For someone that lives in a capitalist country or purports to be living in one, you come out with some of the most incredible statements. So very soon I expect to see pictures of you in Kosovo filling your basket full of gold.

Sorry, but you probably did not notice that the above was the claim made by DSS. I said that they were wrong and should pay more attention to you who are the CE of the B92 forums. As you correctly pointed out "how much is it going to cost to bring this resource to the surface and will you is able to sell it on the open market at a competitive price". I fully agree with you (how couldn't I) that DSS is coming out with some of the most incredible statements.

You do know the US won the Vietnam and Iraqi wars?

Even if there was 5000 billion in minerals, do you think your Albanians would see much of that? No try the US Corporation and all your lot would get is the poison they would leave behind, much like the depleted uranium your lot are breathing in today.

Chad is one of the poorest in the world, but if you dig deep enough into the ground you will find resources and minerals and even oil. Now the question is how much is it going to cost to bring this resource to the surface and will you is able to sell it on the open market at a competitive price?

Here is another example for you to think about. Let’s talk about coal, which in the Kosovo region there is plenty. I can have coal dug up in Australia, washed, crushed into powder, transported to a port and loaded on a ship then delivered to the Italian port of Bari cheaper than you can extract it in Kosovo and do the same.
The US diplomat is pissing in the Albanians’ pockets –to make you feel good - and nothing else mate. If there was that much wealth in the ground then the communists would have used it. The communists may have been troglodytes, but they were not stupid.
It’s the same report that the Soviets made about Afghanistan; billions and billions in minerals. The problem was that the cost of extracting was too high for any benefit when you can purchase the same for a quarter of the price on the market; Kosovo has lots of shale oil, but it currently costs anywhere between $900 and $1,200 per gallon to process, but you can purchase oil for $120 per barrel??????????

How much memory serves me, was a minister for Kosovo and Metohija and the DSC / a! Also remember that i just had some success, but good rhetoric by which God has indeed endowed!
He holds office for the attacks on the new government!

I do not know how long more are we going to accuse each other. It does not lead us anything, we must look to the future and see how to solve the Kosovo problem. Always will find someone who will not match a solution but maybe at that point the only solution, then what Kostunica does not offer a solution or platform.

DSS had the change to salvage something from Kosovo in the Vienna negotiations in 2007. They most likely could have gotten the north at the time. The policy of NO TO EVERYTHING brought Kosovo independence while Serbia got nothing.
(Painter, 11 August 2012 21:20)

But from DSS' point of view Kosovo, could not legally declare independence because that would have been against 1244 so they did not have to compromise.

Unfortunately DSS was reading the Serbian version of 1244 as many others in these forums. There is nothing worse when politicians not only spread lies to their citizens (especially to the Serb populace who has a history in teking for true whatever the politicians say), but politicians also start to believe those lies themselves as being the truth.

"Rocky" has been smoking too much of that rock I see. Your band of organ stealing, raping thieves have about as much chance of defeating a Serbian Army as you have of becoming civilized humans. That equates to about 0%
(Dragan, 11 August 2012 17:36)

That's obviously correct since the chance of 1244 being repealed and Serbian Army returning to Kosovo equates to about 0 thus not giving a chance to the band and the Serbian Army to fight...

I have been very impressed with the DSS as the "right wing" opposition. There was a lot to like about Seselj and the Radicals, but in the end their racist/fascist tendencies would manifest, making them politically, indeed morally, untenable. The DSS caries none of that baggage and thus possesses a whole different level of moral authority. They are better of outside the government. Their voice, unencumbered by political alliances, is invaluable to the discourse regarding K&M, while their own long term political interests can't help but benefit. I don't know if Kostunica well ever again be relevant within Serbia's government, but I believe history will remember him very well.

Serbs need to take the other side of the coin into consideration too. What countries like Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain signed up to in the 1970's and early 80's seemed very "rosy" at the time. It however slowly grew into a nightmare of an headace as the decades passed by. You never know what the future brings.
On the other hand the relationship between the slavic brothers of orthodox faith in Serbia and Russia have been developed through almost a millennium, independent of who happened to sit on the "throne" in Moscow and Belgrade throughout the years. Life of an individual (ruler) is very short indeed. While building bonds between nations is an enterprize nutured over centuries.

the more betrayal there is, the more terrible will the consequences be for the Albanians.

so, before they start chest-beating, they should know that there is nothing that they can do to prevent their punishment. the only question is rather in regard to the magnitude.

if Nikolić or Vučić should act against serbian interests, in the long run the Albanians would have to pay for that...

and do not fall for western-propaganda, it is not about money... it is about moral, justice and history. and all these are on the side of Serbia.

