EP calls for abolition of EU visas for Kosovo

Please, please EU, adopt a visa liberation policy for KiM. You supported them, so please take them in now and let them drain your welfare systems, bring drugs in to your children, and steal anything that's not nailed down.... thanks in advance!!!

Good. It will drain Kosovo of Albanians faster. Let them be problems in Germany, Austria, Denmark, France, Netherlands, and Italy. Tens of thousands are leaving every year as it is.

What seems to be the issue here? I don't think Serbia has any objections for EU Visas for Albanians in Kosovo to align with Serbian citizens. Haridinaj should consider a 100% percent tax on all European imports until EU visa are formally granted.

Kosovo *is NOT COUNTRY, that is the main reason why they cannot have viza liberalization... But I feel like saying open the amfor gate and let them out.
But no, no no.
This is 2019 not 1999!The west knows differently.

The Last things EU nations needs is more crime and drain on they country they have enough problems with the Illigal migrants already.

Ditto to what Chi said....couldn't have said it better myself.

The truth, I'm afraid Ljiljana is right, Kosovo is not a country. Its an illegal entity propped up by some western nations for their own selfish interests and contrary to international law (see res 1244). Lets ask some questions; Is Kosovo a member of the UN? If it was a member it could be a sovereign nation. Is Kosovo in Inerpol, Unesco, Council of Europe, etc? No its not.
Kosovo is an illegal entity which more and more countries are revoking recognition of after the US bullied them into recognising. Hell, some nations never even recognised Kosovo but Pristina claimed they did.
So just by arresting a politician from Serbia does not give you the status of an sovereign country. The Djuric incident shows what a brutal and uneducated stone age tribe run Pristina. But for how long will this mafia be in Prostina???

Kosovo is not even a member of the UN, therefore not officially recognised as a state.
So how the EP can even contemplate visa free travel for a rogue state is beyond my comprehension

Hang on a minute! Didn't staff say just few days ago - while he was sharing the room with 16 other people and enjoying Vučić's impeccable English - that Brussels said no visa free travel for Kosovars? Nudge nudge.
(Tom L'Orizi, 28 March 2019 20:50)

Haha. You know nothing Tom. Dimitris was criticized here in Brussels yesterday to make this statement because its far far from certain. Many thought it was not good to promise something that will not been achieved.
There is still massive resistance and 21 countries are against. Five countries say that it is impossible due to the status of Kosvo, namely it is a province and provinces cannot obtain visas.
No, as you will experience, none of this will happen.
Now breakfast with eggs and bacon!

I don't think Serbia has any objections for EU Visas for Albanians in Kosovo to align with Serbian citizens.
(Jugoslavija, 28 March 2019 19:52)

Of course not. That's why Albanians visit the Serbian visa office in Gracanica every week to apply for a Serbian passport so they can travel out of Kosovo never to return. Funny how they suddenly become Serbian citizens again the minute they have a job prospect in Germany.

@ the ISIS bride calling herself "Glow"

EU countries have a long history of ignoring EP recommendations. Case in point: The MANY times over the past 6 years when EP called for EU countries who haven't already recognized "indupendient kosovhaha***" to do so. How has that worked out for you? Not too well huh? Anyways as I recall: immediately before the Syrian refugee crisis, the big problem in the EU was K-Albo refugees (100,000 fled Kosovo i Metohija over a 6 month period in fact). While I would certainly welcome another such exodus of K-Albos to the EU, I seriously doubt the EU would facilitate that happening by abolishing visas. But it doesn't hurt to dream...

Excellent... Please come to Germany... Germany needs and deserves all the Kosovo Albanians it can get... The more here, the merrier it will be for Germans. I just want to see Germans happy sharing their lives (and belongings and perhaps even organs) with Albanians from Kosovo.

Hang on a minute! Didn't staff say just few days ago - while he was sharing the room with 16 other people and enjoying Vučić's impeccable English - that Brussels said no visa free travel for Kosovars? Nudge nudge.

