the sooner foreign occupiers go, the better it is. as for this socalled "independence" - even our dear k-albanian friends know that they will never be in the position to call themselves independent without looking like complete idiots.

as soon as NATO is out of southern Serbia, the albanian guests should start a little thinking about their personal future.

You forget: The Albanian invaders destroying Serbian monuments and churches - not that people think those things only happen in the past. No, even in the 21st century :)
(Comm. Parrisson, 3 July 2012 18:48)

Sure property is destroyed and people are murdered by criminals every day in every country and the police should do its job to bring them to justice.... thanks for reminding me of that.

I think B92 should open a forum about justice and policing issues so we can discuss in length about that without getting of topic :)

"a New Day", KFOR is NATO in Kosovo. NATO bombed Serbia into submission and then occupies Serbia on the ground as KFOR. The UN's pronouncements are just window dressing, especially since KFOR makes not even the display of protecting Serbs from Albanians. The UN has no authority over NATO or KFOR either. If the UN actually wanted to create its own military presence in Kosovo, it would be perfectly capable of doing that, the "Blue Hats" have been in all kinds of hot spots before.

you mean like Serbs destroying Albanian houses in the late 90's? by the way, which Albanian invaders? where did they invade from?

com parison& exkfor what is your point? If albanian destroy today all serbs artifacts you will not say more kosovo is serbia? My point is that kosova is the place of people that live in kosova albanians and kserbs, and all serbs monument are important for the turism of kosova and important for the story of serbian nation. Do we agree?

to Dori from exKFOR

pre 13 godina

My point is not to find artifacts that tell only for a past story, but to ask the people that live the every day life in Kosova. Was this stupid colonialist falsification of Serbia and Greece during WWI that has stolen Kosova and Cameria from Albania, two regions with majority of more 80% Albanians. During this time all the Europe mentality was a colonialist one, and they accept that you occupy with force this two regions with majority Albanian people. Today Europe has changed and human right and stability are more important than colonialist intentions of Albanians neighbors. Since 1844 that Serbia was independent state Kosova was majority Albanians.

What I see that Muslim invaders, both Turks and Albanians, moved to KiM and through genocide rid Kosovo of its lawful owners - whose ownership is verified by artifacts, some of them are in UNESCO heritage list - rest of the stories about Illyrian-Albaian links are fairytales, wishful thinking, as every criminal convinces himself/herself of the legitimacy of his/her misdeeds! Albania to Albanians and Serbia, to which KiM is a internationally recognized part, to Serbia. All Muslim invaders back to their country of origin - and everybody will be happy (except for jihadists loosers, but they can go to Mecca and enjoy every day the presence of their God)

Are you trying to say that these links made by amateur Serbs hold any importance in fooling intelligent people that Serbs are right. No wonder that Serb propaganda self-destructed Serbia mostly as people like you convinced normal Serbs that all the Non - Serbs in Yugoslavia were THE AGRESSORS and the Serbs were the victims of what happened in Yougoslavia.

You have no knowledge of how the nations are created. If you know the century of nations was 19th . These century was created the nation of Germans of today, Italian of today, Greeks of today, Croatian of today, Turkish of today, Albanian of today, Serbs of today and so on. Do you people think that you are the same with Serbs of Kingdom of Serbia of 13 century, do you think that Greeks of today are the same with Hellenic people? Why than you ask for Albanian to be the same with Illyrian. So man we have only the origin from this ancients tribes, but too many water has passed in this centuries. So the nation of Albanians was born on the century of nations 19th, like Germans, Italians, Greeks, Serbs and so on.

My point is not to find artifacts that tell only for a past story, but to ask the people that live the every day life in Kosova.

Albanians among the oldest nations in Europe...must be kidding - where are the physical evidence of their presence ( or their "ancient high-class culture", besides criminal activities) for instance in KiM? The only artifacts are Serbian ones, plus some Muslim invaders buildings made of destroyed Serbian Christian churces/monasteries... What one can see is something what is going on in Syria - brainless islamofascists on rampage

(to Kelly)

Kosova/Dardania is an ancient Illyrian place that for 2 thousand years was under Roman rule, Byzantium rule, Serbian rule, Ottoman rule, Yugoslav rule, International rule, and from 2008 is under Albanian rule. If you have a minimal logic you with understand that you will find today in Kosova, more Yugoslav buildings, than Ottoman artifacts, than Serbian artifacts, than Byzantium artifact, than Roman artifacts and than Illyrian artifacts.

