Citing information the human rights activist Adem Demaçi gave to Gradjanski List newspaper, Epoka e Re quotes him as saying that Kosovo Albanians made a huge compromise when they decided to give up on the unification with Albania. “We will not give up on independence”, said Demaçi.
“What Albanians want is independence, and that cannot be reached through negotiations with the Serbian Government”, Demaçi said, according to the paper.

Well than you sir you can kiss your a$$ good bye!!!
bring it! hahahahahahahah fight on ur onw for once so the serbs can give u a real nice ass kicking!!!
I have a question for the previous posters:
Is this how everybody in Serbia thinks in regard to independece for albanians?
Sheding more blood, killing even more civilians, burning, raping and steeling?
This is what serbs did to albanians when they were citizens of Yugoslavia and now
serbs expect that albanians somehow forget and join with Serbia again?!!
You don't have any saying in what Kosova will become, not anymore.
You will have to get a visa to enter Kosova.
What is left to you serbs (read serpents) is to prey for forgivness for crimes your people have commited.
The world is looking at you in disgust.
Thats not true at all...
Serbia has done a lot of bad things in the past but they are right on the track now, believe me, I have very good insight in the balkans.
Kosova albanians on the other hand, are brought behind the curtain by their media and politicians that they should gain independence!? I can tell you by all of my heart and honour - you will NOT be independent. Every country stalls the talks because they dont know how to proceed ! Resolution 1244, that is the bible or koran if you want, is still very much valid. Remember, that resolution was and is a "steering wheel" that was made when Nato intervened and cannot suddenly be changed, because many countries signed it in UN.
But I tell you, many countries have changed their mind about Kosova since March 2004. And it seems like many albanians believe that the US is behind them. Well, some in US favors independence just like in other countries, and some do not. In the end, and here is the reality if you want to believe it or not (matters not what you believe because its a fact), the UN security council 5 permanent member states must vote yes to independence. If one votes no or veto, you can scream as much as you want that you are independent, but you are not.
Also, does Kosova albanians not know about the huge amount of criminality among their leaders or do they know but doesn´t care ? I would like to know, really. Please dont say "we have not, Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovenia etc have the same" Im asking you ! Do you know ?
EU citizen.
What would the other option be?
"More than autonomy less than indepence" is not a realistic solution. What could that be in between autonomy and independence?
Nobody has a name for it.
The independence idea is not something politicians in Kosova came up with and presented it to the people. Albanians in Kosova have dreamed about independence for decades. Albanians in Kosova never got a chance to be independent. They went from turkish rule under serbian rule without ever having the chance to say anything about it. All this because of the ignorance, arrogance and colonial mentality of the Great Powers of Europe at the time, which decided where albanians should live. Well almost 100 years later here we are again about to make the same mistakes.
I don't know for sure that technically Kosova will not be independent because one of UN security council 5 permanent members will vote "No" or veto. What I know for sure in my heart is tha nobody in the world can force Kosovan albanians to live with their killers anymore.
"Serbia has done a lot of bad things in the past but they are right on the track now, believe me, I have very good insight in the balkans".
Hey... belive you me,
Serbia is not on the right track because is still hiding war criminals and is nowhere near the "right track" with human rights and freedom of media.
Mongolia - July 29, 1990: First democratic elections held.
Serbia - 1997 - First non-communist government since 1944
Serbia - October 5, 2000 - Slobodan Milošević removed from power after huge protests in Belgrade.
Who cares if one or maybe two of the security council memebers votes with "no" or "veto". The US and the european countries will. The US and EU will recognize independence. That's what counts.
And hey, blaming Kosovar politicians for involvement in criminal activities from Serbia doesn't look very credible. Serbian politicans are not better.
Maybe Germany is an example for you After WW II Germany dispensed a huge part of former german territory in the interest of peace to Poland and Russia.
So believe me. It won't break your heart to let Kosova go.
The poster who referenced March 2004 is right about the impact of the riots on international opinion. The memory of all the Serb atrocities against the Albanians is fading and when a Serb Church is vandalized or a Serb farmer is beaten--even though the Serb ethnic cleansing was vastly greater in scale--it is the fresh incidents that are in the newspapers and in everyone's mind.
hihihihiihhihihi nato will leave hihihihihihihiihi and then who is gonna protect u????
We just commemorated our 4th anniversary of 9/11 here in the states...I can tell you that each bombing, each drive by shooting, each church desecration reminds us that kosovo is a majority muslim place that is fraught with violence and hatred. We didn't intervene for the pepetuation of that. The society you have created there in 6 years is nothing to reward. It is a shame.
To the Serb above who probably hasn't gotten his citizenship yet. Who gave you the right to speak in the name of Americans?
Albanian churches were violated lots of time by the Serbs. They destrouyed our churches and built Serbian churches over the ruins and sometimes they didn't even ruin them, they just prosecuted those who were in charge of Albanian churches and turned them into Serbian churches.
That said who gives a $hit about the Serbian church when its head is involved in the murder of the former prime minister and the organized criminal clan of ZEMUN.
Listen to serb hypocrisy trying to appropriate 9/11 tragedy.
You are fooling nobody here.
You people celebrated that day.
And how pathetic is your effort to associate muslim population in the Balcans with islamist terrorism.