Tom L'Orizi....the report also says that some EU nations are strongly against visa free travel for K Albos.
Brussels can say what it likes but all EU nations have to give the green light before it happens.
I think you are jumping the gun big time. You seem to think that its a done deal....think again. Will not happen any day soon. But if by a miracle it does happen it will not be long before the visas are reinstated. Why??? Because most K Albos will go and not return.

Get ready for the mass exodus

Is that guy mad? Wait till it’s back under serbianncontrol before liberalizing your lands u less you want them to destroy and steal your property

Yeah it says the EP recommends visa liberalisation, as it's done a number of times in the past. The EU has to vote on it, which always is voted down. Learn to comprehend what you read, paisan :)

Chi accepting his loss in advance!👏👏
I guess the famous line that serbs here like to use that Albanians can't travel freely will no longer be a thing. Next one will be the Interpol. Don't worry Chi, Kosova has no need to throw its achievements in ya'll faces, we have plenty bigger and better things in our horizon. Good times ahead!!
(Glow, 28 March 2019 17:24)

Glow, on the contrary, you people are going backwards and sinking fast. It all started with your ridiculous 100% tax, and then you added an even more ridiculous platform. You've lost support from the West and you've irritated your US puppet masters. As much as you people love to cry victim, it was your politicians that came up with these blended moves. I guess all I can say for now is thanks... What are those achievements Glow? A semi, breakaway, narco terrorist state with only 50% of the world recognizing it - and this is with the US/West bulling about 40% of these countries. Sorry Glow,what you people, and your politicians, need to do is apologize to Serbia for the horror and chaos you have caused and maybe the old Serbian people will take you back in and feed you - however, we'll not fund 15 kid families anymore.....

"Serbia is shooting itself on the foot by getting countries to revoke Kosova's recognitions"- should ring the loudest bell to you as it was said by the German representative in EU. He holds Serbia's future in his hands, remember that.
(Glow, 29 March 2019 17:15) 

Ahaha glow you still here?? I will give you this- you are persistent and I genuinely respect that. The problem is I dont respect anything about your opinions so it cancels everything else out. I feel sorry for you because I know B92 is you whole world, you have to believe in something but let me tell you, coming to a Serbian site as often as you do paints a much bigger picture than anything you can say. It shows your desperate need to justify and be accepted by Serbs who dont give a rat's ass about you. You are someone begging for attention and you get it here, amongst Serbs. You're welcome :)

Glow, you like to convince yourself that the US is the mightiest nation on earth. But they have a match now. In fact there are 2. Russia and China.
You forget that the American state is over $23 trillion in debt...Let that sink in. And you think they care about Kosovo, Albania, Serbia or anyone else??? How utterly naive of you, its wishful thinking on your part.
Hell, the US wont even tackle N Korea because they have nuclear weapons... And you think they will take on Russia...???

It’s a Easy solution for the EU to calm any fears?

The EU can adopt a policy of liberalization with yearly quotas and time limits of 2-3 months! Maybe start off with 5000-15000 visas yearly and if any person over stays their visa a visa ban of a minimum of 5 years!

I would however stringently monitor the way that visas would be issued in order to make it fare for everyone and minimize any potential corruption!

Oh boy, would Radical-Serbia be red a mouthful of Rocks or what😂😂😂

Why are you so paranoid of Albanians?? Even though this article concerns the European Union and/or European Parliament my question is would you have similar assumptions of Kosovar-Albanians if they or at least if some of them intend to migrate to America and/or Canada?
(resident of Fredericton,New Brunswick,Canada, 28 March 2019 23:18

Resident, I would love for them to come to the US and Canada as well. I would love for both of these countries to realize what kind of people they supported in the 90's. Even though I live here, I would love to see the Albanians reek havoc in the West like they do everywhere they go. Don't think they're not doing the same thing in the US as other places in Europe. You know what I'm talking about... drug trade. I have yet to see an Albanian in the US owning a farm or legitimate business.

