The current events at the barricades are nothing compared to what could happen, he noted.
"I think the situation in Kosovo is fairly complicated and difficult and I do not understand anyone who is not aware of its gravity," Dačić told reporters in Belgrade.
On the one hand some problems in Kosovo are caused by chains of events where one action calls for another and on the other there is pressure on Serbia at a moment when the decision on whether it should be granted EU candidate status is just around the corner, Dačić stated.
"It is likely someone in the EU thinks that now is an ideal opportunity to pressure Serbia, as it awaits the candidate status," Dačić remarked, adding he found it hard to believe that KFOR had a problem with the roadblocks at that particular time.
It is obviously a coordinated action in order to make Serbia's position more difficult, he pointed out.
In condemning the recent incidents, the minister continued, we must start from the beginning, and that means that the unilateral moves were caused by Kosovo Albanian PM Hashim Thaci, to which Serbs reacted, followed by KFOR, "and now Serbs are in a bad situation, because they're clashing with international forces".
"I am absolutely in favor of conducting the dialogue, and for Priština and KFOR to refrain from unilateral moves in that time. Anyhow the international forces in northern Kosovo should not feel they are ina hostile environment."
"On the other hand, we must care about Serbs in Kosovo, in order to preserve their rights and our national insterest. It would be good to make coordinated moves to keep the situation under control, because otherwise it will only get harder. We should all stop for a moment, and consider how to proceed," concluded Dačić.
"All it took was send some SUV's for a ride in the north for two days and all the crap came out. Very little effort from Thaci, a lot of crap for Serbia. "

And the casualty of the killed ROSU policeman was playing right into Thaci's hand. But he never cared for some collateral damage :)

"It is obviously a coordinated action in order to make Serbia's position more difficult," he pointed out.
THAT IS RIGHT! I am pleased that he managed to understand that. The overwhelming majority of EU countries have recognised Kosovo independence with its current borders. How can Serbia immagine goin in EU without recognising Kosovo independence first?

Ah...a minister who is privy to conspiracy theories. What is the next one? Tadic is in the payroll of the CIA is something that regularly makes the comments here. Every country is given conditions to join the EU and one of those conditions is normal relations with your neighbors. The choice for Serbs is simple, Kosovo or EU.
(adriatik, 30 November 2011 14:45)
Yes 100% right. You forget to mention Adriatik that if Serbia chooses Kosova, it get neither; Kosovo or EU.
So Tadic seems like is heading in the right direction after much money and time wasted.

It is good Serbian politicians have started to realize the enormous influence of Kosovo Albanian's government actions for them. All it took was send some SUV's for a ride in the north for two days and all the crap came out. Very little effort from Thaci, a lot of crap for Serbia. We'll see if the politicians in Serbia will have the courage to change this situation. Imagine for example, an agreement is reached, barricades are removed, things quiet down and then, ten days before the elections in Serbia, Thaci sends those SUVs again for a ride in the north.
It seems Draskovic and Jovanovic have realized this but they are on CIA's payroll so they don't count.

Mr. Dacic, you might not know it, but just like before you joined the "sellout" coalation, the future and welfare of Serbia was in your hands. At that time, you sold your soul. Redeem yourself and do the honorable thing, disengage yourself from the "sellout" coalation while there's time. Force an earlier election before the American puppet (Tadic) gives away the entire country. Who knows, you might even go down in history.

It's very simple with anyone having more than 1 braincell. The entire "Serbian government" is a foreign controlled entity with nothing but foreign objectives in their mandate. The quicker they are thrown out, the faster Serbia's people will recover from the cancer amongst them.

I'm pretty sure this pathetic attempt to hold on to K-North will end up a failure for Dacic and his Serbia, just like the pathetic attempt to hold on to whole of K has ended. No-one talks anymore about K the cradle of Serbdomn other than few in this forum. I am willing to bet that within a year Serbia will recognize Kosova as a whole and as its neighbor. I can't go on with the failures of Serb politics in the past because the list is too long, this is just the last phase in the list of those failures.

The choice for the HOPELESSLY bankrupt EU is simple: co-operate honestly with patriotic Serbs and their patron Russia or continue to lose troops and money you don't have. Checkmate.
