Can you honestly say that you don't hate Serbs? Judging from all the comments coming from your people and your supporters you do but think you are good at hiding it.
(Peggy, 11 December 2014 21:14)

Please quote a hate statement of mine!!! I did not say that you live in bigotry because you are a Serb. I said that based of you wrote that you collectively do hate Albanians. And if there is anybody in this forums who says that he/she collectively hates Serbs, I'd call him/her bigot, too.

Just because you live in bigotry, it does not mean the rest of the people are like you :)

Now, if you don't like the facts I state and consider them venom, that's not my fault. I can't change facts to make you happy!
(icj1, 13 December 2014 02:36)

Just because none of you will say it openly doesn't mean you don't hate.
All anyone has to do is read comments by your brethren and your Croatian suppers on this site and you will see exactly that.

(Peggy, 14 December 2014 00:59)

I speak for myself and you can't judge me based on what others say or what nationality I may or may not be part of - that is called bigotry. You should judge people based on their actions, not their national or ethnic origin - is that such a difficult concept for you to grasp?!

Again, please do quote a hate statement of mine directed at anybody (Albanian, Serb or whatever)...

@Peggy,
well, If you live in Australia, then chances are high that your kids dont give a dam about Serbia, nor will they in the future. Most probably they are 24/24 on their smartphones playing games or wasting time on social networks.
You need professional help Peggy, why are you a hater?
Why do you hate Albanians collectively? There are 3 million Albanians living in Albania that were never involved in Kosovo wars nor did anything to Serbs. What have they done to you to hate them so much? Why are you teaching your kids to hate? What kind of mother are you?

I thought you said on here once that you left Sarajevo when you were 5 and maybe I assumed that was around the 1990s.

Even stranger, then, that you have chosen to hate. I always assumed you had some kind of personal reason for it, like getting ethnically cleansed. Now that you say that that's not the case, it makes your unrepentant hate even more shameful. What do you get out of it?

A thorn in my side? Hardly? How could you be a thorn in my side? or, another way of asking it, how could anything you type on here have any affect on me whatsoever? I find you a strange curiosity, that's for sure.

Your views are violent and ugly and I find that shocking, but that's hardly a thorn in my side.

Related to EU integration from Serbian point of view I could imagine that they are considering following questions in their heads: Are European perspective and EU membership the same? Are benefits from joining to EU bigger or less than being outside it? Is there any alternative strategic alliances to EU? Also timeline should be noted. Who know is there anymore EU after current economical turmoil and if there is some kind of common union so what kind it is. From my point of view Serbia should not put all eggs in the same basket; economical cooperation with Russia and other BRIC countries can create real development on the ground instead slow development on the EU’s negotiation tables. (More e.g. in my post Serbia’s EU association is not a Must http://arirusila.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/serbias-eu-association-is-not-a-must/ )

How about you Albanians teaching your children not only to hate but to attack Serbs. Attack even the dead. Now that's real hatred.
You destroyed our churches and monasteries, you attack our children and elderly and even the dead. We need escort to go about our daily business. The hateful thing is that this all happened AFTER the war so don't point any fingers for there are just as many pointing back.
Serbs don't do any of this to Albanians and I would never tell my kids to attack anyone or abuse anyone regardless of how I feel about them. Your lot on the other hand excuses every crime against Serbs as kids playing. So don't tell me that I teach my kids to hate. The truth is the opposite.

Its growth rate is in the negative and its 60% of GDP in debt as of last year (and climbing) and Slovenia has only about 9% arable land.

Ok, let's say you are right. That does not make the statement "Today its citizens are worse off than ever before" correct :) That was what your post was about. But the negative growth rate can make it correct in the future when the GDP per capita (at PPP) goes under $9000. Let us know when that happens (if we are still around) and we'll give you a medal for correct prediction.

All of those "German's conditions" should be put in the waste basket without any further comment by Serbia.Germany is getting more assertive these days,even demanding that Russia comply with their set of conditions in regard to Ukraine.Its beginning to be more clearer where their backing is coming from for such a tough talk.Accepting new status as USA "Vassal State" will create more conflict in Europe,so Serbia should carefully navigate through these increasingly muddy waters.

