Czech Premier Mirek Topolanek

The Prime Minister went on to say that developments after the war in Kosovo have led to the latter's independence, informs the Czech magazine "Exporter" relying in an interview with the PM.

"I must say that when it comes down to Kosovo, there is no good solution. The least worst solution is to recognize Kosovo, no matter how difficult this can be for Czech citizens, or for some ministers", Topolanek was quoted as saying.

... Yugoslavia was not Serbia. Serbia is not Yugoslavia. The New Yugoslav Constitution in 1974 gave to Kosova the autonomy from Serbia. “Following serious rioting by Kosovars in 1968 (and with the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia pushing Albania and Yugoslavia toward greater cooperation), Tito increased federal funding to Kosova. In 1974, a new Yugoslav constitution gave the Kosovo provincial assembly the right to elect its own representatives to the Chamber of Republics and Provinces of the Yugoslav federal legislature”. This was recognized by all 6 Republics of the Federate of Yugoslavia. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/62/094.html On July 5, 1990, the Serbian parliament (Illegally and Unilaterally) abolished Kosova's political autonomy and dissolved its provincial assembly and government. The only Albanian-language daily newspaper, Rilindja, was banned, as were all TV and radio broadcasts in Albanian. I can’t comprehend how a minority of 7% of the population, pretend to take off the land, the language, culture and the life of the rest of Kosova. Kosovars have the right to live free and independent in their land where they are born, generation after generation, live and will die. http://www.gendercide.org/case_kosovo.html

... Most Serbs lie throught their teeth about the history of the region. And their lies are so outrageous that complete bystanders like myself have felt morally compelled to fight them. The only item missing in the history of Serbian collaboration with the Turkish invasion of the Balkans is the decisive role Stefan Lazarevic played in the defeat of the Christian armies at the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396. His cavalry attacked the Hungarian forces on their right flank, and routed them.

... Dear NICK, In your post, repeating many times “It was the Serbs who…. The Serbs also…”, you didn’t give any help to Serbian, in contrary you damaged the Serbian. As all Serbian, you too, suffer from a bad infectious disease named Serbo-Centrism. You ignore the rest of the world except Russians. In the battle of Kosova 1389, was split a lot of blood. This blood was Hungarians, Bulgarians, Romanians, Poles, Albanians and Serbs Blood. But you Serbs ignore all of them. What about the Albanians fights, with their leader Skanderbeg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skanderbeg The Ottoman Empire's expansion was ground to a halt during the timeframe in which Skanderbeg and his Albanian forces resisted. Much credit must also go to the successful resistance mounted by Vlad III Dracula in Wallachia, as well as the defeats inflicted upon the Ottomans by Hunyadi and his Hungarian forces. But not by SERBIANS, who was cooperating with Ottoman invaders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/&...ković The contribution given by Serbs in WW2 was microscopic, compared with the Heroic War of Anglo Americans in Europe (Carpet Bombing of Nazis Germany) and the War in the Pacific. Three Trillion Dollars were spent to destroy the Nazis War Machine and Japan. More than 20 million Russian killed in the Ukrainian front? The lider of Partisan Yougoslav movement was not a Serb. He was a Croat, and he stood by his Croatian fellow until his death in 1980. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josip_Broz_Tito The Albanian Fought fiercely against Italian Fachists and Geman Nazis. They created an army of 80000 partisans under their leader Enver Hoxha and lost 28000 partisans. For about 1 million Albanians at that time this was not to little. Ironically was Albanian Partisans whom after liberated Albania from the Nazis, they helped Yugoslav Partisans to, and split their blood for the Yugoslav people. After the liberation from the Nazis occupation on 28 November or 29 November 1944, several Albanian partisan divisions crossed the border into German occupied Yugoslavia and there contributed to the chasing out of the last pockets of German resistance alongside Tito's partisans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enver_Hoxha There is no more free lunch for the Serbian, there are not any scrap left for Serbian. You are in your own. The first thing to do, you must learn how to behave, and try to make the metamorphosis from a Beast to Humanoid.

