Some commenters insist that the proposed turnover of Kosovo to the local al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadist/narcoterrorist gang is a fait accompli, simply because of demographics. I say that’s just plain wrong.

Nor should the Serbs be condemned to live among a population of enemy infiltrators who seek only to exterminate the Serbs (and everyone else who is not Albanian). These infiltrators will not stop their lies, threats, and violence until they have accomplished their goal - or until they are defeated.

You can see this attitude from the Albanian commenters above. Why should the Serbs be compelled to live with these invaders' knives at their throats?

I am aware that "no respectable political force among Serbs would be deluded enough to picture Kosovo without Albanians" - but then, all of the "respectable political forces" fear being killed or hauled off to the Hague if they take even the most elementary steps toward securing the lives and property of the Serbian people.

I don't care about being "respectable" - I care about justice. I certainly can picture Kosovo without hostile Albanians, and the time for that is now. Wrongdoers must be defeated soundly and thoroughly, not rewarded.

The Albanians who have infiltrated Kosovo over the past century, and especially in the past few decades, do have a place to which they can, and must, return: Albania.

The fact that their own relatives and countrymen have made Albania unfit to live in matters not. They must return there. To allow them to remain in Kosovo would be to reward a century of genocide against Serbs. That is intolerable.

This article gives an inside view of the Warsaw Ghetto that the US, NATO, and the Albanian jihadists have created for the Serbs of Kosovo. The Albanian jihadists who have infiltrated Kosovo over the past decades - with notably hostile intent - need to be defeated and expelled, not rewarded with a gift of land.

Allowing them to keep control over Kosovo, or even to remain there, would make about as much sense as letting Germany keep France or Poland after the Second World War.

Is this the type of aggression against the Serbs that we should reward by allowing the al-Qaeda-affiliated Albanian narcoterrorist/jihadists to remain in Kosovo?

yes, recognizing where we stand is an important part of the puzzle. But,the easiest one as well, I'm afraid. The problem is the mutual exclusivity of our aims here. Not to mention the principles they're based on. In the simpliest terms: you want Kosovo-Metohija out of Serbia, no matter what price, and I'm not giving up on Kosovo-Metohija as her part. Not in a million years.

As for anti-social acts, personally, I have no problem to condemn any of them, done in Serbian part; we both know that you'll hardly find ANYONE within Serbia's political spectrum as we speak (hardline nationalists included!) to say anything in favor of that. But, frankly, can we say the same for the Kosovo Albanian political leaders? And I'm being hopelessly euphemistic here, knowing that quite a many of those very same "political leaders" took the PERSONAL part in the most despicable war crimes against Serbs, just a few years back (and, no, I'm not talking about Suroi and Rugova here, both having been the most convenient poster-boys of "Albanian Gandhiism" for a far too long).

As for "freedom vs. terror", I agree that nobody even remotely sane would subscribe to a living under any form of the latter one. It's only that I would prefer - if only for the sake of argument here - that we stop playing the old,borin' blame-your-Serb-game, which has became gruesomely frequent a part of almost ANY political discussion on the Balkan issues, both home and abroad. We could pretend that you don't know anything about Serbia's subsidies to Kosovo-Metohija in the last half of a century (yes, the "Evil Milosevic's Reign Of Terror" included). And we're talking about THE BILLIONS of (Serbian taxpayers') dollars here. Call me crazy, but I just fail to imagine how the fact of opening the VERY FIRST Albanian university, creation of a modern infrastructure and availability of modern medical care system, along with quite a considerable social benefits enjoyed mostly by Albanian majority in Kosovo-Metohija, would fit into the catchy stereotype of"the Serbian goal of eradicaton of the Albanians". Or we can just check the numbers and the percents, and see how many Serbs forcibly left Kosovo from 1941-1980's, and what happened to the Albanian facts and figures at the same time. Not to mention the fact that (after the old communist state imploded), the "institutions" of the Albanian para-state were merrily IGNORED (and de facto allowed) by Milosevic, while the Albanian political leaders have been constantly BEGGED by the Serbian opposition to start ANY form of dialogue. Then the hell broke loose, and we cannot take back any innocent life, neither Serbian nor Albanian. But, I'm not too eager to forget that the first bullets were not shot by Serbs. But the first victims were Serbs, along with all those "treacherous" Albanians who "served the oppressor" by the utmost crime of maintaining the state jobs and living peacefully with their Serbian neighbors, despite the consensus of their most extremist leaders and terrorists to discourage it, borne upon ALL Albanians as the "national priority".