Curious Paul, where do you get your information, or is this jsut what you think?
Kfor is the international security presence formed from Resolution 1244.
"The international security presence with substantial North Atlantic Treaty Organization participation must be deployed under unified command and control and authorized to establish a safe environment for all people in Kosovo"
The security presence has NO supervisory nor political roles period. Their job is the security of the people of Kosovo, and specifically insuring the freedom of movement for all of Kosovo especially the international presence (EULEX)

In response to all comments, both Albanians and Serbs. Kosova is independent. No matter what anyone thinks, you can not turn back time. 75 percent of Kosovars are under the age of 35, that means they have a long and bright future. Serbia, along with you "wannabe western" Serbs, have reason to fear. Your next generation along with generations to come will experience the fear first hand. Illyrians are Albanians and Albanians are the future.

"ask Adam Jashari" yeah he would probably tell me how many Yugoslav "special" forces he took with him during all three attacks on his family. And how his death inspired the Kosovo Liberation Army. Please, Albanians have been at the mercy of Serb propaganda. We show videos of Serb military shooting boys at point blank range, they show an Albanian soldier killing a Yugoslav soldier, we show video of ethnic cleansing, they make claims of organ trafficking (with absolutely no proof) And now you say that the story of Adem Jashari is a symbol of Albanian weakness. HAH let me make one thing clear, NATO will leave Kosovo when Kosovo enters NATO. And that will be the final nail in the coffin of claims towards KOSOVO!

Another proud albanian using a western name to hide his own. If albanians are indeed one of the oldest nation in European history then you haven't acheived much. What traces of your "old" culture did your ancestors leave? How come then only old and unique buildings in Kosovo belong to Serbs? Albanian history is as old as yesterdays news.

Paul

pre 13 godina

All these solemn pronouncements and not one mention of how the end of this "supervision" will effect the presence of NATO (KFOR). Yes, "think again", KFOR represents NATO, not the UN. If KFOR remains in Kosovo, then by any definition of the word "supervised", Kosovo will continue to be supervised.

We all know that KFOR is there to be the Albanian bodyguard, but there is a down side to this. Even a thug bodyguard may have moral and legal standards superior to the thug he is guarding and that is certainly the case in Kosovo. How long before the rot and organized crime that saturate Albanian Kosovo starts to spread into KFOR? What happens when we finally find KFOR troops moving drugs or people or in some other way actually participating in organized crime? We can imagine that this has happened already and is being hushed up to dignify the situation. This would certainly explain the sudden rush to announce "unsupervised independence". Get the civilian administrators out fast before the rot starts spreading to them too. Those Albanian gangsters with their sheik friends got a lot of money. It must be awful tempting.

Ari Gold,
Naive little person aren't you. Kfor, #1 receives financing in part from the UN as it is a UN mission, #2 There are only 5-6000 personnel in Kosovo not a huge number. #3 that number probably will not decrease until the balkans is in a comfortable place for the EU, or Serbia is pretty much locked in to where the EU is not worried about crossing the border. Any savings realized by total withdrawal from Kosovo will not affect the economic status of any nation in the west. #4 The US budget for Kosovo is less than 0.5% of its foreign affairs budget. #5 As tensions increase between the US and Russia or the EU and Russia so will any American support for Kosovo if a Russian ally should invade.
People say there are only 2 things that are certain, death and taxes. But in the US there is another, and that is anyone growing up during the cold war, does not trust Russia and while they want peace with Russia they will never embrace a country that is considered a Russian brethren.

With the Eurozone in a slow motion car crash, you can expect financing whatever the hell it is they are doing in Kosovo* will be down the list of priorities.

And that is exactly what this is all about. What the West means by we are not going to supervise you anymore, means exactly that. You can make all the decisions you want without us, but be prepared to take full responsibility for everything that you do because we do not have the money to finance this anymore.

