You are demented mate. Where is this Kosovo army? Where is the usual equipment for an army? No there are no freebies from the west its buy buy or go and jump.
Serbia could crush your rabble in 10 hours flat and if your stupid enough to think that Alboland will come to help out then with what? Its air force is flying paradactyls. You’re are a mental case.
This Kosova is something to behold; it has NO industry; NO tourism; NO agriculture to speak of; its major employer I the government which relies on EU aid yet its economic might that will ruin Serbia – where do you get this drivel from?
What happen to open border on 1 January? If that happens then Republika Srpska does the same, but let’s not digress. You have NOTHING to export.
Please tell all Kosovars NEVER to buy Serbian, please I am begging you.
What can Serbia do? Shut all access to Albo vehicles across Serbia; shut all energy supplies to Kosova then my favourite is stop all flows in the Ibar River and Pristina goes thirsty LOL.
Thick as two planks and proud of it too LOL.

Even if this is true, Kosovo is a sovereign nation and will have to decide, even if it's the US that is asking. If Kosovo decides to keep the tariffs and the US revokes support for the Kosovo army, the army has already been established. Serbia wouldn't dare attack, the Kosovo army should be enough to keep them away and Albania is not far if more support is needed.

If Kosovo decides to revoke the tariffs, they won't just revoke them without Serbia promising to sign the final recognition agreement.

Even if tariffs are revoked, they already served their purpose. While tariffs were in effect, Kosovo opened its borders with Albania and just today opened a customs office at the seaport of Durres, so they can import/export directly through the Adriatic without going through Albania's customs. The Kosovo-Serbia trade has been permanently damaged and I wouldn't count on Kosovars buying Serbian goods after this sensibilization campaign.

And lastly, the US ambassador in Prishtina, has most of the MPs on speed-dial. They don't need to issue threats, he can call enough MPs and cause a vote of non-confidence. The US uses tariffs as well, so why would they sanction Kosova for them?
(Fact Check, 14 January 2019 17:18)

The US can because they "believe" they're still a world power and a promoter of democracy - however, we know this is not true because there is always a back story for there involvement in global affairs. On the other hand, you (Albos) can't because you're an ISIS Sympathizing, Drug and Organ Trafficking, European Disrupting, Terrorist State! A bit of a difference... no?!?!

Whoever falls for this is a dummy.

If the US wanted anything changed in Kosova, it has many channels with which to communicate than making public threats on newspapers about sanctions. Sanctions about what?

Also, the tariffs were in place before Kosova created the army, if the US was not happy with them they would not have sent armaments to the K army to begin with. Funny to send weapons and then threatens to put sanctions.

And lastly, the US ambassador in Prishtina, has most of the MPs on speed-dial. They don't need to issue threats, he can call enough MPs and cause a vote of non-confidence. The US uses tariffs as well, so why would they sanction Kosova for them?

Serbia proper will have:

-The Trepca mining complex.
-Gazivoda lake.
-UN will stay according to 1244
-There will be Serbian cantons in all serbian church/monastary places including Patriach of Pec, Decani monastery and all serbian majority villages, enclaves and places.
-Kfor will stay to guard those places with international military. (Just like Nato are present in some countries after WW 2.)

Albanians will have:

-The rest of Kosovo as a country.
-Membership UN, Unesco etc etc.
-Maybe Presevo town, not Bujanovac and not the so called corridor south/north.

Your comment doesn't make sense.

Why do you need UN and 1244 in Serbia, if North Kosovo will be part of Serbia?
Secondly, if the remain of Kosovo will be a country,the Serbian minority will be treated like every minority in the world,means no special rights,no cantonisation and certainly no veto power in Kosovo parliament.

I don't know what's funnier: that Albanians are in denial over this, or whether the threat of sanctions is going to make anything worse since Kosovo is already sanctioned through international, economic, and diplomatic isolation. I mean, what could the US sanction Kosovo for when they don't invest there to begin with? And since forming an army is a dead in the water issue, having Washington revoke support for something NATO and the EU are already opposed to doesn't seem like anything drastic.

