Burns: UN mediated talks likely to make Kosovo independent state

(Washington, DTT-NET.COM) – Top officials of US administration said that ongoing talks mediated by UN between Ethnic Albanans and Serbian authorities are aiming to make Kosovo and independent state by the end of the year.

Speaking at a debate on EU-US relations organised by Center for Strategic and International Studies on 6 April in Washington, Nicholas Burns the US Under Secretary for Political Affairs said that Western Balkans is the common remaining challenge for US and EU where both partners must continue their efforts to establish a sustainable peace which should be followowed with the region joining both organisations.

“Our bussines in Europe isn’t finished because the Balkans remains an iland in the hard of Europe that is not connected to the great trans-atlantic institutions: EU and NATO… all of us in Europe, in US and NATO are confirmed in our judgement that ones Serbia becomes democratic, and Croaita, Albania and Macedonia and an independent Kosovo, if it is to be created by UN sometime this year, and that seems to be the objective to this negotiation, that all those states should have a European vocation.” Burns said.

Burns called on EU and NATO to offer a clear membership perspective to countries of the region.

“We Americans would say that Europe should say quite clearly that the future of those countries would be as members of EU and that we at NATO should also send that same strong signal. Because the great strategic objective of every American administration, going all the way back to the beginning of cold war was that Europe should be free and in peace and we are nearly of achieving of that great strategic objective. But the Balkans remains the unfinished bussines…” Burns said.

They will need new UN resolution for the independence and Russia was already said it, only universal political solution as a solution for Kosovo and Metohija.

Two Albanian states? Where is the logic here? Of course, there will be no two separate but one united Great Albania or Dardania. That is the plan from the beginning. Like always in american foreign policy, mistake after mistake, after mistake...

Don't BS - Kosova will be independent within a year and it's obvious that all of you know it, otherwise you wouldn't try to come na let us know how impossible is that. And yes Ivan, your comments are really hurting us. I feel sad to have such lunatics living in a neighboring country.

Ivan how many times do I have to call you an illiterate shka until you learn that you really are one? I specifically posted your source, why, because I don't trust crap from that "reliable source". I also didn't read what you posted becuase I know whatever tanjung or any other BS media will post is based on lies, assumptions, and just plain myths.

Now why would you talk about the truth? All you know about Kosova is what your media feeds to you.

Now...


"all the money EU pumped into Kosovo and Metohija has gone to your mafia bosses."


Why would you say such an ironic ,contreversial, and a very unintelligent thing? Who do you think had to rebuild everything Chetniks blazed in their cowardious flee to the shit hole? Kosovars had to rebuild it. We also needed lots of help from people and government. The money as you claim went to bossman is not true, it actually went to building things to shelter mainly Albanians. Do you know how many roads are still messed up of Chetnik tanks that have teared the place up? How many mosques blazed? How many houses burnt down? How many shops gone in flames? What does America do after each war? They rebuild the country...did you hear of a mission called "Rebuilding Kosova?" Of course not!

Hey...

Ciggi

I am glad you want to fight, I can't back a great offer down, plus it's self defense. If you guys are so willing to fight to the last man for your "holy land" then why did the Chetniks run like little girls back to the shit hole, why couldn't they win, even after hiring mercenaries from Russia? I will tell you why, no heart. If you think Kosova will once again be in your reach well the divide just got farther. We may be neighbors but you are farther away from me then anyone. If you plan to fight, bring guns, and also terrorist, I mean the Chetniks. I can guarentee you, we will walk all over you. Yes we will reunited all Albanian lands and bring more fear to all terrorist Serbs. Remember the more you live in mythical lands with fairees and ponies the more you are bringing the dream of uniting all Albanians alive...

kristian,

"If your country is so democratic: will the govt. share power? Will they allow albanians (if elected to a certain office) to govern serbs?
Can you see the next prime minister of Serbia as being Albanian? Or the next president? Or the next general of your armed forces as being albanian?"

That's very good question and democratic Serbia has only one answer, yes, Albanians must get their seats in Serbian parlament according to the votes they get on elections. Albanian ministers in Serbian government? With pleasure.
Of course, it's early for that now, but in few years, i think that would help Serbs and Albanians on their way to EU.

