Two Serb returnees murdered in Kosovo

Whoever did this I hope that person(s) will burn in hell! Condolences to the family!

I guess this is what the International Steering Group means by 'multi-ethnic' harmony in Kosovo*.

I hope they catch the perpetrators, lock them up and throw away the key!

RIP

This is a sad story. I hope who ever did this get's caught and send to prison for life. Serb or Albanian it dosen't matter.

welcome in multiethnic Kosovo - this is the way how albanians deal with serbs.

Difference between Serbs and Albanians on the territory of Kosovo...

Serbs:Murder (armed) terrorist & defeated ROSU occupiers last July for attempting to come to a part of Kosovo that has managed to remain unoccupied

Albanians:Murder unarmed civilians in enclaves and especially villages where they are overwhelmingly outnumbered

I could be wrong though. Surely somebody here will try to convince everyone that it was probably not ethnically motivated or that Serbs did it to themselves like the houses that were torched months ago.

Silly people, at this point in history you have a chance like never before to actually have Serbia on its own recognize a portion of its territory to be separated and yet your aggressiveness doesn't change. It will be interesting to see how far your foreign sponsors are willing to take this project at the expense of people's basic human rights being suppressed-at best and at worst unarmed civilians being slaughtered. You want the push the West to fully realize your plans of complete ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide and are not satisfied with whatever you have managed to currently occupy.

...you are leaving a huge door open for future conflict out of choice. And one thing that is not debatable is that if the West stopped sponsoring Kosovo..* then the KLA occupiers would be crushed like the cockroaches that they are.

This is a sad story. I hope who ever did this get's caught and send to prison for life. Serb or Albanian it dosen't matter.

It happened in Kosovo, and the victims are Serbs, so don't expect culprits to be found by KPS (they are busy with much more important things, like seizing Serbian flags and T-shirts with Cyrillic letters on them).

Whoever has done this is a monster.

RIP!

RIP!

God Bless their souls.

My deepest condolences to the families.

RIP

And Mr Philip Brown came from the USA to tell Serbia to let those things happen in ALL of Kosovo including the North....how more mentally retarded can this ?

No doubt, whoever did this needs to be caught and punished.
Condolences to the victims families and friends.
RIP.

Didn't that dirtbag Philip Gordon just refer to Kosovo as 'multiethnic' today? That shows you what a liar, propogandist, and how bereft of any morals he is.

Listening to the american diplomap in Dubrovnik saying that Serbia needs to accept a democratic and multiethnic Kosovo, while at the same time serbs are being beaten or killed on a weekley basis is just a slap in the face. Does he know or even care of what is happening in Kosovo? With so many KFOR troops and so few serbs we still can't live in peace. The worst part is how the international community is turning the other way while serbs are slowely being erase from the map of Kosovo. How can anyone have normal relations with such people?

How many more victims of albanian occupiers in Kosovo must there be, for the world to realise what the actual situation in Kosovo is?

Rest in peace and condolences to the families...

Rest in Peace. I hope the police find the perpetrator(s) ASAP and lock them for a longg time.

Sincerely,

Looking from the outside, the fact that it has been so difficult to catch perpetrators by EULEX and NATO (even if we write of KPS), points to the second theory as more likely?

Readers, without prejudice, you tell me what you think?
(Tony/UK, 7 July 2012 13:12)

Looking from the outside, you cannot expect killers to be caught by a biased KPS which lacks both the skills and even more the will to punish crimes, especially against Serbs. In a place where ethnically motivated crimes go unpunished, where an atmosphere of impunity is present, where mafia clans rule the country and witnesses are considered 'traitors' and are murdered or intimidated in case they dare to testify against killers.

In case you don't know, these KPS 'police officers' are often former KLA 'freedom fighters', and that's what made them qualify for a police job in Kosovo. You simply cannot compare Kosovo to a normal state in Europe.

I see that some of my compatriots here condemn this murder (and we all should), but I must remind them what the Serb commentators on B92 wrote when Selver Haradinaj was murderd by a bomb planted on his window while he was sleeping which is wife and four kids in his house in N.Mitrovica. There was no "RIP" or any condemnation from the Serbian camp, no, it was the Albanians who had done this just to make Serbs look bad. No calling for the perpetrators to be caught, no sympathy what so ever. This is how far the Serbian hypocrisy goes. What is even more amazing, they don't even try to hide it.
I am not saying that we Albanians should copy the Serbs, but you should no that that the majority of Serbs (at least here on B92) don't care about Albanians being murdered.
That being said, I condemn this heinous crime and hope the perpetrators will be caught!