Aleksandar Vucic has been accused for many things. The accusation that Aleksandar Vucic will betray Serbian interests is ridiculous. If someone takes care of Serbian interests, those are Tomislav Nikolic and Aleksandar Vucic . The political platform that will form the basis for negotiations with the so-called state of Kosovo will be adopted in the Serbian Parliament.

"“In a material sense, Kosovo and Metohija is worth a lot more. According to free assessment of western agencies and institutions, the value of mineral resources is between USD 4,500bn and USD 5,000bn. U.S. Diplomat Philip Gordon asked from Belgrade, it was one of his five requests, to renounce the energy resources in its southern province,” the DSS pointed out"

Obviously the DSS is not aware about the expert assessment made by the CE of the B92 forums sj that Kosovo has nothing, otherwise DSS would not make such ridiculous statements!

You must understand that many "empires" have tried to take our holy Kosovo and some succeeded for periods of time but, we always take our Kosovo back )

Albanians ate known around the world! For their heroin, thieving, organ trading and general all around backwards society. No amount of Western support could fix that. The "West" will soon implode and your attempts at theft of holy Serbian Lands will result in a very painful lesson... A lesson well deserved and long time coming.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of a soon to be great chapter in our long Serbian history ))

Wow, I thought that the Serbs were infact trying to hold on to Kosova somehow for historical reasons! Now this statement that Kosova is worth how many $ billions! This changes the situation 1000%!!! The current elected leaders in power in Kosova, now with everything in the open will in no way be able to compromise on anything in regards to mitovica in northern Kosova! I've copied the posting & am emailing to some very dear Friends in Kosova today! They have probably seen it firsthand themselves. Nevertheless, it would be strait, suicide for any of the leaders of kosova to compromise at this critical point! The fact that Serbia has been trying to get a piece of the territory of Kosova, makes sense now! Well rest assured Serbia! The days of you somehow obtaining a piece of this holy Kosova, are completely over. Infact they have been over since 02/17/2008!!! Serbia and it's excuses of trying to preserve its Serb identity, it's blasfemmious references to its wanting to protect its religious sights & so on! It's all been about the wealth Kosova processes! And now that the truth is finally out, you Serbia will definatly need the Russians along with Thier entire military might to even have a chance at occupying Kosova again! You thought the albanians were vicious in protecting Kosova in 1999? Wait till the population of Kosova gets wind of this! They will now be completely invincible to any aggressor! Perfect timing, thank u, Thank u!

Interesting that formal Seselj disciple is willing to talk compromise. Yes, Vucic changed colors somewhat for the power but ask yourself why he believe road to power run through EU and Kosovo compromise? Why Tadic believe this, too, in last government? All very well that Kostunica and DSS not willing to sell out Kosovo, but they currently lack the votes. Why is that? I think that hidden behind all the rhetoric is reality that none of the politicians wants to admit. I see over last few days that few posters here calling for Kostunica return in next government, and that I understand, because we are all quite frustrated, but we must seriously ask what he could do? Neutrality in time of economic and environmental crisis may be very bad for Serbia. We all wish to believe that Russia and maybe China could provide what we would forfeit from EU but can we be so certain? What does China give N Korea? What does Russia give Cuba, Venezuela? All these countries are desperately poor. What great advantages are enjoyed by the pro-Russian faction living in Ukraine? What ever happen to the cozy ties between Russia and Belarus? We Serbs need analyze facts. Do we really see Putin as honorable man in face of all news about corruption, elimination of political opponents, lack of free press, lack of free speech (see Pussy Riot)? And just now, I see on news that Medvedev taking heat for his 'indecision' during war with Georgia in 2008. Hmm, what Putin up to there?

There was a lot to like about Seselj and the Radicals, but in the end their racist/fascist tendencies would manifest, making them politically, indeed morally, untenable. The DSS caries none of that baggage and thus possesses a whole different level of moral authority. They are better of outside the government. Their voice, unencumbered by political alliances, is invaluable to the discourse regarding K&M, while their own long term political interests can't help but benefit. I don't know if Kostunica well ever again be relevant within Serbia's government, but I believe history will remember him very well.