Staff,

Do you know if a new resolution can be passed to take away KiM's independent status at the UN? Just curious as I'm not familiar with the workings of this corrupt organization. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

@ butthurt Glow

Complaining about me? Awe what's wrong am I too close to the truth? Since you defend K-Albos (people who support ISIS) and have claimed to be married to one, it's only natural that the rest of us put 2 and 2 together. I guess the truth hurts, doesn't it...lol

Little but a last 'Hurrah!' by the current bunch of MEPs, due to be replaced after EP elections this 23-26 May. The new lot will be even less sympathetic.

Glow, you and other Albos were saying that revokations of recognition was fake news.... Now you clearly see that its not fake news.
The rest of your comment is wishful thinking and waffle.

P.S. imagine if every country in the world played these cheesy tactics of I recognize you one day but the next day I don't? It will be a complete chaos!
(Glow, 29 March 2019 23:11)

You’re slowly making progress Glow, welcome to the real chaotic world. Or do you still “imagine” that the USA and many of it’s co-conspiring criminal states still recognize South Vietnam.

Glow, you most certainly do care about "third world" countries revoking recognition. I recall all the Albos boasting with pride how 116/120 countries recognise Kosovo. You didnt say 15/20 countries recognise Kosovo, and some banana republics. So, cant have it both ways.
And you should care because a small "third world country" has 1 vote, just the same as USA. If these small nations voted for Kosovo it would already have been a member of Interpol, Unesco, etc. Dont you agree Glow...??

It's a positive development. Hope it will be approved.

If so, and albos from Kisivo*are frequently visiting Gracanica in order to obtain Rep. Serbia passport
I suggest a new price for Serbian passport increase by 100% asap.

Chi, everything USA does is very well planned and nothing is done by accident. Bondsteel is their forever military base for their troops in the Balkans. Just like they still have their military bases in Germany. Also, the USA has build a brand new embassy in Kosova that is worth over 215 million dollars. They have laid roots in Kosova that shows that they are there permanently.
Also, sorry to break it to you but Russia is all talk and can't ever arm-race with USA. Putin talks a big game but he doesn't have the "benjamins" to compete with USA.
(Glow, 30 March 2019 02:31

Glowaj, when you're right, you're right! Yes Russia doesn't have the Benjamins, however, they have gold, and a lot of it. They also don't have US's debt, it's a fraction of what the US owes.... hope this helps clear it up for you!!!

It's just a matter of time until Kosova can travel freely. Kosova has shown that they have what it takes to let the process take its course and in the end get what they want and deserve. They have shown that they are patient and understand that the political bs a lot of times can be very unfair.

USA's presence in Kosova is forever with Bondsteel. NATO is also building an airfield worth of millions in Albania. Ask yourself why they all are so found of the Albanians?

"Serbia is shooting itself on the foot by getting countries to revoke Kosova's recognitions"- should ring the loudest bell to you as it was said by the German representative in EU. He holds Serbia's future in his hands, remember that.
(Glow, 29 March 2019 17:15

Glowaj, I wouldn't be so sure or confident about US's presence anywhere in the world as being permanent. Just look at recent history and all the countries they've provided assistance to under the guise of Humanitarian Aid (in other words Attacked or Illegally Forced) and let that sink in for a second. The US has plenty of enemies in the world to justify their military spending and build up, so I believe that some time soon they will come to agreements with Russia with respect to the new arms race. Once this happens, you can kiss Bondsteel laku noc - not only do they not care about you, now they have a ton of options in the area to build new bases.

@resident of...
Here you are branding "Chi" as paranoid and other serbian contributors with an ease,. The same resident of... Who no long time ago was complaining to b92 for similar reasons.

Yes yes please let the Kosovo terrorists free travel across Europe I'm happy to see their reputation spread across Europe. But no travel to Serbia please we know there reputation

@abroad
And no mentioning by you hard working "laboring" Serbs paying 100% kosovo* muslims tax3You do not care? You just happend to think is "just". Or you are one of Kosovo "Muslims or resident 3.
I still think asap 100% price increase for the new Serbian passports is justifiable.

