I am from Kosovo but currently live in USA. Kosovo and Serbia they have to talk about the recognition cause Kosovo was kosovar land for long long time. Kosovo and kosovar people are with full of freedom. If Serbia will recognize fine if not we still in freedom and partner with EU and IS god bless USA

USA maybe disappointed with Government of Serbia decision not to attend "The US,
Western Balkans business summit"but it was a right decision.USA has failed to deliver to Kosovo Albanians "Independent,Sovereign
State of Kosovo" as promised.That hurts,
therefore US will stop on nothing in order to lure the Serbs in some sort of de-facto recognition.Why USA choose
Albanians over Serbs.Simply,Serbs, not because of their own fault, are on the wrong side of USA strategic interest
in that region.Globally,USA likes to have secure and uninterrupted listening outpost for intelligence gathering
Serbs because of their close ties to Russia did not fit in.Those who doubt this theory should recall Greeks-Turkey conflict over Cyprus.USA sided with Turkey although Turkey was aggressor in this case.Why,because of the USA spying outpost in Turkey close to Soviet Union borders.This kind of aggressive behavior in the frantic search for World dominance is playing itself out and will end soon due to the economic circumstances .

Peggy,

your attempt with propaganda is weak. Kosovo is the most America-adoring country on earth, full stop. That disturbed person you're trying to link with all Kosovars and Albanians was actually born abroad and had never been to Kosovo.

=========================

It's happened more than once and BTW, Kosovo is NOT a country.

It's EU without ultimatum or no EU at all. And if Europe isn't going to cooperate with us, well then Europe doesn't deserve our cooperation.

Dear Milos, therein lies your "national" problem.

The majority of Sebs suffer from pathological narcissism. I say pathological because where ever Serbs are, they seem to feel the same regardless of their upbringing. You suffer when you can't feel big. You can't sleep when you don't feel enough grandiose in the eyes of the others. You seem to be starving of attention and you have the "bigger the better" syndrome embolden in your national conscience. For 1300 years you have struggled to consolidate all your spreading population in one place. Still to this day Serbia has failed miserably to achieve its national goal
You must be doing something really wrong to try so hard for so long and achieve nothing.

I feel sorry, so sorry for you.

I wonder why USA and NATO did that?
Oh I remember now "Great" Serbian Army was doing what their new best to do, killing kids, elderly, women, destroying their properties, and moving them out of their homes only because their were albanians.
(gjon fusha, 17 March 2011 02:49)
When the time comes the US will do the same to your Albanians. Your Albanians cry crocodile tears but not one would give a guarantee that their people would NEVER go to Serbia proper to seek work – I don’t know about others but if I was persecuted as you Albanians claim I would give an iron-clad guarantee never to set foot in Serbia proper.

This is extremely childish, Serbia needs this more than it need for Kosovo. Kosovo is simply gone, swallow and try to do more crucial things like FIXING the crumbled economy and improving standards of living
(Mirza Andjelic, 16 March 2011 19:33)

Serbia isnt bad, its not going to be rich, but the wealth divide is one of the smallest in Europe, However, theres some things more important then money, and thats what sets America and Serbia apart. Kosovo is one of those things

American hypocrisy and sense of entitlement as a nation never ceases to amaze me.
President Tadic needs to stand up an be a leader for once. He needs to stand up for us and tell the EU that we will no longer be playing by the ultimatum they've given us (Having to waste our resources to find and capture the so called "war criminals" and accept Kosovo's sovereignty). Why is it that Serbia is the only country that was given an ultimatum along with their EU application? And why on Earth should the current Serbian government be responsible for what a couple of ethnic Serbs did during the war (they, like myself, are Bosnian Serbs, so either Yugoslavia is responsible for them or BiH, not Serbia)? What do Karadzic and Mladic have to do with the current Serbia? I think that was the first sign on what the the EU's stance on Serbia is. The second sign was the fact that the EU is not cooperating with Serbia's extradition requests (Austria, Bulgaria, etc.). Apparently Serbia's requests for justice are not important to the EU. But when it comes to the Albanians, Bosniacs and Croats, it's a whole different story.
It is clear to me that Tadic's government doesn't represent the Serbian people. And it is also clear that the EU has no respect for the Republic of Serbia and is using our request of EU accession as a unjust collective punishment and Tadic and his government are just taking the lashes without complaint and what's worse is that he is in turn forcing us to suffer as well. This is unacceptable and disgusting. At least when Milosevic was in power we still had some dignity. And as much as i disagree with some of the things Milosevic did, he certainly was a leader and he didn't let the world spit on us, unlike Tadic.
And if the next election doesn't come soon and doesn't bring change, Serbia is going to need a revolution.

It's EU without ultimatum or no EU at all. And if Europe isn't going to cooperate with us, well then Europe doesn't deserve our cooperation.

