Comments for Spain should recognize Kosovo at http://www.newkosovareport.com , comment 1 to 24 out of 20 comments http://www.newkosovareport.com Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:51:11 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1913 Every individual of this world not supporting the independence of Kosovo is at the same time supporter of Milosevic's policies. These policies were primarily based on massacres, genocide and ethnic cleansing. Kosovo is not same as Catalonia, and certainly Spain has not used tanks and army in order to solve Catalonia's separatist claims. Spain is a democracy within a unique system of governance called the EU. They will soon have to move beyond traditional international law because kosovo issue is unique as well. - Sasa Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:19:29 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1448 For me recognition of independence is just a nice political statement. It costs nothing and it sounds good. But the real sign of recognition and acceptance of Kosovar people would be the abolishing of visa systems! This I dont see happening in Kosovo. Not even in Serbia. Though as things develop now in Serbia they might have a chance to get on the white list in 2009. But what about Kosova? I am sure that most or even all EU countries will recognize it as free and independent state but at the same time introduce very strict visa systems. I dont think it is fair. I think it is a manipulation. Croats can travel to most EU countries without visas. what is the difference between Croats and Kosovars? Didn't they have similar problems in the past? Maybe I am just pesimistic but until I see that EU countries and US and all others who recognize Kosova open their borders to ordinary Kosovars I don't believe in thier sincere intentions. It's all politics to me. Only time will show. What message will it send to Kosovar people when (perhaps) next year Serbians won't need visas to EU and Kosovars have to wait in lines in front of embassies? I don't know the exact data but can somebody tell me to which countries can Kosovars travel without visas? For me those are the countries that trully recognize Kosovar people as equal and which are not afraid of opening their borders to them.

Brainwashed by their Government Serbian are living in a virtual reality created by the (Serbo – Centrist) and (Serbo – Chauvinist) propaganda. Unfortunately the statement was not mine. I did a mistake not putting quotes (“) and providing the source. Now I’m correcting my mistake. The source: Briefings and Congressional Testimony. Kosovo Isn’t the Problem, Serbia Is Testimony of Vice President for Post-Conflict Peace and Stability Operations Daniel Serwer before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. March 4, 2008 http://www.usip.org/congress/testimony/2008/0304_serwer.html Based on his statements, you are wrong. “My main point is this: Kosovo isn’t the problem, Serbia is. I will offer a policy on Serbia that departs from what we have been doing. I call it the Clear Path Forward, because it makes clear what Belgrade needs to do to make its way towards Europe”. Based on his statements, you are trying to turn back the wheel of history “Belgrade is trying to turn back the clock “While Albanians celebrate, Serbs are protesting. Serb police supported rioters who burned UN and Kosovo police checkpoints near the now international border. Serbia’s minister for Kosovo hailed these efforts as consonant with government policy, thus disrespecting UN Security Council resolution 1244, to which Belgrade often appeals, and causing Kosovo Serbs to ask him to resign. Young extremists attacked the U.S. and other embassies, left unguarded during a government-endorsed demonstration. There have also been riots outside Belgrade, as well as attacks on independent media. The Serbian government is trying to turn back the clock. Parliament, where no Kosovar has sat since Milosevic deprived the province of autonomy almost 20 years ago, announced it had annulled the independence declaration and declared deployment of an EU mission to maintain rule of law unacceptable. The Supreme Court failed to act when the Serbian government struck Kosovars from the voter rolls to ensure approval of a new constitution prohibiting recognition of Kosovo’s independence, but it quickly denounced the independence declaration as illegal”. And the conclusion: “We have done the right thing to join our European partners in recognizing Kosovo as a sovereign state, a move that has prevented much worse violence and instability than we have seen so far. We need now to repair relations with Serbia by delineating a Clear Path Forward and patiently awaiting Belgrade’s realization that its citizens will be far better off if their government embarks on it. It may take a long time for that to happen.” Unfortunately this is not a dream this is a reality that you are facing now, and from which you can’t escape with lies or terrorist and criminal actions. It is true that NATO is still there but without their “HEAVY EQUIPMENTS” Using the new free way Durres - Pristina they can deliver these “HEAVY EQOIPMENTS” in less than two hours in Pristina, and I wish you won’t taste them. - bluerose799 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:55:46 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1426 It seems bery clear that there a strong majority of Anti-Serb posters on this site. It is unfortunate that they seem to have depended souly on single source news. Any person worthy of human level intelligence will certainly consult