Serbs unblock court in Kosovska Mitrovica

This matters more than any 'negotiations' corrupt politicians have with each other. The Serbs there are simply not going to accept being ruled by institutions in Pristina which are illegal and unable to physically impose itself on the north. The West being there will not allow the situation to spiral into full out violence under their watch. This means if the Serbs in the North are willing to die for where their community's survival then these "agreements" with institutions Serbia's Constitution does not recognize is obsolete.

The Serbs will keep going because they have nothing to lose but what's most important to them. The West wont physically remove them, the Albanian nationalists physically can't.

Marjan Ilinčić, Zoran Čavić, Draganu Milojević, Miodragu Ralić, Nebojša Jović, Aleksandar Arsenijević and Avni Krasniqi are accused of more than 20 crimes during the March 2008 riots.
--
And some people claim that the north is lawless but we see here that Serbs are in court for alleged crimes.

Rewind to March 2004, the Albanian pogrom against Serbs, and no one has faced justice for the crimes committed then. It just goes to show that the south of KiM is in fact lawless.

"Strong EULEX forces"(???)

that are unable to deal with few hundred ??? leave this job to KPS.

These guys are charged with over 20 crimes and the Serbs are giving them political coverage to their crimes?? my very best compliments.. wherever Serbia rules the outlaws are heros... for over 25 years now... Arkan rings a bell??

Singling out these six for prosecution seems to me unjust and more probably a political decision. The events of that day owe more to mistakes made by the Quint leadership in Pristina then to anyone on the ground. The occupation of the court building by local Kosovo Serbs was a political act and the use of force against them was not appropriate or necessary. The Quint wanted to make a point and they sure did, that use of force by a peacekeeping mission should be reserved for life-threatening situations. The report prepared by the Ugandan judge for the UN Secretary General apportions blame where it belongs, on the then-UNMIK leadership. That report should have been introduced as evidence in the trial and EULEX should have demanded it to ensure all the facts were known.

This article is propaganda.

Several close friends who are present at the demonstration say that no one was injured at all, no Eulex, no Kfor, no protestors.

It's all quiet and nothing is wrong. This article is an effort to demonise Serbs in the eyes of the world.

Don't believe it drive down there and see for yourself.

Try reading the story again or slowly. The injuries are from 2008 not today!

Kosovska Mitrovica District Head Radenko Nedeljković has stated that he talked to a representative of the EULEX mission and informed him that they could not be present during the delivery of the verdict because it would be another provocation of northern Kosovo Serbs.

It seems like for Serbs anything and everything is provocation!
Just don't understand this A...es

(Gerard Gallucci, 28 March 2013 13:25)

So those who killed the Ukrainian soldier are in Pristina, right? The ones who actually took the aim and pulled the trigger are not responsible. When are you guys going to stop this "you made me do it, it is not my fault" kind of excuses? It does not work and it just makes you look like children.

@ A.Gold
But what can you? You cannot answer to friendly wishes for passover.

You can run but you cannot hide! When are you going to learn this? Eventually all scumbags will be brought to justice. Whether its your upper echelon being handed over on silver platter by your very own government like Mladic, Milosevic, Karadzic etc or war criminals being snatched up by British SAS in Bosnia like in "Operation Tango", justice will be served. Here is a fantastic article for all of you Nikolic lovers out there. He was all for turning in your coveted hero Mladic. "Mladic's arrest is our obligation". Like a rat in a hole.....Mladic was captured.

Don't you guys go crazy with happiness all the times Haradinaj and Limaj had charges dropped on account of lack of evidence that apparently disappeared or committed suicide during the proceedings? Arkan's been long dead my friend. Your Arkans are still alive and kicking. I think living as a gastarbeiter has kept you in a time warp.

Anyways, three were convicted and three were acquitted. One of them ironically being an Albanian.

Everything's a political decision in Kosovo.

Seems like selective justice to me. Where are trials and sentences for the provocateurs of the 2004 riots in Kosovo? Eulex stays away from that, like a rat from a cat.

2004 was your beloved UNMIK, so what is your beef now? You seem to quote UNMIK lately, yet while UNMIK was governing Kosova you denied its existence. Damn if you do it, damn if you don't. You serbs are a funny lot. Can't you guys ever get it right!?

Gerard Gallucci, 28 March 2013 13:25
Shame the American Contingency had some that allowed their personal bias to prevent them from doing the job they were hired to do, wasn't it?

Not for long, not for long....

Another example of "entrepreneurs" denying justice the wild west aka Northern Kosova.

But don't worry guys, EULEX will be gone in 14 months time when Pristhtina decides not to extend EULEX's mandate.

