“Serbia’s priority should be neutrality”

I agree with everything Kostunica has said. I dont know how anybody can disagree with the neutral stance; it is what made Yugoslavia strong. The only qualm I have about Mr Kostunica is his personal demeanor. He always looks like hes about to snooze off. Otherwise, I have to agree with everything "sleepy" had too say. Only far left extremists such as Cedomir Jovanovic and Vuk Draskovic disagree, and they have been marginalized completly and permanently in Serbia.

“Finally, the seventh reason is a condition that Serbia must respond to all requests of various European institutions, bodies, officials, rapporteurs and supervisors and unconditionally accept quasi cultural standards, norms of behavior, moral norms and the system of values. This will include a revision of our history, both political and cultural,” he explained.

He means that Serbia will have to adapt to European standards and generally accepted modern norms and behavior? How bad - especially for Serbian nationalist, hooligans and rioters who don't have anything better to do than to attack other people who don't agree to their 'behavior and moral values'. And a 'revision of history' in the light that some people still don't see the politics of Milosevic as the main reason for the Balkan wars wouldn't be bad, neither.

“All the requests for Serbia are an enormous material, political and moral hit to the country. If all of the requests were fulfilled, what would Serbia look like and what would be left from it,” Koštunica wondered.

It would not be a hit, but an improvement. Serbia would look a bit more modern, more European, and still there would be enough left of 'Serbdom'. Does he really think all EU countries look the same, are the same and don't have cultural differences and traditions? This will not a happen in a century. Are those thoughts some ideas leftovers from communism (all people are equal - otherwise, they have to be 'equalized'?)

As such - Yes !!!.

“Serbia’s priority should be neutrality”

Arn.Sweden.

.... Pointing out that the first one was “snatching of Kosovo”.

Not even five seconds later he states:

"... third reason is conditioning of Serbia to support the Republic of Srpska’s integration into Bosnia-Herzegovina,” he added.


The only person thinking about stealing other people's land is you clown. I can't wait to hear some counterargument how genocidal creation sr is Serb holy land and being the srce of Serbia and all that bs.


Get it through your thick head:

1) EU is not conditioning Serbia to recognize Kosovo but it absolutely is requesting Belgrade normalize all relations with Pristina. EU is certainly demanding that belgrade stops meddling in Kosovo's internal affairs (parallel institutions) and to stop attempting to prevent Kosovo's international representation.

2) Bosnian's eastern part of the country is and will maintain to be....drum roll please, part of Bosnia.

3) No one is "snatching" Kosovo. Milosevic sealed then-province of Kosovo's fate with his ethnic cleansing (modern label: genocide) scheme. Recall that Kosovo's declaration in 2008 is a fait accompli supported by an ever increasing amount of world recognitions and the outcome of the International Court of Justice.

Not only reasonable but prescient. He can mean exactly what he says. It is extraordinary for a future "EU" trying to imagine what "Serbdom" should be allowed to survive. Which proves his point for going forward. As to what a "European" country will or should look like, it is hardly difficult to drop the pretenses and admit it is not to going in the direction predicted anyway. Countries as Germany and England are going to be struggling enough over what it means to be "German" or "English" in the near future and that is just a matter of demographics not opinion. Countries such as Greece, Italy, Spain, are not going to stay or keep up with the EU demands and that's just math. Hungary ? Need we go on? Why follow blindly the diktats of a confused and imploding empire that is utterly uncertain of its own "identity"?

Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.

Hi Iowe!

tough economy, eh?

Do you have a stack of B92 comments printed out beside your desk that you organize all day?


I've completely explained myself, far more than I should have to, addressing YOUR confusion with my identity, TYVM

My goodness! For someone who declared himself/herself to be Serb in 2010, then denied being Serb at all on 6 Feb 2012, only to claim to be Serb again on the very next day (7 Feb 2012), you really got a lot of nerve calling anyone "confused"! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

How can you blame me or anyone else for being confused about whether you are Serb or not when you claimed to be Serb one moment, denied being one later and then claimed to be one again?

No, I don't need B92 printouts to expose you -- your claims are all available online for anyone wishing to see the contradictions -- that's how sensible netizens search for info online nowadays -- or are you also confused about the way we do things online these days too?

"Cedomir Jovanovic and Vuk Draskovic disagree, and they have been marginalized completly and permanently in Serbia"

You realize that Kostunica got just a tiny bit more votes than Jovanovic in the last elections, right?

They're both 'marginalized' to the same degree, my confused friend.

Vojislav Koštunica is right about all points.
