Shocking: Warning On Kosovo Recognition

‘Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica warned that any foreign recognition of Kosovo would be viewed as harsh interference in Serbia’s domestic affairs. He also said that integration into Europe would not be considered compensation for any loss of Serbia’s territorial integrity.’ (source:http://www.stratfor.com)

Of course this is not news but I decided to publish if for the sake of being transparent with all sides. Vice-President of Kostunica told me the same thing when I interviewed him in Belgrade in 2000. 

I am not shocked that they don’t want to give up Kosovo. I just don’t get it why? They abused Kosovo in every single way and now they claim that they love it and can’t live without it. Fhew, it’s kind of worrying because they sound like one of those abusing partners who beat the crap out of their partners and then they tell them, with tears and blood in their face:  ’Babe, I can’t live without you. I love you. You know that, don’t you?’

Kind of psychotic, isn’t it? And worrying because they claim to be democrats. Hmmm, democracy in which I’m living in Britain is completely and utterly different. Just take my word for it Mr.Kostunica.

Wake up Serbia, wake up. Check the dictionary and understand the word democracy. Do that for the sake of human rights.

UN Security Council Gets Kosovo Independence Draft

11 May 2007

The United States and its European allies have circulated a draft U.N. Security Council resolution that would set Kosovo on the path to independence from Serbia. VOA’s Peter Heinlein at U.N. headquarters reports sponsors are pushing for speedy approval of the measure.

The draft resolution was circulated quietly Friday after a brief discussion among Council members. American Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, who has made Kosovo a priority of this month’s U.S. presidency of the Security Council, declined to answer questions after a brief announcement.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME

Half of my brain is telling me it is not true, another half is telling me it is true.

I still can not comprehend as what made these Kosovo Albanians to initiate this act?!

Damn it, we fought for freedom and liberty. We went through hell because we believe in freedom.

What ignorant idiot would do such a thing?

Why? I do not understand why?

In the name of Allah? But in the name of Allah, what? Killing people? Do they realise that even Koran does not support terrorism. True Islam supports peace and knowledge.

But it’s common sense you dumb asses, you don’t kill someone because it’s wrong. Which part don’t you understand?

Oh, and this idea of ‘sacrifice’ is really pushing me to an edge. If there is paradise, there I no short-cut to paradise you idiots.

What is the most dangerous thing in this world?

It’s ignorance, it’s as simple as that. These guys were ignorant and full stop.

But this fact still does not justify their acts.

They do not represent me as Kosovo Albanian, nor Kosovo‘s beliefs. We believe in peace and freedom not in terrorist acts.

Shame on you guys.

Blood of people who died in Kosovo is still fresh. They died in order for us to live in freedom. Their blood will curse you.

Serbian nationalists have been arrested

Serbian police have arrested 27 nationalist demonstrators who said they were recruiting volunteer guards to fight in Kosovo if the breakaway province tries to separate from Serbia.

Several hundred people, including military veterans and former paramilitaries, gathered at a rally in the central Serbian city of Krusevac to swear allegiance to the “Tsar Lazar Guard”. The group, which claims to have enlisted 5,000 volunteers, is named after a medieval Serbian leader who died fighting the Ottoman Turks in the 1389 battle for Kosovo.

The detainees were wearing black T-shirts with the letters JSO, a symbol of a banned paramilitary group from the 1990s. Authorities said they will start legal procedures against them.

A UN-mediated plan for Kosovo envisions supervised independence for the region, something many Serbs refuse to accept, because they consider the region of Kosovo as Serbia’s historical heartland.

More than 90 percent of Kosovo’s population today is ethnic-Albanian, the Voice of America reports.

Another war in Kosovo?

Serb Volunteers Ready To Fight For Kosovo BELGRADE, May 4

A grouping of Serb veterans and hardline nationalist said on Friday they would form a ”volunteer guard” and take up arms to keep Serbia’’s breakaway Kosovo province, which the West wants to make independent in months, Reuters reported.  ”In the event that independence is proclaimed we are going to be ready,” Zeljko Vasiljevic, president of the Serb Veterans’ Movement, told the crowd. “As of today your task will be to unite volunteers and prepare them for defence of Kosovo,” he said. Vasiljevic said on Friday volunteers would not act outside state institutions and would put themselves at the disposal of Serbian army and police. Organisers said 5,000 people, mostly former veterans, had signed up to join. In a move reminiscent of the Serb paramilitary gangs that roamed Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo during a decade of war and atrocities in the 1990s, they said they plan to christen the “Guard of Prince Lazar” in a town in central Serbia on Saturday. Named after the 14th century Serb ruler, the guard, they say, will “never give up” the fight to defend the southern province, if the 2 million ethnic Albanians who now dominate Serbia’’s religious heartland win independence.

Kosovo Needs a Multilateral Approach

Permanent representatives from the United Nations Security Council have just returned from a fact finding mission to the Balkans and will soon begin debating whether or not to endorse granting Kosovo independence. There are legitimate arguments both in favor of granting Kosovo independence and against. But an argument currently making the rounds in Washington—that the United States should recognize Kosovo’s independence even without Security Council approval—is almost certainly wrong.

Kosovo’s communities remain far apart, says head of UN fact-finding group

Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian and Serbian communities continue to lead largely separate existences and have very different outlooks on the future, which means creating an integrated, multi-ethnic society in the province will require “substantial effort,” said the head of a Security Council fact-finding mission.

Courts in Kosovo violate local laws and international standards

OSCE representatives said that courts in Kosova violate local laws and international standards of the human rights. These allegations were admitted also by the representatives of Kosova Law Council (KGJK). However, they (KGJK) say that such cases are rare.