You can't take anything away when you've offered nothing in the first place :)

Total exaggeration of a suggestion to remove the taxes. If USA was so concerned or bothered by these taxes they would not have waited 2 months to so strongly be against it. All USA has said on the article is that Kosova should remove the taxes so the dialogue process can start. It is asking Albanians to make the first step so both parties can sit at the table.

Point 3 says: We ask for immediate suspension of tariffs imposed. The same tariffs will be reimposed if Serbia will fail to sign the agreement!
Point 5 says: If tariffs are not suspended, we will stop assisting KSF in security matter !

Now, I don't know if is true or not, but why has not been reported as is?
Pretty much I think it has to do at what RTK reported earlier about Russian secret service demanding from Vucic!

Serbia could crush your rabble in 10 hours flat and if your stupid enough to think that Alboland will come to help out then with what? Its air force is flying paradactyls. You’re are a mental case.
This Kosova is something to behold; it has NO industry; NO tourism; NO agriculture to speak of; its major employer I the government which relies on EU aid yet its economic might that will ruin Serbia – where do you get this drivel from?
What happen to open border on 1 January? If that happens then Republika Srpska does the same, but let’s not digress. You have NOTHING to export.
Please tell all Kosovars NEVER to buy Serbian, please I am begging you.
What can Serbia do? Shut all access to Albo vehicles across Serbia; shut all energy supplies to Kosova then my favourite is stop all flows in the Ibar River and Pristina goes thirsty LOL.

Well, if Kosova suspends the tariffs then within 2 months Serbia is recognising Kosova's independence.

Just pay attention, it is about suspending the tariffs.

Hm, something tells me that Putin is coming to Serbia - if he comes at all - to make the delusionist Vučić look less of a sore loser.

So, tariffs worked big time.

Total exaggeration of a suggestion to remove the taxes. If USA was so concerned or bothered by these taxes they would not have waited 2 months to so strongly be against it. All USA has said on the article is that Kosova should remove the taxes so the dialogue process can start. It is asking Albanians to make the first step so both parties can sit at the table.
Serbian propaganda twists things around to fit their agenda as that is how they survive their sad reality!

I told you!! The albanians keep loosing support on a almost daily basis. The albanians are brain washed by their leaders who want the people to be slaves under them. This because Haradinaj, Thaci and the other hillbillies like to have a cozy life.
The albanians, with their leaders are making fools out of themself all the time. They are first cocky, and then bitch slapped down in their shoes.
I sometimes feel sorry for the albanians when their leaders comes with carrots, which 99% of times are fake.
No, Kosovo is by no means a done deal. I would say the opposite actually.
I wrote some time ago how it will be in the future and I stand by this even more firm today. I ask you to cut the text and compare the reality with this text in, lets say 6-7 years.

"Serbia proper will have:

-From the river Ibar and north including Zubin Potok.
-The Trepca mining complex.
-Gazivoda lake.
-UN will stay according to 1244
-There will be Serbian cantons in all serbian church/monastary places including Patriach of Pec, Decani monastery and all serbian majority villages, enclaves and places.
-Kfor will stay to guard those places with international military. (Just like Nato are present in some countries after WW 2.)

Albanians will have:

-The rest of Kosovo as a country.
-Membership UN, Unesco etc etc.
-Maybe Presevo town, not Bujanovac and not the so called corridor south/north.

Your comment doesn't make sense.

Why do you need UN and 1244 in Serbia, if North Kosovo will be part of Serbia?
Secondly, if the remain of Kosovo will be a country,the Serbian minority will be treated like every minority in the world,means no special rights,no cantonisation and certainly no veto power in Kosovo parliament.

Check you sources because you are always wrong.

Staff, IF Kosova removes the taxes it will be with USA's involvement that has to guarantee that Serbia will recognize Kosova's Independence. So, hold off on your excitement as you don't what is being cooked yet. This is the beginning of the end. So long Mogherini and Vucic's unfulfilled agreement, there is new sheriff in town!!