Yes and that’s why Slovenians have been protesting on a regular bases in the last 12 months because they are so wealthy. You are aware that once your in the EU your level unemployment goes from 10% down to 4% overnight too. Here is a little surprise for you, all the middle east/African refugees pass through Serbia, then extremely rich Croatia and fabulously wealthy Slovenia. You would think that they would ask for asylum in Slovenia, but no they want France, Germany etc.
Now pray tell what does Slovenia do that gives their citizens such a high standard of living? Be honest.

Nobody has until this very day shown what other buyers were even offering to purchase NIS. Today NIS is a regional hub for natural gas and has retail outlets in Romania and other parts of the region. I am not a huge Russophile, but I like facts. Facts are there were no other offers for NIS and at the time it was a good offer because it came with the South Stream which the EU obstructed.
(Ari Gold, 10 December 2014 10:10)

Well, MOL and OMV had expressed interested, but the Serbian Government foolishly refused an open bidding, but gave it to Gazprom. So, yes, there were no other offers because Serbia did not want to get other offers! Only the NIS' properties alone were conservatively valued at EUR 800M (double the Gazprom "offer" of EUR 400M). If Serbia's government cared more about Serbs themselves would have offered NIS for sale to Serbian citizens first at about EUR 55 each so the Serbian citizens would have got the bargain rather than the Russians.
----------

Far as facts go, Serbs are the only nation in the region that has consistently stood up to empires. Albanians have consistently sought to become vassals for those very same empires in exchange for bits of Serbia. I know it, you know it. That's why you hate us, but deep down love us so much.

Serbia should just put its EU aspirations on hold - it will not get to the EU anyways, for several years at least, at the quickest.

Serbia only needs good trade and investment it is trading fine with EU countries. Plus Serbia's free trade agreement with Russia is starting to bear fruit. Serbia just needs to take more advantage of it and to help its own domestic producers.

Without EU rules Serbia is freer at making its own decisions. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and many other countries aren't in the EU and don't want to be.

Serbia just needs to have opportunity for its most brilliant minds, encourage entrepreneurship, stamp out corruption and export more.

Kosovo_Polje1389

pre 9 godina

Why do some Serbs on this forum believe we should exterminate the Albanians today? Have you morons not read up on your history? From the period of 1913-1914 and from 1918-1939, Serbia and the social experiment of Yugoslavia had in total 22 years to exterminate the Albanian population and/or expel them back to Turkey. The Serbs did kill off some Albanian towns and in the late 30's signed some agreement with Turkey to expel the Albanians (however this was voided in 1941). So if Serbia had 2 decades to expel/and or kill off the Albanian population from the Balkans and in turn failed to do so, why on earth do you believe we have a chance to complete it today?

Even in 1999, Slobodan Milosevic was not committing genocide, he was merely expelling the half a million odd Albanians who had no form of citizenship and were deemed illegal aliens (which can be legally done by any sovereign nation unless the Fourth Reich has a personal interest in the situation).

Why should Albanians be killed anyways? Don't you keyboard warriors know that 80% of Albanians are Serbs? Hell, even Thaci's great grandfather was an Orthodox priest named Radovan (a fact well know in Srbica). Is re education to hard to achieve?

It is easy to be a keyboard warrior and preach ethnic hate from your fancy apartments in Beograd or Novi Sad or Vienna or London. If a war did start, you degenerates would be the first ones to escape Serbia.

Wow you got me. What exactly is my age and when was I ethnically cleansed fgrom Sarajevo?
What do you know about me?
How many Serbs were ethnically cleansed from Sarajevo, Croatia and Kosovo? Have you ever said that Bosniaks, Croatians and Albanians are hateful or anything else that fits that description? Many of them post hateful comment here all the time. Why is that?

