  1. serbs are the worse people in earth. I think all serbs should go in Serbia. In addition, albanians need to go in kosovo. I feel bad for albanians live under serbs in Preshevo. Unite all albanians and you will see how strong are serbs.

  2. Interesting... Didn't know that you have to be of Serb ethnicity in order to have "the most rights" in Serbia! No wonder the rest of the ethnicities of former Yugoslavia couldn't live with the Serbs.

    As Orwell said it: " Some animals are more equal than others". This is true in Serbia.

    Albanians haven't got any monument in ohrid cos are newcomers in the Balkans.Albanians have been trying for long to build a history based on Illyrian tribes in order to legitimatise their land grab from their neighbours.They are as much ancient as you are Martian.

  6. Wrong. Serbs will have the most rights because they are in SERBIA. If you want the same rights as Serbs then stop with all the separatist bulls**t.

  9. Serbia did not learn any lesson at all from four wars they did which they lost. More force they use, smaller the country gets. They just started something that will hunt them for a long time. Wait and see.

  10. Serbs burn embassies. We don't. We didn't even touch their embassy in 1999 in the middle of the war. We shouldnt fall for that trap. Remember this isn't about that memorial at all. The memorial is the excuse and Serbia took the bait. This is about equal treatment of Presheva to N. Mitro and bringing focus to that issue. What has currently happened is that some focus has been brought to this issue. We are talking about it, ambassadors talk about this region. Those two coconuts ( dacic and nikolic) are desperate to show strength. They view sitting with Thaci as a sign of weakness and they feel the need to make up for that in other ways. Never resort to violence. Civil disobedience is what works in these cases. The actions should be kept in the same vein. Build an obelisk next time. This is about the end game not tit for tat moves, and for that imagery is a powerful tool. We want imagery like this to make it to make it to the front page of New York Times. Heavily armed forces with Serbian insignia in front of a stone memorial are what we want. Next time we place an elderly woman in that picture. That is the way to get for Presheva what N. Mitro Serbs have. Being hotheaded is counterproductive. The message we want the outside world to see is that we need to be treated the same as N. Mitro because we too don't feel safe in such a militarized environment. Look at this poor old Albanian lady crying in front of this Serb tank and all this excessive force for a few symbolic stones.

  11. Yet another attempt to internationalize the Albanians dreams of annexing southern Serbia, these people will not stop, they will provoke the opposition and then cry foul, enough is enough.. the Albanians already have 2 and a half countries to call home.. but they are very greedy and fanatical...

    Albanians always stirring the pot.. its all stupidity, whats the logic in building a memorial.. besides murdering people they didnt achieve anything..

  12. That is right. Belgrade took the bate and now live with it. North Mitro Serbs will have to get same treatment as Preshevo Albanians.

  14. Destani said that the Serbian government had shown that it “does not want Albanians in the Preševo Valley”.
    ===…==
    No, Serbian government has shown that it does not want the momument honouring killers of Serbs on Serbian soil.
    Albanians can stay, the monument had to go.

    You have drawn a very long bow by making that statement.

  15. "He said that the ethnic Albanians in the south would request, with the help of the international community, to have the same rights as Serbs in northern Kosovo."

    That is a MUST....That is what Thaci and his government need to clearly talk Dacic.
    (EA, 20 January 2013 16:21)

    My friend, please mind that both Presevo Valley and Kosovo are part of Serbia. Special rules for certian regions, like the Serbian province of Kosovo, are possible of course!
    Looking forward to your ideas for these Serbian regions and provinces!

  16. "Same rights as Serbs in northern Kosovo" -so total lack of freedom of movement without armed guard, children being attacked etc. etc. (Andy UK, 20. januar 2013 19:08)Belgrade administrates Northern Kosovo not Pristina. Kosovan Police can't even go to the North to perform their duties. Then people complain when there has been an incident but how can the Kosovan Police resolve issues and punish those responsible and bring them to justice if they can't even go to the North and investigate. Belgrade's institutons de facto administrate Northern Kosovo therefore it is Belgrade's responsibility not Pristina's.

    At least he was smart enough not to mention the 'rights' Serbs enjoy in southern Kosovo, i.e. holy sites desecrated, tombstones turned down, cars are stoned, property getting usurped by Serbs, getting arrested for 'looking suspicious' and so on

    LOL yeah that will definitely make you look like you've got the moral edge in the argument. Here's a tip. Try doing something other than causing mayhem for once whenever you've got a grudge against something :)

  20. Albanians in Serbia are free to protest the Serbian Government's actions, just as long as they do so peacefully; this is possible as Serbia is a democracy where the rule of law applies to all.

    No, the Serbian government only had shown that it doesn't want Albanians who glorify terrorists and murderers of policemen.

  25. "You actually think anyone in Europe or America would support a terrorist monument?"


    Founding Fathers of America are well celebrated. And most of Europe was founded on people who kicked the ass of the retards who were calling "terrorist" with out a single clue.


    "The only thing that remains for you to do is attack some serbian child or defenceless elderly serb as revange for a problem you albanians caused in the first place.
    (MikeC"


    Dude, you cant stop insane individuals, but when you have a state policy of thiefs and killers, you should say something. And the languege that has infected you, its not a curse from Albanians, but your own parents,same to those insane counterparts of your.


    Anyway all this issue is about private property, and public sector thiefs who use the most luxurious parts of it, and the others who pay.


    But communists who want to portray family on government, will never understand reason, facts, happiness.

    The difference is that when ROSU tried to enter north Mitro the other year they got their asses kicked. Now serbian MUP did the same in albanian dominated Presevo and no one could stop them. You albanians are a paper tiger. You shout and make threats but you are nothing but pathetic little creatures only capable of attacking the old and defenceless. Stick to what you do best. Find elderly serbs and gang up on them.

  29. Now that the memorial to a group of Albanian terrorists has been removed, we can expect Albanian attacks on elderly and defenseless Serbs, who are a minority in the area. Without Big Brother US to fight thier battles for them, it is obvious that the Albanians are helpless. Get ready, this is a sign of things to come.

  30. "Riza Halimi said that Serbia continued to solve issues with force instead of dialogue. "

    A pathetic comment by a pathetic alb politician. Serbia tried to negotiate a removal but you refused to. Just try to internationalize this issue. However, be prepared to be dissapointed. You actually think anyone in Europe or America would support a terrorist monument? The only thing that remains for you to do is attack some serbian child or defenceless elderly serb as revange for a problem you albanians caused in the first place.
