"That's right nobody can give us that. This is why we take it. We take it instead of expecting to be given anything. Simple. Don't like it? You going to have to send tanks? Freedom is something we don't negotiate with dictator leftovers. Freedom is something we fight for. We are in Kosova. You want it? Come take it away from us. When the last Albanian dies in Kosova is when you can do whatever you want with it. Until then you can keep fantasizing. Simple."
- Serbia vs Kosova? I'll take those odds ANY DAY!, heck... I'll even let you throw Albania and Bosnia on your side just for fun. Serbia would mop the floor with the 3 of you. How long did the KLA last last time vs just 10,000 MUP forces?... If i recall, they had total control of Kosovo within 72 hrs and even accidentally crossed into Albania? Good times! :)
Hope you like camping again next time around :)

The story goes like this;
2 ladies are arguing over 1 baby , both claiming to be the mother.
It is decided that they will cut the baby and each get part of it.
One lady agrees and 1 disagrees.
The baby is given to the mother who doesn't agree to the split of the baby.
A real mother will never ever split her baby.
Kosov is the baby.
Prishtina says no split of kosov
Serbia says you take some we take some
Who's acting lime the real mother?
If you cannot figure out this story, ask in church or mosque. All religious leaders of every faith know this story.
Now everyone can resume calling me an organ stealer mafia Albanian troll or whatever the insult of the day is.

"this government is far less pro-european than the past was." I kept looking for the punchline, but could not find it.
The last govt were running to the EU at a fast pace, this govt decided it would be better to use bicycles to get there quicker.

Think that referendum was held last year when you elected a proEuropean govt. After all that was the main topic of the election in which basically the non European parties claimed what 5%of the vote.
(think again, 24 January 2013 13:36)
We elected Nikolic because we didnt want a pro-european president like Tadic was and this government is far less pro-european than the past was. SNS is biggest party in Serbia and they are not pro-european. Even if the government would be pro-european it would still take a referendum to enter eu, the government election has nothing to do with that thats a totally different issue.

Next time you wonder why NATO is committed to staying in Kosovo, just read your own comment. Also the reason the west will never allow Kosovo to be a part of Serbia again.

You need not worry your little brain, Serbia will never be allowed to join the EU as long as she encourages anti-European values in her people. However, Ari, you have no idea of how the people of Serbia think since, obviously, you have never been there. You are a "wanna be" Serb, but have no real connection with Serbia. Like MikeC, you probably do not even speak the Serbian language and know little of her true history.
As far as Kosova is concerned, She has been independent for some five years, and no matter what Serbia does or thinks, matters little. Serbia is powerless to affect Kosova in any meaningful way.
(The Count of Kosova, 24 January 2013 05:29
As a serbian citizen Id say that Ari is absolutely right, if a referendum was held today in Serbia wed definitely say no to the EU, just look at Greece, Spain and Portugal. The day kosovo gets a un seat then it will be independent, and that is NEVER.
When it comes to "anti-european values" I guess you consider burning churches and monesteries, organ-harvesting and terrorizing civilian serbs on a daily basis as european values?

(justhetruth, 24 January 2013 01:25)
Ok, i took me some time to understand what you wanted to say. And you miss understood the point. In order for any country to be accepted in the UN, Security Council must be unanimous in accepting it. Considering that Russia is a part of UN security council, she alone can stop Kosovo from gaining a seat. The only way to change her mind, is for Serbia to ask her to vote "yes". And that's what Nikolic meant when he said what he said.

Anyway, I'd rather Kosovo i Metohija not to be an independent member of the UN than Serbia be in the EU. In fact, Euroskepticism is (much like most countries in Europe) dramatically on the rise in Serbia. In fact there are many who even if the occupation of Kosovo i Metohija ended this very day would still not join the EU. I don't blame em.

How is that possible when prime minister dacic talks of a Kosovo UN seat? Does Serbia oppose Kosovo independence or not? Well dacic supports it!!

Ari Gold
Who in the hell are you, to make statements like that. There are lots, and lots of people in Germany who think like that, and not not just here we are a majortiy who thinks like that. It is the same in most European countries. Serbia has a real bad image in Europe, be aware of that.

Watching how albanians rampage through Kosovo I don't think Serbia needs to keep Kosovo out of the UN. Albanians are doing that job themselves.

I've got news for you Nicolic. Kosova can and is preventing Serbia's accession in the EU. Maybe we have a few friends of our own who can block you there. And you want EU more than we want UN - UN is after all just a talking forum, with plenty of poor countries that didn't become any richer by joining it. That's why you are negotiating. But you're still way off. The day when you'll propose a solution that is based on the equality of our people, might be a date when we're closer to any agreement. So try your solutions in Presheva first, and then we'll see how you like it.
(, 23 January 2013 19:22) -
Of course we will be in the EU. Of course we will never recognize the independence of Kosovo and Metohija,” Nikolić stressed.
Of course you are an idiot. *irony on* Serbia can "block" Kosovo's UN accession just as Kosovo can "block" Serbia's EU accession. *irony off*
What a clown...

Maybe not, but Serbia still have powerful friends with veto power in UNSC that are not led by low impulses and not instructed by Serbian opposition parties with the only aim, just to criticize president, even against their own interest.
(Anna, 23 January 2013 16:58)
Well, how about veto powers in the EU when it comes to the final vote. I can guarantee you that especially my country, German, but also otheres like Holland, France, England, Austria, and a few more will veto Serbia, if it doesn't come to terms with an independant Kosovo. Don't you think that the governments in the rest of Europe listen to the BS that comes out of your country, it sounds just like the stuff Milosevic came up with. Do you really think they are so stupid, and don't look through that.....

"US,GB&France pro Kosova
China will abstain
Russia will use veto"
(Ardi Asllani, 23 January 2013 17:33)
No, there won't be a veto at all: The US embassy in Pristina will 'recommend' in advance to the 'Kosovo government' not even to try to apply for an UN membership, to avoid a shameful refusal.

" to enable Albanians to exercise their rights you get by being a majority..."
-- We enabled ourselves the moment we decided to fight against your Serb terrorist goons. Nobody is asking, has asked or will ask you to enable anyone. We enable our rights on our own and you can't do $ hit about it. It's simple.
"but those are not rights to a new state and nobody could give them that”.
That's right nobody can give us that. This is why we take it. We take it instead of expecting to be given anything. Simple. Don't like it? You going to have to send tanks? Freedom is something we don't negotiate with dictator leftovers. Freedom is something we fight for. We are in Kosova. You want it? Come take it away from us.

Russia will use veto, but the way Serbia is going even Russia will say : " we cannot be more Serbs than Serbs". I heard this phrase before from a Russian diplomat.

Maybe he should use a bus for his travels, I think the high altitudes are not having a good effect on his brain. He is flipping back and forth like a flag in the wind.
He is going to fix the Kosovo issue so that Serbia does not control Pristina nor that Pristina does not control the Serb neighborhoods of Kosovo. then he talks as if Kosovo is still going to be a part of Serbia. He also says that Serbia can block Kosovo in the UN and not will block it.
When the EU says it will not require Serbia to recognize Kosovo as a state, is true but they insist that SErbia extablish neighborly relations and that means Serbia cannot claim it either.

Only in Serbia can such treasonous statements be tolerated from a President. No worries, he said no to the UN and that's how it will stay which means Kosovo i Metohija will be in limbo.
Then finally, Tito's children will finally pass and Serbia can finally start to get some leadership.
