Ethnic Albanians protest in Decani

The Albanians won't be happy until they steal all the history from Kosovo and if they fail at getting their way they won't hesitate to destroy history. How sad that you have no building of your own in Kosovo with any historical value and now I see idiots posting here all
The time saying 'Albanians' built all Serbian heritage sites. You people are delusional and despicable, and above all extremely sad

Let me guess, it was part of the magical state of Illyria and Narnia according to Albanians! The only reason that they're protesting is because Decani puts a hole in all of their hokey theories about the history of Kosovo.

What a funny 'country' where the Constitutional court has to decide about something simple as property rights of people and institutions. And what a sad 'country' where not only extremists, but politicians (majors, MPs) too are not willing to accept a ruling issued by their own highest court (not a Serbian court) and start protesting. Well, at least this time the protest didn't become violent, as it is the usual case in the democratic, multi-ethnic dream state of Kosovo.

LOL notice how Gjon suddenly gets all rational and is a big defender of the rights to free speech and assembly when it involves Albanians - even the ignorantly corralled - but can't tell the difference between a Serb war criminal and a Serb pilgrim who wants to visit his or her displaced home in Djakovica because they're all the same to him.

I fear it will be destroyed by 'unnamed persons' who will never be found. It's the usual modus operandi of the usual suspect.

As an Albanian, I do find it a bit odd, but I agree with the court's decision. Just let it be, whether Serbian, Albanian (or Narnian) monastery, who cares, it's a monastery. Part of the culture/heritage of the land, for good or for bad. Should we destroy some of our own archeological sites in Albania because they were built by Romans or Greeks? Admit that Serbs live/lived on that land too, embrace it, and for everyone's sake: move on.

Albo: All of your archeological sites in Albania were built by Romans and Greeks. All of them, there's not a single site which you can claim you built. All you have is either Roman or Greek. Either ancient Roman or Mussolini's fascist architecture era and we all know that. You also know that I think. Please bring up again the Illyrian thing please, please, please, I love that part of the discussion, please!

I dont care if they are pilgrims or whatever. There are enough other orthodox churches they can visit. Gjakova is taboo.

Thanks for proving my point again, bro. It's all law and order when it suits you and the perennial victim when it doesn't. Nice to know that beneath all that sophisticated English and championing of human rights (I'm still not convinced you still live in Djakovica), you're basically NIMBY.

Of course the right to free speech and protest is guaranteed.

However one notes an abundance of such activities, often organized, which seek to objectify and dehumanize this minority group making their survival in Kosovo impossible.

In the West, this is not protected by free speech or protest and is categorized as a hate crime that often requires federal intervention.

The biggest fear here is that Visoki Decani will be treated by these ISIS supporters in the same way their brethren in Syria destroyed and ransacked the UNESCO "protected" sites in Palmyra.They've got form from previous pogroms in Kosovo. Time for NATO to be called in again and let them get the job done properly this time and attack the real culprits on this occasion....they bombed the good guys by mistake last time!!

Its hard as the one leading them is a war criminal, but unfortunatlly all Serbian citizens of Gjakova wore mask so did Marko my neighbor in street SUP- and his grandpa Blaza. My city has been the most effected city during the war, I live near SUP and I was kicked out, we had to pay paramilitaries to let us live and the only reason was my father's co-worker interveaned ( so there are few good ones). Marko lived with his mom in Beograd parents divorced but he returned to steal and God knows murder.

We have many people still missing so its hard to see those same people come back without an apology, and returning the bodies to get married. Qerkezi family lost 4 boys and the father, non of them were fighting or had anything to do with UCK.

If they really wanted to visit their displaced homes, they shouldent have left the city and its surroundings in ashes. Thousends killed and 1500 still missing. As long as the events of 89/99 are not brought to justice, there is nothing to return to for serbs. I dont care if they are pilgrims or whatever. There are enough other orthodox churches they can visit. Gjakova is taboo.

I have no beef with KSerbs from other parts of Kosovo. Serbs from Gjakova have a lot to explain first. I remember ordinary Serbs lining up at the side of the road to rob and beat women and children while they were driven out of their homes like cattle, leaving their murdered men and boys behind.