... Dear NICK, The only difference between an Illyrian and you is: An Illyrian is afraid to lie, you are not. Of course who were first is irrelevant for you, because you were not there. For us is relevant because we were there and we are still there today. I will treat this topic in my third comment. It is true, It was the Serbs who died fighting the Turks in Kosovo 1389, at the Battle of Kosovo-Polje, but this was only one fight, the Murad I army has no more than 40000 soldiers and: The Serbian Army vas defeated and destroyed for ever by Ottomans. The Serbian nation was scared to death and capitulated to Ottomans. The son of Serbian King Lazar, his name was Stefan, capitulated and surrounded to Ottomans with all of his family. Because his sister was beautiful, the son of Sultan Murat I, his name was Bayezid, took Stefan's sister in his harem as one of his numerous wifes. Serbia resulted to a virtual vassal state with Serbian nobles paying tribute and supplying soldiers to the Ottomans. Stefan became a loyal ally of Bayezid, going on to contribute significant forces to many of Bayezid's future military engagements. Serbian nation was a great help for Ottomans to conquer all Balkans. In return the Serbians took under the control a lot of land, as they was favored by Ottomans, they was allowed to kip their religion, and remained unmolested by Turks till the end of 18 century, when Serbian Stabbed Turkey on the back and was saved by Russians from a total defeat. Why are you afraid to mention the battle of Kosovo 1448, against Sultan Murad II's forces? The reason is because this time Serbs under their King Brankovic were fighting side by side together with Ottomans against John Hyniad’s Hungarian army and against Skanderbeg’s Albanian army and others to save Ottoman occupation of Balkans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Đurađ_Branković A crusading army led by Regent John Hunyadi of Hungary was defeated by Sultan Murad II's forces at Kosovo Polje in 1448. The defeat was caused in part by Branković's betrayal of Hunyadi; Branković intercepted the Albanian reinforcements of Skanderbeg and delayed them when they were en route to the battle. This was the last concerted attempt in the Middle Ages to expel the Ottomans from southeastern Europe. Although Hungary was able to successfully defy the Ottomans despite the defeat at Kosovo Polje during Hunyadi's lifetime, the kingdom fell to the Ottomans in the 16th century. Branković also captured Hunyadi at Smederevo for a short time when he was going home from Kosovo in 1448. You see Nick; you can lay only with some lines. I have to add paragraphs for each of your lies. Continued

... The debate as to who was first is useless and irrelevant. Your albanian history books are just as bias and one sided as the Serbian ones. What does matter however is what albanians have done with their precious homeland. Apart from KLA terrorists, they have never fought, defended or split any blood for this land. It was the Serbs who ruled the region. It was the Serbs who died fighting the Turks in Kosovo 1389, at the Battle of Kosovo-Polje, and it was the Serbs and Russian who finally defeated them. The Serbs also defeated the Germans in WW2 What did the albanians do?? Nothing! You were just vultures, picking up the scraps that were left over from others.

... It's about time to recognize the historical right of Kosova (Dardania) to have its destiny fulfilled-That is full independence. Kosova never was a Serbian province. It was there, since the times of birth of European civilization, a very distinct Dardanian/llyrian identity. Always populated by Dardanias who, although under constant pressure of forcefully migration by Serbian Shovinism, Tito's Yugoslavia & Milloshevic's Serbia, still make up 92% of the population. They speak Illyrian language with the dialect GEGE. Serbs always have been a minority there. We know that Serbs appeared in Balkans (then Illyria) only by the 6th Century AD, and they speak a language more similar to Ukrainian then Russian. They have always been a minority and 'the story' of Kosova being the Heartland of Serbia is just a pure Serbian nationalist fantasy. Facts Speak Louder Than Words and Serbia’s Lies Will Collapse by Themselves. Serbs always have been considered as oppressors there, not just by Albanian majority, but also by other ethnic groups too. Serbs just occupied Kosova during the rise of the Serbian nationalism early 20th century from Ottomans, who by then were loosing the Balkans after 500 years of occupation. The borders of Kosova are well established and recognized. Now Kosova should be Free! http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/62/094.html I can’t comprehend how a minority of 7% of the population, pretend to take off the land, the language, culture and the life of the rest of Kosova. Kosovars have the right to live free and independent in their land where they are born, generation after generation, live and will die. http://www.gendercide.org/case_kosovo.html