When I said that I would move all illegal Albanians out of Kosovo I was not saying ethnic cleansing. I was saying that the homes those Albanians occupy now should be given back to Serbs and those Albnians sent packing back to their own.
Yes, I did say that collectively Albanians are guilty of horrible crimes but individuals may be decent. The crimes against Serbs were done by the very people majority of "Kosovahs" praise now. So yes, they deserve to be hated.
One thing you should really stop doing is assuming. One thing for sure is that my family did not come to Australia as regfugees. We left Yugoslavia way before the war. My children who have graduated from univerity were born here so that gives you some idea of my age and the time we left. So next time kindly stop talking sh!t because you don't know anything.

You're confused, Peggy. I don't hate. I want the whole region to function normally. Sometimes I laugh at that which is self-evidently ridiculous, but that's not "hate"

What's "fake" pointing out how appalling it is that some Australian (presumably one that escaped in her early life ethnic cleansing and state violence) openly advocates for state violence and genocide? I would think that 99% of the world would be appalled at such a position, members of some Australian Serbian club excepted.

Do you talk about looking forward to a future that involves state oppression 10000km from where you live with your Australian-native friends? How do they react? or do you live in some kind of bubble? I recall once you making a weepy post about how no one accepts Serbs abroad because they don't have Anglo-Saxon blood flowing through their veins. Perhaps you do espouse the same kind of ugly opinions that you do on this site and have suffered some social consequences.

What do you expect the EU to do for Serbia once in? Have a look at Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary or Poland. Poland’s living standards would have reached its current level without the EU. It’s still the largest exporter of workers in Europe and today would challenge the Philippines for the world title. A colleague of Polish background said that after a decade away nothing had changed. Prices are in Euros but you get paid Polish wages meaning workers are lowly paid but prices are high.
What has the EU done for Kosovo? Nothing. It’s a cess pit of criminality and they will never lift a finger. The birth rate in Kosovo has fallen dramatically because there are no freebies like when Tito gave them free energy and water and was a “godfather” to every tenth child. Young Albos are not reproducing on those scales. If they a lucky they have one or two children but most young people are leaving Kosovo.
Have a good look at Croatia. Its now a financial basket case where even its government is saying that they rival Spain or Greece. Slovenia was once referred to as “little America” when part of Yugoslavia. Today its citizens are worse off than ever before.

Generally I have been for the EU, but this is becoming ridiculous. Germany clearly doesn't want us in. They resent we don't bend over for them like the Croats or Albanians. Not much has changed in their attitude. They want a slave, not a proud independent country to contribute. It's their money and I kind of understand, but for a tiny amount compared to the bailouts, they would have a reliable and respectful (and grateful) partner. I believe it will be Germanys loss in the long run.
And Ari is right. The EU by and large will be very different in 2020, if it exists at all. The people want a free trade zone and a joint military, not a political union. It was always a fantasy dreamt of by the left wing political elites.

For all his faults, (and certainly EU is far from being perfect) it is the best alternative for our nation. Yes, EU has a democracy deficit right now but that is nothing compared with the Russia that is run by gangsters and thugs.
Our future is in Europe, not Russia. Kosovo is lost and we have no one to blame but ourselves for it. And it is better this way. The reality is that Kosovo is more than 90% albanian, and I would like to know how can we live together with them given the recent history and the mutual hatred between us. Are we going to ethnically cleanse them again?
With our declining birth rate and Kosovo part of Serbia, I wont be surprised that there will be an Albanian majority in the whole Serbia in the near future. So better extract some good concessions from EU right now as the TIME is right, recognize Kosovo and move on, it is the best our government can do for Serbia.

These two recycled socialists are tying to play the same game Tito did with Yugoslavia: one foot in the camp of the western powers and the other in Russia's. And look at what happened to Yugoslavia. A some point soon they will be forced to make a decision, and I don't have much confidence that it will be the right one.

