To those that have mentioned “UNMIK” I have bought so called “Coca-Cola” Cars that were driven during the time of “UNMIK” So what I’m saying to those that quoted this mission they have long been gone and forgotten. This Country reserves the rights to have Army just like the rest of the neighboring countries in FR. Of Yugoslavia.

Ok, we can call them tax collectors. Everybody is happy is that, you included. Dispute solved :)

We can ask the CE of B92 forums sj what's the point... He/she wanted to call them tax collectors, not me. But anyway, does not really matter; the Kosovars are happy; you are happy. Everybody is happy. No dispute to argue about!

One thing your lot seem to constantly overlook is the fact that when 1244 was written the only refugees to return were Albanian, the Serbs left Kosovo post UNSC 1244.

Exactly a part of 1244 was that the Albanian groups had to demilitarize, You do not find an active KLA in Kosovo, eventhough you and your peers refer to them like they are roaming the streets daily. But I was also accurate that it does not say that they cannot form a legit army once the govt was established and as a matter of fact the A Plan says that NATO will cover security UNTIL Kosovo can establish their own security forces.
Now the reason the Kosovo Security Forces were only to have small arms is simple and not really a secret. While you and other Serbs and many Albanians are constantly fueling the ethnic hatred fire the last thing the international community wants is to create the scenario for another war. They want to establish peace and so far the Serb forces are behaving.
The development of any real army in Kosovo will be slow and like Serbia most of the equipment will be donations or used and surplus equipment from other countries. It will be quite some time before you will see jets in Kosovo, if ever.

No need to mention the still unfulfilled points about the territorial integrity, about the safe and the unimpeded return of all refugees, ensuring a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants, but about armed forces it says: "Require that the KLA and other armed Kosovo Albanian groups be demilitarized"

But of course, a self-proclaimed 'Kosova Army' are not "Armed Albanian groups" because Kosovo is oh-so multi-ethnic, right? Ever thought why KSF was allowed only to be lightly armed, like police?

Using that criteria, Kosovo is an independent as Serbia was pre-2000 when Serbia did not have a UN seat or as Switzerland was pre-2003. Kosovo is perfectly fine having the same independence as Switzerland pre-2003.

Comm Par,
If by chance you would have read the Ahtissarri Plan before posting you might have found something like this:
 "An NATO-led International Military Presence will provide a safe and secure environment throughout Kosovo, in conjunction with the ICR and in support of Kosovo’s institutions until such time as those institutions are capable of assuming the full-range of security responsibilities"
Which means apparently instead of violating the A Plan they are actually following it.

The Albanians who think they run Kosovo are unfit to be fielding weapons of any kind. They cannot be trusted. The current official level of arms fielded by Albanians in Kosovo is pacification against those unofficial arms in the hands of other Albanians in Kosovo.

C.P.
it is none of your concern if Kosova has its own military or becomes part of Nato. As long as Serbia stays on her side of the border, you have nothing to fear. Or, is it because there will be a level playing field that has you shaking in your boots. Btw, Serbia never agreed to the Ahtissari plan, therefore, has no say in the matter.

The international community should not allow any jumping from the Ahtisaari plan, because it is the only document signed by all parties concerned, and shall not be any change. The establishment of a Kosovo army would be a gross violation of international agreements.

If I remember clearly, your radical leadership in Serbia refused to sign the internationally drafted Ahtisaari agreement! Your Serbia's loss!!!

A nice summary to be found about UN1244 is this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1244#Summary

No need to mention the still unfulfilled points about the territorial integrity, about the safe and the unimpeded return of all refugees, ensuring a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants, but about armed forces it says: "Require that the KLA and other armed Kosovo Albanian groups be demilitarized"

But of course, a self-proclaimed 'Kosova Army' are not "Armed Albanian groups" because Kosovo is oh-so multi-ethnic, right? Ever thought why KSF was allowed only to be lightly armed, like police?

What’s the point? As I said before I can drive across into Kosovo a couple of k's from the so called crossings and not pay a cent, but I’m happy.

@ cry me a river please explain what independence? do you have seat in the UN ?
(Grobar1, 2 March 2014 13:12)

Using that criteria, Kosovo is an independent as Serbia was pre-2000 when Serbia did not have a UN seat or as Switzerland was pre-2003. Kosovo is perfectly fine having the same independence as Switzerland pre-2003.

let's cut that bs out you all know very well there is no independent Kosovo.
(Grobar1, 2 March 2014 13:12)

Well, it's independent from Serbia - nobody disputes that. Whether it's independent from any other entity, does not matter much for Kosovo.

We can ask the CE of B92 forums sj what's the point... He/she wanted to call them tax collectors, not me. But anyway, does not really matter; the Kosovars are happy; you are happy. Everybody is happy. No dispute to argue about!

P.S. CE = Chief Economist

Exactly a part of 1244 was that the Albanian groups had to demilitarize, You do not find an active KLA in Kosovo, eventhough you and your peers refer to them like they are roaming the streets daily. But I was also accurate that it does not say that they cannot form a legit army once the govt was established and as a matter of fact the A Plan says that NATO will cover security UNTIL Kosovo can establish their own security forces.
Now the reason the Kosovo Security Forces were only to have small arms is simple and not really a secret. While you and other Serbs and many Albanians are constantly fueling the ethnic hatred fire the last thing the international community wants is to create the scenario for another war. They want to establish peace and so far the Serb forces are behaving.
The development of any real army in Kosovo will be slow and like Serbia most of the equipment will be donations or used and surplus equipment from other countries. It will be quite some time before you will see jets in Kosovo, if ever.

Comm par,
One thing your lot seem to constantly overlook is the fact that when 1244 was written the only refugees to return were Albanian, the Serbs left Kosovo post UNSC 1244.

Comm Par,
If by chance you would have read the Ahtissarri Plan before posting you might have found something like this:
 "An NATO-led International Military Presence will provide a safe and secure environment throughout Kosovo, in conjunction with the ICR and in support of Kosovo’s institutions until such time as those institutions are capable of assuming the full-range of security responsibilities"
Which means apparently instead of violating the A Plan they are actually following it.

"It states that the mandate of KFOR or the international security force is to keep Serbian or Yugoslavian forces out of Kosovo with the exception of a few for the few specific tasks listed which have nothing to do with security. And it calls on the KLA to disarm. "

Haha, it amazes me how some people would go to every source about 1244 (i.e. the Serbian version, Wikipedia summary, etc) except for 1244 itself in the original text and language, as if it's so difficult to find it :)

To those that have mentioned “UNMIK” I have bought so called “Coca-Cola” Cars that were driven during the time of “UNMIK” So what I’m saying to those that quoted this mission they have long been gone and forgotten. This Country reserves the rights to have Army just like the rest of the neighboring countries in FR. Of Yugoslavia.
