I really don't know if the statistics are true..Serbs like to enlarge a "little" the things...
But by the way...for a Kosovo people is more easy to take an Serbian passp.(that's convenient for serbian governement)..,than an Albanian passp...Albania don't give Albanian passp. to the Kosovo people and this is to difficult for this isolated people...

Why should they do that when they can exploit a country like Serbia which is closer and is stupid enough to be exploited."

How can Serbia be exploited when they are not giving passports to albanians with kosovar documents and when they block albanians trying to pass at Merdare?

You mean the illegal abuse of asylum in EU states by Kosovo Albanians with Serbian passport is a good way to cause problems for Serbia? Just like the Albanians from South Serbia do who make up a big part of the false asylum seekers?

But yes, it is damaging Serbia, because of political correctness in the west they cannot talk about the ethnicity of all the criminals, only about the citizenship. But the world is not stupid, no fear. In the same way, some ethnic group causes problems for Romania.

"a passport is a declaration of one's country of nationality. if one wishes to change nationalities it is often for a reason. just because your "interpretation" explicitly assumed a reason, does not mean its any different than the one you discredit because it didn't boldly assume the reason. "
(zbarz, 6 February 2015 17:50)

Yes, it is usually for the reason that you are living in that country for years and want to get more rights. Then you apply for citizenship, like 10.000s of Serbian immigrants did in Germany, especially the generation of 'Serbs' who have been in Serbia for holidays or visiting relatives once or twice a year at most. And I don't think abusing the visa free travel regime is any valid reason to ask for a passport for a Kosovo Albanian.

And yes, they are considered Serbian citizens, because Kosovo is Serbia, while Kosovo is not Albania, so for getting an Albanian passport is much more complicated because is requires applying for Albanian citizenship.

Yeah I somewhat agree that it's unusual for many Albanians to apply for Serb passports but what would actually be odd if there were some Albanian troops who participated in the Kosovo conflict of 1998-'99 and defected or considered defecting to Serbia.

I would redirect the lot of them to the Croatian boarder and let their Croat brothers deal with them, either that decline their applications so they can leave in their dream state Kosovo. A goat herder will always be just that.

Why don't the K-albanian beggars go to Albania to get a passport? albania also has visa free travel. Or maybe even albania doesn't want you? I think the freeloading k-albanians know that their new Land of freedom and independence is nothing more than a hell hole of crime and poverty. oh well, be careful what you wish for :-) i hope the k-albanians enjoy their new slums and gettos. we Serbs are glad to get rid of you.

I think they know something as Serbia implodes in slow motion and sucks in some of the surrounding areas. Getting out while it is still possible. Lol Serbia is willing to sell the passports and then take them back at the border and resell them again. Serbia always thinking how to make money since the pyramid scheme went bust they thought it was a sure winner.

Wow, why would Albanians want to get a Serbian passport? After all the terrible things Serbian people did to Albanian people in Kosovo like all the rapes( over 100,000 ) all the murders of poor Albanian citizens ( over 200,000 ) and just plain out right treating the poor Albanian God fearing and peace loving people so badly? Why are Albanian people asking criminal Serbia for passports? Serbian men with such lust and hunger for sex, they are so evil and dangerious and just can not control them self from their evil desire to have sex all the time especially while in uniform and oath to their country! One Serbian soldier can rape over 100 Albanian woman in less than a week, incredible but true! And Albanian people to go to Serbia and ask for passports, very dangerious! Serbian people are all crazy sex maniacs and vicious and they enjoy drinking Albanian blood, isn't that why the USA, England and Germany bombed them for 78 consecutive punishing days with out any mercy? Gods living mortal angels Bill Clinton and Tony Blair under direction of the new peace loving Germany and blessing of the Vatican did the right thing back in 1999, such terrible people the Serbians? And now so many Albanians asking Serbia for passports, what is this world comming to!

I am afraid this stefanovic lives in cloud cuckoo land, the only reason these people (Albanians) get a Serbian passport is to travel visa free and make spurious asylum applications across mainland europe. Not only will this make the EU countries to re-introduce visas for all Serbians it will also increase in the dislike of all Serbians by taring them with the same brush. Kosovo is an American protectorate they should all go there.

The interpretation is far from correct.


The fact is Kosovo is being run by the most corrupt politicians in Europe. The people there of all ethnicities are suffering and there is a huge exodus. It isn't a point scoring matter or a joke. Obviously since Serbia considers Kosovo a province they would go to Serbia and apply for passport to leave Kosovo quickly.

It has nothing to do with Kosovo citizens liking Serbia. They don't. But this is what happens when you create the illusion Kosovo is Serbia. So don't complain!

As for Kosovo, I feel for you but you did elect Hashim Thaci since 2008. You are picking the wrong people and going about removing them the wrong way.

if you want a specific nation's passport you wish to be considered that nationality in the international community's eyes whenever you use that passport to travel.

however, it would seem very likely that that is indeed the reason that this number of people wish to "temporarily" take on a serbian nationality so that they can get the certain benefits of that passport.

What a nonsense interpretation. What about this: Because Serbia is a country which was granted the visa-free regime for EU Schengen area, while Kosovo doesn't has it and won't get it in the near future because of lack of law in this corrupt criminal entity, those Kosovo Albanians apply for a Serbian passport to join the line of false asylum seekers leaving Serbia for the EU.

Sound like the much more likely interpretation, doesn't it?