(Reader, 28 March 2013 15:53)

First of all, I hope that the person who pulled the trigger – actually threw a grenade - and murdered the Ukrainian police officer is found and brought to justice, and if not, then may he burn in hell forever. Having said that, no, no one in Pristina pulled the trigger, but I must agree with Mr. Gallucci that they were absolutely, unequivocally responsible for putting this innocent person into harm’s way. Seriously, for them to make a decision to use force during this incredibly emotional moment was utterly careless and just plain stupid. Anyone who can’t recognize Pristina’s culpability in this should perhaps take the blinders of hate off and try to look at the bigger picture.

more probably a political decision. The events of that day owe more to mistakes made by the Quint leadership in Pristina then to anyone on the ground. The occupation of the court building by local Kosovo Serbs was a political act and the use of force against them was not appropriate or necessary"

Sounds like "if the Fuehrer would know this, he would do something against it"...it shows a mixture of desinformation for naive Serbs and covering of a common approach of ALL involved Western institutions

The Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice found Judge Amin's conduct to be below the standard of service expected of a judicial officer holder in this respect and have issued Judge Amin with a formal warning.”

Metee Amin is now the prosecutor in the case in KM. If somebody has a performance "below the standard" with a "formal warning" its good enough for EULEX where possibly "standards" are not important

Please Please provide links to this supposed "evidence". Its easy to make statements like that and not back them up. We all want to know is the statement 100% true, 75% 50% etc etc or total BS. I find it REALLY hard to believe though.... I would love to read where it says that EULEX is explicitly responsible for the soldiers death because EULEX killed him? That statement just sounds stupid.

Where exactly did I mention that EULEX were responsible? EULEX weren't even operational in March 2008. Love the way you Albanians make up stories out of thin air.

Anyway, I quote:
--
The Ukrainian interior minister also pointed to the shortcomings in communication between the troops who took part in the operation on March 17.

"Considering the date, March 17, the operation was very difficult, because we all know what March 17 means to the people in that part of Kosovo. Secondly, I don’t believe there was enough necessary planning before the operation," he stressed.

Lutsenko said that Ukraine was not planning to withdraw its troops from Kosovo, for the time being.

He voiced the opinion that UNMIK should take responsibility for the death of the Ukrainian soldier and added that otherwise, the issue would be resolved in the Ukrainian parliament.
--

Here, read for yourself. The Ukraine clearly blamed UNMIK for the death. Also, they saw it in bad taste that this came about on March 17, as we all know what happened on that date in 2004. You guys are disgusting people my friend.

Anything that Serbs in Kosovo do against EULEX is legal because resistance against occupying force is legal. Of course, the occupying force may do what they want to do. EULEX, NAZIs, NATO, etc. Te winner of the conflict wins the legal argument. Killing NAZIs in WWII was a crime only until the NAZIs were defeated, then it became a heroic struggle.

(David, 28 March 2013 20:12)

Internationals can be blamed of course for making a rush, highly risky decision, that is sending peacekeeping forces in a den of "businessman" armed to the teeth. Instead they should have played cat and mouse like they have been doing and are still doing now, get those "businessman" tired, rebuild burned custom posts and play LEGO with logs and barricades. However, that is not exactly what Mr. Gallucci is saying. "It is unjust to single out these", "owe more to mistakes made by the Quint leadership in Pristina then to anyone on the ground". That sentence "than anyone on the ground" I seriously have a problem with.

I have my doubts that the murder on the Ukrainian peacekeeper will ever be solved.

Seems like selective justice to me. Where are trials and sentences for the provocateurs of the 2004 riots in Kosovo? Eulex stays away from that, like a rat from a cat. (winston, 28. mart 2013 18:11) Selective justice? That opinion has been formed due to Selective Journalism.

(Reader, 28 March 2013 23:59)

After the US embassy was attacked in Libya last year and four Americans were killed, in the aftermath, the overwhelming consensus is that Washington clearly screwed up by not providing adequate security despite repeated warnings that the situation was deteriorating. While I think we can all agree that the perpetrators of this crime should be found and brought to justice, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t point a finger squarely at the American Leadership and hold them accountable for their misjudgment. Here in the US, it seems that nobody even cares about capturing those perpetrators. Rather, we are more interested in finding out who made these ill-advised decisions, and who should be held responsible.

So, taking this into consideration, if we were to take Mr. Gallucci’s statement, and apply it to the Libya scenario, then wouldn’t you agree that he is spot on?

Be careful what you defend. You wouldn’t want to appear as though you blindly support any and all aggression that is aimed at Serbs, would you?

Obviously, if you only read selective Serbian news only, you can't know that hundreds of people have been indicted and dozens convicted for the 2004 riots. Even though Serbs might be God's chosen people, they are not exempt from the laws that punish rioting.

"The EULEX representative said that his superiors decided whether they would attend the trial and not the Serbs."

This must have come as a shock to some Serbs who believe that heroic Serbs are the masters of the world and universe :)
