Another attack done by Albanians. These stupid attacks in trying to cause some damage and resistance is not helping the whole situation. Albanians are provoking for another war and with their idiotic mentality it is bound to happen. There is basically a civil war in Kosovo, the war has not ended. I don't understand why albanians on this forum think that they seen as any threat. Serbian police for god sakes, handled your KLA army or whatever and your true country men from Albania did nothing and did not want to take in any of your refugees that were flourishing in the country. Anyways, GOOD LUCK. and PS if a serb did this type of an attack, it would be considered a "WAR CRIME"..

In 1999 US/NATO said Kosovo division is out of question. Even Milosevic was said to agree to Kosovo division.

But we're told that US/NATO lost the war which was a great victory for Serbia... so why would Serbia care what US/NATO said ?!

And albanian media never mentioned when 1 million albanians attacked 2 serbian children.

@Ratko
nobody is trying to “steal Kosmet” Kosmet is for the people and preserved for future generations of all ethnicities. When you mention terrorising ethnicities be it Serb or Albanian both sides suffered equally in their own terms It was a war and people get terrorised by the war. Post-war generations were raised in an environment where “hating the enemy” was praised and this still is both camps. Our people get manipulated because our politicians dont want to solve problems but rather popularity contests. And your government in particular. They dont want to improve the lives of millions of people provide them with better prospect for the future but they aimlessly fight for things that are not important. Whereas my government is and was in constant power struggle plagued with corrupt politicians and major social problems. When it comes to Nato we all know why they went in it was to balance big world powers. I want my comments to convey to readers that Americans care about Albanians as much as Russians care about Serbs. They dont. they care about themselves and their interests. To all people that do care about this part of the world we must understand that we need to work together in the balkans to recognise each others positive contributions so we can provide for our families learn to accept our differences and have a win win situation where both Serbia and Kosovo excel to a better future. People are tired of this and thats why they get pushed into violence

This was a truly good post,but you could not stop there, you had to show your true self in a later post where you blame it on the Albanians and how someone cannot admit an Albanian would hurt a Serb
=======================================

Are you against people telling the truth? The truth is that Albanians do no take responsibility for the crimes they commit. Just read all the posts and there is your proof. Where did you see any Albanian admitting to hurting or killing Serbs even during the war let along since the war ended?
Then, where do you see Serbs killing Albanians in Kosovo? Where do you see Serbs vandalising Albanian cemeteries and constantly attacking Albanian people? Serbs who try to return to Kosovo are met with anger and violence.

The proof is all around.

Ayyy I can tell the N. Mitro Serbs, your leaders f... up big time. There was almost a decade after 1999 where any leader in Serbia could have whispered the word division and it would have been a done deal. Instead Serbia as always plays it greedy, an all or nothing kind of a deal. Now they entrapped themselves through a rushed constitution trying to one- up the Albanians and they have half of the world who have moved on. As always you yourselves have complicated things so much when there was no need to. All because of ego and thoughtless pride. There's almost zero chance now to do what you're suggesting. Serbia would have to go and beg around the world for the Albanian side to be a UN member. Then and only then there may be a slight chance some may change their minds. What you're suggesting now is like giving birth with your legs closed. Sometimes do-overs do not come by.

as far as I know the albanians they wouldn`t accept any serbian regime nonetheless if it is substantial autonomy or a country with 2 systems (like it was proposed by serbian gov back then) even if they get paid 2000E per month they simply don`t want any connection with serbian even if that meant just to show Kosovo under Serbia in the map and nothing more.

Good try, but no cigar! This incident has all the hallmarks of the well known, dirty Serb Propaganda machine! First they beat the sh.. Out of some poor Albanian minding his Business. Then later that evening, a explosive device is thrown at a empty Serb run Restaraunt? Supposedly Albanian retaliation? Then mr genius, I told u so, Pantic's statements of how nothing is being done to protect the Serbs, & how serbs and Albanians cannot live together. A fool would be able to see thru this Serbian smokescreen! 1'st anyone that has a brain, should already know that Albanians don't operate in this way. They just lack the hardwiring for these senseless type of actions. What would they benefit from this type of action, knowing the second round of negotiation's with Serbia are due to start in a few weeks? Absolutely, Nothing! On The other hand, Serbs that reside in Kosova are showing all the signs of being desperate, the serb leaders in northern Kosova, including Pantic, are trying to find a solid foundation, so that they can argue the serb minority in Kosova is facing repression before the E.U.! I think though, that this primitive Style propaganda & these Serb induced incident's will at the end be in vein! Even if they were truly perpetrated by the Albanians, as the Serb would have us all believe the international community along with NATO will look at it as a isolated incident & manageable. The E.U, U.S, NATO, know that the disturbances in the north of Kosova, are serb perpetrated!