"I know this will fall on deaf ears since most of you are programmed to blame others for your own shortcommings. Pity we live in such a world."

cry me a river

What are you talking about? This is about the killing of two people in your "democratic Kosovo society". Once again you are diverting attention from what is truly happening in your "dream state". Every normal society has problems. Yes, even Serbia. But, what other society in Europe is killing off one of their minority populations? Which one, tell me? When was the last time you heard of an albanians being killed in Presevo? We serbs have shortcommings but you albanians need to get down from that high horse and take a damn good look in the mirror.

What's really tragic that most Serbs who stayed or came back never did anything wrong. Those blood thirsty Serbs who slaughtered and raped their way through the Balkans ran and now cowardly hide in Serbia or Russia. Some Albanians really copied the Serbian scum strategy. It is time to find them and get rid of them, along with the terror Serbs in the North.

How surprising is this??
Learn who are the people who lead the "independent" Kosovo and such criminal behaviour becomes normal. Thaci and Co. started their career by killing Albanians and that's probably how they will finish it.
Sooner or later Serbia will reinstate law and order in Kosovo and these butchers will be held responsible for creating atmosphere of lynching.

R.I.P

I hope too that who ever did this gets a life in prison.

But guys don't jump to conclusion because Kosovar media are saying this guy was working with Kosovar institutions for the returning of other people. Just maybe he was shot because he accepted Kosovos institutions. No matter who did this deserves life imprisonment.

Look at the state of Serbia today. It trails civilized countries in almost every category. Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader.
(cry me a river, 7 July 2012 17:32)

Good that Kosovo is not considered a country. Because Serbia is ahead of it in each and every category (expect maybe being a hub for drugs, and regarding exports of scrap metal) :)

Is it a case of ‘Condolences’ to the family members, and victims may rest in peace, but they were needed for revenge killing, which has nothing to do with justice, because justice is something alien to Albanians, but two less Non Albanians is a matter for Secret Rejoicing.

A group should never become a Country, until they understand justice, and publicly announces that revenge killing is not for those who think they are human, and the first matter for resolution, in order for Albanians to have the United Nations 6 Point Plan for Kosovo.

Albanians cry crocodile tears and just speak words regret and pretend sorrow, but they love the intimidation that their murders bring to all Non Albanians for Greater Albania.

The Albanians do not express any regrets or even speak the truth that the Albanians and their Allies planned the entire Kosovo war, with the exodus of the Albanians from Kosovo, which killed Albanians.

However, they are not offering the KLA to be killed in revenge, because Albanians would gladly sacrifice twice as many Albanians to steal other Peoples’ Land.

We have to acknowledge that Albanians have murdered Non Albanians for no reason,

The Albanians were never really under occupation like the Serbs were, because they were everyone’s Puppet.

I would like to express my sincere condolences on the death of Serbian couple. I hope Police of Kosova will catch the perpetrators. But I am very irked how the story is being commented by most of Serbs. They are blaming a priori Albanians for committing this crime, even though there is no suspicious person. Let the authorities to do their work! We should not also preclude the possibility that they might have been killed by their fellow Serbs. There are a lot of similar cases, when Serbs have killed each other.

(Ari Gold, 7 July 2012 11:18)

Of course, according to the Serbs, you are wrong because according to the Serbs the ROSU guy could not be shot by the unarmed Serbs protesting peacefully

Further to my previous comment:

"There are reports that Jevtic (one of the victims) was working closely with Kosovo Authorities and KPS"....this might not have gone down well with anti-Kosovar Serbs, including MUP and Serbian Mafia from North Mitrovica.

Serbs like the victim often are called not to accept salaries from the Koasovar Government or work for them, otherwise...

May he rest in peace, I suggest that FBI should be called to support a joint KPS, Eulex and NATO investigation

Condolences to the family.
Red & Black, you make a valid point. The point is to strive to be better, no matter the roadblocks Serb extremists put in front of Kosovo.

Common, you speak with prejudice. Think about Serbia for a moment. It's been a state much longer than Kosovo has and it's still behaves like a backward society.
Let me remind you: political killings, massive corruption, executions on the streets of Belgrade, bombs going off, repressed minorities (Albanians, Roma and gays) plus everything that happened in the 1990s.

Is this how a modern European country should behave?
And, you people have the nerve to call the West hypochrites!
I know this will fall on deaf ears since most of you are programmed to blame others for your own shortcommings. Pity we live in such a world.

Real sad to see this still happens in what we're told is the most multiethnic state in Europe.

And Kosovo government official just said he "encouraged Serbs to return". Now we know why.

