we stole Kosova from Serbs but Serbs are so dumb that they might actually let us get away with that. I pray every day to Allah that a bear in Siberia will attack and eat Putin. It's pathetic, I know, but it's our only hope to get Kosova.

I said that there is no evidence that Illyrians and Albanians are the same people. Yes there were a people called Illyrians but they did not transform into Albanians. Albanians arrived with the Turks.
Had you said that over time after arrival in the Balkans the Albanians intermarried with Thracians or Illyrians I would agree. However, there is no archaeological site that shows a that Albanians are descendents of Illyrians. I think you need to lay off the hooch because the Illyrians left no written records and we don’t know anything about their spoken language. That’s why they are a mystery. The attachment deals more with Serb history than Albanian plus it’s not really proof.
What about Russia and Serbia? The debt business had more to do with Russia and Europe than Russia and Serbia. The Russians have given plenty to Serbia in aid and loans, but what has the west given the Albanians in Kosovo?

There is no evidence of a connection to Albanians Illyrians except the ones in your head. The Romans, Turks and Serbs have left bridges, churches, houses, buildings in Kosovo, but Albanians do not have a cave painting and that’s after thousands of years of so called occupation.
Now that you have 89% internet usage in Kosova then why are you and your kind using a Serb-based media site to make comment. Surely there is one based in Pristina? Next thing I expect you to mention that the economy in Kosova is larger than in Serbia, but the thing that fails in this argument is the “official” level of unemployment of 45%.
Here is my question. Since the west loves you so much how many factories/industry have relocated to Kosova??????????? How many?
Kosovo cannot be united with Albania because the EU will NEVER allow the formation of a large Muslim country in Europe. Try it and they will destroy the lot of you.
The $200 million business had nothing to do with Serbia at all but it was politics on a larger scale. Serbia has and always will get gas from Russia.
Yes its called depleted uranium and they used it extensively in Kosovo in 1999. Now how much has been removed?????

Lets take out all these people, why British, American, Armenian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, Egyptian, Israeli and Arab scientists say that Illyrians are predecessors of Albanians. I mean, come on, these people are not crazy. Do you know that actually there is a scientist in Greece, who gave all his life to study Albanian and Illyrian Heritage. Do you know what happened? Actually he found many evidences about the Illyrian and Albanian heritage. And as he was saying, he found out that Armenian and Albanian language are the FIRST indo-european language in this earth. He found out that if Albanians would not assimilate, they would have their own letters, not Latin letters. There are many evidences my friends, but if you do not want to read about those, it is your problem. But it is not fair, to claim something which is non-existent.

Yes Illyrians were people that lived before the Albanians arrived in the region just as Thracians were people that lived in that part of Serbia before the Serbs arrived. However, this does not make the Thracians Serbs just as Constantine the Great was not a Serb despite being born in Nis.
All this you claim is not evidence at all. Especially the display about languages. Dr Quentin Atkinson group claims it all started in Turkey then you have Dr David Anthony who said he found Dr Atkinson’s language tree of Indo-European implausible in several details. They are only theories not fact.
The Illyrians had no written language so how can you compare Albanian and Illyrian languages to conclude they are the same people????
You claim that Albanians have been there for thousands of years and yet there is nothing in Kosovo. Roman ruins exist, Turks built things and so did the Serbs, but not even a foot bridge that can be claimed as Albanian and to top it off you have Albanians now claiming that Serb Churches and monasteries were built by Albanians and the Serbs stole them.

"They'd learn to love Greece and Serbia"

LOL.

As someone who has Greek roots, I can surely confirm that is a lie. Not sure where Mina is getting these informations from.

Perhaps if she or he is a Golden Dawnist, shed know that GD in 1980s was on a rampage of the Greek-Albanian Brotherhood.

Likewise, no one really can be a citizen of Greece nowadays unless you were born from a Greek parent and not much bother to try to become one anyways.

Greeks only like Serbia for 2 main things, to get back at their neighbours and religious affiliations. That's the summary. If some ultra nationalist Greeks had their way Albanians, who are closely linked to Greeks in so many aspects that neither an Albanian, Greek or Serb who are Slav can deny, would be in a Hellenic Republic and vice versa for the Albanian nationalists.

Anyways, why are some people so off topic here? I am just thankful I am not a Slav nor a Turk...

As for NATO. Serbia doesn't hold NATO values [take this as you please, good or bad]. It shouldn't be apart of EU either.

Ciao.

Stop the BS about who was here first. It does not matter. What really matters is that NATO membership will improve the quality of life in Serbia :).

Does killing babies improve anyone's life? 'Cause this is what NATO did in Iraq and Afghanistan. You will become USA's dogs. You will have to send your Special Forces men in every war USA decides to start and all you'll get for return will be a promise that if anyone hurts your country, NATO will defend you. But who is going to defend you from NATO? Or do you honestly believe that NATO will be your real friend and ally? NATO membership is a trap for all countries except the US, the UK and Germany.