But, that's all water under the bridge. We are where we are. Clearly, the most of Albanian population wants nothing to do with Serbia any longer,at least for now. But, the majority of Serbs are not giving up on their country, their people, their history and their future.

So, yes, it's hard to foresee any viable solution. The land grab is not one, for what I know. "Serbs cannot be the only people in the Balkans and in Europe who are endlessly bullied into rewarding EVERY neighboring ethnic group with the parts of their territory". This bitter but horrifyingly truthful capture of the "international community's" hypocrisy toward Serbia and Serbs was not coined by some Euroskeptic nationalist,but by the late Dr.Zoran Djindjic, the most pro-Western Serbia's Prime Minister in the last sixty years, every so often both praized/villified (from different parts of Serbia's scene) as "too soft on Kosovo".

And, no, I don't think that any respectable political force among Serbs would be deluded enough to picture Kosovo without Albanians. I can only hope that, someday maybe, Albanians would produce a visible political belief to the same effect.

Should read:

AND that is the last thing I would want. I was just trying to show that TWO can play the game…

Of course, a sane and civilized dialogue is always preferable in comparison to a generalization of any sort (which is, simply, next to pointless). That's why I like this site. This time, I engaged in this silly little game of stereotypes and generalizations, just to paint the picture to these guys (16 and 18) who followed my comment with those silly slogans and copy/pastes...

I mean (for the cheering copy/pastin' Albanian crowd in the cheaper seats of this thread), I'm NOT calling ALL Albanians the drug dealers, ethnic cleansers or Nazis. That would require to apply the same nonsensical "logic" that this Albanian contigent here subscribes to. I that is the last thing I would want. I was just trying to show that teo can play the game... Albanians here seem to be taking the silly little myth of their "pre-historical right" to this or that part of Balkans for granted, mixing it with the boring old tune of their exclusive "victimhood" (like there is not just enough Serbs around, who horribly suffered at hands of the Albanian gangs) and pretending that they have made their point by copy/pasting it ad nauseam. This just ain't gonna work.

Oh, c'mon, you are aware how ultimately stupid your little diatribe actually sounds, aren't you? As for confronting the facts, I tried my best on an earlier occasion here. With one of your fellow Albanians, some time ago. The guy was surprizingly articulate and refreshingly literate, in comparison with you and your merry little crew here, but... To every fact I've mentioned (that beared unfavorable aspect in regard to Albanian position), he responded with "this is the Balkans, I'm very sorry". So I gave up. With you, even a start would be utterly pointless. You don't seem to grasp the fact that your nation's history of a constant land grab, mass murder, gaining favor by doing the most dishonorable things on behalf of EVERY conceivable genocidal conqueror that enslaved you, from Turkish Sultans to German Nazis and beyond, is, actually, a thing that hardly anoyone could be too proud of. So, yes, go on and enjoy your little Mondo Bizarro where the blood-and-soil-concept is an acme of civilization. And, please, don't play a tough guy here, with this silly little quotes that you've probably picked from some action movie, or some 3rd-rate take on history. These pathetic little rants on "tradition", "parents passed to their children", and so on. It's funny, because you know that I know that all the "tradition" you have consists of the grandftahers who served as Hitler's vultures some sixty five years back. After that, a big Commie gulag, Comrade Mao-style -:). Now you've moved on, selling dope to the kids in America and Europe. Real effin achievement...

Everyone knows just about enough of your "bravery" and "manhood" toward the unarmed civilians, women, children, elderly, monks and nuns. You've had your chance with the Serbian army, but you decided to crybaby NATO in, instead of fighting like the men. Just like the WW2, when you cheered the Nazis, and waited 'till it was safe to start pillaging, raping, murdering and ethnic cleansing around. First Hitler, then Comrade Hoxha, then Bill and Hitlery...I don't envy you. Not by a long shot