"Let me remind you: political killings, massive corruption, executions on the streets of Belgrade, bombs going off, repressed minorities (Albanians, Roma and gays) plus everything that happened in the 1990s. Is this how a modern European country should behave?"

(cry me a river, 7 July 2012 15:01)

A very good observation: The 'democratic' Kosovo nowadays under Thaci is comparable to YU in the 1990s under Milosevic - regarding many things. And no, it's not like a modern European country should behave - in both cases.

"Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader."

cry me a river

Forgott to ask you one question. In what area are albanians more skillfull then serbs. If you can come up with one thing I'll give you two thumbs up. And, of course, nothing crime realted counts. In that area you are the number one, everyone knows that. I'm talking about sports, science, art etc.

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, MAKING OFFENDING ACCUSATIONS DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ANYTHING GOOD!

Condolences to the family members, and victims may rest in peace.

Same comments from Serbs each time such a tragic event happens, while Kosovars express regret and sorrow wishing perpetrators are caught whomever they might be.

Members of families to victims of the Serbian terror are taking revenge? Albanians were always under occupation (romans, turks and than serbo-slavs) never had their own state to protect them, made the own rules, whom ever you are, you hurt them and if you are lucky you are prison-ed and while inside you will be safe, when out you will be made to pay for your dids. No matter who you were, simple person or someone in power.

Others say "its MUP, and they are very efficient, killing serbs since the capitulation, trying to make international and kosovar authorities and Albanians look bad", this can also be true.

Looking from the outside, the fact that it has been so difficult to catch perpetrators by EULEX and NATO (even if we write of KPS), points to the second theory as more likely?

Readers, without prejudice, you tell me what you think?

R, I, P. My sincerre Condolences to the family.
This is not just a loss of two Serbian people but first I see as two Kosovo Citizens that happen to be Serbs. I hope and strongly believe that whoever did this crime will be brought to justice and get the deserved punishement. I did read kosovo media and KPS strongly disagree that this is a ethnic motivated as the person was very close to Kosovo institutions. Wait and see and hope to see the real criminals of this act get the punishement, untill then i suggest no rush.

"Serbs do it all the time, and now its a tragedy?"

Eagle

Oh really, perhaps you can enlighten us with information about when an albanian was killed in Presevo or any other part of Serbia?

Comm. Parrisson & MikeC

I wasn't only speaking of what happened in the 1990s. I'm referring to what's happening in Serbia today. Serbia, as I stated earlier, has been a state a lot longer than Kosovo. And, it should be light years away when it comes to everything. But, it's not. Like it or not, they're both in the same boat.

MikeC, no high horse here. Kosovo is a post war country trying to move forward. As in the rest of the region corruption is rampant. The judicial system in still in it's fledgling state. Nevertheless, it's moving forward.
Kosovo is far from being an oasis. But, it's free and far better than when under Serbian rule. As long as Serbia keeps up their policies toward their neighbors,Kosovo included, Thaqi will keep getting elected even though people dislike him.

Look at the state of Serbia today. It trails civilized countries in almost every category. Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader.

Very sad to hear that news. If this is the deed of albanians I feel ashamed as an albanian who wants to live in peace with all the neighbours.Nobody deserves to lose his live because of his/her ethnicity or religion. Stop killings once and for all.Think about the future of your children.

"Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader."

cry me a river

How about sports to begin with!

I would just like to add to all the Albanians reading this article and writing their little comments. Get a life and hang all your heads in shame. The only outcome Serbs have is to send in their military and restore peace.

This specific couple were well known in the community for a kosovar unity regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political views. I am pretty sure no Albanian kosovar committed this crime. The truth will come out, so far there are no suspects, but you can bet your @$$ the criminal will be found, and sent to prison for rest of his life. Serbia needs to do their investigation as well, the criminal could well be living in Serbia or in N. Kosova.

"Good that Kosovo is not considered a country. Because Serbia is ahead of it in each and every category (expect maybe being a hub for drugs, and regarding exports of scrap metal) :)"

yeah, it also leads Kosova in terms of war crimes committed, in fact its well ahead on that front :-)

Serbs do it all the time, and now its a tragedy?

O well... Next headline

"If you can come up with one thing I'll give you two thumbs up..."
(MikeC, 7 July 2012 21:30)

Let me answer that question for you. Here are some areas in which Albanians are far ahead of you.

- Literature: Ismail Kadare, one of worlds major contemporary writers and many times candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature.

- Science: Ferid Murad, scientist and Nobel Prize Winner in medicine.

- Art: The brothers John and James Belushi, Bekim Fehmiu, Aleksander Moisiu.

