Yes, it is a shame. But it still doesn't change what I wrote.

By the way, who is Milosevic? He's dead I heard.

Old news.

The only news that matters now is grow GDP and the fight against terrorism.

Power and influence in the region go to those who grow their GDP's and wage the war against terrorism.

Those that talk about Milosevic go nowhere.

America has always been Serbia's friend..... and Serbia always was pro-USA. Always.

And that friendship is again on the rise and two primary reasons are the reasons I specify below. Business and the Fight against Islamic terrorism.

gjon marko......or whatever your name is, it doesn't really matter.
you are here on a Serbian website, simply to irritate people, I get, there are a lot of you. just be careful, this pathological hatred towards Serbs needs to be overcome, otherwise it will just lead to more trouble.
sure in today's political climate your people, Albanians yeah not Serbs from the Serbian province of Kosovo, got something. what u got, I have no idea yet, and it doesn't seem like much, every move one of ur politicians makes has to be overseen and approved, so it's not autonomy.
but things change, they always have. be careful, it's quite obvious the germans don't want u in their country. so once u guys get even more radical, you'll be more out of the loop. you serve ur purpose right now for the americans, but here in the west it's getting tight already, normal people can feel the pinch. So when the fiscal outweighs having a base and a proxy force in the Balkans, you'll be left to your own devices. of which you have none, I've been to Albania and I feel sorry for your people, u can't even have a normal holiday there.
I'm not a big fan of Russia, because like u pointed out they didn't help much back then. but then they couldn't help themselves then, today is a different story. it's pretty certain that now we will have their help, including china.

buhuu Do you think they are strong for beating an unarmed civilian? That says alot about you. Its this attitude that got you where you are and the only time you will be visiting Kosovo is as a tourist. I hope it was worth it becaus I know that a little blood in exchange for never having Serbia back in Kosovo is a reward not a punishment.

You show this because you think its humiliating but its quite the contrary, it shows pride. Every drop of blood and every scar is the sign of men and women who dont bow in front of tyranny. Thanks for showing this.

Russia couldnt even pay their electricity bill and we expelled them like stray dogs. Where are your friends? Why didnt they stay as KFOR Member to protect Serbs in Kosovo as you claim they are your brothers?

"A friend should hear one's complaints, it's only human to ask a friend for something. We need help to annul the agreements signed by the worst (people) in Kosovo, the prime minister and his deputy," Haradinaj stated


Worst people in Kosovo? These words coming from an alleged war criminal who was only set free because he and his clan eliminated and silenced witnesses is more than ironic. This guy belongs to the same bag as Thaci, he's not any better or any worse.

P.S: The current Kosovo prime minister doesn't play in this league, fortunately.

Maybe he should beg the US to take Kosovo as the 51. state instead of taking steps to closer integration with the EU?

What kind of multiculure you want in Kosovo when you are not allowing Serbs who have churches there older then anything albanians have? We all know the truth about Kosovo, its politics from the west who destroy everything.

No matter what a typical albanian believes as long as he or she is born in Kosovo they are Serbian.

You guys are all young babies.

You think the past 25 year interlude of Clintonian adventurism overwrites Serbia and America's friendship? You think policy doesn't go into sunset and then change to adjust to new realities?

1990-1999 might as well be 500 years ago. It means nothing anymore in the general scheme of things and what challenges the world has today.

New realities are happening every day and Serbia is doing a great job at positioning itself -- because it has a lot to offer.

Some of us misunderstood our place in the clash of currents, so they cried that we belong to neither side, and others that we belong exclusively to one side or the other.

Truth is as Ned pointed out earlier in the piece, ' does he want Belgrade to pay for that '

The obvious clarity is that serbs don't want to support the churches aspirations to regain Kosovo, they are mainly a bunch of crooks and having Kosovo back will serve them in the next century as an assurance to have there pockets filled.
The game for the serb government at the moment is how to get Kosovo back without making it a religious cause, the church pays no tax, for all I know, and yet will benefit from Kosovo's return.
The reason we'll take it back slowly, is the amount of invested time and money that went into building and maintaining it in the first place.
In Vucic's eyes it is visible that he has a big question mark regarding the church, believe me, one can se one self.

How pointless this last pro K-ALB comment is, I have already forgotten the persons name.

Sometimes, I really find it hard to read some comments.

1. Rambo cant go to Hague, because ICTY has no more open cases except of monster Karadzic and that swine Seselj. Only soon to be Special war crime court could charge him but its unlikely since he already testified twice in front of ICTY. Who is guilty, shall be punished!!

2. Rambo is in a coalition with two other big parties forming the opposition, his word is important since they are strong political force.

3. Albanians and Serbs tolerated each other only under the rule of a third party, this doesnt mean they coexisted peacefully. I would call it a partnership of convenience. "Living together" will happen, in two different states just as it is now.

4. Serbia is and was never pro USA. Just because Serbia fought Nazis, it doesnt mean they were allies. See USA - Russia relation.

5. USA wont have to intervene against EU brokered deal because Kosovo is recognised by 23 out of 28 EU members. EU is our friend too.

