OK WHAY IF I SAY THAT SERBS AND MONTENEGRINS MADE 80% OF THE PARTIZANS ON THE BALKANS? WILL IT SATISFY YOU?

Well, say whatever you want dear - you don't have to satisfy me about anything lol I just pointed out that you should be ashamed for your comment on 26 January 2017 20:00 where you forgot the sacrifices of your 38 family members who bravely fought the Axis countries during WW2!

Do you understand that I know about WW2 100 times more than you do because I feel it on my skin?
(rote, 29 January 2017 15:59)

Of course you do, I never questioned that you are a brilliant historian. But next time don't forget that Russia, too, fought the Axis countries during WW2!

1/ Do you agree that the two Yugoslavian armies composed mostly of the Serbs fought the fascists 4 times longer than the US&Co did?
2/ Do you agree that before May 1944 on the battlefield the USSR had no ally other than the two Serbian armies?
3/ Do you agree that on the Balkans there was only one people who made WW2 it national war and a personal vendetta war?
4/ Do you agree that even if the 20 000 figure was correct even in this case the Shqiptars made 3-4% of the partizan movement on the Balkans while Serbs made at least 80% ?
5/ Do you understand that I know about WW2 100 times more than you do because I feel it on my skin?

In an Afghan anecdote (hekayat) a Camel was told that his neck was not straight (uh ta wail che ghara di kaga da) and he responded the with WHICH PART OF ME IS STRAIGHT (wa de wail che kum dzai mi sam dyi) ? It means that there's no sence to criticize part of something if the whole thing is wrong. It's about your comment full of bs statements and declarations. Be it so and we shall see which of was wrong.

My dear rote if you are not an expert on Balkan then you shouldn't talk, or better educate yourself. Russia have intention to help the wrong side again, the right side will wait its turn.... Is what happened in these centuries and it will happened again. No we won't give nothing. Those are not Serbian lands never were. I have the facts and you have not, you can't even convince neither yourself. Those churches were and still are in middle of Albanian villages, and Albanians protect them all even after convert in Muslims. So is to see for who were built! And no, forget it, Rama will negociate a sh..t we don't negociate our lands, a lot of Albanians in 500 years gived their life for it! So forget it! The Albanian people say NO! You have to kill us all, or we will have our turn soon or latter. Albania gov.had not learned yet that we never must live in peace, but she is arming herself now. To late! Hoxha know that this will happened but unfortunately he is dead, but another one will take its place. Serbia have no shame or respect the only language she understand is the language of fear, so is better to be armed to teath. Is not to late! 🖕🖕

Well I am not an expert in the Balkan wars but I know that de facto Albania did not exist at the time yet. So word STOLE is not good here. Besides only KIM is discussed here and no lands of Albania are questioned. Kosovo is the Holy Land of the Serbs and the Russians - axioma. So when you behave as THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL you go under the risk that the other side will accept your rules. See how fast the things are changed lately while Pristina behaves like 5 -7 years ago. Kosovo may be occupied in one day if Donbass army is involved. It will be a proxy war where Russia will not be involved directly. Maybe a couple of brigades from northern Caucasus to save the Muslims. If you remember peace came to Crimea when a Chechen batalion was deployed and the Tatars understood that jokes were over. So I think that Shqiptars should be not simply flexible but VERY FLEXIBLE. Otherwise you will have to face the Serbs and the Russians and nobody will come to help you. Even KFOR will abandon the region. Every next government in Belgrade will be more nationalistic so don't waste your time to reach a compromise. Maybe Moscow already told Belgrade to raise the stakes. The US will need several years to reload their guns and Russia may use the moment. Trust me I wouldn't like us to fight the Whites. Rama should seek peace in Belgrade to save the situation. Lands must be divided taking in account the regugees in Serbia and the whole town of Mitrovtsa plus our churches and monasteries.

Joni, we were never afraid of you, it was and is vice versa.
As far Serbs:
-in 7th century we have settled KosMet and Drim valley(modern N. Albania) by byzantine sources (you were mentioned for the first time in 11th century by the same sources);
-At the end of 17th century migration of Serbs and Albanian occupation of KosMet, central Serbia and even Bulgaria
-1912 liberation of KosMet (Bulgarians and Serbs send back Albanian occupants
Vojvodina was settled in 17th century by the same Serbs (you dont know that Slavs had lived in Panonian basin before arrival of Hungarians)

Can't we see we are just pawns for the west. All Balkan people are. They care nothing for us. Thaci speaks of people having self determination but yet why can't North Kosovo being self determine, why can't Bosnian Serbs. It is simple. The west needs an insurance policy just in case they need war in the Balkans. That is the ONLY reason they wont partion along ethnic lines because it would bring permanent peace and they cannot have that. They need minorities in Majority areas to flick the switch so easily just in case they need war, and we are so stupid that we allow them. Time for Balkans to unite in trade and peace. Time for us to expel the West and Russia too for that matter. We can solve this ourselves. Peacefully...

