Stop talking this nonsense about Tadic and treason. He is trying to do for Serbia what needs to be done. People are interested in national politics - but they are more interested in making a reasonable standard of living. You can't judge the attitude of the Serbian people by listening to the more rabid nationalists - peoples' real mood is far more mixed and contains a lot more sensible pragmatism.
Milosevic played stupid politics with Serbia's lands in order to keep in power. He bought sanctions and failed to secure Kosovo. Milosevic's politics was designed for local consumption and totally ignored international implications. He fed nationalism at the expense of Serbia's international reputation. Milosevic was the traitor to Serbia. The levels of corruption under Milosevic were of themselves treasonous against the people of Serbia - that is in addition to the fact that his continual plays at provocative politics effectively gave away Kosovo.
The matter of Northern Kosovo is not a matter for Serbia, it is a matter for the citizens there who do not want to be ruled by Pristina. Whether or not Serbia joins the EU will not change that. Tadic is therefore right to make moves to get Serbia into the EU - joining the EU will not concede Kosovo, but it will improve Serbia's trading position.
Joining the EU does not prevent future politics concerning Kosovo. Kosovo is part of Serbia, and although it may look that way to the more nationalistically minded, Tadic is not conceding anything to Germany or anyone else. His aims and intents for Serbia are honourable, appropriate and much needed