the information providers from the whole specturm of sources. There are a large number of documented cases that were strictly against Serbian citizens in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo during the many post Yugoslavia wars. Though the western powers have continually, and successfully swept many and most of these incidence under the proverbial rug. Within the Knin region of Croatia, over 1/4 of a million ethic serbs were cleaned in the summer of 1995, over a period of 3 days. Very few (roughly 10%) of these peoples have returned. The timeline of the Kosovo's Serbian erractication played out over a few generations, but again, these arguments fall on deaf ears when people are blind to the whole truth. There has been little denail of the facts that there were multiple incidence of ethnic hate-based crimes prior, during and after the wars, from all sides to all sides. The Europen Balkans region has always been and is likelly to continue to be a very volitile ethnically tense region. Much like the world's Jewish population has a special place in their hearts for the world's German population over something that was done some 60 years ago, and no one has blamed the Jews for their right to have such feelings for Germany, and Germans; the world has played a very hipocritical game with Serbia, who was the overwhlemingly largest target of the Croatian Nazi regiem. History, all of it. We look to the future with clind eyes, because today we wish to sweep history under the rug. The violent histories of the world's "power brochere nations" is always ignored. The rest of the world should listen to America, England, France, Germany Russia, all countries that have demonstrated their willingness and desire for greater conquests, empire building, and pure control. Each of these contries is responsible for the destuction of indigeounous peoples the world over, each of these countries is responsible for countless preventable deaths of their own citizens as well as peoples of other nations. These are the countries that the rest of the world tries to immitate. It must be said that, all of us pawns, should be wary of the "truths" that we are told. My cursory view of internaltional news and the truths within have been staggeringly inadequate. There is always some truth, but less than there should be. One reporter alone has much trouble providing a pruely unbiased view. One news source has the same deficiancies. The world reality is that there is very little realitty about it. The reality is, is that nobody cares about Serbia, they only care about Kosovo so long as they can get something from Kosovo. Nobody cares about anybody else if there isn't anything in it for them. The question is what is in it for the rest of the world, moreover Europe, that they anticipate in return from Kosovo? - steve111 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:52:36 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1425 My dear bluerose799, What a sand castles you are building here. I don't want to discuss your statement about freeways and free trade. I whish you all the best in achieving those goals. But, it seems to me that you are forgetting something. NATO doesn't need two hours to reach Pristina. They are already there, and they are there to stay. For a long, long time. So, if you think that Albanians would be alowed to rule Kosmet as they want to, then you are dead wrong. Second - and perhaps most dangerous Albanian misapprehension of the current situation, is that the West (US/part of EU) helped Albanian struggle against Serbia and consequently Albanian UDI, for free. If you really think they done that just because they loved you - then you are making a grave mistake. As you know, West doesn't love anyone. All their actions are motivated solely by they interest. So, if they helped you, there must be price to pay. And the price you are going to pay is very, very big and sinister. In 6 months to a year - you'll realise that, in order to "obtain control" over Kosmet - Albanians will be forced to sell their souls to Vatican. One by one. You will be forced to become, as mr. Albani Tirones beautifly described, "Catholics and Eurosexuals". http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080302689/Views-and-Analysis/The-Politics-of-Religion-in-Kosovo.html If you are willing to pay that price, then maybe (just maybe), you could get along with EU. But, if you are not willing to pay that price, and choose to fight - than you'll be faced with the forces much more powerful than Serb forces back in 1999. And that war you are ought to lose! As far as US is concerned, Albanians are just nuisance for them now. They have far more important things to do around the world, then to continue to lose time with you. Within a year, there will be no "Bondsteel" camp, and there will be no American soldiers on the ground in Kosmet. They all will be in Afganistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and N.Corea. So, you may be under the impression that time works for you, but you are mistakeing. The longer you waiver to face the truth, the bigger price you will pay. - Alexa Mon, 28 Apr 2008 23:24:41 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1423 One more year, and Pristine - Skopje freeway will be operational. One more year, and Durres - Pristine freeway will be operational too. One more year, and Kosovars will sell and buy everything they want, without any interference from outsiders. And if the Serbian will go Mad and Insane, as they did in 90’ies, then NATO with their heavy equipments will be into Pristine, in les then two