"No hope for better life in Kosovo" - minister

(Joni, 17 February 2015 14:12)
Here is the reality lad. About 80% of Pristina’s budget comes from EU funds and they are actually count that as income.
Kosovo is the poorest place in Europe and in fact it can even rival some African countries. Forget the statistics as they lies. People do not leave on mass even if there is half a chance of some life.
Brussels is printing money now to stimulate its economies and they are not going to give it to Pristina. The party is over.

The only hope for a better life in Kosovo-Metohija is if you are trafficking drugs, organs or women. Normal people who have no ties to criminals in Kosovo-Metohija know this and are taking very desperate measures to leave. Some are leaving by foot, others are cramming 200 in a 45 person bus even if it means being stuck on there for hours.

When normal, decent Albanians realize that their only chance of a better life in Kosovo-Metohija is with a highly autonomous model within Serbia, then we can start flushing out the KLA trash and only then a better future awaits.

(sj, 17 February 2015 14:51)
You continually refer to this as a Serbian site but 100% of your comments are geared toward bashing Albanians, the US or both. Whats wrong can you not find one good thing to say about Serbia????

I don't agree with this.... Kosovo is growing slowly...but is growing...the statistics show that is better than some other countries....
Butttt, this migration is very strange to me too....

Vulin is saying there is no hope, but why is he not instead saying, "there is hope, because Kosovo is a Serbian province and eventually, Belgrade will improve matters there"?

"The best appraisal of the so-called independence of Kosovo and Metohija has been made by the citizens of Albanian ethnicity who are leaving that area en masse," Vulin concluded.

No, they don't appraise the independence with their leaving, but what criminal politicians and mafia clans made out of it. Even the most stupid person must have seen where criminals like Thaci and Haradnaj are steering Kosovo into: Into a lawless mafia state, with government being driven by the nationalist mob and where ordinary people who don't belong to their clans have no chance for a decent life.

The method 15 years ago should have been to establish an international governor responsible for Kosovo, with his first action was putting those shady figures behind bars.

WOW 120,000 Albanians and countless thousands of people from third world countries all descending on Serbia to cross the border to Hungary and into the EU.
And people see this as an issue in Kosovo. Sounds pretty evident to me that Serbia has established itself as the no 1 source of human trafficking in the world. The EU needs to wake up and smell the coffee before the corruption in Serbia drains the EU coffers completely.
All the talk about corruption in Kosovo, this is not happening in Kosovo but in the corrupt free state of Serbia. You do not have this type of organized flow without involvement of officials in the govt at high levels.

A couple of thousand people who are leaving Kosova dosen't represent the entire population of Kosova. Kosova today is million times better than before 1999. Before there diden't exist roads between cities and people were poor. Now we build highways and roads to most rural villages. People open business and building homes. The majority wont leave Kosova even if they had the right to it.

The reason some people are leaving Kosova is strange and I think more political than we think. Poor people is being used for some poltical reason.

Kosova is 7 years independent and Serbia more than 100 years. The difference is not so big. The avarege salary is almost the same.
Kosova is young and it will take time for it to devolep.

I guess time has come for Serbs to leave Kosovo.

"Try reading the World Bank reports"

Please advise someone who is not in the financial world where to access the report that identifies 80% of the Kosovo budget as coming from EU donations. I cannot find such a report on the World Bank site.

A large part of the Kosovo budget comes from Customs fees. Not the best method according to economists I've met....but they aren't donations.

When normal, decent Albanians realize that their only chance of a better life in Kosovo-Metohija is with a highly autonomous model within Serbia, then we can start flushing out the KLA trash and only then a better future awaits.
(Ari Gold, 17 February 2015 18:00)

Nice try Ari. KLA was decent Albanians fighting Serbia out of Kosova for good. KLA was the people of Kosova. We rather die hungry than being in some way part of Serbia. We are Albanians and our nation is Albania including the state of Kosova. You serbs can bark how much you want but you will bark from the outside of the fence. I know it hurts that Albanians won the war against Serbia and won Kosova.