6. He doesnt want Serbia (the State/Government) in Kosovo, he wasnt talking about Kosovo Serbs. After all, they are Kosovars too now :-) Kosovars of Serb ethnicy. Exciting!

They may think that they have special relations with the USA but they do not. More than half of the world has a "special relationship" with the USA, including the UK, France and Germany. Kosovo is not particularly high on the American's agenda... it is a very small place in a very big world. There are far more pressing issues to deal with than the rabid rantings of some third-rate provincial politician who is not even part of the current governing body in Pristina. The Americans will not operate against the EU-brokered agreement between Belgrade and Pristina because this would not be in the American's interests. And why should they?

This is a very foolish position to adopt. The future of Serbia/Kosovo lies with the EU and neighbours. The reality is that historically the Serb and Albanian people co existed satisfactorily within Kosovo/Serbia, it was only with the advent of polarising nationalistic and sectarian politics and the fragmenting of what was Yugoslavia and the horror of the 1990s war that produced the current arrangements. These arrangements are not sustainable economically for either Kosovo or Serbia, and they are not fair to the Serbian people who have lived for many generations in Kosovo. Further reinforcement of that fragmentation will only result in continued economic hardships and tension for both entities.
A continued EU brokered dialogue is required in order to enable an outcome of sufficiently mutual satisfaction and respect.At the heart of this problem are two ancient and wonderful cultures. They should be mature enough to find a satisfactory way of living together.

1. Rambo cant go to Hague, because ICTY has no more open cases except of monster Karadzic and that swine Seselj. Only soon to be Special war crime court could charge him but its unlikely since he already testified twice in front of ICTY. Who is guilty, shall be punished!!

2. Rambo is in a coalition with two other big parties forming the opposition, his word is important since they are strong political force.

3. Albanians and Serbs tolerated each other only under the rule of a third party, this doesnt mean they coexisted peacefully. I would call it a partnership of convenience. "Living together" will happen, in two different states just as it is now.

4. Serbia is and was never pro USA. Just because Serbia fought Nazis, it doesnt mean they were allies. See USA - Russia relation.

5. USA wont have to intervene against EU brokered deal because Kosovo is recognised by 23 out of 28 EU members. EU is our friend too.

6. He doesnt want Serbia (the State/Government) in Kosovo, he wasnt talking about Kosovo Serbs. After all, they are Kosovars too now :-) Kosovars of Serb ethnicy. Exciting!

Shout out to sasa.p, you never fail to amuse me with your cuckoo statements. Keep up the "good spirit" gramps :-S

This is a very foolish position to adopt. The future of Serbia/Kosovo lies with the EU and neighbours. The reality is that historically the Serb and Albanian people co existed satisfactorily within Kosovo/Serbia, it was only with the advent of polarising nationalistic and sectarian politics and the fragmenting of what was Yugoslavia and the horror of the 1990s war that produced the current arrangements. These arrangements are not sustainable economically for either Kosovo or Serbia, and they are not fair to the Serbian people who have lived for many generations in Kosovo. Further reinforcement of that fragmentation will only result in continued economic hardships and tension for both entities.
A continued EU brokered dialogue is required in order to enable an outcome of sufficiently mutual satisfaction and respect.At the heart of this problem are two ancient and wonderful cultures. They should be mature enough to find a satisfactory way of living together.

They may think that they have special relations with the USA but they do not. More than half of the world has a "special relationship" with the USA, including the UK, France and Germany. Kosovo is not particularly high on the American's agenda... it is a very small place in a very big world. There are far more pressing issues to deal with than the rabid rantings of some third-rate provincial politician who is not even part of the current governing body in Pristina. The Americans will not operate against the EU-brokered agreement between Belgrade and Pristina because this would not be in the American's interests. And why should they?

Serbia is pro-USA too!
(factman, 7 January 2016 16:54)

I don't think so.
May be u and 5% of Serbs are pro USA but the rest of 95% are against.
Anyway, listen to Irenej who says Russia comes first.
I know that he speaks for 95% of Serbs.

You tell that Serbs have old Churches in Kosovo. Strange is that those are build in middle of Albanian villages.
I wonder why?

Victoria

pre 8 godina

What kind of multiculure you want in Kosovo when you are not allowing Serbs who have churches there older then anything albanians have? We all know the truth about Kosovo, its politics from the west who destroy everything. Its a shame how in todays society more people are uneducated and dont know that Kosovo has always been zeta which has been Serbia. No matter what a typical albanian believes as long as he or she is born in Kosovo they are Serbian.