- Music: Rita Ora, the famous Albanian-British singer and songwriter. Born in Kosova, moved to Great-Brittain when she was only 1 year old. Her songs "R.I.P." and "Hot right now" topped the UK Singles charts for weeks.

- Sport: Majlinda Kelmendi (Agim already mentioned her)

- Politics: Josepth (Joe) DioGuardi, an Albanian-American politician. He served in the House of Representatives. He is now the president of the American Albanian Civic League (AACL).

- World peace: Mother Theresa (Gonxhe Bojaxhiu), an Albanian nun and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have only named the most famous ones, there are many more well known Albanians in each category.

Now, let me ask you a question: can you come up with names of famous Serbs who can beat the Albanians in those areas? How many Serb Nobel Prize winners are there?

Just one among many others,

Well, actually, Tesla trumps all of them put together but let's not start a bidding war now on that.
Belushi brothers? Really? Don't forget Eliza Dusku while you are at it. She is in the same league.

Serbian achievers have already been told to you so I won't be wasting my time.
As far as Mother Teresa is concerned. She was so Albanian that she didn't want to be buried in Albania.

Bastards..

Peggy are you serious? I name at least 10 Albanians who have contributed a great deal in all sort of areas, and all you can come up is Tesla? Is there a Serbian scientist who has won the Nobel Prize? Is there a Serbian writer who is better known than Ismail Kadare? Is there a Serbian singer who is more famous than Rita Ora?

Are there Serbian actors in Hollywood who are more famous than the Belushi brothers and even Eliza Dushku? You say they are at the same league, well Serbs aren't even in the league.

Is there a Serb who is worldly known for his/her charity work like Mother Theresa? So because she wasn't buried in Albania (actually she came from an Albanian family in Macedonia) she is not Albanian? She has declared herself as Albanian numerous times and once even on tape.

Well you see my dear, we Albanians have much more to be proud of than you Serbs.

All you have contributed to this world can be seen in The Hague.

two lives have been lost and some of you here are comparing figure heads. child's play, 'my dad is stronger than your dad'. R.I.P. and condolences to victims families.this family was in Kosovo since 2004. dirty politics is the name of the game.

I don't know what expectation Serbia has or not. But it's a sad fact that Serbia is, in most aspects, behind European states, especially the EU members, and only ahead of a few states like Albania and Moldova - not to mention the pseudo-state of Kosovo.

Of course, according to the Serbs, you are wrong because according to the Serbs the ROSU guy could not be shot by the unarmed Serbs protesting peacefully

Real sad to see this still happens in what we're told is the most multiethnic state in Europe.

Further to my previous comment:

"There are reports that Jevtic (one of the victims) was working closely with Kosovo Authorities and KPS"....this might not have gone down well with anti-Kosovar Serbs, including MUP and Serbian Mafia from North Mitrovica.

Serbs like the victim often are called not to accept salaries from the Koasovar Government or work for them, otherwise...

May he rest in peace, I suggest that FBI should be called to support a joint KPS, Eulex and NATO investigation

Look at the state of Serbia today. It trails civilized countries in almost every category. Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader.

Good that Kosovo is not considered a country. Because Serbia is ahead of it in each and every category (expect maybe being a hub for drugs, and regarding exports of scrap metal) :)

R.I.P

I hope too that who ever did this gets a life in prison.

But guys don't jump to conclusion because Kosovar media are saying this guy was working with Kosovar institutions for the returning of other people. Just maybe he was shot because he accepted Kosovos institutions. No matter who did this deserves life imprisonment.

Forgott to ask you one question. In what area are albanians more skillfull then serbs. If you can come up with one thing I'll give you two thumbs up. And, of course, nothing crime realted counts. In that area you are the number one, everyone knows that. I'm talking about sports, science, art etc.

Let me answer that question for you. Here are some areas in which Albanians are far ahead of you.

- Literature: Ismail Kadare, one of worlds major contemporary writers and many times candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature.

- Science: Ferid Murad, scientist and Nobel Prize Winner in medicine.

- Art: The brothers John and James Belushi, Bekim Fehmiu, Aleksander Moisiu.

- Music: Rita Ora, the famous Albanian-British singer and songwriter. Born in Kosova, moved to Great-Brittain when she was only 1 year old. Her songs "R.I.P." and "Hot right now" topped the UK Singles charts for weeks.

- Sport: Majlinda Kelmendi (Agim already mentioned her)

- Politics: Josepth (Joe) DioGuardi, an Albanian-American politician. He served in the House of Representatives. He is now the president of the American Albanian Civic League (AACL).