3/ Do you agree that on the Balkans there was only one people who made WW2 it national war and a personal vendetta war?

38 members of my family including my Grandpa have not returned from the fronts so I already knew the news. In one of our families father and 4 his sons were killed in this war ... So when I wrote it I meant the region of the Balkans where Serbs were the backbone of the resistance movement. And am aware that they cooperated with the Shqiptar partizans. In fact I do believe that things uniting you are bigger than those dividing you with the Serbs.

You tried both of those in 2001. In Presevo, you got your asses kicked by a joint NATO-VS counter-terrorism strike. In Macedonia the Europe intervened to shut that Greater Albania sh!t down and got you to sign the Ohrid Agreement.

Its not a secret anymore, the Russians have sold, and donated arms to Serbia to protect it self and will use them in the up coming months to regain Kosovo, no more support from the USA, Serbia's land was stolen and they will take it back forcefully as they should, the Albanian leadership in Kosovo needs to realize their days are numbered.

"Instead of calls for war from Serbia, I'm calling the Kosovo Serbs to peace and dialogue. Instead of ethnic and territorial partition I call on them to join NATO and the EU," Thaci told Deutsche Welle.

Can't we see we are just pawns for the west. All Balkan people are. They care nothing for us. Thaci speaks of people having self determination but yet why can't North Kosovo being self determine, why can't Bosnian Serbs. It is simple. The west needs an insurance policy just in case they need war in the Balkans. That is the ONLY reason they wont partion along ethnic lines because it would bring permanent peace and they cannot have that. They need minorities in Majority areas to flick the switch so easily just in case they need war, and we are so stupid that we allow them. Time for Balkans to unite in trade and peace. Time for us to expel the West and Russia too for that matter. We can solve this ourselves. Peacefully...

Well I am not an expert in the Balkan wars but I know that de facto Albania did not exist at the time yet. So word STOLE is not good here. Besides only KIM is discussed here and no lands of Albania are questioned. Kosovo is the Holy Land of the Serbs and the Russians - axioma. So when you behave as THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL you go under the risk that the other side will accept your rules. See how fast the things are changed lately while Pristina behaves like 5 -7 years ago. Kosovo may be occupied in one day if Donbass army is involved. It will be a proxy war where Russia will not be involved directly. Maybe a couple of brigades from northern Caucasus to save the Muslims. If you remember peace came to Crimea when a Chechen batalion was deployed and the Tatars understood that jokes were over. So I think that Shqiptars should be not simply flexible but VERY FLEXIBLE. Otherwise you will have to face the Serbs and the Russians and nobody will come to help you. Even KFOR will abandon the region. Every next government in Belgrade will be more nationalistic so don't waste your time to reach a compromise. Maybe Moscow already told Belgrade to raise the stakes. The US will need several years to reload their guns and Russia may use the moment. Trust me I wouldn't like us to fight the Whites. Rama should seek peace in Belgrade to save the situation. Lands must be divided taking in account the regugees in Serbia and the whole town of Mitrovtsa plus our churches and monasteries.

My dear rote if you are not an expert on Balkan then you shouldn't talk, or better educate yourself. Russia have intention to help the wrong side again, the right side will wait its turn.... Is what happened in these centuries and it will happened again. No we won't give nothing. Those are not Serbian lands never were. I have the facts and you have not, you can't even convince neither yourself. Those churches were and still are in middle of Albanian villages, and Albanians protect them all even after convert in Muslims. So is to see for who were built! And no, forget it, Rama will negociate a sh..t we don't negociate our lands, a lot of Albanians in 500 years gived their life for it! So forget it! The Albanian people say NO! You have to kill us all, or we will have our turn soon or latter. Albania gov.had not learned yet that we never must live in peace, but she is arming herself now. To late! Hoxha know that this will happened but unfortunately he is dead, but another one will take its place. Serbia have no shame or respect the only language she understand is the language of fear, so is better to be armed to teath. Is not to late! 🖕🖕