Serbs need to take the other side of the coin into consideration too. What countries like Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain signed up to in the 1970's and early 80's seemed very "rosy" at the time. It however slowly grew into a nightmare of an headace as the decades passed by. You never know what the future brings.
On the other hand the relationship between the slavic brothers of orthodox faith in Serbia and Russia have been developed through almost a millennium, independent of who happened to sit on the "throne" in Moscow and Belgrade throughout the years. Life of an individual (ruler) is very short indeed. While building bonds between nations is an enterprize nutured over centuries.

DSS is kinda lame I think. I mean, they do not offer explicit concrete solutions. Dveri, also eurosceptics offer explicit solutions and programs, so I like them more.

"Rocky" has been smoking too much of that rock I see. Your band of organ stealing, raping thieves have about as much chance of defeating a Serbian Army as you have of becoming civilized humans. That equates to about 0%
(Dragan, 11 August 2012 17:36)

That's obviously correct since the chance of 1244 being repealed and Serbian Army returning to Kosovo equates to about 0 thus not giving a chance to the band and the Serbian Army to fight...

DSS had the change to salvage something from Kosovo in the Vienna negotiations in 2007. They most likely could have gotten the north at the time. The policy of NO TO EVERYTHING brought Kosovo independence while Serbia got nothing.
(Painter, 11 August 2012 21:20)

But from DSS' point of view Kosovo, could not legally declare independence because that would have been against 1244 so they did not have to compromise.

Unfortunately DSS was reading the Serbian version of 1244 as many others in these forums. There is nothing worse when politicians not only spread lies to their citizens (especially to the Serb populace who has a history in teking for true whatever the politicians say), but politicians also start to believe those lies themselves as being the truth.

I do not know how long more are we going to accuse each other. It does not lead us anything, we must look to the future and see how to solve the Kosovo problem. Always will find someone who will not match a solution but maybe at that point the only solution, then what Kostunica does not offer a solution or platform.

For someone that lives in a capitalist country or purports to be living in one, you come out with some of the most incredible statements. So very soon I expect to see pictures of you in Kosovo filling your basket full of gold. Little wonder the US has you guys mesmerised. Next they will be they will be giving you blankets for land. You do know the US won the Vietnam and Iraqi wars?

Even if there was 5000 billion in minerals, do you think your Albanians would see much of that? No try the US Corporation and all your lot would get is the poison they would leave behind, much like the depleted uranium your lot are breathing in today.

The DSS are playing politics.

Chad is one of the poorest in the world, but if you dig deep enough into the ground you will find resources and minerals and even oil. Now the question is how much is it going to cost to bring this resource to the surface and will you is able to sell it on the open market at a competitive price?
Here is another example for you to think about. Let’s talk about coal, which in the Kosovo region there is plenty. I can have coal dug up in Australia, washed, crushed into powder, transported to a port and loaded on a ship then delivered to the Italian port of Bari cheaper than you can extract it in Kosovo and do the same.
The US diplomat is pissing in the Albanians’ pockets –to make you feel good - and nothing else mate. If there was that much wealth in the ground then the communists would have used it. The communists may have been troglodytes, but they were not stupid.
It’s the same report that the Soviets made about Afghanistan; billions and billions in minerals. The problem was that the cost of extracting was too high for any benefit when you can purchase the same for a quarter of the price on the market; Kosovo has lots of shale oil, but it currently costs anywhere between $900 and $1,200 per gallon to process, but you can purchase oil for $120 per barrel??????????

Exactly, excellent analysis as always... that's why you are the CE of B92 forums and DSS should pay more attention to your preachings!

How much memory serves me, was a minister for Kosovo and Metohija and the DSC / a! Also remember that i just had some success, but good rhetoric by which God has indeed endowed!
He holds office for the attacks on the new government!

Sorry, but you probably did not notice that the above was the claim made by DSS. I said that they were wrong and should pay more attention to you who are the CE of the B92 forums. As you correctly pointed out "how much is it going to cost to bring this resource to the surface and will you is able to sell it on the open market at a competitive price". I fully agree with you (how couldn't I) that DSS is coming out with some of the most incredible statements.
