Exactly! Which is why it is a bit perplexing that the country which takes most of the precious research time of the CE of B92 forums sj is... US!

The US of Piss and Wind is exactly just that. All hot air and nothing to show for any of its efforts so far.

The US sees Serbia without Kosovo and Crimea without Russia and don't forget the South China Seas without China,, but in all cases failure after failure. Serbia was not supposed to come even close to negotiations with the EU without recognition, but here we are no recognition and talks are commencing.

Perhaps some modicum of success might come Washington's way if they get ride of people like Viki Nuland. Can anyone imagine a State Dept filled with Nuland types? The US can thank its affirmative action policies of appointing incompetents to high positions due to gender or race requirements.

Here are 30 articles archived from major American newspapers documenting efforts to destabilize Kosovo in the 1970's and 1980's (years before Milosevic even came to power).

The drive to independence was a textbook example of a well crafted, planned, and orchestrated attempt across numerous generations.

Nice story Gjon, there are many similar stories around the world where people don't gain independence but their governments are truly killing citizens with separatist desires. Look at Ukraine, Turkey and many other places, even the Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia didn't gain independence.

It has much more to do with world power policies, geopolitical agendas and US hegemony playing games of divide and conquer, destabilising regions to gain regimes that support said policies and agendas.

There were separatists in Kosovo for decades, as there are all over the world. No one was killing them. In fact, there were separatist elements designated as terrorists by the US.
(William UK, 15 July 2016 11:49)

You forgot that Kosovo held a referendum in 1991 where 95% of Kosovo population voted for independence. It is absolutely not true that no one was killing them. The reaction of then Jugoslavia was to send in the army and increase police forces. The local government was dismissed and almost all albanians were fired from their jobs (Police, Teachers, Doctors, Government etc.) Mass arrests, police beatings and show trials were going since 1981 and intesified after 1986. This lead to the referendum. The increase of force against a wast majority of the population after the referendum who had to live as second class citizens in an serb apartheid system lead ultimately to the war.

It was not a speratist movement of a small group but a revolution of 95% of the population against occupation and repression.

No Nikolle, you are missing the point. External threats to a country's sovereignty will be guarded by its defence forces. It has been confirmed by Nuland that the US invested in Kosovo's independence starting 1996, therefore, the military option was expected. There were separatists in Kosovo for decades, as there are all over the world. No one was killing them. In fact, there were separatist elements designated as terrorists by the US.

Obtaining independence through force was the intention of the US and UK. I would love to see an independent inquiry take place and the only person brave enough to do that would be Corbyn.

William UK

pre 7 godina

If the US has been investing in Kosovo's independence for 20 years, it means they started in 1996, well before the bombing campaign. Essentially, it means they always had the intention of destabilising the region to achieve their goals. The humanitarian argument, thus does not hold. Sovereignty of all countries are guarded with their defence forces.

"I also told her (Nuland) that it's very interesting that I heard the same from Lavrov, who said Russia was in favor of Ukraine's sovereignty - but without Crimea. You see how different the interpretations are of various principles and terms," remarked Dacic.

Where are the different principles? It's the same: Russia and the US both support ethnic separatists and don't respect the territorial integrity of sovereign states when it's in their interest while they both claim to have principled stands in other cases.

With one difference: Russia even grabbed the land, while Kosovo did not become the 51th state of the USA (and only has camp Bondsteel)

When i hear all the scum talk about Serbia forfeiting Kosovo due to human mistreatment then i know its just a weak and pathetic reason the U.S used to illegally declare Kosovo independent.
So when Kosovo Albanians say we would never consider coming backto Serbia. Consider this, you have never left you brainwashed fools.
We know U.S interest does not care for Albanians it cares for global strategic military bases and what they can remove ftom Trepica mine. You silly Albanians honestly think they care for you???
They care for U.S.A world domination.

the truth : If US tells Russia that they will recognize Crime as part of Russia, Lavrov will notify his counterpart from US , to bring the Kosova matter to UNSC immediately and will vote pro.

In the Russian society there’s a total consensus that we do not bargain Crimea because the issue is closed. So Putin and his ministers are responsible only for how we secure our people on the peninsula and how we develop economic projects here. Basta ! Lavrov has no maneuver to even discuss the issue. Simply because it exist only in the imagination of western politicians and their media artillery. That is the bitter but the real truth.


serbs 0 birth rate : Serbia's birth rate is 0-1 baby and Albanians have at least 1 baby....so Kosovo is gone.....Serbia the same nobody is having kids so it will disappear also in the near future...