- World peace: Mother Theresa (Gonxhe Bojaxhiu), an Albanian nun and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have only named the most famous ones, there are many more well known Albanians in each category.

Now, let me ask you a question: can you come up with names of famous Serbs who can beat the Albanians in those areas? How many Serb Nobel Prize winners are there?

"Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader."

Peggy are you serious? I name at least 10 Albanians who have contributed a great deal in all sort of areas, and all you can come up is Tesla? Is there a Serbian scientist who has won the Nobel Prize? Is there a Serbian writer who is better known than Ismail Kadare? Is there a Serbian singer who is more famous than Rita Ora?

Are there Serbian actors in Hollywood who are more famous than the Belushi brothers and even Eliza Dushku? You say they are at the same league, well Serbs aren't even in the league.

Is there a Serb who is worldly known for his/her charity work like Mother Theresa? So because she wasn't buried in Albania (actually she came from an Albanian family in Macedonia) she is not Albanian? She has declared herself as Albanian numerous times and once even on tape.

Well you see my dear, we Albanians have much more to be proud of than you Serbs.

All you have contributed to this world can be seen in The Hague.

This is a sad story. I hope who ever did this get's caught and send to prison for life. Serb or Albanian it dosen't matter.

"Heck, I'd like to see one category in which Serbia is a leader."

How about sports to begin with!

R, I, P. My sincerre Condolences to the family.
This is not just a loss of two Serbian people but first I see as two Kosovo Citizens that happen to be Serbs. I hope and strongly believe that whoever did this crime will be brought to justice and get the deserved punishement. I did read kosovo media and KPS strongly disagree that this is a ethnic motivated as the person was very close to Kosovo institutions. Wait and see and hope to see the real criminals of this act get the punishement, untill then i suggest no rush.

And Kosovo government official just said he "encouraged Serbs to return". Now we know why.

Good that Kosovo is not considered a country. Because Serbia is ahead of it in each and every category (expect maybe being a hub for drugs, and regarding exports of scrap metal) :)

Woow, didn't expect for Serbia to have so low aspirations to just be ahead of Kosovo which is a black hole...

I would just like to add to all the Albanians reading this article and writing their little comments. Get a life and hang all your heads in shame. The only outcome Serbs have is to send in their military and restore peace.

This specific couple were well known in the community for a kosovar unity regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political views. I am pretty sure no Albanian kosovar committed this crime. The truth will come out, so far there are no suspects, but you can bet your @$$ the criminal will be found, and sent to prison for rest of his life. Serbia needs to do their investigation as well, the criminal could well be living in Serbia or in N. Kosova.

Now, let me ask you a question: can you come up with names of famous Serbs who can beat the Albanians in those areas? How many Serb Nobel Prize winners are there?

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

Well, actually, Tesla trumps all of them put together but let's not start a bidding war now on that.
Belushi brothers? Really? Don't forget Eliza Dusku while you are at it. She is in the same league.

Serbian achievers have already been told to you so I won't be wasting my time.
As far as Mother Teresa is concerned. She was so Albanian that she didn't want to be buried in Albania.

I hope they catch the perpetrators, lock them up and throw away the key!

RIP

God Bless their souls.

My deepest condolences to the families.

RIP

"Serbs do it all the time, and now its a tragedy?"

Oh really, perhaps you can enlighten us with information about when an albanian was killed in Presevo or any other part of Serbia?

Rest in Peace. I hope the police find the perpetrator(s) ASAP and lock them for a longg time.

Sincerely,

Just one among many others,

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

Can you tell us some of the many others?

Bastards..

Kosovo: if you are a albanian it's paradise
if you are a non albanian it's hell

RIP!

Whoever has done this is a monster.

RIP!

Very sad to hear that news. If this is the deed of albanians I feel ashamed as an albanian who wants to live in peace with all the neighbours.Nobody deserves to lose his live because of his/her ethnicity or religion. Stop killings once and for all.Think about the future of your children.

Whoever did this I hope that person(s) will burn in hell! Condolences to the family!

No doubt, whoever did this needs to be caught and punished.
Condolences to the victims families and friends.
RIP.

two lives have been lost and some of you here are comparing figure heads. child's play, 'my dad is stronger than your dad'. R.I.P. and condolences to victims families.this family was in Kosovo since 2004. dirty politics is the name of the game.

(icj1, 8 July 2012 06:05)

I don't know what expectation Serbia has or not. But it's a sad fact that Serbia is, in most aspects, behind European states, especially the EU members, and only ahead of a few states like Albania and Moldova - not to mention the pseudo-state of Kosovo.