Sorry, the Kosovo case opened the Pandora's box, and nothing else. An ethnic minority (which has an own 'mother country' called Albania) claims an own state in a region that has never been an own state.
(Comm. Parrisson, 14 August 2012 20:07)
The pandora's box argument is a little old and baseless. Serbs tried to intimidate the international community by claiming a domino effect if Kosovo was allowed to declare independence but the uniqueness of the situation still bares through. Even with the Russian orchestration in Georgia, no one bought into any similarities to Kosovo. There have been no new declarations citing Kosovo as a precedent.
Kosovo has documented oppression by the government to the point the UN had to assume control, an unprecedented action by the entire UNSC. As hard as you and other Serbs want to paint this as a "simple" separatist matter, it is not.
While the Serbs in Kosovo suffer from interethnic violence they do not suffer from state administrated oppression. Actions by the Kosovo govt have all been to enforce the same laws enacted by UNMIK under direction of the UNSC.
Serbs in Kosovo have not declared independence from Kosovo they maintain they are still a part of Serbia. A big difference-no pandora's box here.

pre 11 godina

lets steer away from the argument of "us are better then you lot" and start looking at the problem pragmatically. the bomb/grenade went off and that’s the fact. now why does nobody ask the question of why do we have so many guns in the north both from Albanian but specifically Serb side. we know that Serbs use the pre-text of being scared from Alb attack creation of greater Albania bla bla bla. but really I think this dispute can be overcome if we drop all the previous failed attempts trying to take things by force and this applies to both Albanians and Serbs and Eulex and KFor. It's ridiculous guarding barricades, guarding the highway, that's sheer madness. Going in with "special forces" is beyond insanity too. It's just a waste. How many more people need to be killed in this pointless conflict. What politicians hate to admit is that the north will have and does have special status where everybody should be able to be completely free. Move free. Live free. Regardless if you’re a Serb, Albanian or any ethnicity. This will happen. But it is the responsibility of the community to remove guns from the street, jail the criminals, fight contraband, bring to justice war crime perpetrators. Kfor, Eulex, Russian-Chinese eastern alliance is not going to fight criminals for us. We are all responsible for this. And we are making things worst by sitting and doing nothing. waiving our flags of pride of who is superior

What do you suffer from? Is it from trying to steal everything Serbian? You are on foreign soil if you live in Kosmet and you are an occupier do you understand that? Whenever Serbs are attacked this is justified and you laugh about it but when other way around it's 'ooohh those Serbs have to pay.' Just enjoy it while you can. Maybe this guy didn't pay taci the terrorist tax so they came after him.

I do not agree with you iso. As what you are basically saying is, that wherever Albanians live as a minority, they must be independent. They must have their independence form Serbia in Kosovo, they would have to, if N. KiM was independent of Pristina, be independent. Then the minority Albanians in Macedonia must also be independent because of N. KiM Serbs, and on and on. Do you actually pay attention to what you are saying? All minorities in the Balkans must have independence in the Balkans because the Serbs in N. KiM do? Ridiculous. What about all minorities must have rights because Albanians in KiM must be independent? Why do you not see it that way, why didn't separatist Albanians not open that Pandora's Box with their UDI? I think Pandora is asleep and well, she is used too often to support dangers of independence. Please be honest for a moment, and say to yourself, what is right for me, is also right for others. It is the right way to view things. As for Presevo, let the minorities deal with their own hardships there. It is not your responsibility - nor of the Serbs in N. KiM.