The people of Kosova dont want anything to do with Serbia. You should learn to accept that Ari just like Dacic and co are doing :)

I guess time has come for Serbs to leave Kosovo.
(Avni, 17 February 2015 17:43)

No they're getting money from Pristina, Belgrade, and Brussels to stay. Albanians can't even get a visa to leave.

Well, it is a bit difficult for them to see this better life within Serbia when they read news like:

Same statistic but no source. Can you please assist us non-fianance types and show us a source for this figure? The official Kosovo budget is available and this is not apparent in it as a revenue source.

:) well, no one here is saying Kosovo does not have problems, it has and has a lot. It's a new state and still is facing many problems which countries established much longer ago are still trying to solve. Definitely it does not need a genius, or a Serbian minister to arrive to this conclusions cause these problems are very well known.
At some point of time, many Balkan coutries have faced exodus, some earlier some later. It's unfortunately Kosovo's time to face these problem now. Among all the negative sides, it does produce a positive one as well, that there is a bell ringing and might arise some attention to real problems in the country, such as poverty, economical stagnation or corruption. I am sure they will overpass them, it will take some time but they will.
Having said so, this so called minister might as well focus on his own duties towards his own people cause I do not think Serbia is doing so great in terms of unemployment rate or people wanting to get out of the country. In case someone told him that Kosovo is also under his jurisdiction, then I want to remind him that today is the 17 of February. If he is so good with numbers, he can check it out in internet what does that mean.
As for the serbs living there, love it or leave it. The choice is your. Albanians have made theirs 7 years ago...

The Serb gov't is paying these Albanians to leave Kosovo. They are funding this with money received from the EU which was earmarked for other projects.
(Viper, 17 February 2015 22:10)

I'd love for you to be right, but I think that's not true. It's just poor Albanians who are not criminals and are therefore highly impoverished in Kosovo-Metohija. Serbia unfortunately is helping the EU stop these people from leaving. How disgusting, Serbia's gov't pledges more allegiance to the EU than to Serbian national interests.

LOL, what our man in black really wanted to say is: "A state is made based on the Serbian Orthodox Churches that it has on its land". He bit his lip at the last moment. Don't mind people, February 17 is an emotional time for our neighbors in the north. They have to come up with something to say. In the past it was usually talk about how people in Kosovo were trained to perform heart extractions on live and awake patients in the middle of the forests, or talks of people being burned and skinned alive by that funny dressed looking man and gore lover, patriarch Irinej. So the current talk is actually progress from the state of Serbia.

I think for the Billions of Euros spend for Kosovo the donors could have build a huge wall around it.
(Comm. Parrisson, 18 February 2015 12:20)
would NOT have expected any other comment from you Comm Parr Milsovevic!
But actually that is what they did to a point.

On Monday morning the BBC covered the on masse migration from Kosovo. The reporter stated that as Kosovo’s real level of unemployment is 78% and there is no chance of ever getting work in Serbia there is only one alternative, leave.
(sj, 18 February 2015 07:53)

Well, according to BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24583286 the number of asylum applicants from Serbia is higher than from Kosovo and "many of the asylum seekers from Kosovo and Serbia are Roma, who are generally marginalised and living in slum conditions".

But I'm sure the CE of B92 forums sj has his/her own much more reliable sources and I'm sure that after becoming aware of sj's research BBC will add that "Kosovo’s real level of unemployment is 78% and there is no chance of ever getting work in Serbia there is only one alternative, leave.".

The Panda cafe massacre is another example of a case where Albanians were blamed by the Serb gov't, only to be shown later it was executed by the MUP.

Everybody in Kosovo knows that nothing good ever came from serbia!!!

(a New day, 17 February 2015 15:17)

Eh? It was the EU itself who insisted on this 'freedom of movement' for Kosovo Albanians, i.e. telling Serbia to accept the documents of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo as valid for travel. If these EU 'moderators' of the Belgrade-Pristina talks would have had some brain in their mind, they could have guessed that the oh-so proud Kosovo Albanians would use the first chance to escape from the independent dream state into the EU, abusing the asylum system which was never meant for people fleeing from poverty and the self-chosen corrupt regime and causing problems for EU countries, especially Germany, Austria and some more.

I think for the Billions of Euros spend for Kosovo the donors could have build a huge wall around it.