hours. The time work for Kosovars, but not anymore for the Serbian. Serbia, not Kosova, is the problem in the Balkans. Since Milosevic’s fall, the EU has already provided billions of euros in aid and preferential credits; the U.S. has provided $635 million in assistance. Serbia has pocketed these incentives and provided little in return since 2003. It is time for Washington and Brussels to get smarter. While hoping that Serbia will come to its senses sooner rather than later, both need to plan for a long period in which Belgrade, aligned with Moscow, will try to block NATO and EU expansion in the Balkans. Transitional democracies in Croatia, Macedonia, Albania and Kosova will have to share the Western Balkans with a backward-looking, resentful and ill-spirited Serbia. NATO and the EU should move quickly to welcome as members those countries that are doing the right thing, in the hope that will encourage Serbia to come along. Washington and Brussels should also signal that they are determined not to give Serbia any more freebies. Ambassadors should be recalled for consultations on a new, coordinated EU/U.S. Serbia policy. The still unsigned Stabilization and Association Agreement should be taken off the table. The people, including Serbian security officials, who participated in attacking checkpoints inside Kosova should be brought to trial quickly in a Pristina courtroom, under EU supervision. - bluerose799 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:15:20 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1422 Time to Swallow! For Spanish government, media and main parties (PSOE and PP) the time to swallow is approaching. Spain must swallow the independence of Kosovo, as previously did with the independence of Montenegro and before that of the rest of new states coming into existence since 1989. His opinion is irrelevant. Of the 27 European Union states, Spain sides with the block most opposed to the recognition of Kosovo Independence. This block is also formed by the following states: Greece, Cyprus, Romania and Slovakia. All these states fear that the Kosovo precedent will impact in their domestic affairs. In the Spanish case, of course, politicians and journalists realize that Kosovo's access to independence will mark a precedent: the break up of a State Territorial Integrity , that can be useful for future cases, like Catalan one. But Spain's stand is completely marginal. No one cares about it. That's the reality Spanish politicians and media tend to ignore. They think of themselves to be the World's centerpiece. And frankly, they are not. In fact, they are far away of being the World's centerpiece of something, except, maybe, of corruption. Catalonia's Independence Movement, enthusiastically halted Kosovo accession to Freedom and Independence. Their Liberty approaches our's, even though, our political context differs so much from Kosovo's. Also, it deserves to be mentioned that Kosovo's independence was not happily accepted by a key european actor, such as Mr. Javier Solana (picture). As a Spanish politician, he is squarely opposed to Catalonia's Independence. After Montenegro's episode, where he made his best to prevent the accession to Independence of the former Yugoslavian Republic, his leadership at European level is almost inexistent. For the record. Solana's political mentor was his uncle Salvador de Madariaga. Exiled in London during the Francoist regime, Madariaga once was quoted to say that "Even though Franco's regime is bad, may be it solves in a definitive way the Catalan question". Francoist dictatorship not only banned Catalan Language and Culture, practicing a cultural extermination policy, but also assassinated thousands of Catalan Patriots, including the President of Catalonia, Mr. Lluís Companys in 1940. Mr. Companys was captured by Gestapo in the occupied France, and handed over to Francoist police. He was tortured, and submitted to a fake judicial process, condemned and assassinated by a fire squad in Barcelona's Montjuïch Castle. Mr. Lluís Companys was the only democratically elected President assassinated by Fascist regime. His trial and sentence, has not yet been declared illegal and void. Yesterday Montenegro and Kosova, Tomorrow Catalonia! - graccus41 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:52:47 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1420 @Art Yes, of course... But I too would't be surprised if Albanians embrace authonomy within Serbia. Especially when they realise West doesn't love them... And that there will be a very big price to pay for the West's help. And that will happen very soon - as one of the commentators, mr. Albani Tirones said: "The game is over my dear. Now is paying time." - Alexa Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:16:01 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1419 Author wrote: "Taking this position, the Spanish Government would join the majority of its closest allies, which have already recognized Kosovo: namely, more than two thirds of EU members, including the biggest defenders of international law such as Holland or Scandinavian countries, three forth of NATO members or OECD, and 20 of the 25 best performing countries in the Democracy Index created by The Economist, including those who for domestic reasons, are similarly sensitive to this issues such as Canada, Belgium or the United Kingdom. Thus, such a decision would also ease things for two key neighbors, Macedonia and Montenegro, and could reinforce the position of Spain and its influence in the EU by taking a stand with regard to the Balkans as showing