What would they benefit from this type of action, knowing the second round of negotiation's with Serbia are due to start in a few weeks? Absolutely, Nothing! On The other hand, Serbs that reside in Kosova are showing all the signs of being desperate, the serb leaders in northern Kosova, including Pantic, are trying to find a solid foundation, so that they can argue the serb minority in Kosova is facing repression before the E.U.! I think though, that this primitive Style propaganda & these Serb induced incident's will at the end be in vein! Even if they were truly perpetrated by the Albanians, as the Serb would have us all believe the international community along with NATO will look at it as a isolated incident & manageable.

Sorry, the Kosovo case opened the Pandora's box, and nothing else. An ethnic minority (which has an own 'mother country' called Albania) claims an own state in a region that has never been an own state.
(Comm. Parrisson, 14 August 2012 20:07)
The pandora's box argument is a little old and baseless. Serbs tried to intimidate the international community by claiming a domino effect if Kosovo was allowed to declare independence but the uniqueness of the situation still bares through. Even with the Russian orchestration in Georgia, no one bought into any similarities to Kosovo. There have been no new declarations citing Kosovo as a precedent.
Kosovo has documented oppression by the government to the point the UN had to assume control, an unprecedented action by the entire UNSC. As hard as you and other Serbs want to paint this as a "simple" separatist matter, it is not.
While the Serbs in Kosovo suffer from interethnic violence they do not suffer from state administrated oppression. Actions by the Kosovo govt have all been to enforce the same laws enacted by UNMIK under direction of the UNSC.
Serbs in Kosovo have not declared independence from Kosovo they maintain they are still a part of Serbia. A big difference-no pandora's box here.

lets steer away from the argument of "us are better then you lot" and start looking at the problem pragmatically. the bomb/grenade went off and that’s the fact. now why does nobody ask the question of why do we have so many guns in the north both from Albanian but specifically Serb side. we know that Serbs use the pre-text of being scared from Alb attack creation of greater Albania bla bla bla. but really I think this dispute can be overcome if we drop all the previous failed attempts trying to take things by force and this applies to both Albanians and Serbs and Eulex and KFor. It's ridiculous guarding barricades, guarding the highway, that's sheer madness. Going in with "special forces" is beyond insanity too. It's just a waste. How many more people need to be killed in this pointless conflict. What politicians hate to admit is that the north will have and does have special status where everybody should be able to be completely free. Move free. Live free. Regardless if you’re a Serb, Albanian or any ethnicity. This will happen. But it is the responsibility of the community to remove guns from the street, jail the criminals, fight contraband, bring to justice war crime perpetrators. Kfor, Eulex, Russian-Chinese eastern alliance is not going to fight criminals for us. We are all responsible for this. And we are making things worst by sitting and doing nothing. waiving our flags of pride of who is superior

nobody is trying to “steal Kosmet” Kosmet is for the people and preserved for future generations of all ethnicities. When you mention terrorising ethnicities be it Serb or Albanian both sides suffered equally in their own terms It was a war and people get terrorised by the war. Post-war generations were raised in an environment where “hating the enemy” was praised and this still is both camps. Our people get manipulated because our politicians dont want to solve problems but rather popularity contests. And your government in particular. They dont want to improve the lives of millions of people provide them with better prospect for the future but they aimlessly fight for things that are not important. Whereas my government is and was in constant power struggle plagued with corrupt politicians and major social problems. When it comes to Nato we all know why they went in it was to balance big world powers. I want my comments to convey to readers that Americans care about Albanians as much as Russians care about Serbs. They dont. they care about themselves and their interests. To all people that do care about this part of the world we must understand that we need to work together in the balkans to recognise each others positive contributions so we can provide for our families learn to accept our differences and have a win win situation where both Serbia and Kosovo excel to a better future.

But what I truly find interesting, is that you will never admit that an Albanian committed a crime against a Serb - rather, they are "business disputes". Business disputes are not settled with explosives where I come from, but rather terrorism is conducted with things that blow up. Keep making apologies and excuses for your Albanians, that is surely the right way to achieve harmony and peace in KiM.

If you answer logically, and without bias, and no accusations please that Serb nationalists are dreaming, burned villages, blah, blah, blah, maybe rational people will see the Albanian side, maybe even some serbs. In the meantime, the way it is view by Serbs is that, separatist Albanians are attempting to, with their UDI, usurp Serbian territory.