Generally I have been for the EU, but this is becoming ridiculous. Germany clearly doesn't want us in. They resent we don't bend over for them like the Croats or Albanians. Not much has changed in their attitude. They want a slave, not a proud independent country to contribute. It's their money and I kind of understand, but for a tiny amount compared to the bailouts, they would have a reliable and respectful (and grateful) partner. I believe it will be Germanys loss in the long run.
And Ari is right. The EU by and large will be very different in 2020, if it exists at all. The people want a free trade zone and a joint military, not a political union. It was always a fantasy dreamt of by the left wing political elites.

There are in Reality only 2 Conditions that need to be Realized, and these may be impossible or possible, and only time will tell us the answer to that.

One Condition is that Nazi Germany Renounces Nazism, and the other Condition is that Serbian Politicians have some Integrity to Lobby All European Union Nations for Nazi Germany to Renounce Nazism and join the Human Race.

If Nazi Germany cannot or does not want to Renounce Nazism in order to join the Human Race, then Serbia should Secretly not want to join the European Union, but make Great Pretense as to wanting to join the Nazi European Union, and if Serbia really wants to join the European Union, then they just need to be Patient, because History Proves that Nazism is always Conquered in Europe.

Even attempting to join the EU is simply irrational. First off, the EU is itself heading towards more unstable times. Just in Germany yesterday, 20, 000 people demonstrated against the increasing Islamicization of society brought on by mass immigration. Likewise, Greece and Italy have as of late seen an eruption in protests due to austerity measures.

Meanwhile the fastest growing political parties in the UK, France and Austria are those which wish for their countries to withdraw from the EU and see its abolishment from Europe altogether. If the current trends continue, Marine Le Pen will be Frances next President in 2017 and UKIP will hold the balance of power in 2015 and condition their support on a referendum to leave the EU for next summer.

At this point, the foolishness of Serbia's elite is one of historical and epic proportions if they continue steering the country towards the "EU has no alternative" path to nowhere.

For all his faults, (and certainly EU is far from being perfect) it is the best alternative for our nation. Yes, EU has a democracy deficit right now but that is nothing compared with the Russia that is run by gangsters and thugs.
Our future is in Europe, not Russia. Kosovo is lost and we have no one to blame but ourselves for it. And it is better this way. The reality is that Kosovo is more than 90% albanian, and I would like to know how can we live together with them given the recent history and the mutual hatred between us. Are we going to ethnically cleanse them again?
With our declining birth rate and Kosovo part of Serbia, I wont be surprised that there will be an Albanian majority in the whole Serbia in the near future. So better extract some good concessions from EU right now as the TIME is right, recognize Kosovo and move on, it is the best our government can do for Serbia.

Nobody has until this very day shown what other buyers were even offering to purchase NIS. Today NIS is a regional hub for natural gas and has retail outlets in Romania and other parts of the region. I am not a huge Russophile, but I like facts. Facts are there were no other offers for NIS and at the time it was a good offer because it came with the South Stream which the EU obstructed.

Far as facts go, Serbs are the only nation in the region that has consistently stood up to empires. Albanians have consistently sought to become vassals for those very same empires in exchange for bits of Serbia. I know it, you know it. That's why you hate us, but deep down love us so much.

Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungary, Nazi Germany, NATO.. all treated Serbia as their primary target in the region. It's a bit#h to be the target of these empires all the time.

What do you expect the EU to do for Serbia once in? Have a look at Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary or Poland. Poland’s living standards would have reached its current level without the EU. It’s still the largest exporter of workers in Europe and today would challenge the Philippines for the world title. A colleague of Polish background said that after a decade away nothing had changed. Prices are in Euros but you get paid Polish wages meaning workers are lowly paid but prices are high.
What has the EU done for Kosovo? Nothing. It’s a cess pit of criminality and they will never lift a finger. The birth rate in Kosovo has fallen dramatically because there are no freebies like when Tito gave them free energy and water and was a “godfather” to every tenth child. Young Albos are not reproducing on those scales. If they a lucky they have one or two children but most young people are leaving Kosovo.
Have a good look at Croatia. Its now a financial basket case where even its government is saying that they rival Spain or Greece. Slovenia was once referred to as “little America” when part of Yugoslavia. Today its citizens are worse off than ever before.