A multilevel jurisdiction system with a Constitution Court or High Court as last instance is every democratic countries basic. Everyone can bring any case in front of it if he`s/she`s does not agree with a decision made on municipality level.

The right to protest and freedome of speech is a basic human right so, what exactely are you trying to say Comm.?

Do you want to take away their freedom of speech and the right to protest? It wouldnt be the first time you know. Show those albanians a strong hand. To put them on place. Is that what you want?

Serbian state broadcaster RTS reported earlier in the day that organizers said the protest would be peaceful - "ut that "experience teaches that any gathering of Albanians motivated by inter-ethnic relations can turn violent."

Obviously the RTS was wrong about what "experience teaches"... but that's not a surprise since it's coming from RTS which few people would use as a reliable source of news.

No problem with that. I believe in justice and accountability above all. As long as justice is not served, reconciliation is not possible. Before anyone can come back, even if its just for a visit, lets address the elephant in the room first and then work our way out from there. I wish it wouldnt be that way but thats just how it is.

You see, I dont want to convince you about anything. I`m just reporting. As a witness. What you make out of it is entirely up to you.

But maybe, just maybe, when you have a moment, just one little moment of silence, try and ask yourself. How would you feel and react if your family was killed and your city was burned to the ground. Would you accept me if I would just show up, without apologizing or explaining myself? Acting like nothing happened.

You dont have to give me an answer, I wont matter. The answer is for you, for you only.

To all Slavs
When the albaniens had a empire the Slavs where nomads
Slavs know that the only reason your in the balcans is that you had Rusia behind you ?
So kiss there as.

The definition of "justice" in Kosovo seems to differ from that in the rest of the world: "Justice means we're always right, eternally, because of our national identity." That's a pretty stunted, dangerous, and self-defeating way to live. Good luck, guys - you'll need it.

What a funny 'country' where the Constitutional court has to decide about something simple as property rights of people and institutions.
(Comm. Parrisson, 26 May 2016 14:34)

Maybe it is a little sad but that it what the court is there for. It could be worse like here in Serbia. They have stopped using courts, instead they come with masks and bulldozers in the middle of the night. If you call the police they won't come.

@ Gjoni

What are you doing here when they drove you out of their homes like cattle and left men murdered? Do you have any pride or what? By the way how come that you escaped the death aren't you a man or were you hiding? Why didn't you go to fight to defend your family? Why don't you write this at Koha Ditore so people can understand what freedom of speech means? Do you know the composition of the Constitutional Court in Albania? In Kosova? When can people go to Constitutional Court? Does freedom of speech mean that you have to write about gays two hearts and two souls? Why don't you explain this in Albanian in Kosova's magazines? There are two articles in Veton Surrovi magazine but people is not writing there!

Regardless of what your twisted logic spews out as an answer, what do you propose the "final solution" should be?

@ Gjon

Do you know how we call this in Albania? Typical reply from a pederast this is how we call this! I made you a direct question. Where were you during the war and what were you doing? Why didn’t you defend Gjakova’s girls? I was a teenager but I wanted to come there and fight for you. Then my mother said that I would have gone there only when all adult men form Kosovo had to die in the war and she didn’t let me go.

Writing in magazines is your business? You’d better change business because if you go on writing wherever editors let you write, you will cover all of us with shame. Because Serbs editors will always let you write, you can bet! Ask for a feedback from real close friend, maybe girlfriend, this is Skenderbeu’s advice. Maybe you belong to the Roma community and you are ashamed and are calling yourself an Albanian? Why don’t you say you belong to Roma community? Maybe you are Bulgarian? Do you know Russian and why did you go to Russia? Who pays you? Who paid your trip to Russia? How many times have you been to Russia? Do you know Serbian language?

Donkey logic. Yes serbs stole their own building that supposedly albaians/narnians/kosovars built way back when, what a joke. Thats the problem with you people you can do no wrong, if that building was not guarded it would be destroyed by barbaric savages and then you would blame serb MUP. Youre a joke on the world stage, Albania is a huge dump unlike any other in europe and you want to govern another territory? Laughable, if it wasnt so sad how you destroy and attempt to re-write history at every turn. btw im Croatian and we dont like you much here either

Gjakova produced, Ardit Ferizi, charged with hacking into a US company's server taking the personal details of more than 1,300 US military and government staff and passing it on to to ISIS militants.