Don’t worry about that as your birth rate is little better. As soon as Serbs feel a real threat they will hopefully be back to their main job. At least they will seek for the help of the Club in the east where we have no more problems with the pregnants on our streets. There were times when Serbs helped us to inhabit DIKOE POLE in Ukraine so we can help them if KiM is depopulated. Because Kosovo is turning into DIKOE POLE today.

(Peter The Rocky, 14 July 2016 17:07)

Dude please, stop spoiling yourself everytime you come here. You live in the United States so your opinions on a place you've never been to are meaningless. The majority of Albanians in Kosovo just want a better life without all that Greater Albanian bullshit, and the minute anyone has a chance to leave the region for Western Europe, or North America like you, they will and won't ever look back. That's why they wanted independence as early as 1981 and that's what they thought independence in 2008 would bring them. This false Albanian patriotism linked with anti-Serbian sentiment is old, worn out, and only believed by the exceptionally stupid - and again usually from people like you who can troll away from a Western country without any consequences. When it came time to fight to the last man and woman in 1999, they fled towards the nearest border, so stop with promises no one believes.

Forget linking with Albania, in fact forget Greater Albania altogether. It ain't gonna happen. Just live your life like a normal human being without trying to be a dick to the people living next to you.

NATO Illegal War on FR Yugoslavia 1999 - based on deceit and lies of WMG (Wearabouts of Mass graves) that never was.

1999 was a practice run for the political & media spun lies that enabled 2003 deceit! there was no humanitarian justification just lies, damned lies and statistics!

Conor Foley Amnesty international humanitarian worker "I followed the Kosovo crisis very closely, and from very close up, and spent a long time trying to find accurate figures.

Two years after the war had ended Human Rights Watch documented 3,453 killings by Serbian or Yugoslav government forces while the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) had exhumed approximately 4,300 bodies. Kosovo is a small place and was very thoroughly investigated. I have spoken to dozens of human rights and war crimes investigators and most use 5,000 as a working figure. Are you sure that we are all wrong?

However, your claim that "hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Albanians" were expelled from their homes before the start of NATO air strikes is most definitely incorrect. This happened after the start of the bombing campaign, which is more than a minor detail, given the rest of your argument. Sorry to repeat myself, but the death toll was in the hundreds before Nato intervened."

What it all boils down to is, would the inhabitants of The Republic Of Kosova "some 2 million, a 97% majority" ever consider going back to being a part of Serbia after all the atrocities Serbia carried out on the mostly unarmed civilian population of Kosova ? Answer, HELL NO!!!

Not even if hell was to freeze over, as the Kosovare population would fight to the last man & woman!!!

If anything, a referendum should be held in The Republic Of Kosova, it should ask the inhabitants of Kosova if they would like to Reunify with Albania, or would they like to go back to being reoccupied & ruled, governed by Serbia? This is what needs to happen now!!!

Crimea organized a referendum and so should The Republic Of Kosova!!!

The argument is posed falsely. History says that Crimea belongs to Russia AND Kosovo belongs to Serbia. Both are true. And both are just claims.

the truth : If US tells Russia that they will recognize Crime as part of Russia, Lavrov will notify his counterpart from US , to bring the Kosova matter to UNSC immediately and will vote pro.

In the Russian society there’s a total consensus that we do not bargain Crimea because the issue is closed. So Putin and his ministers are responsible only for how we secure our people on the peninsula and how we develop economic projects here. Basta ! Lavrov has no maneuver to even discuss the issue. Simply because it exist only in the imagination of western politicians and their media artillery. That is the bitter but the real truth.


serbs 0 birth rate : Serbia's birth rate is 0-1 baby and Albanians have at least 1 baby....so Kosovo is gone.....Serbia the same nobody is having kids so it will disappear also in the near future...

Don’t worry about that as your birth rate is little better. As soon as Serbs feel a real threat they will hopefully be back to their main job. At least they will seek for the help of the Club in the east where we have no more problems with the pregnants on our streets. There were times when Serbs helped us to inhabit DIKOE POLE in Ukraine so we can help them if KiM is depopulated. Because Kosovo is turning into DIKOE POLE today.

I DIDNT MEAN TO HURT BOTH OF YOU BUT PLEASE BE REALISTIC.