Glow...."isolated Serbia...??" Look who is talking. Serbs do not need visas to travel to Europe, there are countless foreign companies investing in Serbia, etc.
Don't you mean isolated Kosovo? If you think Serbia is isolated, then there are no words to describe Kosovo.

Kosova is well on its way to accomplish all of their goals that they have planned. We are patient and persistent and as history shows with our Independence, good things don't happen overnight. We are ready to become the most successful country in the Balkans, we have the youngest population in Europe. Nothing can STOP us!

Chi, 29 March 2019 16:09

Chi babbling on again with his very narrow view that can't see anything past his nose. Look at the big picture, Kosova is Independent and recognized by over 100 countries. Kosova doesn't bother to get other countries to recognize them since they know Serbia will recognize Kosova soon and that will obviously close this chapter with every other country recognizing Kosova as well. Serbia will have pressure from EU and USA to do that, not just because they want to help Albanians but because that is very well aligned with their own INTERESTS in the region. Kosova has support from the strongest democratic countries of the world. You can try to feed into your country's propaganda and believe that is all doom and gloom in Kosova but none of your people have been in Kosova in 20 years and have no clue of Kosova's actual progress. Kosova has come out the most horrific war and its rebuilding has been pretty impressive so far.

USA's presence in Kosova is forever with Bondsteel. NATO is also building an airfield worth of millions in Albania. Ask yourself why they all are so found of the Albanians?

(Navi, 29 March 2019 03:46)


For the sake of argument, let's grant you that K-Albanians are indeed going to Gracanica to get Serbian passports, en masse.

Some obvious and immediate problems with that assertion;

1) The EU's visa-free regime with Serbia excludes Kosova/o.
This means, any Serbian passport issued to people living in Kosova/o, as well as anyone from Kosova/o living abroad applying at a Serbian embassy/consulate, will get said passport issued by "MUP Serbia, Kordinaciona Uprava" (sp?).
These types of passports are specifically excluded from the visa-free regime; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_passport#Inhabitants_of_Kosovo
Which makes these Serbian passports as worthless as Kosovar passports fot visa-free access to EU

2) But, let's ignore the point above, and also grant you that somehow and in violation of the visa-free regime, the passports issued are indeed issued by "MUP Serbia".
This only allows the holder of such passport to travel to EU for 90 days, NOT to emigrate there

So, what in the god's ever-warming earth are you talking about?

We said it many times that we don't give a damn about third world countries like Palau and Burundi. All Dacic has done with those "revocations" is that he has bought himself some extra points with Serbia's money so his political career can last passed Serbia's recognition of Kosova. This is all for internal political gain for himself. Also, a lot of knowledgeable political people debate the validity of revoking ones recognition after it's been recognized once. The flip-flopping of I recognize you one day and don't recognize the next day is a third world country "thing". No reputable country would do something like that. But hey, in Burundi and Palau anything goes.
Also, I guess people in Serbia don't have any common sense left to see pass the political bs, whether it is internal or external politics.

P.S. imagine if every country in the world played these cheesy tactics of I recognize you one day but the next day I don't? It will be a complete chaos!

Kosova (sic) will be traveling freely soon but to me the support and relationships Kosova has with the West is what counts the most.

There will be no bigger mass exodus with the Albanians than the ones that Serbia already had. I hear that a lot of moms on those weekly protests in Serbia complaining that all the youth have left Serbia and saying that the only connection they have with their kids is thru skype.

Serbia's population is very old to begin with, and on top of that, you have all the young people leaving in search of a better life outside of isolated Serbia.
You are projecting Serbia's issues into Kosova to make you feel better and not let this positive news about Kosova bother you too much.

Serbia has investment from west and east. You must've lived under a rock till yesterday if you really believe your own words.

@T, Switzerland was not a member of UN till 2002, and it was condidered a full fladg state/country! Think before you post stupid coment.