Whoever falls for this is a dummy.

If the US wanted anything changed in Kosova, it has many channels with which to communicate than making public threats on newspapers about sanctions. Sanctions about what?

Also, the tariffs were in place before Kosova created the army, if the US was not happy with them they would not have sent armaments to the K army to begin with. Funny to send weapons and then threatens to put sanctions.

And lastly, the US ambassador in Prishtina, has most of the MPs on speed-dial. They don't need to issue threats, he can call enough MPs and cause a vote of non-confidence. The US uses tariffs as well, so why would they sanction Kosova for them?

Well, no matter if this is true or not - we all know that the Albanians are America's Lapdogs in the Balkans.

And the US won't be able to keep their influence on the current Level.

That means that naturally, the Albanians will have to soften their stance or lose it all.

I personally prefer the latter alternative.

pre 5 godina

For the sake of argument let say is true what Klan Kosova has reported! I read the 8 point, and I must say that b92 failed to mention every single one of them!
Point 3 says: We ask for immediate suspension of tariffs imposed. The same tariffs will be reimposed if Serbia will fail to sign the agreement!
Point 5 says: If tariffs are not suspended, we will stop assisting KSF in security matter !

Now, I don't know if is true or not, but why has not been reported as is?
Pretty much I think it has to do at what RTK reported earlier about Russian secret service demanding from Vucic!

Hoping that this is not a fake news,it would be a very good step coming from USA. In the same time it shows that it is not unconditional support of America to Albanians. Paradoxically, the so called Serbian friends, never ever took such a measure against Albanians.

I don't know what's funnier: that Albanians are in denial over this, or whether the threat of sanctions is going to make anything worse since Kosovo is already sanctioned through international, economic, and diplomatic isolation. I mean, what could the US sanction Kosovo for when they don't invest there to begin with? And since forming an army is a dead in the water issue, having Washington revoke support for something NATO and the EU are already opposed to doesn't seem like anything drastic.

You can't take anything away when you've offered nothing in the first place :)

For people such as Staff, sj, Watcher and others, I believe they do not consult legitimate sources. They only listen to or read Tanjug, RT or Sputnik and other unreliable sources, its no wonder they are in the dark. Unfortunately, this is why they are so easy to deceive coming from countries such a Serbia, Greece and Russia.

If Kadri Veseli thought up the idea of Tariffs for Serbia, then the US approved of it before it was put into action. The US, Kosova and Albania are on the same page, there should no doubt in your mind about this.

The west is reindustrialising Serbia and the latest two companies, which hare from the US to open shop are Amphenol Automotive Technology which will employ 1,000 Serbs and Aptiv Packard to employ about 2,000 people by 2020. These were proudly announced by their US CEOs.

The US can because they "believe" they're still a world power and a promoter of democracy - however, we know this is not true because there is always a back story for there involvement in global affairs. On the other hand, you (Albos) can't because you're an ISIS Sympathizing, Drug and Organ Trafficking, European Disrupting, Terrorist State! A bit of a difference... no?!?!

Even if this is true, Kosovo is a sovereign nation and will have to decide, even if it's the US that is asking. If Kosovo decides to keep the tariffs and the US revokes support for the Kosovo army, the army has already been established. Serbia wouldn't dare attack, the Kosovo army should be enough to keep them away and Albania is not far if more support is needed.

If Kosovo decides to revoke the tariffs, they won't just revoke them without Serbia promising to sign the final recognition agreement.

Even if tariffs are revoked, they already served their purpose. While tariffs were in effect, Kosovo opened its borders with Albania and just today opened a customs office at the seaport of Durres, so they can import/export directly through the Adriatic without going through Albania's customs. The Kosovo-Serbia trade has been permanently damaged and I wouldn't count on Kosovars buying Serbian goods after this sensibilization campaign.
