Kosovo- historical problem of Serbia and Balcans

[Lucky]

simple answer would be; because the majority of the population is albanian, and as shown in the 99 war they are being mistreated.

it's similar to the Ireland/UK problematics.

people of different religion and nationalities confined on a small area, with a bloody history.
you cant change that, they'll probably hate each other as long as they live in the same country.

What do you mean? Are you saying that because the majority is Albanian they Serbia should give them the land? I'm just wondering what your sayin'.

So looks like they are declaring their independence after all,presumably in the next 3 months.
Thoughts everybody?I for one am against it,but that might have something to do with my strong dislike for Albanians.

With that in mind,yet another armed conflict in the area would be pretty cool

well, i know im little late to step into this disccusion, but i read some previus post so here is first my comment on kosovo problem

one thing is sure sooner or later Kosovo will become a new independent country in Balkan, watts i think good thing, well none have problem with that exept Serbia, they now they will lose it but they won't lose on easy way, at least thats what serbian goverment thinks,
Kosovo is allready independent, they don't pay anythign to belgrade, they have own goverment in Pristina, (capitol of kosovo) own police, own laws,
so as u could guess i say Kosovo will be independet country in next three months, and Eu will agree USA and thats the bigger part of earth, russia will made some problems but not cause of  they really care about serbia and serbians in kosovo, it's mostly cause of Russian inner problems, with chechnya, and some other small republic that r still part of Russian federation



someone said EU ain't Yugoslavia was Bad

well my friend thats pure crap, Yugoslavia was good country, TITO wasn't dictator, he was greatest president we ever haved here, ppl lived in peace and prosperity in yugoslavia, we didn't have alot of poor ppl in ex-yu now in bosnia, serbia macedonia, kosov, proly in croatia we have alot poor ppl that r starving, maybe even in slovenia but they always were another story 

it's long for now
KOSOVO will be new team to beat in football 

[GunsNR]

Well USA,you achieved another spectacular win for democracy,Kosovo is independent,yeeeeeeeey!

I'm in a euphoric mood,we got ourselves a new black hole of a country whose main sources of income are immigrants from other countries sending money to their relatives in Kosovo (seriously),followed by human trafficking and contraband smuggling.

We (Britain) really were on the wrong side of the fence with the Kosovo war. They claimed hundreds of thousands of lives lost, when in actual fact there were actually only a few hundred that we could pin on Milosevic.

Even then he conveniently died in custody before he could be found innocent of the war crimes accused against him.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Where do you get that shit?

[Sid]

I don't really have an opinion regarding Kosovo and Serbia. It's not our country's or worry and especially not our fault for what's going on there. So there was no reason to attack our embassy in Beograd.  Serbia lost Kosovo a long time ago under Milosevic regime.

Where do you get that shit?

We completely failed in recognising the KLA as a terrorist organisation. We turned a blind eye to the fact that a group of people acquired weapons through the ransacking of Albanian military supplies, and then had the stupidity to bomb the Serbians from a long distance.

Clinton and Blair decided to do the Muslims a favour becuase they managed to piss off the Muslim world in all their dodgy dealings elsewhere.

Funny how if Muslims bomb women and children in Europe (at the time Serbia and Kosovo were not a part of Europe) then it is terrible. The West completely fucked up that whole situation, and as a result the Serbians are now being dictated to by a bunch of terrorists.

That's actually pretty correct,but what you said about Milosevic,that he would or should be found innocent is complete bollocks.

I was referring to the part about Miloševič too. Just BTW Serbian paramilitary forces have killed anywhere from 8000 -10000 thousand civilians in Kosovo, and once they left the Kosovars killed about 1500 Serbian civilians. Those are the official numbers.

Those numbers are horrific, no doubt.

But if you look at the initial numbers quoted during the time of military intervention by Britain and America, they are much higher. We believed all the media bullshit and Kosovan figures. The fact is that they were significantly lower than first imagined. We got played, or allowed the Kosovans to play us in order to do the Muslim world a favour.
