Sure, and Serbia is not Serbian. I see it as Roman land with illegal aliens and stolen by Serbs. So, I'm not sure what your point is lol
(icj1, 4 December 2016 16:02)

If the rest of Serbia was stolen from the Romans then Kosovo, with its illegal aliens, falls into the same category, so what is your point?

Serbia will have to face reality sooner or later. It was over for them the day Kosovo declared independence.
(zxcvbnm, 2 December 2016 11:41)


Quite true, in fact, Kosova became independent March 1999 when Serbia refused to sign onto the Rambouillet Peace accords. Consequently, Serbia suffered the humiliation of Humanitarian Bombing which resulted in turning it into a rump pariah entity.

Well, you came up with the nonsensical concept of "negative GDP", not me lol So, it appears you are saying that it was your Toilet Paper Diploma that enabled you to develop this weird thing called "negative GDP" that only you know what it means :)

Negative GDP is a commonly used term. For example the ABC recently published a headline "Australia at risk of negative GDP after business investment fall".

If the announcement is coming from the province of Kosovo, then you simply cannot believe it. There have already been numerous so-called 'recognitions' that cannot be verified and usually have been implemented unilaterally from the province's 'government'. Many nations on their list have never accepted the declaration however have been placed as countries that have recognized. The problem is that many countries simply don't care and don't bother to verify whether they have been put on the list.

Cry me a river, i don't give a f*** about Palestine and their "struggle". They are irrelevant to us. Kosova is a part of us and always been and always will be Everything else is irrelevant bs. I don't care or feel sorry for the others. I don't care about Ukraine or Crimea either. And i certainly don't care about serbs and their pathetic sob stories as well.
You have no business in Kosova. It's Albanian territory and albanian land. End of that discussion. Bye bye

Haitian : Actually, Suriname recognized Kosova … Kosova is in a much better situation than Palestine.

How can you control everything from your island? Better tell us why the history of Haiti starts in the 19 century? You know nothing about the land you living on and talk of other countries. What do you know about life the Israeli colony of Palestine? Or do you know that the Brits and the Dutch with their straight sails could reach Surinam’s (Suri Ham) before the fall of the 18 century? The rose of winds and the streams would deliver them directly to Spain …

(sidi, 2 December 2016 17:15)

Trump wanted ground troops to act as peace keepers. If you look at his interview on Larry King, he says it's horrible what NATO is doing to Serbia and the damage they are causing. He felt that ground troops would have acted better as keeping the peace on both sides instead of picking to bomb on behalf of a terrorist organization such as the KLA.

And really? "The Jews" are supporting Albanians so much that they can't get Israel to recognize "kosovo*", but they will somehow get Trump to stand on your side? Get real. And yea, Trump spoke out against American intervention and failed attempts at nation-building (i.e. in the Balkans) but he didn't speak about Kosovo-Metohija specifically because that is not a theme or topic of discussion in the U.S. anymore.

Also, why did Thaci and Rama interfere in the U.S. democratic process by endorsing Hillary if Trump is supposedly a big friend of the Albanians? You knwo Rama was the only head of state to do that? There has to be a reason.

Of course under the wall of fatal news the Whites need something that will encourage them to wait for the inevitable sentence next year. So they feel joy about Singapore spot on the other end of the planet. it’s quite natural that they seek for any positive news but it reminds me an old anecdote.

- Покойник перед смертью потел?
- Потел, батюшка.
- Это очень хорошо!

- was the dead man sweating before he died?
- he was father.
- it’s very good !

If seriously times when you could steal the province and paint it map on your flag to burn the bridges are gone forever. You know it and we know it. so best if you care what Serbs think about it but not the indo-chinese city in the end of geography. Guess 50:50 is a good formula to divide the lands.

Most of the Western countries have recognized RK as an independent state right and thats enough fo RK to move ahead and prosper as a country. I do belive RK diplomata and most of polical cast are complete nubs that are full on corruption amd dont give a shit about their own country anymore. Anyway it wont matter much anymore how many new countries will recognize Republic of Kosava but what matters is WHEN Russia as a permanent member of the UN security council WILL accept the RK Independence. Many of my Serbian neighbours may say Nay that wont ever happen, We and russian are brother BUT there is no brotherhood in Diplomacy. It will take some time maybe a decade or two but at the END reason wins and USA with Russia will deal on this, usually with the normal type of diplocay "I give you this, you let me that"
At the end my Serbian brothers both you and us are just a monopoly game land when some big dudea throw the game darts.
All we can do is live the present and stop hating each-other for something that our compatriots have done to each others time or ages ago.

Interesting comments but I don't think this will make any difference.