Perhaps accession to this organization that engages in illegal wars should be put to vote by the people of Serbia.

You need archaeological evidence. Everything else is an opinion. All the text you quote is someone’s academic work based on previous work and then a conclusion is drawn, they are only theories and you need hard evidence. You can’t draw conclusions on Albanians today and Illyrians of 5000 years ago because the Illyrians did not have a written language.
As I said before had you stated that Albanians intermixed with Thracians and Illyrians then yes that would be correct, but not what your claiming.

sj, Thracians did NOT mix with Albanians, man. And it will take a long, long, looong time before Greeks of ANY State including Thrace will mix with Albanians in the future :-)
Why do you think Greeks support Albania's EU candidacy? If it was up to us, they would be a member-state already. The best way for us to stop having Albanian immigrants here whining for Greek citizenship is by helping them join the EU. Not that all of them have any luck getting the citizenship, but some of them do. Though for us it's quite amusing to see male Albanians getting the citizenship. See, as "Greeks" they have to serve the Greek Army for 1 year, where they learn among other things that there are only two countries they have to love, one is Greece and one is Serbia. God is a troll. A mega troll ;-)

The Evidance of Illrian existence on ballkan peninsula would be the Albanian people, not infrastructure/documents.

They had no system of writing to pass down their language on hard copies.

Albanian alphabet developed very late compared to the rest of their neighbours in the Balkan.

Therefore in history, Albanians and Illyrians are mentioned in foreign documentation.

SJ, Ok let us take it more serious, if all of these are opinions, than, can you show me the evidence, that Serbs were before Albanians here, and the Serbs were inhabitants before Albanians in Kosovo. But please, evidences, not opinions. Probably you will find something, just in Yugoslavian libraries or books. But still, there are also Yugoslavian authors who CONCLUDED and GAVE EVIDENCES about the Illyrians being the predecessors of Albanian. His name is Aleksandar Stipcevic. Actually, also he is originally Albanian, but was born in Croatia in Zadar. He has many awards for his research and findings about Illyrians, also from Yugoslavian authorities. Do not think that I want to get into conflict with you, because actually the war time and fights belongs to the past, now evidences will be shown. In the world there are million of scientists and historians, that concluded the issue of Illyria and Illyrians. Now if you find 3 or 4 of them that say there are no evidence, this does not refute the issue. Please let us be constructive on this issue.

You don't even put an effort to pretend successfully that you are Greek. But it's quite offensive for me as a Greek to see Albanians pretending to be Greeks or of Greek origins. If you had Greek origins you would know that her nick name is a girly one. I guess when it comes to Greek names and nick names your knowledge is zero. If you (or your brother(s), father etc) spent 12 months in the Greek Army you would know that Albanian nationals with Greek citizenship or Greek Muslims of Turkish origins don't have exactly the time of their lives there, since the Army makes absolutely clear that Cyprus and Serbia are the countries we care about and Turkey and Albania are the countries we are willing to fight. And FYI, not only nationalists in Greece are Orthodox. Not only nationalists in Greece serve in the Army. Not only nationalists in Greece sent money, food, clothes, medication to Serbia during the Yugoslav war. It was not the Greek nationalists who went to Serbia for humanitarian aid, I participated myself in 1999 and my vote is far away from the nationalistic party in Greece. All Greeks supported and support Serbia. And definitely not only nationalists in Greece wish that all Albanians like yourself leave Greece permanently and migrate somewhere else. About the "Greek-Albanian brotherhood" you mention, go to Athens, pick a crowded street and shout about this "brotherhood". In less than 2 minutes you will have your answer.

First off, "Kosovo" is a Serbian word - and Serbs are the ones first connected with it. In the history of the Byzantine Empire there are mentions of Serbs in Pristina and Prizren in the 11th century: Serbian royalty, rulers, soldiers, etc.

As for the Albanian from Zadar: it is know that Venice brought Albanians into the Dalmatia and coastal area to fight the Uskoks. The Uskoks were refugees who were forced to be pirates since they had been driven from their lands into the rocky coastal areas. The Uskoks were ingenious at building special ships which they used to pirate the Venice and other ships.

So Albanians were brought to fight them. And the Uskoks seem to be mainly Serb or Croat origins.

The fact is that most all the toponyms in Kosovo are Serbian or "Slavic" and there are also many of these in northern Albania.

As for the claim that Albanians were Illyrians - that was only started by the Austrians and Germans AFTER the Austrians had long referred to Serbs as Illyrians.

And in any event, the Illyrians seemed to have been cleansed or enslaved by the Romans. There is no real history of a huge migrations of Slavs coming in and killing the inhabitants.

When Serbs were first mentioned in the areas, they were already settled in villages: they were already in large numbers.
Serbs would be the same people who were living there, but under different names.