Well Chi what I can tell you is that at least in my country there are some Kosovar-Albanian expats who run legitimate businesses in my country so for instance in the neighboring province of Nova Scotia and the city of Halifax there is this pizza restaurant (which may still be in existence) named Rugova's Pizza so when I ate there (which was actually back in 2011) I recall the employees were Kosovar-Albanians and I found them pleasant to talk to and here in Fredericton there's a telecommunication or a type of telecommunication business that is owned by a Kosovar-Albanian man and he happens to be on Lindekin ( well something like that) and when I viewed his credentials he did graduate from Pristina,so either way,he's educated just like his local brother who I learned is an engineer so what my point is that this should be proof that these Kosovar-Albanians have legitimate businesses and I very much doubt ( though I don't know them personally) they are involved in drugs and by the way and if necessary about the U.S. most Albanians don't appear to be subject to profiling like African-Americans are by the police and it may be because most Albanians and Albanian-Americans are white.

Once this happens, you can kiss Bondsteel laku noc - not only do they not care about you, now they have a ton of options in the area to build new bases.
(CHi, 29 March 2019 21:54) #

Chi, everything USA does is very well planned and nothing is done by accident. Bondsteel is their forever military base for their troops in the Balkans. Just like they still have their military bases in Germany. Also, the USA has build a brand new embassy in Kosova that is worth over 215 million dollars. They have laid roots in Kosova that shows that they are there permanently.
Also, sorry to break it to you but Russia is all talk and can't ever arm-race with USA. Putin talks a big game but he doesn't have the "benjamins" to compete with USA.

@Chi:

Why are you so paranoid of Albanians?? Even though this article concerns the European Union and/or European Parliament my question is would you have similar assumptions of Kosovar-Albanians if they or at least if some of them intend to migrate to America and/or Canada?

@ the ISIS bride calling herself "Glow"

(Albanians stand with ISIS, 28 March 2019 23:08

B92, your policy on the conduct is obviously not created for everyone in this site. The above garbage proves it.

Kosova is well on its way to accomplish all of their goals that they have planned. We are patient and persistent and as history shows with our Independence, good things don't happen overnight. We are ready to become the most successful country in the Balkans, we have the youngest population in Europe. Nothing can STOP us!

Staff,

Do you know if a new resolution can be passed to take away KiM's independent status at the UN? Just curious as I'm not familiar with the workings of this corrupt organization. Thanks in advance for any clarification. (Chi, 29 March 2019 19:43)

You are right to ask "staff" for his amazing insights. He is so much like James Bond. I could only dream of one day getting his signature on a Serbian flag! We are eagerly awaiting "staff" to reveal the mysteries of the universe, or at least of Kosovo and Serbia. We are forever indebted to him for his faithful service to our Heavenly Serbia!

What seems to be the issue here? I don't think Serbia has any objections for EU Visas for Albanians in Kosovo to align with Serbian citizens. Haridinaj should consider a 100% percent tax on all European imports until EU visa are formally granted.

Chi, 29 March 2019 16:09

Chi babbling on again with his very narrow view that can't see anything past his nose. Look at the big picture, Kosova is Independent and recognized by over 100 countries. Kosova doesn't bother to get other countries to recognize them since they know Serbia will recognize Kosova soon and that will obviously close this chapter with every other country recognizing Kosova as well. Serbia will have pressure from EU and USA to do that, not just because they want to help Albanians but because that is very well aligned with their own INTERESTS in the region. Kosova has support from the strongest democratic countries of the world. You can try to feed into your country's propaganda and believe that is all doom and gloom in Kosova but none of your people have been in Kosova in 20 years and have no clue of Kosova's actual progress. Kosova has come out the most horrific war and its rebuilding has been pretty impressive so far.

USA's presence in Kosova is forever with Bondsteel. NATO is also building an airfield worth of millions in Albania. Ask yourself why they all are so found of the Albanians?

"Serbia is shooting itself on the foot by getting countries to revoke Kosova's recognitions"- should ring the loudest bell to you as it was said by the German representative in EU. He holds Serbia's future in his hands, remember that.

