On Wednesday, Thaci's deputy Petrit Selimi confirmed for the Beta agency that an NGO had invited Thaci to take part in a gathering in Belgrade on April 24, and that it was "the task of Serbian authorities to guarantee his safe stay."

A stay in prison can be considered very safe - without fear to be killed by rivaling mafia bosses.

It's a state visit. Host countries don't arrest the leaders it allows in the country! It's post Brussels anyway and Serbia legally can't arrest him.

========================
He's been invited by the NGOs not by the state of Serbia so how does that make it a state visit?

Teodor Muzaka 1389

The sponsors of Thaci's visit are a Serbian NGO,British and American embassies in Belgrade with the silent approval of Serbia gonverment.
The stance on EU was in favor of Thaci's visit.

I don't like Thaci myself but he is deputy prime minister of Kosovo with whom Serbia has sign countless agreements. Also as a political leader Thaci has the diplomatic immunity and can be arrested only from Hague not from Serbia.

The only thing Serbia can do is to say that they can not guaranty his safety, but still they are against the Brussels's agreement with Kosovo,because Kosovo may say the same for Vucic,Nikolic,Vulin and Dacic when they visit Kosovo.

I think Serbian leaders knew this ahead of time and they are playing the game now.
Thaci will come in Belgrade as he was in Montegnegro and you guys will guaranty his safety, by traveling with helicopter etc.

If Thaci will be arrested, than the hell will brake loose in the region.
Vucic,Dacic,Nikolic and Vulin will be ban to enter Kosovo and Albania will complain in NATO etc. etc.
Plus Thaci will be consider as political prisoner and Serbia will be isolated more and more from the world.
Arresting Thaci will cost Serbia more than allowing him to come to Belgrade.

Edi Rama is seen as the leader of the Balkan countries in the EU perspective. Maybe now Albania'ns matter more than they did few years ago.

Of course thaci won't be arrested during his state visit. It's a state visit. Host countries don't arrest the leaders it allows in the country! It's post Brussels anyway and Serbia legally can't arrest him.

I hope he actually goes there and is actually arrested. The $hitstorm that would follow that would be spectacular. The chain reaction would be great to witness as well.

Also, I think after these statements Kosova is justified in issuing arrest warrants for Vucic, Vulin, and Nikolic, since they were Milosevic's chronies. Next time they plan a visit they could be met with similar statements.

I don't know under what pretext Thaci could be arrested as he was only the political leader of the Albanians.

So was Milosevic only a political leader as well as Karadzic and they were arrested.

Serbia again threatening a political leader of a neighboring country, one which has diplomatic immunity! And Serbia is seeking EU membership? This is absurd, and the EU entertains a radical like Serbia for EU membership? This is beyond hilarious!!!

He has an arrest warrant on him, yet Tadic, Dacic and Nikolic still signed contracts with him and shook his hand as if they were UCK brothers. I'm sorry but in my books, associating with a wanted criminal and making deals with him is an illegal offence. So shouldn't the police now detain our leaders or is there a double standard?

I think that he should go and that Serbs should arrest him. It would be the ultimate sacrifice he could do for Kosovo and he would be immortalized.
Instead of working on integration into the EU over the next 3 years Serbia would be tied up in negotiations for his release. Kosovo would close the border for any Serb politician and the people would see that Belgrade is not there for them.
On the downside it would spark violence from both sides and probably have to have peacekeepers ordered to both sides of the border.
Thaci would be seen throughout the world as a political prisoner and his detainment would be stamped on every loan application that Serbia seeks.
It would level the playing field for Kosovo and Serbia.

Actually I do not think he should go as his presence will just antagonize and accomplish nothing but Serbia has drawn a line in the sand so we will have to see who will stand down in the interest of peace in the Balkans and EU integration.

Good point

Yes, if your a terrorist your not welcomed in Serbia! I applaud the Serb government for taking this stance,

If Kosovo-Albanians arrest Vucic, they'd be doing Serbia a favor because he is a traitor and sell-out.

And Thaci is a murderer and cop-killer - he has blood on his hands.

Serbia would be foolish to allow him to come, just as it was foolish to allow the Albanian delegation to come for the football match.

Allowing the Albanians to come resulted in the drone-incident which caused more negative fall-out to Serbia than simply restricting them from coming would have.
Further, it even penalized the innocent football players by docking them 3 points.
The Serbian football players simply took done the interfering political banner, which had no right to be in that stadium, nor did the Albanians have a right to fly that drone. They should do that in Albania to their hearts' content.

This one said this and that one said that, bla bla bla! By acting this way Serbia will never be free, never be in peace! What good is it to burn a flag, any flag? What good is it to play insulting word games that amount to nothing? Since the 1990's Serbia and it's people surrounded and devistated by ancient Satanic hatred! Serbia continues on self destruction path, refuses to mobilize and defend what little is left of a once great nation. Liberty and Peace, will Serbia ever learn how to win and retain it? What is it that Serbia does not understand regarding Satan and Hell? Like a tight rope walker balancing above the endless pit of Hell! All Satan is waiting for is for Serbia to slip, next time the wrath of Hell comes to Serbia 1999 will look like it was a garden party! Games people play, in this case the lives and liberty of vast innocent Christian Eastern Orthodox Slavic people who only desire Peace and Liberty. Before any positive climate and economy in Serbia, Liberty and Peace must be won and achieved. How will Serbia win and achieve liberty and peace by continuing to walk the tight rope? It is really sickening to watch and listen how Serbia continues to entertain Satan. In stead of moving on to bigger and better things Serbia keeps looking back to Sodom and Gamora! For all Serbian cival leaders the first priority above any thing else Safety of all Serbian people! What is being done to protect the lives and liberty of Serbian people in Serbia? Gospode Pomiluj!!!

If Serbia will arrest Thaci, Kosovo and Albania should arrest Vucic, Djuric, Vulin and Dacic if they set foot in Kosovo and Albania.
It wouldn't be difficult to get arrest warrant for all of them.

This whole Diskussion just shows the entire world once more how f...ed up Serbia is, a Country ruled by war criminals with double standards. It would be the end of the Eu negotiations for Serbia if it dared to try that, a no Serb official could ever set foot on Kosovo territory even again. One can only shake its head about these so called politicians who are nothing but war criminals in disguise.

I don't like Thaci myself but he is deputy prime minister of Kosovo with whom Serbia has sign countless agreements. Also as a political leader Thaci has the diplomatic immunity and can be arrested only from Hague not from Serbia.

The only thing Serbia can do is to say that they can not guaranty his safety, but still they are against the Brussels's agreement with Kosovo,because Kosovo may say the same for Vucic,Nikolic,Vulin and Dacic when they visit Kosovo.

I think Serbian leaders knew this ahead of time and they are playing the game now.
Thaci will come in Belgrade as he was in Montegnegro and you guys will guaranty his safety, by traveling with helicopter etc.

If Thaci will be arrested, than the hell will brake loose in the region.
Vucic,Dacic,Nikolic and Vulin will be ban to enter Kosovo and Albania will complain in NATO etc. etc.
Plus Thaci will be consider as political prisoner and Serbia will be isolated more and more from the world.
Arresting Thaci will cost Serbia more than allowing him to come to Belgrade.

It's a state visit. Host countries don't arrest the leaders it allows in the country! It's post Brussels anyway and Serbia legally can't arrest him.

========================
He's been invited by the NGOs not by the state of Serbia so how does that make it a state visit?