The comments below by one individual are alarming.

""" As long as the events of 89/99 are not brought to justice, there is nothing to return to for serbs. I dont care if they are pilgrims or whatever. There are enough other orthodox churches they can visit. Gjakova is taboo. """

I can appreciate the sensitivities, but this is an anti-Western, anti-liberal mindset that is conveniently constructed to achieve a political goal that is not in line with 1244 or any measure of Western intervention.

Reading all the comments here, I wonder how the Decani monastery is connected with all the killings of Albanians by Serb paramilitaries. Did the monks there join then? Did the monks provide accommodation for them? I know about the Serbian priests who consecrated tanks in Belgrade. Or is it a case of collective guilt, i.e. 'the monks are Serbs, Serbs killed my family members, the Serb monks have no rights to be there?'

"Do you want to take away their freedom of speech and the right to protest? It wouldnt be the first time you know. Show those albanians a strong hand. To put them on place. Is that what you want?"
(Gjon Marku, 26 May 2016 15:11)

No, everyone can protest. The bad thing is that these protests are sparked even by politicians, which should be rational instead and calming down instead of inciting the mob even more against a ruling of the highest court. Especially in this case. In the (for me very likely) case that there will be attacks and vandalizing in the future, the perpetrators will think that they do right and have support by everyone. Seems to be hard to understand for someone who obviously thinks tear gas in the assembly is a means of 'right to protest'.

And now that you mentioned the chain of courts, the end is reached. In a democracy, it's normal to accept things the majority decides, not to mention final court rulings. You cannot always get your wishes fulfilled, it's something that you have to learn, too, it seems. Or is it a symptom that some people seem to have problems with property rights at all, and think they can take what they want? Anyway, it's Kosovo, another example.

No problem with that. I believe in justice and accountability above all. As long as justice is not served, reconciliation is not possible. Before anyone can come back, even if its just for a visit, lets address the elephant in the room first and then work our way out from there. I wish it wouldnt be that way but thats just how it is.

You see, I dont want to convince you about anything. I`m just reporting. As a witness. What you make out of it is entirely up to you.

But maybe, just maybe, when you have a moment, just one little moment of silence, try and ask yourself. How would you feel and react if your family was killed and your city was burned to the ground. Would you accept me if I would just show up, without apologizing or explaining myself? Acting like nothing happened.

You dont have to give me an answer, I wont matter. The answer is for you, for you only.

"Do you want to take away their freedom of speech and the right to protest? It wouldnt be the first time you know. Show those albanians a strong hand. To put them on place. Is that what you want?"

No, everyone can protest. The bad thing is that these protests are sparked even by politicians, which should be rational instead and calming down instead of inciting the mob even more against a ruling of the highest court. Especially in this case. In the (for me very likely) case that there will be attacks and vandalizing in the future, the perpetrators will think that they do right and have support by everyone. Seems to be hard to understand for someone who obviously thinks tear gas in the assembly is a means of 'right to protest'.

And now that you mentioned the chain of courts, the end is reached. In a democracy, it's normal to accept things the majority decides, not to mention final court rulings. You cannot always get your wishes fulfilled, it's something that you have to learn, too, it seems. Or is it a symptom that some people seem to have problems with property rights at all, and think they can take what they want? Anyway, it's Kosovo, another example.

Is that you Sasa.p? He`s the only one who brings up Komanova all the time and call people Jihadi.

Break down on what has been happening in balkans and why and who's behind what.

The definition of "justice" in Kosovo seems to differ from that in the rest of the world: "Justice means we're always right, eternally, because of our national identity." That's a pretty stunted, dangerous, and self-defeating way to live. Good luck, guys - you'll need it.

Gjakova and surroundings are almost 50% catholics. Like myself. You could tell from my name if you would really be an Albanian
=================
Gjon Marku, what does it matter? Catholic or Orthodox Albanian is no different to a Muslim one. You guys keep telling us that all the time. You keep saying how being Albanian is more important than the religion.
So Catholics being in the majority are then just as dangerous to non Albanians.