No one cares what Haradinaj thinks outside his paid circle of kleptocrats. The man is irrelevant and more than likely an embarrassment for the US.

gjon marko......or whatever your name is, it doesn't really matter.
you are here on a Serbian website, simply to irritate people, I get, there are a lot of you. just be careful, this pathological hatred towards Serbs needs to be overcome, otherwise it will just lead to more trouble.
sure in today's political climate your people, Albanians yeah not Serbs from the Serbian province of Kosovo, got something. what u got, I have no idea yet, and it doesn't seem like much, every move one of ur politicians makes has to be overseen and approved, so it's not autonomy.
but things change, they always have. be careful, it's quite obvious the germans don't want u in their country. so once u guys get even more radical, you'll be more out of the loop. you serve ur purpose right now for the americans, but here in the west it's getting tight already, normal people can feel the pinch. So when the fiscal outweighs having a base and a proxy force in the Balkans, you'll be left to your own devices. of which you have none, I've been to Albania and I feel sorry for your people, u can't even have a normal holiday there.
I'm not a big fan of Russia, because like u pointed out they didn't help much back then. but then they couldn't help themselves then, today is a different story. it's pretty certain that now we will have their help, including china.
Soooo what u have is very little, that is going to stay abstract, until new times come.
I wouldn't be antagonizing someone else.

He is entitled to an opinion and I and others are entitled to disagree. What does he mean that he doesn't want Serbia in Kosovo? Talk about having a laugh. The IC made the declaration of independence possible and the quid pro quo is that Kosovo Albanians have to peacefully co-exist with Serbs, not imply that they should all clear out of Kosovo. What more does he want? Merging with Albania with all costs paid by Belgrade? Immediate entry to the EU? A go with Obana's wife every other weekend? How about a bit of humility and gratitude?

Haha.

You guys are all young babies.

You think the past 25 year interlude of Clintonian adventurism overwrites Serbia and America's friendship? You think policy doesn't go into sunset and then change to adjust to new realities?

1990-1999 might as well be 500 years ago. It means nothing anymore in the general scheme of things and what challenges the world has today.

New realities are happening every day and Serbia is doing a great job at positioning itself -- because it has a lot to offer.

America has always been Serbia's friend..... and Serbia always was pro-USA. Always.

And that friendship is again on the rise and two primary reasons are the reasons I specify below. Business and the Fight against Islamic terrorism.

President Woodrow Wilson flew the flag of Serbia over the White house in 1918

... and yes, I do believe that fighting as Allies in WW2 (and WW1) is very important and that you rather conveniently dismiss it to support your argument.

I'll tell you another thing. Russia and America will be great friends very soon too. If you can't already see that happening, then you read too many newspapers.

God Bless Serbia.... and God Bless the USA.

"A friend should hear one's complaints, it's only human to ask a friend for something. We need help to annul the agreements signed by the worst (people) in Kosovo, the prime minister and his deputy," Haradinaj stated


Worst people in Kosovo? These words coming from an alleged war criminal who was only set free because he and his clan eliminated and silenced witnesses is more than ironic. This guy belongs to the same bag as Thaci, he's not any better or any worse.

P.S: The current Kosovo prime minister doesn't play in this league, fortunately.

Maybe he should beg the US to take Kosovo as the 51. state instead of taking steps to closer integration with the EU?

Truth is as Ned pointed out earlier in the piece, ' does he want Belgrade to pay for that '

The obvious clarity is that serbs don't want to support the churches aspirations to regain Kosovo, they are mainly a bunch of crooks and having Kosovo back will serve them in the next century as an assurance to have there pockets filled.
The game for the serb government at the moment is how to get Kosovo back without making it a religious cause, the church pays no tax, for all I know, and yet will benefit from Kosovo's return.
The reason we'll take it back slowly, is the amount of invested time and money that went into building and maintaining it in the first place.
In Vucic's eyes it is visible that he has a big question mark regarding the church, believe me, one can se one self.

How pointless this last pro K-ALB comment is, I have already forgotten the persons name.

====================

You just don't understand Serb politics.... the geographic position of Serbia.... and the role the SOC plays in national politics.

Sure, I'll listen to Irenej... but you now listen to Sava written in the 13th Century

At first we were confused. The East thought we were West, while the West considered us East. Some of us misunderstood our place in the clash of currents, so they cried that we belong to neither side, and others that we belong exclusively to one side or the other. But I tell you, we are doomed by fate to be the East in the West and the West in the East.

buhuu Do you think they are strong for beating an unarmed civilian? That says alot about you. Its this attitude that got you where you are and the only time you will be visiting Kosovo is as a tourist. I hope it was worth it becaus I know that a little blood in exchange for never having Serbia back in Kosovo is a reward not a punishment.

You show this because you think its humiliating but its quite the contrary, it shows pride. Every drop of blood and every scar is the sign of men and women who dont bow in front of tyranny. Thanks for showing this.

Russia couldnt even pay their electricity bill and we expelled them like stray dogs. Where are your friends? Why didnt they stay as KFOR Member to protect Serbs in Kosovo as you claim they are your brothers?

Yes, it is a shame. But it still doesn't change what I wrote.

By the way, who is Milosevic? He's dead I heard.

Old news.

The only news that matters now is grow GDP and the fight against terrorism.

Power and influence in the region go to those who grow their GDP's and wage the war against terrorism.

Those that talk about Milosevic go nowhere.

Gustave: Do you not understand irony? I was pointing out that he is taking the piss by expecting that the IC would support independence and ask nothing in return. His suggestion that Serbia should get out of Kosovo is as plausible as the things I mentioned, which is why I wrote them. I wouldn't pass wind with Dodik let alone share a drink with him.