To make a difference from the EU perspective, you'll need all of the EU to recognise (Greece, Romania, Cyprus, Spain and Slovakia).

From the UN perspective, you'll need Russia and China. Anything else is mere decoration with not much significance.

Personally, the above is extremely unlikely so the status will remain in limbo. I doubt Kosovo will ever become a fully recognised state. Better for the politicians and people to move onto something more constructive. Normalisation negotiations seem to be producing results.

Yeah, 40 years in isolation. Kosovo claims to have 113 recognitions, yet it's no closer to the UN than Northern Cyprus, and only half as prosperous. Another empty recognition to make a few people happy and give then some good news. You're no closer to the UN nor the EU. Same as Palestine, which has more recognitions and deserves statehood twice as much as you. Wake me when you get a recognition from Russia. Until then, you still need someone to sponsor you to speak in the Security Council.

Actually, based on the current rate, to get to 130 it will take more than 15 years. You have to wait all the way in December to get your first recognition of 2016. And we have seen the Albanians lie about recognitions in the past i.e. Gambia and Nigeria. So it would be wise for Serbia to double check every country's true position on the matter. Either way, I will take partial recognition given the strong Western lobbying you ha(d)ve. That is the only reason why you have as many countries as you do. But even that wasn't enough to get you full recognition. Somewhere in between a Northern Cyprus and Palestine. But things are changing. Strongly doubt the new U.S. administration will put half as much money and effort lobbying for you as the previous ones. Look out for political changes in France come April and in three days a very pro-Serbian presidential candidate may just take office.
(Ari Gold, 2 December 2016 13:03)

Actually, Suriname recognized Kosova in July this year, but I'll take two recognitions a year considering that at least 110 UN countries recognize Kosova. Also Kosova and Northern Cyprus control their countries, Palestine doesn't. Israel is able to build where ever it wants in Palestine. Can Serbia or Southern Cyprus build or control what goes on in Kosova or Northern Cyprus? No they cannot. So yes, Palestine might have slightly more recognition than Kosova but it cannot exercise its authority like Kosova. Kosova is in a much better situation than Palestine.

- Покойник перед смертью потел?
- Потел, батюшка.
- Это очень хорошо!

- was the dead man sweating before he died?
- he was father.
- it’s very good !

If seriously times when you could steal the province and paint it map on your flag to burn the bridges are gone forever.

How can you control everything from your island? Better tell us why the history of Haiti starts in the 19 century? You know nothing about the land you living on and talk of other countries. What do you know about life the Israeli colony of Palestine? Or do you know that the Brits and the Dutch with their straight sails could reach Surinam’s (Suri Ham) before the fall of the 18 century?

Actually, based on the current rate, to get to 130 it will take more than 15 years. You have to wait all the way in December to get your first recognition of 2016. And we have seen the Albanians lie about recognitions in the past i.e. Gambia and Nigeria. So it would be wise for Serbia to double check every country's true position on the matter. Either way, I will take partial recognition given the strong Western lobbying you ha(d)ve. That is the only reason why you have as many countries as you do. But even that wasn't enough to get you full recognition. Somewhere in between a Northern Cyprus and Palestine. But things are changing. Strongly doubt the new U.S. administration will put half as much money and effort lobbying for you as the previous ones. Look out for political changes in France come April and in three days a very pro-Serbian presidential candidate may just take office.

Serbia reject the unilateral declaration of its southern province's independence, made in 2008, and considers it a violation of its territorial integrity.

Serbia how many times must you be reminded that you lost the right to govern or have any kind of sovereignty over Kosovo and her people!!!

Actually, Suriname recognized Kosova in July this year, but I'll take two recognitions a year considering that at least 110 UN countries recognize Kosova. Also Kosova and Northern Cyprus control their countries, Palestine doesn't. Israel is able to build where ever it wants in Palestine. Can Serbia or Southern Cyprus build or control what goes on in Kosova or Northern Cyprus? No they cannot. So yes, Palestine might have slightly more recognition than Kosova but it cannot exercise its authority like Kosova. Kosova is in a much better situation than Palestine.

Think like this. Northen Cyprus have been only recognized by ONE un state only and yet they managed to keep their independence free under 40 years.
(zxcvbnm, 2 December 2016 11:41)

Yeah, 40 years in isolation. Kosovo claims to have 113 recognitions, yet it's no closer to the UN than Northern Cyprus, and only half as prosperous. Another empty recognition to make a few people happy and give then some good news. You're no closer to the UN nor the EU. Same as Palestine, which has more recognitions and deserves statehood twice as much as you. Wake me when you get a recognition from Russia. Until then, you still need someone to sponsor you to speak in the Security Council.