The criticism toward albanian society in Kosova seems preposterous coming from Serbia where mafia gangs assasinated the prime minister on the street and the government hides war criminals like Mladic.
Serbia? I am writing from the suburbs of a sweet mid-Atlantic state...and let me tell you, since 9/11 and the war in Iraq, any majority muslim nation where churches are being destroyed, cars are blowing up, presidents fear for their life...well, let's just say, our eyes are opened and we know we bombed the wrong side...6 years of the majority albanian/muslim "hatred and vengeance" show has proven that
Serbia, you got nothing on Mongolia!
Politically demented serbs needed 10 years to switch to pluralism and get rid of marksist Milosevic.
10 years after the rest of East Europe.
"Dragica" - that sound funny :)
What does it mean?
"Manly woman"?
"Hairy woman"?
I am from Tirana and do not understand serbo/croatian, but i remember serbian anchorwomen on yugoslav tv.
They all sounded like men...and talk about being bored?
Good!
Yo bro from Tirana, I bet you remeber when the used to show that film " Wag the Dog" on the Serb national TV 24/7 during the war. I mean I could hear the NATO planes flying over Albania and into Kosova bombing the $hit out of Belgrade and here you had these retards showing a movie where US attacks Albania. Pretty ironic isn't it. That is Serbian propaganda at its finest. A NATO bomb drops in the center of Belgrade and they go; look at the TV the US is bombing Albania. What is even funnier is that while they were re-running the movie 24/7 they get an ultimatum from NATO to empty the Serb National TV building. I guess they liked that movie so much that they decided to form a human shield to stop NATO. Give me a break.
World Bank: Serbia Making Great Progress
Associated Press
All Associated Press News
BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro (AP) - Serbia-Montenegro has made great progress in implementing business-friendly policies, but there is still a long way to go in economic reforms, the World Bank said Friday.
"The country came to reforms late compared to neighbors in the region, and needs to catch up," said Carolyn Yungr, World Bank envoy to the country.
This week's report, entitled "Doing Business in 2006: Creating Jobs" and co-sponsored by the World Bank and the International Finance Corp., the bank's private-sector arm, found Serbia-Montenegro among the 12 most-reformed places to operate, out of 155 countries reviewed last year.
Georgia, Slovakia, Germany, Finland, Latvia, the Netherlands and Romania were also among leading reformers.
In the 188-page study, Serbia-Montenegro led in overhauling its policies, improving in eight of the 10 areas the report examined.
Belgrade saw the report as a huge boost for conservative Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica of Serbia, the dominant republic in the two-member union.
"A lot of good things have happened and some credit is due to the government," Yungr told The Associated Press. "There has been tremendous progress, just as long as you don't put up your feet and say you are done."
She stressed that "political stability is very important" for continued reforms but would not speculate on how political scandals shaking Kostunica's Cabinet would translate to the economy.
The report found that to take legal action to enforce a simple business contract, a businessman in Serbia required an average of 635 days in 2004, down from the 1,028 days the previous year.
"That's still quite a long time," said Simeon Djankov, one of the report's authors who was in Belgrade Friday to present the World Bank study.
Registering a business has gone down to an average of 15 days from the 53 needed in 2003, Djankov added. In the past nine months, 7,363 new businesses have opened up in Serbia.
Djankov said Serbia needs to change labor legislation to make the labor market more flexible, and cut down on the red tape in trading.
"The point we are trying to make is that Serbia needs to keep this up for a number of years," Djankov said. "But it's on the right path."
The World Bank study is based on data from more than 3,500 local experts, business consultants, lawyers, accountants, government officials and leading academics around the world.

THIS ENTIRE WEBSITE IS A LAME ATTEMPT BY ALBANIANS TO PR THEIR HOPLESS CAUSE FOR INDEPENDENCE. KOSOVO (NOT FUCKING KOSOVA WHICH DOESN'T EXIST AS A WORD) IS SERBIA. IT WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING ELSE. IF THE EXTREMIST ALBANIANS DON'T AGREE WITH THIS THEN QUITE FRANKLY THEY CAN PISS OFF TO ALBANIA - IT'S JUST NEXT DOOR - WHERE THEY CAME FROM. LEAVE SERBIA AND PEACE AND STOP TRYING TO IMPOSE AN ISLAMIC STATE ON A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.
In the latter part of the Middle Ages, Albanian urban society reached a high point of development. Foreign commerce flourished to such an extent that leading Albanian merchants had their own agencies in Venice, Ragusa (modern Dubrovnik, Croatia), and Thessalonica (now Thessaloniki, Greece). The prosperity of the cities also stimulated the development of education and the arts. Albanian, however, was not the language used in schools, churches, and official government transactions. Instead, Greek and Latin, which had the powerful support of the state and the church, were the official languages of culture and literature. The new administrative system of the themes, or military provinces created by the Byzantine Empire, contributed to the eventual rise of feudalism in Albania, as peasant soldiers who served military lords became serfs on their landed estates. Among the leading families of the Albanian feudal nobility were the Thopias, Balshas, Shpatas, Muzakas, Aranitis, Dukagjinis, and Kastriotis. The first three of these rose to become rulers of principalities that were practically independent of Byzantium. albania
