Priština's liaison officer resigns after two days

@Brian,

Why should Belgrade's man speak Albanian in Pristina. After all, he 's only visiting Serbia's southern province. This chap from Pristina was only speaking the official language of the country to which he belongs according to international law. As opposed to the law of the jungle. Otherwise known as NATO's law. Such fuss over trivial matters.

Oh well, have a nice trip back to Serbia's southern province.

This is news to me. Which/ what international law are you referring to?

As far as I'm aware, no international court or organisation has said that was Kosovo did was illegal. Quite the contrary actually.

@ Ian

Although it's perfectly legal to declare yourself a thief it remains illegal to thieve.

"I was convinced that the state policy regarding the full normalization of relations with Belgrade was precisely Serbia's recognition, but it seems that the policy is not such. Under these circumstances I do not accept to continue to work in the diplomatic service of Kosovo."

Strange, wasn't he a 'liaison officer' and not an ambassador? Exactly because of Kosovo is not a fully recognized country? Maybe not so smart that Pristina politicians tried to make people believe that these officers were genuine ambassadors with full diplomatic status.

Just waiting for Brians comment on how Serbia does everything to recognize Kosovo independent :)Looks like LJULJZIM will be going back to selling seeds and ice cream.

Dear Sir,

If Kosovo would have been a state there would be an embassy of Kosovo in Serbia. But Kosovo is not a state but a province. You were hired as an officer. Not as an ambassedor. So pretty strange to complain about the fact that you are not a .... ambassador.

The good point: this stresses the fact that Kosovo is not a state!

Great news! I'd pay (for a cheap seat) to see albanians fighting albanians.

Serbia is doing everything to recognize kosova independence. With the border guards and customs agents and meetings and conferences with kosova! Facts are facts!

How dare the "liaison officer" speak Serbian in Serbia!!! That seems dumb! Serbia didn't even appoint someone who knows any Albanian!

(Dorothy, 20 June 2013 12:56)

How can someone thieve something which belongs to them? And illegal according to whom?

Why isn't Mr. Peci the leader of the albanian minority in Serbia? He clearly knows the history of the region. I bet he even speaks Serbian to his kids at home, so as when the Serb authorities regain control over kosovo & metohija his kids will be able to communicate. This happened during both World Wars when the Nazi's gave control of albanian populated areas to albanians only to revert to the Serbs in the end. Like I have always said to our fellow countrymen of albanian ethnicity, talk to your elders!

Oh well, have a nice trip back to Serbia's southern province.
(So sad, too bad, 20 June 2013 11:19)


Why don't you ask your beloved President Nikolic, why he can't visit his southern province!? How soon you forget, when Nikolic said that he is not the President of Kosova.

At least no Albanian started a hunger strike like your Serbian clown prince. Nikolic couldn't even pull off a convincing hunger strike, his wife was sneaking in burek for him.

At least no Albanian started a hunger strike like your Serbian clown prince.
(The Count of Kosova, 20 June 2013 21:59)

That's because your Crime Minister kills anyone who protests.

So he didn't do it for the lulz?

See, it's embarrassing moments like this that happen when Albanian officials have their personal opinions repeatedly challenged by empirical data. Thaci has apparently gotten them message after his own reality check in July 2011. I guess Peci kind of got the message when his office lacked state symbols and doubled as bakery.

We should also thank Hash since his actions apparently put to rest the opinions of about two-thirds of our regular Albanian cyber patriots from the United States :)

"I was convinced that the state policy regarding the full normalization of relations with Belgrade was precisely Serbia's recognition"

So this guy thought Serbia would recognize Kosovo as soon as he came to Belgrade. What America and the Eu has not been able to do this idiot thought he could do, make Serbia recognize Kosovo. Go back to Kosovo as an unemployed hero.

You know Robert this is exactly so many of you are NEVER allowed to come back to Kosovo again. Keep up this $hit and we will make sure you will never come back again. If you thought you were funny with your cynical comment well let me tell you I find nothing funny about your comment. This isnt 1913 or 1945. The tables have turned.

Brian

You should go back to Selling popcorn and semenke instead of making worthless comments. Selling semenke was what most albanians did during Tito. Those where the days, right "Brian".

As mentioned in a previous post. The reason there were no questions by reporters allowed upon his arrival in Beograd it was ffor this very reason, to not say anything stupid as Albanians usually do
The real story here is showing the eroding of support from the west.
Get ready Albanians for the rug to get pulled out from beneath you

ian, from uk
for an englishman, your comprehension is abismal.
pen's statement did not anywhere suggest illegality. what it did say, not a suggestion, but a hard and fast truth, was that kosovo is not officially an internationally recognized country. on the matters of international law it is still part of serbia.
what you're trying to do by throwing your 2 p into the mix is trying to spin the fact that icj judges determined that the act of declaration of independence is not illegal, but that judgement did not in any way support or refute the claim of independece. it mearly stated whether or not that claims were legal.

