Fake Italian Albo you mean where I called you a clown? Yep its very enjoyable. You’re such a disappointment, at the start I thought there was something there, but you have degenerated to a level where I am now questioning your mental condition. Do you ever wake up in the morning looking at palm of your hand and burst into hysterical laughter? If so, seek help immediately.

Over 50 characters - but what is the content?
Than where is a single character (“0”) to tell the price of Albanian brandy in Vushtrri?
Cannot write a single “zero” to show that he has merit?
Pathetic clown.

Stick to cleaning malls and write your opinions on the back of toilet doors since that is the best place for them. As far a corruption is concerned Serbs don't populate EU prisons like Albos.

What have you been drinking? The actual article was written by John Laughland, a UK academic, and not by B92; it’s only reporting on it.
In fact, Laughland raises some very salient points. The EU is seeking two of the poorest countries to join the EU despite the UK leaving. All EU members have been told by Brussels that countries relying on the EU Fund or loans on good terms are going to have to curtail their expectations. In essence countries that used to put €1 into the EU Fund but withdraw €3 now have to reduce it to €2. Can you imagine bringing in Albania and Macedonia? They would be a terrible economic burden not an asset. That is what Laughland is talking about.
As far as Serbia denigrating Albos, there is no need since they are doing a fabulous job themselves with their criminal activities throughout Europe.

Blah blah... Same above holds true for Serbia.
By the way, hows Australia? Hows the janitorial function going, or was it waiter? Why don't you move back to the chosen land? Are living standards not high enough?

Seriously though, when I woke up, I had to rub my eyes to this new piece of Russian propaganda sourced onto b92s international propa outlet.

And are you sure, everything evil, included toasted US-style bread with non-diary plastic cheese, meatless sausage and margarine Russian?
Like the poor Canadian lady who exploded on me in Porec, Istria: "see, Russians hating Americans, puff!"
Me: "sure, but why?"
She: "That fat Russian woman does not let me into this church!" (that was the Porec basilica, the Russian lady was a Croatian caretaker of the basilica and the time was about an hour before the basilica was scheduled to open in the morning).
I had to explain to her, going for a morning espresso and bakery and returning in about an hour will make a true wonder happen.

I mean, you might as well put an article saying "UK out, Serbia in?" or "UK out WB 6 in?". Its exactly the same story. The intention of it is to denigrate Albanians. Reading this reminds me why Albanians in Kosovo declared independence from this medieval apartheid kingdom. Keep it up guys, you are only helping Albanians.

King.....you really have no idea how this all goes. Goodness me stop making a fool of yourself.
The article says that its about the accession process. This means first talks on talks that are to come. Turkey has been at this junction for some 30 years now....LOL.
You seem to think that Albanias EU membership is just around the corner....LOL.
Also note that in this article Albania is said to be the Colombia of Europe...... crime-ridden and corrupt......
Albania will not join the EU for many decades. And 30/40 years down the line there probably wont be an EU at all. So keep dreaming.
As for Kosovo, you do realise that there are 5 EU nations that do not recognise it as a country. They see it as Serbian land. Tell us how is Kosovo ever going to join the EU...
But keep having wet dreams...….. LOL

I see Serbia fuming as the Albanians progress in their goals. They are permanently terrified knowing that there will either be two independent Albanian countries in the Balkans or one Great Albania.
(King, 8 February 2020 16:10)
LOL I see Albanians blissfully hopeful at the prospects of EU membership that is, at best 15 years down the road. No one wants Albania, and Kosovo has no chance of getting in because it's not a state.
How many years have these false start promises been offered to Albanians and how many years do these people still take the bait? :)

Nothing can ever grow, it's a natural law, not even China's economy. If something is growing it means that something else is going down because there has to be a balance there is no money going and money never goes to the wind to someone in particular because it is also a natural law. That is why someone like us does not need to pity the one to whom something is falling or to celebrate the one whose history grows until we become you (personal or wider anyway) for us to grow something at the expense of someone else who will fall. It is a simple economy and does not need to be vunderkind to be understood at all levels

I don't think EU leaders would call accession talks with Albania and North Macedonia compensation. But it makes for a good newspaper article title.

The losers of Albania joining EU - corrupted and crime collaborators in EU who louder their money in Albania with corrupted crime ridden Albanian politicians.
The winners - poor and honest Albanians that look forward to democracy being properly implemented!
Lest look ahead of an Europe without borders and peace prosperity! No war!

John Laughland, see here:
[link]
Read the bio.
I find the lack of consistency and lack of backbone within all politics disturbing.
The old standard (Russia = Communism = PR of something about "left", "liberal", "anti-imperialist" vs. West = Colonialism = Imperialism = Greed = Exploitation) does not work.
The standard today is very disturbing because what I see, the only real might has green color and there are pictures of long-dead American presidents on it.
I am a very material, greedy engineer but I find all this disgusting. In addition I tend not to believe a single word (of politicians from USA, EU, Russia).
I won't even mention China.
I can't figure out what is the real stance of John Laughland because IMO a real stance should be consistent not with what USA, EU, UK or Russia expects from you but with your opinion.
Example:
- The "neo-Nazis" of Ukraine have no support from me. Their medicine is no better than the illness (corruption). I agree with John Laughland on that.
- The next is Milosevic. Would be John Laughland consistent: Milosh was known to hate everything even remotely Russian, far more than the Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
But no, here John Laughland is a total failure.
My conclusion: the backbone is missing. Both thumbs down.
BTW: with UK now out, he has no say anymore. Good riddance.

With the integration of the Republics of Albania, Kosova, and Northern Macedonia within the EU Europe will have stabilized and secured its southern flank, and the aggressive tendencies of Radical-Serbia will come to a halt permanently! Godspeed!

Laughable.

Germany dominates the EU enough as it is. Von der Leyen is a terrible choice for EU Commission head. If she wants her "friends" from Albania and North Macedonia to join the EU as a replacement for the United Kingdom then I wish her good luck! It is just another nail in the EU's coffin.