"The albanian population is growing at a rapid rate and by the year 2030 we will outnumber you in the whole of Serbian and Montenegro if they remain together!"

Growing population can be a factor, but not the most important factor. Look at the Israel, small population surrounded by the Arab growing population and they're not worrying at all. Strong (military) economy is making miracles.

"The albanians are the new kid on the block and you go after them bc you can distract the public and have someone to blame while in your backyard there are serbs committing more atrocious crimes then the albanians."

War crimes were commited on both sides that is unquestionable, but let not go in circle again.

International community almost 7 years (beyond Resolution 1244) is helping you to prove that you are capable of running independent Kosovo and Metohija and what results they(you) got? Corruption on all state levels, very high unemployment, industry hardly exist, warlords and criminals are heroes and with no economic cooperation with Serbia it's nearly imposible for Kosovo that can provide their citizens a normal standard of life.

Even Albania by the economic criteria can't match EU standards in a decade ahead, then how can Kosovo and Metohija would do it for itself?
What are your plans? What is the vision? Don't repeat only give us independence, independence, independence? What's eventually after that?

At the end, you can go independent as maybe US in some way pressure that solution, but Serbia, once it reclaim position of regional econonomic leader i believe will have a few questions about once occupied territory. And someone will have to answer it, this time for real.

It's not treat, it's simply situation where you can't give one nation everything and one nation nothing.

"Can you see the next prime minister of Serbia as being Albanian? Or the next president"

it wouldn't be a problem for me if this specific person would work for the benefit of the entire country and its nations, and not only for one specific group-his own.

If Ljajic, despite being a Bosniak, would candidate himself for the president of Serbia, he would surely get my vote because he is a man of great qualities and works for the benefit of all of us, not only the Bosniaks. If such an albanian appears on our political scene, he would have my support.

Anonymous said...

Can you imagine an Kosovar albanian consider himself a citizen of serbia? I am sure there are a few. But as far as myself I'd rather be a citizen of Uganda. However, all of you arguing here should understand a few things. Firstly, serbs will try to influence everything in Kosova through serbs of Kosova and us Albanians will reciprocate in south serbia. So in the future there will always be tensions between us and serbia no matter what the status will be. This is not all bad as we think. It will keep us on our toes and them in an offensive be it diplomatic or otherwise. In such an instance to them we will be a barrier of moving forward, us it will make more radical. Therefore, this part of Europe will stay like it is right now. Who will win anyones guess is just as good. So let's wait and see cause this internet bs is getting a bit trite. As an albanian I welcome all this antagonism. Cause at times I think we albanians seem to forget who the enemy is.

Gujgli, obviously you have never been to Kosova and you're regurgigating here wahtever you read from journalists that also have never been to Kosova. Cvijus used to think the same but after visiting Kosova last month he is now a changed man.

Anonymous said...

You interpret me wrong mate

My opinion was the same even before my trip to Kosovo, I'm just saying that a man with qualities such as those of Ljajic is acceptable for me to lead Serbia and I would be indifferent to his nationality. What would matter for me is that he is a capable man and loyal to the Republic of Serbia and ALL of its inhabitants and not only to his copatriots.

One question to the albanians:

Would you accept such man in Kosovo of Serbian origin?

Anonymous said...

...oh yeah

in the case of Serbia, this man should be elected by democratic means => majority of votes. I don't accept any model of guaranteed seats or rotating presidency

Than why do you expect that we would accept an albanian as the PM of Serbia? You already know my personal opinion, but it's really absurd to expext a albo as the PM of Serbia but under no way a Serb as the PM of Kosovo.

Cvijus, why are you denying that the trip to Kosova helped you get the hate out of your heart. I meant it in the best way possible.

Guys, I'm Albanian and I want a Serb for president of Kosova. I'm OK with him/her defending rights of Serbs, as long as he/she works for the unification of Kosova with Albania. ;)

Anonymous said...