LOL, one of the billion reasons I'm not a GD supporter (or a nationalists in general) is that GD supports Albanians. About your Greek roots, this means nothing to me with respect to your reliability and your "knowledge" about Greece. Were you born and raised in Greece? Do you speak Greek? Are your parents and grandparents Greeks? Have you served in the Greek Army? Do you have Albanian neighbors with Greek citizenship? Because I have some. Did you attend a Greek school? because if you have, you'd know how Greeks feel about Serbs. Were you in Greece in 1991-1999 to see ALL Greeks including leftists and communists helping Serbs? If yes, you'd know that nationalism has nothing to do with the Greek-Serbian friendship. Did your parents talk to you about our brothers, Serbs, when you were 5? Because this is what Greek families do and my family is not even a right-wing. You don't have Greek roots, you have Albanian roots. If you were a real Greek you wouldn't say "thank God I'm not Turk or Slav", you'd say thank God I'm not Turk or ALBANIAN. Sooo you are Albanian. And for your information, have no illusions: No one likes Albanians in Greece. Not the leftists, not the communists not the liberals. It's just that some people tolerate you and some people don't.

New Chronology explains things much better. They prove that during for 300 years in 13-16 centuries Europe was a colony of the Horde. It was reflected in history as Migration Period or the period of the barbarian invasions of the 4-6 centuries. In 17-18 centuries this part of the history was rewritten by Scaliger/Petavius& Co.

Also they say that twice during the epidermis in 14 and in 15 centuries greater part of the Europeans especially in the south were eliminated by to save the Horde (Roman) Empire. Later all the lands were inhabited by the Horde people. Horde was a Slav Empire with capitol in Novgorod Veliki but it was multinational.

So most likely both pro-Serbs and pro-Albanians came together from the east. Besides the 1389 battle of Kosovo had nothing to do with Turkey that simply did not existed yet. It was called Blue Horde and obeyed the Golden Horde. Russians reflected in the European history under other names and Constantin the Great you mentioned was Dmitri Donskoy.

http://chronologia.org/xpon7/x7_13_01.html

Horde colonized the whole world so Donskoy had no chance to bring all his troops to the fatal Kulikovo battle. “было у него многое множество и других (войск) , да воевали они далеко, ПОКОРЯЛИ СТРАНЫ В РАЗНЫХ ЧАСТЯХ СВЕТА, и не мог он созвать их вовремя в нужное место...”

http://chronologia.org/reconstr3/5_01.html

Same problems could be in Kosovo Polije when two parts of the same Horde fought each other.

NATO membership means big increase of the military spending. Ask the Poles or the Czechs how many hundreds of mullions dollars they had to spent to rearm their armies, to train the personnel ect. After that you can say if you are to afford such a pleasure. Only then the political , economic and moral aspects will arise.

Says who? The USA propaganda? This is not 1999 anymore. Europeans have started to learn about what happened in 1999 and about USA's "benefits" from Yugoslavia's dissolution. You have better chances convincing an Asian or an African (especially a Muslim African) about the "war crimes" conducted by Serbia. These days we focus on the war crimes conducted by USA and Muslims against Serbia. The EU is divided by nations, but it's united by race and religion. Multiculturalism may fly in the US, but it does no longer fly in the EU. The rest you see are just politics of our governments against Putin, the Gasfather.

I don't think you get it Albo, loving Serbs has nothing to do with nationalism in Greece. In fact, there are some nationalists in Greece who like Albanians and this is why their electoral power is low, because Greeks support Serbs, not Albos.

So all these people here who were saying that you are an Albanian pretending to be Serb were right. I guess you don't need Serbs to shame you. You don't need Serbs to humiliate you. You do that all by yourselves. But then again, you've been doing that in your entire history, so no surprise here.

The citizens of the EU dont support Albanians. We don't want Islamic countries in the EU. We are not willing to be taxed to support the economy of an Islamic country and we definitely take seriously the reports of Europol (Police of the EU), according to which Albania has by far the highest crime rate in Europe. By importing Albanian immigrants we import crime. I'm not from Serbia neither any of my family members. Go to any European forum and ask Europeans (whose countries are member-states of the EU) if they support Albanians. There you will find the answer your looking for. Apart from that, many European (and even Canadian) scholars, journals etc published articles/books/documentaries about the war crimes conducted by Muslims and Americans in Yugoslavia. Examples are "Sorry, Serbia" (Norwegian), The weight of chains (Canadian production), Justice for Yugoslavia (UK), Srebrenicha - A city betrayed (Norwegian Production), all the related work of Peter Handte (Austrian) who was recently awarded with the Ibsen Literary Award and many others which I read/watched in the past but I don't remember the titles right now, sorry. But you can google. We don't live in 1999 anymore, the media propaganda against Serbia is over. Next stop: Albania. Albanians were naïve enough to ask for EU candidacy. So now the EU Press is all over Albania and the more they search, the more we get convinced that our governments made a terrible mistake in 1999.