Well, MOL and OMV had expressed interested, but the Serbian Government foolishly refused an open bidding, but gave it to Gazprom. So, yes, there were no other offers because Serbia did not want to get other offers! Only the NIS' properties alone were conservatively valued at EUR 800M (double the Gazprom "offer" of EUR 400M). If Serbia's government cared more about Serbs themselves would have offered NIS for sale to Serbian citizens first at about EUR 55 each so the Serbian citizens would have got the bargain rather than the Russians.

When I said that I would move all illegal Albanians out of Kosovo I was not saying ethnic cleansing. I was saying that the homes those Albanians occupy now should be given back to Serbs and those Albnians sent packing back to their own.
Yes, I did say that collectively Albanians are guilty of horrible crimes but individuals may be decent. The crimes against Serbs were done by the very people majority of "Kosovahs" praise now. So yes, they deserve to be hated.

Why do some Serbs on this forum believe we should exterminate the Albanians today? Have you morons not read up on your history? From the period of 1913-1914 and from 1918-1939, Serbia and the social experiment of Yugoslavia had in total 22 years to exterminate the Albanian population and/or expel them back to Turkey. The Serbs did kill off some Albanian towns and in the late 30's signed some agreement with Turkey to expel the Albanians (however this was voided in 1941). So if Serbia had 2 decades to expel/and or kill off the Albanian population from the Balkans and in turn failed to do so, why on earth do you believe we have a chance to complete it today?

Even in 1999, Slobodan Milosevic was not committing genocide, he was merely expelling the half a million odd Albanians who had no form of citizenship and were deemed illegal aliens (which can be legally done by any sovereign nation unless the Fourth Reich has a personal interest in the situation).

Why should Albanians be killed anyways? Don't you keyboard warriors know that 80% of Albanians are Serbs? Hell, even Thaci's great grandfather was an Orthodox priest named Radovan (a fact well know in Srbica). Is re education to hard to achieve?

It is easy to be a keyboard warrior and preach ethnic hate from your fancy apartments in Beograd or Novi Sad or Vienna or London. If a war did start, you degenerates would be the first ones to escape Serbia.

Serbia should just put its EU aspirations on hold - it will not get to the EU anyways, for several years at least, at the quickest.

Serbia only needs good trade and investment it is trading fine with EU countries. Plus Serbia's free trade agreement with Russia is starting to bear fruit. Serbia just needs to take more advantage of it and to help its own domestic producers.

Without EU rules Serbia is freer at making its own decisions. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and many other countries aren't in the EU and don't want to be.

Serbia just needs to have opportunity for its most brilliant minds, encourage entrepreneurship, stamp out corruption and export more.

Perhaps you should also look at the figures you have quoted. In a period of 22 years the increase is only $9,000 or $400 per year which is in line with inflation of about 2.2%.
(sj, 11 December 2014 12:56)

I said "GDP per capita (at PPP)"... Perhaps in your enthusiasm you missed the "PPP" part lol But, I'm sure the CE of B92 forums sj can explain that to you since he/she knows what that means :)

Its growth rate is in the negative and its 60% of GDP in debt as of last year (and climbing) and Slovenia has only about 9% arable land.
(sj, 11 December 2014 12:56)

Ok, let's say you are right. That does not make the statement "Today its citizens are worse off than ever before" correct :) That was what your post was about. But the negative growth rate can make it correct in the future when the GDP per capita (at PPP) goes under $9000. Let us know when that happens (if we are still around) and we'll give you a medal for correct prediction.

Related to EU integration from Serbian point of view I could imagine that they are considering following questions in their heads: Are European perspective and EU membership the same? Are benefits from joining to EU bigger or less than being outside it? Is there any alternative strategic alliances to EU? Also timeline should be noted. Who know is there anymore EU after current economical turmoil and if there is some kind of common union so what kind it is. From my point of view Serbia should not put all eggs in the same basket; economical cooperation with Russia and other BRIC countries can create real development on the ground instead slow development on the EU’s negotiation tables.

