Serbia declined US envoy's "deal" over Kosovo independence - PM's adviser

Text of report by Belgrade-based private BKTV on 18 February

[Presenter Gordana Juzbasic] An adviser to the prime minister of Serbia [Vojislav Kostunica], Vladeta Jankovic, has claimed that US special envoy for Kosovo [status talks] Frank Wisner during a recent session of the [UN] Security Council noted in an informal discussion that Kosovo independence was a good option for Serbia. Wisner constantly reiterated that Serbia only had problems coming from Kosovo, adding that we were not capable of exercising our authority there and there was a serious danger of an Albanian revolt if they do not get independence. In other words, Jankovic said, Wisner was offering some sort of a deal and tradeoff, but we declined this.

"He is the leader of Pokret Snaga Srbije (translated as Power of Serbia Movement), a party that claims they will return "true Serbian values"."

True Serbian Values (TBV) are?

This is also a good link to learn about our Hero, Adem Jashari.

That's a really dumb-arse thing to say. Karic is the biggest oligarch in the Balkans and he got all his wealth thanks to his best mates Milosevic and his wife Miriana Markovic. Actually he started out in Kosova, so he was pretty important in Milosevic's early days in consoldiating power by exploiting the Kosova issue. He built his house right next door to the Milosevic residence, and hawked the stupid and mindless books written by Markovic. There may be some "witch-hunt or there may not be, but it's mainly about division of loot questions. My undersranding is that he owes mega-bucks to the tax dept, since as a buddy of Milosevic he never had to pay any taxes even though he was the richest man in Serbia, and after Milosevic fell some of the elite now want him to pay up, while others probably have a thousand conenctions to him

I read an article from a Serbian Balkan Expert 10 years ago. He claimed that if Kosovo do not become divided from Serbia Montenegro, within 50 years nearly half the population of Serbia will become Albanians.

So in the long term Serbia will be ruled by Albanian politics if it dose not get independenc now.

Ignore the Serb terrorist above. These are the same people who bless those who kill children and kisss their hands after killing seven months old Albanian babies.

Ok that terrorist comment can be turned right against u, im not the person who posted it, but what do u think the KLA did? If u classify him as a terrorist you can classify urself as one as well because u r spreadin the hate as well the KLA killed civilians, they killed farmers who were harvesting crops and they mutilated their children so dont be saying it like the serbs are devils.

"We are not angels, nor are we the devils you made us out to be...."

Bogoljub Karic is being hunted by the minority gov. of Kostunica bc there were indications that some deputies in the Serbian parliament were going to switch sided and join his party. That led Kostunica to declare a war to Karic through his Finance ministed Djelic. Bear in mind it has been 6 years since the end of SM regime and only now they have found a reason to go after him. For us Kosovars it's a bad news since he (Karic) was more business oriented and recognized the need to work together!

It is strange, Serbs who have nothing to do with Europe of 20th century attack Albanians on the basis of Islam. Serbia would have made a great central Asian country, somewhere between Russia and Georgia. Albanians are a real European secular society. Just to remind you, dear Chetnicks, Albania was the only officially atheist country in the world, and is now secular, as most of European countries. You have your monstruous church, that support killing, rule your politics.