Dude please, stop spoiling yourself everytime you come here. You live in the United States so your opinions on a place you've never been to are meaningless. The majority of Albanians in Kosovo just want a better life without all that Greater Albanian bullshit, and the minute anyone has a chance to leave the region for Western Europe, or North America like you, they will and won't ever look back. That's why they wanted independence as early as 1981 and that's what they thought independence in 2008 would bring them. This false Albanian patriotism linked with anti-Serbian sentiment is old, worn out, and only believed by the exceptionally stupid - and again usually from people like you who can troll away from a Western country without any consequences. When it came time to fight to the last man and woman in 1999, they fled towards the nearest border, so stop with promises no one believes.

Forget linking with Albania, in fact forget Greater Albania altogether. It ain't gonna happen. Just live your life like a normal human being without trying to be a dick to the people living next to you.

Nulands phallic US foreign policy is not only focused on penetrating the European Uterus, but to paraphrase the esteemed US diplomat, it has been forcibly raping the former Yugoslavia for 20 years.

No Nikolle, you are missing the point. External threats to a country's sovereignty will be guarded by its defence forces. It has been confirmed by Nuland that the US invested in Kosovo's independence starting 1996, therefore, the military option was expected. There were separatists in Kosovo for decades, as there are all over the world. No one was killing them. In fact, there were separatist elements designated as terrorists by the US.

Obtaining independence through force was the intention of the US and UK. I would love to see an independent inquiry take place and the only person brave enough to do that would be Corbyn.

Here are 30 articles archived from major American newspapers documenting efforts to destabilize Kosovo in the 1970's and 1980's (years before Milosevic even came to power).

The drive to independence was a textbook example of a well crafted, planned, and orchestrated attempt across numerous generations.

When i hear all the scum talk about Serbia forfeiting Kosovo due to human mistreatment then i know its just a weak and pathetic reason the U.S used to illegally declare Kosovo independent.
So when Kosovo Albanians say we would never consider coming backto Serbia. Consider this, you have never left you brainwashed fools.
We know U.S interest does not care for Albanians it cares for global strategic military bases and what they can remove ftom Trepica mine. You silly Albanians honestly think they care for you???
They care for U.S.A world domination.

Nice story Gjon, there are many similar stories around the world where people don't gain independence but their governments are truly killing citizens with separatist desires. Look at Ukraine, Turkey and many other places, even the Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia didn't gain independence.

It has much more to do with world power policies, geopolitical agendas and US hegemony playing games of divide and conquer, destabilising regions to gain regimes that support said policies and agendas.

(William UK, 15 July 2016 11:49)

You forgot that Kosovo held a referendum in 1991 where 95% of Kosovo population voted for independence. It is absolutely not true that no one was killing them. The reaction of then Jugoslavia was to send in the army and increase police forces. The local government was dismissed and almost all albanians were fired from their jobs (Police, Teachers, Doctors, Government etc.) Mass arrests, police beatings and show trials were going since 1981 and intesified after 1986. This lead to the referendum. The increase of force against a wast majority of the population after the referendum who had to live as second class citizens in an serb apartheid system lead ultimately to the war.

It was not a speratist movement of a small group but a revolution of 95% of the population against occupation and repression.

Serbia should tell Nuland that if she wants it, she needs to forcibly take it away or to take it away with open blackmail for the world to see.

" Sovereignty of all countries are guarded with their defence forces." Not really, they're guided when citizens feel part of that country. You don't guard your sovereignty by killing civilians

William UK

pre 7 godina

If the US has been investing in Kosovo's independence for 20 years, it means they started in 1996, well before the bombing campaign. Essentially, it means they always had the intention of destabilising the region to achieve their goals. The humanitarian argument, thus does not hold. Sovereignty of all countries are guarded with their defence forces.

The US of Piss and Wind is exactly just that. All hot air and nothing to show for any of its efforts so far.

The US sees Serbia without Kosovo and Crimea without Russia and don't forget the South China Seas without China,, but in all cases failure after failure. Serbia was not supposed to come even close to negotiations with the EU without recognition, but here we are no recognition and talks are commencing.

Perhaps some modicum of success might come Washington's way if they get ride of people like Viki Nuland. Can anyone imagine a State Dept filled with Nuland types? The US can thank its affirmative action policies of appointing incompetents to high positions due to gender or race requirements.

Where are the different principles? It's the same: Russia and the US both support ethnic separatists and don't respect the territorial integrity of sovereign states when it's in their interest while they both claim to have principled stands in other cases.

With one difference: Russia even grabbed the land, while Kosovo did not become the 51th state of the USA (and only has camp Bondsteel)