Even attempting to join the EU is simply irrational. First off, the EU is itself heading towards more unstable times. Just in Germany yesterday, 20, 000 people demonstrated against the increasing Islamicization of society brought on by mass immigration. Likewise, Greece and Italy have as of late seen an eruption in protests due to austerity measures.

Meanwhile the fastest growing political parties in the UK, France and Austria are those which wish for their countries to withdraw from the EU and see its abolishment from Europe altogether. If the current trends continue, Marine Le Pen will be Frances next President in 2017 and UKIP will hold the balance of power in 2015 and condition their support on a referendum to leave the EU for next summer.

At this point, the foolishness of Serbia's elite is one of historical and epic proportions if they continue steering the country towards the "EU has no alternative" path to nowhere.

and "building of brick facilities on the crossings."

LMAO how ironic. The EU operates on the idea of "free movement of people" which has resulted in huge social tensions in northern European countries due to mass immigration. They are more than happy to destroy their own nation-states for this sick European dream by opening up their borders for millions of people to just walk right in, but a "brick facility" must be built to keep Serbia out of Kosovo-Metohija.

This vile German-led Europe which props up unelected central planners out of Brussels must go! And no wonder the Balkans today are almost identical to WWII. Germany using its puppets, loyal SS units to dismember Serbia as apart of its overall plan to dominate Europe. Deja-vu

There are in Reality only 2 Conditions that need to be Realized, and these may be impossible or possible, and only time will tell us the answer to that.

One Condition is that Nazi Germany Renounces Nazism, and the other Condition is that Serbian Politicians have some Integrity to Lobby All European Union Nations for Nazi Germany to Renounce Nazism and join the Human Race.

If Nazi Germany cannot or does not want to Renounce Nazism in order to join the Human Race, then Serbia should Secretly not want to join the European Union, but make Great Pretense as to wanting to join the Nazi European Union, and if Serbia really wants to join the European Union, then they just need to be Patient, because History Proves that Nazism is always Conquered in Europe.

Generally I have been for the EU, but this is becoming ridiculous. Germany clearly doesn't want us in. They resent we don't bend over for them like the Croats or Albanians. Not much has changed in their attitude. They want a slave, not a proud independent country to contribute. It's their money and I kind of understand, but for a tiny amount compared to the bailouts, they would have a reliable and respectful (and grateful) partner. I believe it will be Germanys loss in the long run.
And Ari is right. The EU by and large will be very different in 2020, if it exists at all. The people want a free trade zone and a joint military, not a political union. It was always a fantasy dreamt of by the left wing political elites.

Best news so far. Hope Serbia never comes close to fulfilling those requirements, but here is the catch. If Serbia were to announce that they no longer wish to join the EU, Berlin and Brussels would crap themselves, literally. Then watch the fun of envoys coming and going to Belgrade. it would be a circus not seen for a long time.

Its true that the EU wants Kosovo recognised, but this is also about Serbia's stance with Russia. The Führe requires a compliant vassel not one that makes it mind up contrary to the great leaders thinking.

For all his faults, (and certainly EU is far from being perfect) it is the best alternative for our nation. Yes, EU has a democracy deficit right now but that is nothing compared with the Russia that is run by gangsters and thugs.
Our future is in Europe, not Russia. Kosovo is lost and we have no one to blame but ourselves for it. And it is better this way. The reality is that Kosovo is more than 90% albanian, and I would like to know how can we live together with them given the recent history and the mutual hatred between us. Are we going to ethnically cleanse them again?
With our declining birth rate and Kosovo part of Serbia, I wont be surprised that there will be an Albanian majority in the whole Serbia in the near future. So better extract some good concessions from EU right now as the TIME is right, recognize Kosovo and move on, it is the best our government can do for Serbia.