He didn’t last long. The trigger was probably disappointment for not being the Ambassador.

(coco, 20 June 2013 20:33)

Actually I was throwing out some bait, however I didn't get the response I was hoping for. What international law states that Kosovo is apart of Serbia? Please answer this. According to the UN, Kosovo isn't considered an official country by default, as Kosovo hasn't applied for membership. Obviously if Kosovo applied for full UN membership, Kosovo can expect a veto from Russia. So if Kosovo wants to get recognised by the UN, Kosovo needs to first apply to become an observer state in the UN General Assembly. This doesn't go to the UN Security Council, therefore there isn't a veto. Instead for Kosovo to become a member, a 2/3 majority vote is required. This is achievable for Kosovo once you take into consideration the abstentions. Then the UN would recognise Kosovo as a country. So what would international law say then?

your Serbian authorities, will never see that movie, ever again. You are done dude!!!!!!!!! wake up and smell the coffee.

If he's been screwing Serbia since 1987 he's basically been sodomizing "Kosova" since 1999 :)
(Balkan Anthropologist, 20 June 2013 23:44)

No, I wouldn't call it like that. The main goal was to establish good business condition for his mafia clan. He was successful: Kosovo became Europe's main drug hub under the Thaci regime.

So, not much different to the former warlords in Afghanistan. The major difference is that Afghanistan produces drugs, and Kosovo distributes it around Europe.

Why don't you ask your beloved President Nikolic, why he can't visit his southern province!? How soon you forget, when Nikolic said that he is not the President of Kosova.
(the truth, 20 June 2013 16:55)

He was there just last year. Well, to be fair, he was in the north, where the "laws" of "Kosova" have no authority, but considering you think the north is part of "Kosova", here you go.

In case you haven't notice, your so called " Hash", has been screwing Serbia since 1997. At that time he was only a teenager, and still called a Snake, and still IS.To shade body.

(the truth, 20 June 2013 22:10)

Oh please don't be under any impression I've suddenly developed warm and fuzzy feelings for Hash. Granted I love the little guy's job in Kosovo because he makes it so damn easy for Serbs to see the stark realities of what life is under his benevolent rule. I'm just saying this man appears to finally have been trained by Washington to now know what to say and know when to keep his mouth shut. Without the American ambassador sending SMS messages.

The thought of Haradinaj's now serving as America's other trained monkey as a possible replacement probably also contributes to him taking a more realistic view of the situation. Hey, the man's got a business to control!

If he's been screwing Serbia since 1987 he's basically been sodomizing "Kosova" since 1999 :)

Xhafer,
if infact the tables have turned, then you might need to brush up on history and logic. in 1913, and 1945, k-albanians, cleansed and massacred serbs and were put under the serb thumbs in the end. it is not wrong to tell the truth. if it makes k-albanians feel bad about their true history, not a made up one, then like serbs, they'll need to face up to the truth, not the hype.
lets not pretend and argue over the false millions, or tens-of-thousands that brought nato to the game. lets look at un offical counts where are less than 10000 for all deaths. not nearly the same order of revolting violence from the serb program as was from the albanian ones.

If you Serbs want Kosovo you ought to go and get it first.Oh nevermind, your economies is bankrupt, your military in shambles, and your youth to busy looking for a job in or out the country . We Albanians want to get alone with all neighbors, but with neighbors like you , who needs the enemies.....

indeed... what would international law say in that case, in the case of hypotheticals. what would it say if 2/3 of the world declared guam, the international capital?
who cares what would happen in a contrived, yet absolutely clear scenario.
what is the issue is what matters now. don't be stuck in the past, and don't assume a future.

So he didn't do it for the lulz?
(Default, 20 June 2013 15:18

No but he probably did it for the butthurt.

Jim,
Are you gone convince us that Cubrillovic doctrine never existed? The whole world so what happened, the mass graves, the refrigerated trucks full of victims dumped in the Belgrade river, the expulsion of one million people , the rapes. 1700 people are still missing. For you to come here and try to downplay it and somehow justify it, it's just unreal.

Getting lectures from Serbs on resignations is comedic. Your guys resign in the most dramatic fashion and then a week later go back and do the same exact job they resigned from, as if nothing happened. This is straight out of a Seinfield episode. Its as if your leaders are actors of a sitcom. Too bad its real life. Have some decency at least and recognize the fact that your clowns are taking you for a ride.

How dare the "liaison officer" speak Serbian in Serbia!!! That seems dumb! Serbia didn't even appoint someone who knows any Albanian!