I am surprised that Serbian commentators call themselves Christian and Europeans when their mentality is easter-ruso-turk and certainly non Christian.

Welcome in Serbistan!

(icj1, 18 February 2015 22:39) according to BBC [link] the number of asylum applicants

Most names on this list have Muslim majorities and reflect the de facto EU policy, exemplified by the insistence of permanent borders around KiM, of excluding regions with Muslim majorities from the EU.

eh? You mean like Mr Thaci said: If Kosovo Albanians would get visa-free Schengen regime, they wouldn't illegally move to EU, but legally? Absurd. Kosovo isn't included in Schengen visa free area because of lack of any basic legal standards. And with the same reasons, EU must legalize drugs, so Thaci's clan mates from the drug mafia wouldn't operate illegally, or what?

would NOT have expected any other comment from you Comm Parr Milsovevic!
But actually that is what they did to a point.

But I'm sure the CE of B92 forums sj has his/her own much more reliable sources and I'm sure that after becoming aware of sj's research BBC will add that "Kosovo’s real level of unemployment is 78% and there is no chance of ever getting work in Serbia there is only one alternative, leave.".

Oh another piercing reprimand from the CTC of Albanians who quotes January figures when I’m talking about February and current events. I’m sure that the CTC has researched this carefully and as usual put 2+2 to = 72 and is never wrong.
That’s why he is the CTC.

(icj1, 19 February 2015 16:46)OK... then what.

....

The "what" was my comment on a well established EU policy that discriminates against Muslim regions. I thank you for your OK and recognition; in the future, you may simply wish to toggle the recommend vote.

LOL, what our man in black really wanted to say is: "A state is made based on the Serbian Orthodox Churches that it has on its land". He bit his lip at the last moment. Don't mind people, February 17 is an emotional time for our neighbors in the north. They have to come up with something to say. In the past it was usually talk about how people in Kosovo were trained to perform heart extractions on live and awake patients in the middle of the forests, or talks of people being burned and skinned alive by that funny dressed looking man and gore lover, patriarch Irinej. So the current talk is actually progress from the state of Serbia.

On Monday morning the BBC covered the on masse migration from Kosovo. The reporter stated that as Kosovo’s real level of unemployment is 78% and there is no chance of ever getting work in Serbia there is only one alternative, leave.

Well, according to BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24583286 the number of asylum applicants from Serbia is higher than from Kosovo and "many of the asylum seekers from Kosovo and Serbia are Roma, who are generally marginalised and living in slum conditions".

But I'm sure the CE of B92 forums sj has his/her own much more reliable sources and I'm sure that after becoming aware of sj's research BBC will add that "Kosovo’s real level of unemployment is 78% and there is no chance of ever getting work in Serbia there is only one alternative, leave.".

Most names on this list have Muslim majorities and reflect the de facto EU policy, exemplified by the insistence of permanent borders around KiM, of excluding regions with Muslim majorities from the EU.

Apologies that us common mortals do not have supernatural abilities like the CE of B92 forums sj to travel in the future and get February numbers before February ends. That's why you are the biggest asset of these forums with your unparalleled insights, including traveling in the future and giving us information in advance that we can find nowhere else. That's why I've made a lot of money by trading on information that only you know :)

Further P.S. Today's date is 19 February 2015 which is before 1 March 2015 and the month of February 2015 is made of the days from 1 Feb to 28 Feb 2015.

Another reprimand from the famous CTC who likes to quote past figures but angers quickly when someone has the temerity to talk of today’s events. But yes he is teh CTC of all Albanians.

I really appreciate the CE of B92 forums sj in person promoting the validity of my arguments.

Once again the CTC has seen how I validated his argument (whatever that is) but hey he is the CTC of Albanians that uses an Albanians calculator that produces 2+2+=72.

I am surprised that Serbian commentators call themselves Christian and Europeans when their mentality is easter-ruso-turk and certainly non Christian.

Welcome in Serbistan!

Absolutely... You, the CE of B92 forums in person, quoting them is the best I can hope for. Thanks mate and keep up the good work with providing us unparalleled economic analysis and news and data that can be found nowhere else. I've made a lot of money trading on that info :)