Spanish foreign policy is capable of dealing with this complexity, while opening a path to recognition by other states which are still reticent, especially in Latin America and the Arab world." When you add all maybe and should's little over 30 countries recognized Kosovo. It is very small number. sorry... - Drax Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:17:24 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1416 Why should Spain recognise Kosovo? They have a right to choose which country to recognise and have diplomatic relations with and who not to and the fact is that Kosovo has been founded on an extremely dodgy legal basis. The Czech Republic and Slovakia don't recognise Lichtenstein which has been a "country" far longer than Kosovo has. - hrb Sun, 27 Apr 2008 20:19:48 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1399 Farewell Kosovo. Hello Kosova. While the world community was moving toward the democracy (events in 90’ies), only two nations tried to turn the “Wheel of History Backward”. Those two nations were Serbia and Iraq. The explanation for their actions has only two words, Madness and Insanity. From this disease suffered Germans during the Nazis and the result is very well known. Damages to their neighbors and destruction to their self. All of these three nations arrived at this point, after the governments succeeded in brainwashing their Nation’s People. There is a parallel between Geman Nazis actions against Jews, and Serbian (Serbo-Centrist and Serbo-Chauvinists) actions against Croatia, Bosnia and Kosova. Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda was an important factor - perhaps even the key psychological factor - in convincing the perpetrators that they were doing something "good" for German society by killing Jews. Serbo-Centrist and Serbo-Chauvinist propaganda, was an important factor - perhaps even the key psychological factor - in convincing the perpetrators that they were doing something "good" for Serbian society by killing Croatian, Bosnian and Kosovars. The duty of German police was to protect the innocent, but it was then of the conviction that the Jews were not innocent but guilty. The propaganda that all Jews were criminals and subhuman and that they were the cause of Germany's decline after the First World War, brainwashed German People, and most of them participated in the extermination of the Jews. The duty of Serbian police was to protect the innocent, but it was then of the conviction that the Croats, Bosnian and Kosovars were not innocent but guilty. The propaganda that all those people were criminals and subhuman and that they were the cause of Serbia decline, after the Collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet/Communist Control System, brainwashed Serbian People, and most of them participated in the extermination of the Croatians, Bosnians and Kosovars. The Independence of Kosova is a Reality. The actions of the Serbia and Serbians convince everybody that they are determined to go in the same course. They are unable to change course, unable to produce positive results, and they are going to be in trouble ... Serbia has a terrible record of protecting the rights of minorities, this is well known. The day when Serbs will be able to visit Srebrenica in Bosnia, or Kosova with their kids just as Germans visit today Auschwitz, only then peace will come in this troubled region and the Serbian nation will move forward. - bluerose799 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 16:15:47 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1396 To Strav Stop using silly arguments: The UN Charter, chapter VII, sanctions use of force of a country against its own citizens-(which Serbia did) Serbia abolished the autonomy of 1974 against its own constitution. Serbia made the last constitutional changes (after 2000) against its own laws. Which Helsinki act stopped Bangladesh from getting it's independence. All their slav cousins could not live with them. And don't come back to me with that - you stole serbian land crap - that you have been fed with by your academy of science. Why in the world would Albanians live with them after all the crimes committed upon them in the past 100 years. There is no way that they will. NEVER - EVER. Get that! - rosebud Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:46:39 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1394 Serbs talk about resolution 1244, international law, sovereignty and they keep going on, I say OOO my GOD. Since when have you people ever, ever respected international law, since when have you ever respected any other opinion then your own, since when have you ever cooperated in catching the war criminals who have committed crimes against humanity, against human values…..the list can go on. I bet not even a small percentage know the real meaning of a resolution…. Spain will recognize together with Cyprus and Greece in time, when time is ready, Spain is definitely no allied of Serbia, if Greece is to some point, but even Greece has noticed that the real destabilizing factor of the Balkans is Serbia and has always been. So for the love of God and for the sake of the truth, civilize your selves, have your politicians stand up at the general assembly in New York and use that opportunity to apologize to the Albanian people for the rape, murder and plunder under a time of a century and then try to help the population of Kosovo to build up the new democratic nation, not because you are in any way more civilized or better in any way, but because you owe the Kosovo community at least that much.