Think like this. Northen Cyprus have been only recognized by ONE un state only and yet they managed to keep their independence free under 40 years. Almost same with Taiwan. Kosovo have been recognized by 113 states and have established full diplomatic relations with them. Serbia will never get Kosovo back no matter how much they whine and cry for it. When more than half of the world has recognized Kosovo as an free and independent nation and state and have established diplomatic, political, economic and military relations with Republic of Kosovo there is no going back now. 113 states will be 130 states soon and 130 states will become 160 states etc etc. Serbia will have to face reality sooner or later. It was over for them the day Kosovo declared independence.

Cry me a river, i don't give a f*** about Palestine and their "struggle". They are irrelevant to us. Kosova is a part of us and always been and always will be Everything else is irrelevant bs. I don't care or feel sorry for the others. I don't care about Ukraine or Crimea either. And i certainly don't care about serbs and their pathetic sob stories as well.
You have no business in Kosova. It's Albanian territory and albanian land. End of that discussion. Bye bye

If the announcement is coming from the province of Kosovo, then you simply cannot believe it. There have already been numerous so-called 'recognitions' that cannot be verified and usually have been implemented unilaterally from the province's 'government'. Many nations on their list have never accepted the declaration however have been placed as countries that have recognized. The problem is that many countries simply don't care and don't bother to verify whether they have been put on the list.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Enver Hoxhaj on Thursday announced on Twitter that Singapore had recognized Kosovo "as a sovereign and independent state."

------------

Yes he did announce this via his Twitter account but I get the feeling that you're reporting this as the source for recognition to undermine its reliability. What you could have done is stated that:

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore announced through their official website that they've established official diplomatic relations with Kosovo". This would have been a more reliable source than Twitter.

Trump wanted ground troops to act as peace keepers. If you look at his interview on Larry King, he says it's horrible what NATO is doing to Serbia and the damage they are causing. He felt that ground troops would have acted better as keeping the peace on both sides instead of picking to bomb on behalf of a terrorist organization such as the KLA.

And really? "The Jews" are supporting Albanians so much that they can't get Israel to recognize "kosovo*", but they will somehow get Trump to stand on your side? Get real. And yea, Trump spoke out against American intervention and failed attempts at nation-building (i.e. in the Balkans) but he didn't speak about Kosovo-Metohija specifically because that is not a theme or topic of discussion in the U.S. anymore.

Also, why did Thaci and Rama interfere in the U.S. democratic process by endorsing Hillary if Trump is supposedly a big friend of the Albanians? You knwo Rama was the only head of state to do that? There has to be a reason.

@ Peter the Rock - while Beograd is wheeling & dealing in the business world, making deals left and right, you think Kosovo youth is going to sit around waiting to be recognized? Are U kidding? Ukraina, who is MUCH more industrialized and bigger than Kosovo, can't keep world powers from controling them and U think Kosovo can? I work with BOTH, Srbs & Albanians...we all see the same - only together, with mutual agreements, will there be peace. I understand your love for Kosovo...I am same for Srbija. Nothing wrong with that. Albanians feel screwed by Srbs, Srbs feel screwed by the world...not to mention all the other conflicts in the world that everyone feels slighted and looking for justice.

Most of the Western countries have recognized RK as an independent state right and thats enough fo RK to move ahead and prosper as a country. I do belive RK diplomata and most of polical cast are complete nubs that are full on corruption amd dont give a shit about their own country anymore. Anyway it wont matter much anymore how many new countries will recognize Republic of Kosava but what matters is WHEN Russia as a permanent member of the UN security council WILL accept the RK Independence. Many of my Serbian neighbours may say Nay that wont ever happen, We and russian are brother BUT there is no brotherhood in Diplomacy. It will take some time maybe a decade or two but at the END reason wins and USA with Russia will deal on this, usually with the normal type of diplocay "I give you this, you let me that"
At the end my Serbian brothers both you and us are just a monopoly game land when some big dudea throw the game darts.
All we can do is live the present and stop hating each-other for something that our compatriots have done to each others time or ages ago.

Interesting comments but I don't think this will make any difference.

To make a difference from the EU perspective, you'll need all of the EU to recognise (Greece, Romania, Cyprus, Spain and Slovakia).

From the UN perspective, you'll need Russia and China. Anything else is mere decoration with not much significance.

Personally, the above is extremely unlikely so the status will remain in limbo. I doubt Kosovo will ever become a fully recognised state. Better for the politicians and people to move onto something more constructive. Normalisation negotiations seem to be producing results.

Quite true, in fact, Kosova became independent March 1999 when Serbia refused to sign onto the Rambouillet Peace accords. Consequently, Serbia suffered the humiliation of Humanitarian Bombing which resulted in turning it into a rump pariah entity.