Serbia should stay away from foreign companies, especially the U.S. based ones. We don't need anymore privatization and exploitation in Serbia. I am extremely disappointed with the government's decision of selling NIS to Gazprom and the recent privatization deals with Turkey.
I understand that foreign capital will create jobs for our desperate workers, but these companies are made for profit and as soon as they get the chance they will screw us over in order to increase the profit margin.
The government needs restructuring.I am disappointed with everything this government is doing.

March the 23rd is the day when USA and its satellite NATO members did act of aggression over sovereign state of FR Yugoslavia. The date is picked up randomly! I don't think so! It's yet another provocative decision made in Washington.
Second Serbia won't sit at the same table with the man responsible for atrocities committed over Serbs in Kosovo and btw. Kosovo is not a independent state. Otherwise USA and its EU vassals would not put pressure over Serbia to accept " the new reality". Third on march 24th Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin visits Serbia. Serbia should set its priorities first. So called summit in USA where USA is about to give directions to the leaders of participating banana countries what decisions they must make most definitely it's not even in top 10 on the list of Serbian priorities. Who cares if you are disappointed! We are sick and tired of American foreign policy toward Serbia which does not change for more than 20 years.

On the other hand Serbia has been sponsoring structures for the past 12 years spending 6,000,000,000 EUR. I wonder why northern portion of Kosovo is now inhabited by 99% minority serbs. Hint: they shoot bullets at anyone who was not a Serb and throw Moltov Cocktails.

The US is disappointed? We are the ones who should be disappointed that a country that claims to be the 'Democratic leader' in the world will recognise the partition of Serbia and continue to press on as if it shouldn't be a great deal to Serbia. Well it is; our culture, holy land is at stake here. And we will not sell out for some insignificant business forum.
Serbia needs to keep its head up, and start looking towards both the east and wests for economic development opportunities.

"Warlick said that “economy should be separated from politics”, and so also the matter of the recognition of Kosovo as a sovereign country from trade, investments and other economic issues. "


If the US and their spokeswoman were so concerned about not playing politics, than Kosovo should be represented under UNMIK in line with UN resolution 1244 which still stands. Did FYROM come to the US represented as the Republic of Macedonia, probably not.

American hypocrisy and sense of entitlement as a nation never ceases to amaze me.
President Tadic needs to stand up an be a leader for once. He needs to stand up for us and tell the EU that we will no longer be playing by the ultimatum they've given us (Having to waste our resources to find and capture the so called "war criminals" and accept Kosovo's sovereignty). Why is it that Serbia is the only country that was given an ultimatum along with their EU application? And why on Earth should the current Serbian government be responsible for what a couple of ethnic Serbs did during the war (they, like myself, are Bosnian Serbs, so either Yugoslavia is responsible for them or BiH, not Serbia)? What do Karadzic and Mladic have to do with the current Serbia? I think that was the first sign on what the the EU's stance on Serbia is. The second sign was the fact that the EU is not cooperating with Serbia's extradition requests (Austria, Bulgaria, etc.). Apparently Serbia's requests for justice are not important to the EU. But when it comes to the Albanians, Bosniacs and Croats, it's a whole different story.
It is clear to me that Tadic's government doesn't represent the Serbian people. And it is also clear that the EU has no respect for the Republic of Serbia and is using our request of EU accession as a unjust collective punishment and Tadic and his government are just taking the lashes without complaint and what's worse is that he is in turn forcing us to suffer as well. This is unacceptable and disgusting. At least when Milosevic was in power we still had some dignity. And as much as i disagree with some of the things Milosevic did, he certainly was a leader and he didn't let the world spit on us, unlike Tadic.
And if the next election doesn't come soon and doesn't bring change, Serbia is going to need a revolution.

It's EU without ultimatum or no EU at all. And if Europe isn't going to cooperate with us, well then Europe doesn't deserve our cooperation.

Peggy,

your attempt with propaganda is weak. Kosovo is the most America-adoring country on earth, full stop. That disturbed person you're trying to link with all Kosovars and Albanians was actually born abroad and had never been to Kosovo.

=========================

It's happened more than once and BTW, Kosovo is NOT a country.

USA maybe disappointed with Government of Serbia decision not to attend "The US,
Western Balkans business summit"but it was a right decision.USA has failed to deliver to Kosovo Albanians "Independent,Sovereign
State of Kosovo" as promised.That hurts,
therefore US will stop on nothing in order to lure the Serbs in some sort of de-facto recognition.Why USA choose
Albanians over Serbs.Simply,Serbs, not because of their own fault, are on the wrong side of USA strategic interest
in that region.Globally,USA likes to have secure and uninterrupted listening outpost for intelligence gathering
Serbs because of their close ties to Russia did not fit in.Those who doubt this theory should recall Greeks-Turkey conflict over Cyprus.USA sided with Turkey although Turkey was aggressor in this case.Why,because of the USA spying outpost in Turkey close to Soviet Union borders.This kind of aggressive behavior in the frantic search for World dominance is playing itself out and will end soon due to the economic circumstances .