Nobody has until this very day shown what other buyers were even offering to purchase NIS. Today NIS is a regional hub for natural gas and has retail outlets in Romania and other parts of the region. I am not a huge Russophile, but I like facts. Facts are there were no other offers for NIS and at the time it was a good offer because it came with the South Stream which the EU obstructed.

Far as facts go, Serbs are the only nation in the region that has consistently stood up to empires. Albanians have consistently sought to become vassals for those very same empires in exchange for bits of Serbia. I know it, you know it. That's why you hate us, but deep down love us so much.

Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungary, Nazi Germany, NATO.. all treated Serbia as their primary target in the region. It's a bit#h to be the target of these empires all the time. But in a way, it's honorable and one of the great things about being Serbian-backbone. Not that Serbia's current political elite have any.

What do you expect the EU to do for Serbia once in? Have a look at Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary or Poland. Poland’s living standards would have reached its current level without the EU. It’s still the largest exporter of workers in Europe and today would challenge the Philippines for the world title. A colleague of Polish background said that after a decade away nothing had changed. Prices are in Euros but you get paid Polish wages meaning workers are lowly paid but prices are high.
What has the EU done for Kosovo? Nothing. It’s a cess pit of criminality and they will never lift a finger. The birth rate in Kosovo has fallen dramatically because there are no freebies like when Tito gave them free energy and water and was a “godfather” to every tenth child. Young Albos are not reproducing on those scales. If they a lucky they have one or two children but most young people are leaving Kosovo.
Have a good look at Croatia. Its now a financial basket case where even its government is saying that they rival Spain or Greece. Slovenia was once referred to as “little America” when part of Yugoslavia. Today its citizens are worse off than ever before.

When I said that I would move all illegal Albanians out of Kosovo I was not saying ethnic cleansing. I was saying that the homes those Albanians occupy now should be given back to Serbs and those Albnians sent packing back to their own.
Yes, I did say that collectively Albanians are guilty of horrible crimes but individuals may be decent. The crimes against Serbs were done by the very people majority of "Kosovahs" praise now. So yes, they deserve to be hated.
One thing you should really stop doing is assuming. One thing for sure is that my family did not come to Australia as regfugees. We left Yugoslavia way before the war.

Now it's your turn and every other Alanian and Croatian on this site.
The venom that comes out of some of you is incredible and you, especially, who thinks is witty or smart.
Can you honestly say that you don't hate Serbs? Judging from all the comments coming from your people and your supporters you do but think you are good at hiding it.
(Peggy, 11 December 2014 21:14)

Please quote a hate statement of mine!!! I did not say that you live in bigotry because you are a Serb. I said that based of you wrote that you collectively do hate Albanians. And if there is anybody in this forums who says that he/she collectively hates Serbs, I'd call him/her bigot, too.

Just because you live in bigotry, it does not mean the rest of the people are like you :)

Now, if you don't like the facts I state and consider them venom, that's not my fault. I can't change facts to make you happy!

Just because none of you will say it openly doesn't mean you don't hate.
All anyone has to do is read comments by your brethren and your Croatian suppers on this site and you will see exactly that.
Don't play naive now becasue we know you are not. You are many other things but naive not.

Why do some Serbs on this forum believe we should exterminate the Albanians today? Have you morons not read up on your history? From the period of 1913-1914 and from 1918-1939, Serbia and the social experiment of Yugoslavia had in total 22 years to exterminate the Albanian population and/or expel them back to Turkey. The Serbs did kill off some Albanian towns and in the late 30's signed some agreement with Turkey to expel the Albanians (however this was voided in 1941). So if Serbia had 2 decades to expel/and or kill off the Albanian population from the Balkans and in turn failed to do so, why on earth do you believe we have a chance to complete it today?

Even in 1999, Slobodan Milosevic was not committing genocide, he was merely expelling the half a million odd Albanians who had no form of citizenship and were deemed illegal aliens (which can be legally done by any sovereign nation unless the Fourth Reich has a personal interest in the situation).

Why should Albanians be killed anyways? Don't you keyboard warriors know that 80% of Albanians are Serbs? Hell, even Thaci's great grandfather was an Orthodox priest named Radovan (a fact well know in Srbica). Is re education to hard to achieve?