Glow, you and other Albos were saying that revokations of recognition was fake news.... Now you clearly see that its not fake news.
The rest of your comment is wishful thinking and waffle.
(VIEW FROM UK, 29 March 2019 20:04

We said it many times that we don't give a damn about third world countries like Palau and Burundi. All Dacic has done with those "revocations" is that he has bought himself some extra points with Serbia's money so his political career can last passed Serbia's recognition of Kosova. This is all for internal political gain for himself. Also, a lot of knowledgeable political people debate the validity of revoking ones recognition after it's been recognized once. The flip-flopping of I recognize you one day and don't recognize the next day is a third world country "thing". No reputable country would do something like that. But hey, in Burundi and Palau anything goes.
Also, I guess people in Serbia don't have any common sense left to see pass the political bs, whether it is internal or external politics.

P.S. imagine if every country in the world played these cheesy tactics of I recognize you one day but the next day I don't? It will be a complete chaos!

Well Chi what I can tell you is that at least in my country there are some Kosovar-Albanian expats who run legitimate businesses in my country so for instance in the neighboring province of Nova Scotia and the city of Halifax there is this pizza restaurant (which may still be in existence) named Rugova's Pizza so when I ate there (which was actually back in 2011) I recall the employees were Kosovar-Albanians and I found them pleasant to talk to and here in Fredericton there's a telecommunication or a type of telecommunication business that is owned by a Kosovar-Albanian man and he happens to be on Lindekin ( well something like that) and when I viewed his credentials he did graduate from Pristina,so either way,he's educated just like his local brother who I learned is an engineer so what my point is that this should be proof that these Kosovar-Albanians have legitimate businesses and I very much doubt ( though I don't know them personally) they are involved in drugs and by the way and if necessary about the U.S. most Albanians don't appear to be subject to profiling like African-Americans are by the police and it may be because most Albanians and Albanian-Americans are white.

Get ready for the mass exodus
(Nenad From Melbourne, 29 March 2019 08:47

There will be no bigger mass exodus with the Albanians than the ones that Serbia already had. I hear that a lot of moms on those weekly protests in Serbia complaining that all the youth have left Serbia and saying that the only connection they have with their kids is thru skype.

Serbia's population is very old to begin with, and on top of that, you have all the young people leaving in search of a better life outside of isolated Serbia.
You are projecting Serbia's issues into Kosova to make you feel better and not let this positive news about Kosova bother you too much.

Good. It will drain Kosovo of Albanians faster. Let them be problems in Germany, Austria, Denmark, France, Netherlands, and Italy. Tens of thousands are leaving every year as it is.

The Last things EU nations needs is more crime and drain on they country they have enough problems with the Illigal migrants already.

Hang on a minute! Didn't staff say just few days ago - while he was sharing the room with 16 other people and enjoying Vučić's impeccable English - that Brussels said no visa free travel for Kosovars? Nudge nudge.
(Tom L'Orizi, 28 March 2019 20:50)

But hang on who makes the decision on these matters? The EU room full of clowns or Brussels, aka Germany? Nudge nudge!!!!!!

@ the ISIS bride calling herself "Glow"

EU countries have a long history of ignoring EP recommendations. Case in point: The MANY times over the past 6 years when EP called for EU countries who haven't already recognized "indupendient kosovhaha***" to do so. How has that worked out for you? Not too well huh? Anyways as I recall: immediately before the Syrian refugee crisis, the big problem in the EU was K-Albo refugees (100,000 fled Kosovo i Metohija over a 6 month period in fact). While I would certainly welcome another such exodus of K-Albos to the EU, I seriously doubt the EU would facilitate that happening by abolishing visas. But it doesn't hurt to dream...

Excellent... Please come to Germany... Germany needs and deserves all the Kosovo Albanians it can get... The more here, the merrier it will be for Germans. I just want to see Germans happy sharing their lives (and belongings and perhaps even organs) with Albanians from Kosovo.