It would be hard to prove a UDI is an illegal act as there are many countries who historically started out with this framework to become independent nations, therefore it is not a precedent in any way, so Mr Jeremic is leading Serbia down a merry path as he won't consider suing individual states as that would damage EU relations with the EU states that have recognised Kosova and looks like all he will find at the end of the road is a big sign saying catch 22, in other words he is dammed is he does and dammed if he doesn't. - JJ Sat, 26 Apr 2008 07:03:03 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1389 To Rosebud Democracy has nothing to do with this, but theft has everything to do with this. Too bad if your sick and tired of the truth. The Helsinki act in itself guarantees the borders of Serbia, so having said that any UDI IS ILLEGAL. How difficult is that to understand. If you cannot get an agreement out of Serbia, then their is no legitimate deal. Unilateral declerations don't count. If they did, then it wouldn't be so imperitive to have Spains vote, now would it. - strav Sat, 26 Apr 2008 06:51:15 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1388 Yes Alexa, reality is always in motion thus I wouldn't be surprised if in the future Serbia embraces Kosovo's independence. - Art Sat, 26 Apr 2008 06:47:52 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1382 The point is that Serbs touched at the very basis of International Law by killing and raping their own people (at least legally their own people). You can't expect receive proper treat from those who are ruled by the law, precisely that law you breached. There's a hierarchy in International Law, human rights are above all. - Party time Fri, 25 Apr 2008 17:21:33 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1380 Spain won’t do to the Basque People, what Serbians did to Kosovars and are determined to do it again. Yugoslavia was not Serbia. Serbia is not Yugoslavia. (1974) - Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of 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”. All 6 Republics of the Federate of Yugoslavia recognized this new Status of Kosova. 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. The UN Resolution 1244 does not give any right to Serbia over the Kosova. http://www.nato.int/kosovo/docu/u990610a.htm In the contrary point Nr10, and point Nr5 of the Annex Nr 2, gave to Kosova “Substantial autonomy, and which will provide transitional administration while establishing and overseeing the development of provisional democratic self-governing institutions to ensure conditions for a peaceful and normal life for all inhabitants of Kosovo”. That means Recognized the Status given to Kosova by constitution of Federal Yugoslavia on 1974. But not under Serbia, in the resolution 1244 is stipulated “within the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia”. “In 1974 constitution the Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo’s government received more powers, including the highest governmental titles – President and Prime Minister and a seat in the Federal Presidency, which made it a de facto Republic. 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. The Autonomous Province of Basque in Spain is similar with the Autonomous province of Vojvodina in Serbia but not with Kosova. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_language Out of a total of nearly 3,000,000 Basques, it is estimated that some 632,000 are Basque language speakers, of which approximately 566,000 live in the Spanish Basque country, with the rest residing in the French part of it. Recognizing the independence of Kosova, the Spanish government has nothing to lose but too much to gain. With this act the Spanish government can tell the world that they are a democratic nation, and very mature to understand the difference between Kosova and Basque Province, and the similarity between Vojvodina and the Basque Province. If 90 % or 2,700,000 Basques will be Basque language Speaker, this province Would be different. The Spain people with their culture and traditions never will do to them what Serbian did to Kosovar people and are very determined to kill again. Thank You Spain. - bluerose799 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:40:45 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1379 @ Strav I am so sick and tired of this "UDI is illegitimate" nonsense. Show me one international law that prohibits such a thing and then another one that prohibits the recognition of the DI by other countries. This argument which is being used over and over again is very stupid. Do check the history of Bangladesh and its UDI, morons. Kosovo is gone. Spain will not recognize because it is not a true democracy. Why else would they wait. To most of the countries within EU, which did not recognized yet, applies the "He who is free of sins shall through a stone". - rosebud Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:16:07 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080425905/Views-and-Analysis/Spain-should-recognize-Kosovo.html#comment-1375 Everybody is talking about "Reality". But anybody who talks about "reality" must know that "reality" is not permanent but ever-changing category! Let me just remind you - back in 1939. Hitler was "reality". Also, Vietnam was "reality" in 1968! Even Yugoslavia was REALITY back in 1990! Albanian UDI is reality NOW!