I think there are over 40,000 people inside Kosovo* who are laughing at the idea of Albanian sovereignty over anything.

One big, huge problem n your pipe dream, Russia and China in their efforts to "back" Serbia will not agree to a repeal of 1244, So Kfor still has its mandate. Of course should 1244 be repealed there is nothing to stop Kosovo from entering into an agreement with the US or NATO for protective security forces.
In either situation, Serbia forces are not crossing the border. So laugh at Kosovo sovereignty if you want to but you are doing it from outside of Kosovo.

Now we hear that all of this has been a facade for 4 years and only now is Kosovo going to be independent despite problems with "integrating" the north, rampant corruption, persistent ethnic attacks, and one of the poorest standards of living in Europe? All of this was under "supervised independence" so I dread seeing what the Europe's youngest "democracy" will look like once full control is given to these clowns in Pristina.

This is a great way to start, no provocations from any side will be tolerated at any extent. Laws are laws, and they have to be obeyed or you can simply be punished for it. It is time for Kosova to walk on its own. It has been a long struggle and a tough journey, but somehow they have managed to get there.

Most Serbs could never expect the West to just do a u-turn and start siding with Serbia in this situation. Despite the fact that everyone knows that conflict was not so one sided in terms of atrocities (just one sided in terms of who kicked who's a*s, but can't hate us for being stronger) the West could never flip flop on such an issue they were absolute about during the late 1990's.

However, this is the next best thing.

In code this means "you are responsible for your own defense" that is what sovereign really means anyway, right? I mean how are you independent if you are dependent on some other army to fight your battles.

What comes next is interesting. Because since the Albanians are so deluded they will continue to attack Serbian communities. So it will be up to the government in Belgrade how long they will take such provocations without looking weak and illegitimate.

They will have time to buy because Pristina is only capable of isolating the enclaves but are not physically strong enough to mess with 40,000 Serbs in the north I don't have to mention what happened last July do I?

Well I will, it was utter DEFEAT. And now that Pristina has "sovereignty" and are responsible for their own defeats, expect more to come:)

You have no knowledge of how the nations are created. If you know the century of nations was 19th .

Do you people think that you are the same with Serbs of Kingdom of Serbia of 13 century, do you think that Greeks of today are the same with Hellenic people? Why than you ask for Albanian to be the same with Illyrian. So man we have only the origin from this ancients tribes, but too many water has passed in this centuries. So the nation of Albanians was born on the century of nations 19th, like Germans, Italians, Greeks, Serbs and so on.

My point is not to find artifacts that tell only for a past story, but to ask the people that live the every day life in Kosova.

During this time all the Europe mentality was a colonialist one, and they accept that you occupy with force this two regions with majority Albanian people. Today Europe has changed and human right and stability are more important than colonialist intentions of Albanians neighbors.

The UN's pronouncements are just window dressing, especially since KFOR makes not even the display of protecting Serbs from Albanians. The UN has no authority over NATO or KFOR either. If the UN actually wanted to create its own military presence in Kosovo, it would be perfectly capable of doing that, the "Blue Hats" have been in all kinds of hot spots before.

What I see that Muslim invaders, both Turks and Albanians, moved to KiM and through genocide rid Kosovo of its lawful owners - whose ownership is verified by artifacts, some of them are in UNESCO heritage list - rest of the stories about Illyrian-Albaian links are fairytales, wishful thinking, as every criminal convinces himself/herself of the legitimacy of his/her misdeeds! Albania to Albanians and Serbia, to which KiM is a internationally recognized part, to Serbia.

This is a great way to start, no provocations from any side will be tolerated at any extent. Laws are laws, and they have to be obeyed or you can simply be punished for it. It is time for Kosova to walk on its own. It has been a long struggle and a tough journey, but somehow they have managed to get there.

Most Serbs could never expect the West to just do a u-turn and start siding with Serbia in this situation. Despite the fact that everyone knows that conflict was not so one sided in terms of atrocities (just one sided in terms of who kicked who's a*s, but can't hate us for being stronger) the West could never flip flop on such an issue they were absolute about during the late 1990's.