Chi accepting his loss in advance!👏👏
I guess the famous line that serbs here like to use that Albanians can't travel freely will no longer be a thing. Next one will be the Interpol. Don't worry Chi, Kosova has no need to throw its achievements in ya'll faces, we have plenty bigger and better things in our horizon. Good times ahead!!
(Glow, 28 March 2019 17:24)

Glow, on the contrary, you people are going backwards and sinking fast. It all started with your ridiculous 100% tax, and then you added an even more ridiculous platform. You've lost support from the West and you've irritated your US puppet masters. As much as you people love to cry victim, it was your politicians that came up with these blended moves. I guess all I can say for now is thanks... What are those achievements Glow? A semi, breakaway, narco terrorist state with only 50% of the world recognizing it - and this is with the US/West bulling about 40% of these countries. Sorry Glow,what you people, and your politicians, need to do is apologize to Serbia for the horror and chaos you have caused and maybe the old Serbian people will take you back in and feed you - however, we'll not fund 15 kid families anymore.....

@resident of...
Here you are branding "Chi" as paranoid and other serbian contributors with an ease,. The same resident of... Who no long time ago was complaining to b92 for similar reasons.
Two wrong don't make right as we "BRITISH" say.

Glow...."isolated Serbia...??" Look who is talking. Serbs do not need visas to travel to Europe, there are countless foreign companies investing in Serbia, etc.
Don't you mean isolated Kosovo? If you think Serbia is isolated, then there are no words to describe Kosovo.
(VIEW FROM UK, 1 April 2019 10:18)

View, Serbia is in almost complete diplomatic isolation. The only political diplomacy Serbia has is with the third world countries, the ones that they have bought, I might add. Kosova will be traveling freely soon but to me the support and relationships Kosova has with the West is what counts the most.

Is that guy mad? Wait till it’s back under serbianncontrol before liberalizing your lands u less you want them to destroy and steal your property

The truth, I'm afraid Ljiljana is right, Kosovo is not a country. Its an illegal entity propped up by some western nations for their own selfish interests and contrary to international law (see res 1244). Lets ask some questions; Is Kosovo a member of the UN? If it was a member it could be a sovereign nation. Is Kosovo in Inerpol, Unesco, Council of Europe, etc? No its not.
Kosovo is an illegal entity which more and more countries are revoking recognition of after the US bullied them into recognising. Hell, some nations never even recognised Kosovo but Pristina claimed they did.
So just by arresting a politician from Serbia does not give you the status of an sovereign country. The Djuric incident shows what a brutal and uneducated stone age tribe run Pristina. But for how long will this mafia be in Prostina???

Kosovo is not even a member of the UN, therefore not officially recognised as a state.
So how the EP can even contemplate visa free travel for a rogue state is beyond my comprehension

@ butthurt Glow

Complaining about me? Awe what's wrong am I too close to the truth? Since you defend K-Albos (people who support ISIS) and have claimed to be married to one, it's only natural that the rest of us put 2 and 2 together. I guess the truth hurts, doesn't it...lol

@T, Switzerland was not a member of UN till 2002, and it was condidered a full fladg state/country! Think before you post stupid coment.

@abroad
And no mentioning by you hard working "laboring" Serbs paying 100% kosovo* muslims tax3You do not care? You just happend to think is "just". Or you are one of Kosovo "Muslims or resident 3.
I still think asap 100% price increase for the new Serbian passports is justifiable.

Tom L'Orizi....the report also says that some EU nations are strongly against visa free travel for K Albos.
Brussels can say what it likes but all EU nations have to give the green light before it happens.
I think you are jumping the gun big time. You seem to think that its a done deal....think again. Will not happen any day soon. But if by a miracle it does happen it will not be long before the visas are reinstated. Why??? Because most K Albos will go and not return.

Hang on a minute! Didn't staff say just few days ago - while he was sharing the room with 16 other people and enjoying Vučić's impeccable English - that Brussels said no visa free travel for Kosovars? Nudge nudge.
(Tom L'Orizi, 28 March 2019 20:50)

Yeah it says the EP recommends visa liberalisation, as it's done a number of times in the past. The EU has to vote on it, which always is voted down. Learn to comprehend what you read, paisan :)

Get ready for the mass exodus

Of course not. That's why Albanians visit the Serbian visa office in Gracanica every week to apply for a Serbian passport so they can travel out of Kosovo never to return. Funny how they suddenly become Serbian citizens again the minute they have a job prospect in Germany.
(Navi, 29 March 2019 03:46)


For the sake of argument, let's grant you that K-Albanians are indeed going to Gracanica to get Serbian passports, en masse.

