We can live together, Ministers tell Serb hosts

Dailies report that the Kosovo Government officials are planning to spend two months visiting Serb areas to promote better communication between ethnic communities.

The programme is an effort by the Ministry of Local Government, which is a coordinator of the third and the fourth Standards dealing with the ‘freedom of movement’ and ‘sustainable returns’.

‘The visits aim to create an environment that promotes tolerance, respect for diversity, freedom of movement, human rights, property rights and is a call for the integration and employment of minorities,’ reads a Government programme.

Kosovo Government leaders will be split in three groups; each comprising four ministers, who will visit different regions inhabited by Serbs.

A very neat idea. I'm sure there are a lot of little step like this that can be done, including telling the Serb hosts what their Albanian neighbors expect from them in order to live in peace.

yea "neat idea".

Hey Ive got another "neat idea", how about the albanian neighbors come over and help rebuild the Churches and Monasteries that they destroyed?

Or maybe the disburse the monies allocated to the Serbs to rebuild their homes that were destroyed during the war.

That would REALLY be "neat"

Eh where do you live? Pluto? That is EXACTLY what is being done! Kosovar money is rebuilding houses, churches, infact KPC (ex-KLA) units are helping in that task.

P.S. money or funds not monies.

BBC had an article on how KPC is helping Serbs building their houses. As you well know, they have also offered protection to Serb churches but since that chance has never been given to them, nobody can blame them.

Now its time for Belgrade to pay war reparations to Kosovars that they invaded.

It's a great step that Kosovar money is being used for the KPC to rebuild Serb houses destroyed by a few Albanian fanatics.
So imagine what a step toward reconciliation it would be if the Serbian government allocated money to rebuild 100,000 Albanian houses and 200 mosques destroyed by its official armed forces in 1999. Tadic? Draskovic? Kostunica? Any takers?

Last poster, you are behaving like we owe you something, but it's the other way around. Malo morgen if you think something. Just send them to +988-800-dontcarewhatyouthink. I fear for your mental health, you might decide to castrate yourself if left unattended.

Srbija nije mala, nije mala, ali je propala.

Dear Serbs,

Here is how the KLA (Kosovar Liberation Amry, please note it doesnt say Albanian Liberation Amry and quite rightly since there was also Gypsies fighting against Serb terrorism), is helping rebuild Serb houses. Also please note that KLA fighters fought against Serb terrorism, not Serbs.

Maybe try this:

or this:

http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/Kosovo/Kosovo-Current_News233.htm

and don't tell me the reporteers here - Michael Sells and Andres Reidlmyer - are anti-Serb - sure they're anti-Chetnik, but check Sell's site and he also reports on the destruction of Orthodox churches in post June 1999 and March 2004.

To the serb poster,

Don’t worry we are not so concerned about the mosques. They have no meaning to Albanians. I could not however, say that the Orthodox Church has no meaning to the Serbs. After all it did partake in the war. The church will pay too. In fact the Decani Monastery has been seeking forgiveness for some time now, but its hollow.

We, the Albanians, are concerned about HUMAN LIFE. That is the costly damage that you will be paying for generations. If not you, your sons and daughters and their kids and their kids will be paying. We will make sure of it, we will not forget.