However, this is the next best thing.

In code this means "you are responsible for your own defense" that is what sovereign really means anyway, right? I mean how are you independent if you are dependent on some other army to fight your battles.

What comes next is interesting. Because since the Albanians are so deluded they will continue to attack Serbian communities. So it will be up to the government in Belgrade how long they will take such provocations without looking weak and illegitimate.

They will have time to buy because Pristina is only capable of isolating the enclaves but are not physically strong enough to mess with 40,000 Serbs in the north I don't have to mention what happened last July do I?

Well I will, it was utter DEFEAT. And now that Pristina has "sovereignty" and are responsible for their own defeats, expect more to come:)

I don't understand, if the Ahtisaari plan was never adopted by the UNSC, how can it have been valid? In other words, how can Kosovo be independent in any regard, supervised or not? Is this the West just going forward, and doing what they want, with any nations sovereign territory? And does office honestly believe that Kosovo is ready for any kind of independence, where minorities are still being harassed, and worse, at will? Let's be honest here folks.

One big, huge problem n your pipe dream, Russia and China in their efforts to "back" Serbia will not agree to a repeal of 1244, So Kfor still has its mandate. Of course should 1244 be repealed there is nothing to stop Kosovo from entering into an agreement with the US or NATO for protective security forces.
In either situation, Serbia forces are not crossing the border. So laugh at Kosovo sovereignty if you want to but you are doing it from outside of Kosovo.

Now we hear that all of this has been a facade for 4 years and only now is Kosovo going to be independent despite problems with "integrating" the north, rampant corruption, persistent ethnic attacks, and one of the poorest standards of living in Europe? All of this was under "supervised independence" so I dread seeing what the Europe's youngest "democracy" will look like once full control is given to these clowns in Pristina.

Kosova/Dardania is an ancient Illyrian place that for 2 thousand years was under Roman rule, Byzantium rule, Serbian rule, Ottoman rule, Yugoslav rule, International rule, and from 2008 is under Albanian rule. If you have a minimal logic you with understand that you will find today in Kosova, more Yugoslav buildings, than Ottoman artifacts, than Serbian artifacts, than Byzantium artifact, than Roman artifacts and than Illyrian artifacts.

And What is your point about these amateur self-made links?
Are you trying to say that these links made by amateur Serbs hold any importance in fooling intelligent people that Serbs are right. No wonder that Serb propaganda self-destructed Serbia mostly as people like you convinced normal Serbs that all the Non - Serbs in Yugoslavia were THE AGRESSORS and the Serbs were the victims of what happened in Yougoslavia.

You have no knowledge of how the nations are created. If you know the century of nations was 19th . These century was created the nation of Germans of today, Italian of today, Greeks of today, Croatian of today, Turkish of today, Albanian of today, Serbs of today and so on. Do you people think that you are the same with Serbs of Kingdom of Serbia of 13 century, do you think that Greeks of today are the same with Hellenic people? Why than you ask for Albanian to be the same with Illyrian. So man we have only the origin from this ancients tribes, but too many water has passed in this centuries. So the nation of Albanians was born on the century of nations 19th, like Germans, Italians, Greeks, Serbs and so on.

My point is not to find artifacts that tell only for a past story, but to ask the people that live the every day life in Kosova. Was this stupid colonialist falsification of Serbia and Greece during WWI that has stolen Kosova and Cameria from Albania, two regions with majority of more 80% Albanians. During this time all the Europe mentality was a colonialist one, and they accept that you occupy with force this two regions with majority Albanian people. Today Europe has changed and human right and stability are more important than colonialist intentions of Albanians neighbors. Since 1844 that Serbia was independent state Kosova was majority Albanians. And people dear decide today not artifacts. For artifacts read the response of ICJ

What a mascarade these countries.
They try and try by meaningless statements.
Serbia has the last say before Kosovo will be a real country,and this is reality.

Good. The Albanians are known for their inability to run a state without someone holding their hand the whole time.

you mean like Serbs destroying Albanian houses in the late 90's? by the way, which Albanian invaders? where did they invade from?