It is easy to be a keyboard warrior and preach ethnic hate from your fancy apartments in Beograd or Novi Sad or Vienna or London. If a war did start, you degenerates would be the first ones to escape Serbia.

Serbia should just put its EU aspirations on hold - it will not get to the EU anyways, for several years at least, at the quickest.

Serbia only needs good trade and investment it is trading fine with EU countries. Plus Serbia's free trade agreement with Russia is starting to bear fruit. Serbia just needs to take more advantage of it and to help its own domestic producers.

Without EU rules Serbia is freer at making its own decisions. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and many other countries aren't in the EU and don't want to be.

Serbia just needs to have opportunity for its most brilliant minds, encourage entrepreneurship, stamp out corruption and export more.

And for your information we´d rather give the Russians our companies for free than sell for billions to the 4th reich.

You have become the laughing stock of Russians because of the mentality above :)

Perhaps you should also look at the figures you have quoted. In a period of 22 years the increase is only $9,000 or $400 per year which is in line with inflation of about 2.2%.
(sj, 11 December 2014 12:56)

I said "GDP per capita (at PPP)"... Perhaps in your enthusiasm you missed the "PPP" part lol But, I'm sure the CE of B92 forums sj can explain that to you since he/she knows what that means :)
----------

Its growth rate is in the negative and its 60% of GDP in debt as of last year (and climbing) and Slovenia has only about 9% arable land.
(sj, 11 December 2014 12:56)

Ok, let's say you are right. That does not make the statement "Today its citizens are worse off than ever before" correct :) That was what your post was about. But the negative growth rate can make it correct in the future when the GDP per capita (at PPP) goes under $9000. Let us know when that happens (if we are still around) and we'll give you a medal for correct prediction.
----------

So what does it produce to make it such a paradise?
(sj, 11 December 2014 12:56)

Perhaps you can ask the CE of B92 forums sj since he/she mentioned that. I wrote nowhere about any paradise!

P.S. CE = Chief Economist

@Peggy,
well, If you live in Australia, then chances are high that your kids dont give a dam about Serbia, nor will they in the future. Most probably they are 24/24 on their smartphones playing games or wasting time on social networks.
You need professional help Peggy, why are you a hater?
Why do you hate Albanians collectively? There are 3 million Albanians living in Albania that were never involved in Kosovo wars nor did anything to Serbs. What have they done to you to hate them so much? Why are you teaching your kids to hate? What kind of mother are you?

I speak for myself and you can't judge me based on what others say or what nationality I may or may not be part of - that is called bigotry. You should judge people based on their actions, not their national or ethnic origin - is that such a difficult concept for you to grasp?!

Again, please do quote a hate statement of mine directed at anybody (Albanian, Serb or whatever)...

Nobody has until this very day shown what other buyers were even offering to purchase NIS. Today NIS is a regional hub for natural gas and has retail outlets in Romania and other parts of the region. I am not a huge Russophile, but I like facts. Facts are there were no other offers for NIS and at the time it was a good offer because it came with the South Stream which the EU obstructed.
(Ari Gold, 10 December 2014 10:10)

Well, MOL and OMV had expressed interested, but the Serbian Government foolishly refused an open bidding, but gave it to Gazprom. So, yes, there were no other offers because Serbia did not want to get other offers! Only the NIS' properties alone were conservatively valued at EUR 800M (double the Gazprom "offer" of EUR 400M). If Serbia's government cared more about Serbs themselves would have offered NIS for sale to Serbian citizens first at about EUR 55 each so the Serbian citizens would have got the bargain rather than the Russians.
----------

Far as facts go, Serbs are the only nation in the region that has consistently stood up to empires. Albanians have consistently sought to become vassals for those very same empires in exchange for bits of Serbia. I know it, you know it. That's why you hate us, but deep down love us so much.
(Ari Gold, 10 December 2014 10:10)

Yes, so you get the medal, Albanians get what matters :)