I don't know who asked this but I want to answer it, the question was,"could Kosovans stand a Serb President" or "could Serbs stand a Kosovan President?" It's simple if Kosova does not get independence which is impossible and is stuck under "DEMOCRATIC SERBIA" then there must be some changes. All Serbs have to respect the name, that is, Kosova is called Kosova. No Metohija crap, no kosmet, none of that crap. And also change the name from Serbia to Narnia. Since Kosovans make 20% of the population according to Serbian mentallity that means we can rule all institutions and take ever seat. Hey 20 is 4x bigger then 5%. Also, let go of Vojvodina and Montenegro.

But Kosovars think about this, do we really want to get stuck with illiterate idiots? We'd have to build schools and educate them. Also Serbs since you love to compare Kosova to Albania (go figure) then tell me why Serbia ruled as top 10 most corrupt nation in 2003. While Cuba and others ruled in the 40's. Serbia is a time bomb ready to go off, soon they will have a civil war, I can't wait to see the fireworks.

Cviji what did see that changed your heart and made you a Christian all over again?

Anonymous said...

Ivane,

Thems fightin' words! ...but I'm 100% sure that if we (serbs and Albanians) went to war again tomorrow, your type (the Ivans of serbia) would never take any physical part in it themselves. Not because you are a pacifist but because you seem to be the type that would propagate war and violence and perhaps even help the financing of it. I believe you would happily see others be maimed, slaughtered and killed, just as long as it's not you or your close (immediate) family.

Am I right???...I think so.

Ivan, I'm sorry that hurt your feelings, and you are taking my response as a threat. Serbia is a ticking time bomb, you know it yourself. Four war laters, you have learned nothing but only unstabalized the whole world and left hundreds of thousands dead.

Hashim Thaçi is the biggest opponent to any party in Kosova, it's only right of him to claim most of the time. I gave you a survey done in 2003, with FACTS. It's his word against a survey done by NPO.
Would you like me to give you credible sources where Serbian leaders talk about corruption in police and government that is very dangerous to Serbian government?

But, I don't think we'll have to ...you guys are coming around to reality even if ever so slowly. As for the Presheva Valley, we're watching you. If you keep pushing us there, as you are at the moment, I'm 100% sure we will take more firmer or more radical steps to achieve our human and national rights.

All you serbs have to do is give back what is ours and also pay the rent for up till now (not to mention war reperations and compensation for the human loss, all of course in Euros.

WE are not denying that there is corruption at all levels in Serbia. yes Serbia is corrupt, but less corrupt than it was in 90s, and thank God its getting less and less corrupt at all levels. Before everything was pushed under the carpet, but now people know more whats going on.

But what I find annoying is that you siptars keep opn insisting that you are angels, how your terrorists for politicans wouldnt hurt a fly (except to execute a few hundred of Serbs).

I guess in Serbia we are at a stage where we recoignize the corruption, but you in "Kosova" are still in the denial phase. Taci is speaking out based on facts, and i congratulate him for that.

Wake up siptari, you are no angles...


Ivan seriously do you have down-syndrom, A.D.D., or just plain illiterate?

You have car factories making illegal weapons, that's a terrorist activity. You have secret militaries excecuting minorities, you have radicals that are more fascist then the Nazis, and you are saying Serbia is less corrupt? Let me remind you again, Serbia = Top 10. I don't care what Thaçi says. We are not angels but when you compare Serbians to Kosovars we are. We didn't massacre, kill, burn, cut Serbs. There are/was no Serbian Genocide in Kosova executed by Kosovars. You Serbs keep forgetting, you got lucky in 1900's as the whoreish Europe raped Albania (the Kosova part) and gave it to you. Ever since we have been treated like crap, less important then 2nd rate citizens. You simply don't understand all the human rights violations. So yes we are ANGELS, we want to move towards democracy while Serbia wants to delay everything for another 500 years and start a crusade---for the "holy land." HAHAHA :P. Kosova is lost, freedom is inevitable.

Ohh yes, now to reply to my "terrorist-politicians." Okay your Chetniks fought for "state integrety, so you consider them heroes. My politicians fought to free our land from Shkije, so they are heroes. Remember there are two definition for a terrorist:

Someone who causes harm, pain, and fear for personal reasons.

A freedom Fighter.

To us they are FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

No their heads were cutten when they were alive. You're so stupid.

A cutten head is a cutten head, and those ppl on the pics not only break the rules of war (war crime) but also show an extended amount of barbarity by playing with the heads.