You forget: The Albanian invaders destroying Serbian monuments and churches - not that people think those things only happen in the past. No, even in the 21st century :)
(Comm. Parrisson, 3 July 2012 18:48)

Sure property is destroyed and people are murdered by criminals every day in every country and the police should do its job to bring them to justice.... thanks for reminding me of that.

I think B92 should open a forum about justice and policing issues so we can discuss in length about that without getting of topic :)

Agim Kelmendi,

Milosevic was handed over by SERBS!... and namely because he cost Serbia Kosovo.

Your "Hero / Leader" was liquidated by Serbian commandos. Don't think for a second the Albanian rag tag KLA "forces" could beat anyone. They only managed to kill elderly people and kids.

The only artifacts are Serbian ones, plus some Muslim invaders buildings made of destroyed Serbian Christian churces/monasteries
(to kelly, 2 July 2012 19:24)

Of course like the Serb invaders destroyed the Roman artifacts; the same way that Roman invaders destroyed the pre-Roman artifacts; the same way that pre-Roman invaders destroyed the pre-pre-Roman artifacts; the same way that pre-pre-Roman invaders destroyed the pre-pre-pre-Roman artifacts and so on... so your point was ?!

In response to all comments, both Albanians and Serbs. Kosova is independent. No matter what anyone thinks, you can not turn back time. 75 percent of Kosovars are under the age of 35, that means they have a long and bright future. Serbia, along with you "wannabe western" Serbs, have reason to fear. Your next generation along with generations to come will experience the fear first hand. Illyrians are Albanians and Albanians are the future.

Curious Paul, where do you get your information, or is this jsut what you think?
Kfor is the international security presence formed from Resolution 1244.
"The international security presence with substantial North Atlantic Treaty Organization participation must be deployed under unified command and control and authorized to establish a safe environment for all people in Kosovo"
The security presence has NO supervisory nor political roles period. Their job is the security of the people of Kosovo, and specifically insuring the freedom of movement for all of Kosovo especially the international presence (EULEX)

com parison& exkfor what is your point? If albanian destroy today all serbs artifacts you will not say more kosovo is serbia? My point is that kosova is the place of people that live in kosova albanians and kserbs, and all serbs monument are important for the turism of kosova and important for the story of serbian nation. Do we agree?

"ask Adam Jashari" yeah he would probably tell me how many Yugoslav "special" forces he took with him during all three attacks on his family. And how his death inspired the Kosovo Liberation Army. Please, Albanians have been at the mercy of Serb propaganda. We show videos of Serb military shooting boys at point blank range, they show an Albanian soldier killing a Yugoslav soldier, we show video of ethnic cleansing, they make claims of organ trafficking (with absolutely no proof) And now you say that the story of Adem Jashari is a symbol of Albanian weakness. HAH let me make one thing clear, NATO will leave Kosovo when Kosovo enters NATO. And that will be the final nail in the coffin of claims towards KOSOVO!

What I see that Muslim invaders, both Turks and Albanians, moved to KiM and through genocide rid Kosovo of its lawful owners - whose ownership is verified by artifacts, some of them are in UNESCO heritage list - rest of the stories about Illyrian-Albaian links are fairytales, wishful thinking, as every criminal convinces himself/herself of the legitimacy of his/her misdeeds! Albania to Albanians and Serbia, to which KiM is a internationally recognized part, to Serbia. All Muslim invaders back to their country of origin - and everybody will be happy (except for jihadists loosers, but they can go to Mecca and enjoy every day the presence of their God)

"a New Day", KFOR is NATO in Kosovo. NATO bombed Serbia into submission and then occupies Serbia on the ground as KFOR. The UN's pronouncements are just window dressing, especially since KFOR makes not even the display of protecting Serbs from Albanians. The UN has no authority over NATO or KFOR either. If the UN actually wanted to create its own military presence in Kosovo, it would be perfectly capable of doing that, the "Blue Hats" have been in all kinds of hot spots before.

the sooner foreign occupiers go, the better it is. as for this socalled "independence" - even our dear k-albanian friends know that they will never be in the position to call themselves independent without looking like complete idiots.

as soon as NATO is out of southern Serbia, the albanian guests should start a little thinking about their personal future.