Some obvious and immediate problems with that assertion;

1) The EU's visa-free regime with Serbia excludes Kosova/o.
This means, any Serbian passport issued to people living in Kosova/o, as well as anyone from Kosova/o living abroad applying at a Serbian embassy/consulate, will get said passport issued by "MUP Serbia, Kordinaciona Uprava" (sp?).
These types of passports are specifically excluded from the visa-free regime; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_passport#Inhabitants_of_Kosovo
Which makes these Serbian passports as worthless as Kosovar passports fot visa-free access to EU

2) But, let's ignore the point above, and also grant you that somehow and in violation of the visa-free regime, the passports issued are indeed issued by "MUP Serbia".
This only allows the holder of such passport to travel to EU for 90 days, NOT to emigrate there

So, what in the god's ever-warming earth are you talking about?

PS: Have a read here if you want to have a chuckle; https://prishtinainsight.com/if-president-vucic-moved-to-kosovo/

@Llijiana:

I'm familiar with the expression "Two wrongs don't make a right" but what are you getting at? Not sure if I understand you.

Kosovo *is NOT COUNTRY, that is the main reason why they cannot have viza liberalization... But I feel like saying open the amfor gate and let them out.
But no, no no.
This is 2019 not 1999!The west knows differently.

I don't think Serbia has any objections for EU Visas for Albanians in Kosovo to align with Serbian citizens.

Haha. You know nothing Tom. Dimitris was criticized here in Brussels yesterday to make this statement because its far far from certain. Many thought it was not good to promise something that will not been achieved.
There is still massive resistance and 21 countries are against. Five countries say that it is impossible due to the status of Kosvo, namely it is a province and provinces cannot obtain visas.
No, as you will experience, none of this will happen.
Now breakfast with eggs and bacon!

Glow, you and other Albos were saying that revokations of recognition was fake news.... Now you clearly see that its not fake news.

A big "thank you" for your helpful suggestion.

Sincerely,
All hardworking Serbs laboring to pay their monthly electric bill, let alone a double-priced passport

Glow, you most certainly do care about "third world" countries revoking recognition. I recall all the Albos boasting with pride how 116/120 countries recognise Kosovo. You didnt say 15/20 countries recognise Kosovo, and some banana republics. So, cant have it both ways.
And you should care because a small "third world country" has 1 vote, just the same as USA. If these small nations voted for Kosovo it would already have been a member of Interpol, Unesco, etc. Dont you agree Glow...??

Glow, you like to convince yourself that the US is the mightiest nation on earth. But they have a match now. In fact there are 2. Russia and China.
You forget that the American state is over $23 trillion in debt...Let that sink in. And you think they care about Kosovo, Albania, Serbia or anyone else??? How utterly naive of you, its wishful thinking on your part.
Hell, the US wont even tackle N Korea because they have nuclear weapons... And you think they will take on Russia...???

Even though I live here, I would love to see the Albanians reek havoc in the West like they do everywhere they go. Don't think they're not doing the same thing in the US as other places in Europe. You know what I'm talking about... drug trade. I have yet to see an Albanian in the US owning a farm or legitimate business.

You talk about "third world" countries...but you were proud to say 116/120 countries around the world recognised Kosovo. Right? When some decided to revoke recognition you say you dont care and that they now 3rd world!!!
Are you calling Spain, Greece, Slovakia, Brazil, Cyprus, Israel, Argentina, Romania, China, Russia, etc third world countries?? Remember China is the 2nd biggest economy in the world and Russia is more than a match for bankrup USA. You also need to remember that a small nation has one vote at the UN, Unesco, Interpol, etc. The same as your beloved and war loving USA.
