		<description>Ruben,
You have no clue what you are talking about. 1912-13?? The Serbs came to the Balkans in the 7th century and had one of Europe's most prosperous kingdoms until the famoust battle of Kosovo Polje in 1389 against the Muslims of the Ottoman Empire. Hey, did you hear me??? The 7th century, man! And you talk about 1912-13?? You are ignorant on Serbian history. You read a NY Times article and now you are an "expert" on Serbia. Yes, Kosovo is Serbia's holy land! I've been there in the 80s. I saw first hand the beauty and grandeur of Serbia's Orthodox monasteries and churches. Just go to Youtube and type in Kosovo-Serbia monasteries. I know where my family comes from. I know Serbia's history. Did you know that Serbia fought on the Allied side in both world wars?? Do you know what side the Albanians fought on? Yes, they fought on the Nazi side. You disgust me with your "knowledge" of Serbian history. It is even more disgusting that with your first name (if that is your real name) you would side with the Muslim jihadists. Yes, the so called Kosovo Liberation Army is a direct branch of the Al-Qaida. Next time you have the audacity to "discuss" Serbia's history, you better get educated before you spread ignorance on this web site.</description>

		<description>A little known fact: that Ahtisaari was bribed by Kosovo mafia to gain them 'independence'

Far More Than “Shadows” — Gregory Copley: Ahtisaari’s Corruption Confirmed Beyond Doubt
In July 14 exclusive interview with Belgrade daily Vecernje novosti, the President of the International Strategic Studies Association Gregory Copley confirmed that everything published about Martti Ahtisaari being bribed by the Albanian mafia to propose independence for southern Serbian Kosovo province is correct.
“We have been investigating a number of corruption cases in the Balkans during the past 15 years. We have received a lot of information and heard rumors about corruption in the Martti Ahtisaari’s office, but we waited until we heard for the article published by the Banja Luka daily Fokus. That’s when we started our own investigation. Talking with the number of our sources, we confirmed that German Intelligence Service BND has indeed put this report together. Our report is created for the governments which are the only ones using the Global Information System. As far as I understand, it was leaked to the media,” said Copley.
Ahtisaari’s Anti-Serbian Bias Evident from the Start
QUESTION: Is the information about Ahtisaari being bribed reliable?
MR. COPLEY: First of all, we have seen the BND report. We then inquired with our sources if we can get an independent confirmation about the Ahtisaari corruption. Few intelligence sources from different states involved in Kosovo process were either suspecting or had evidence about Ahtisaari’s involvement with Albanian organized crime.
QUESTION: How long were you on Ahtisaari’s trail?
MR. COPLEY: We have been observing him ever since he was appointed a UN special envoy for Kosovo status, because we knew he came to that post after working for the International Crisis Group, established by the financier George Soros. We also knew that Soros, as well as the ICG, is firmly backing the independence of Kosovo province. This meant that Ahtisaari obviously wasn’t an impartial person for this position.
GIS Balkan Findings Considerably Different from the Picture Media Painted
QUESTION: Has any particular government ordered the investigation of the Ahtisaari case?
MR. COPLEY: Our association conducts independent investigations. We do not work for any particular government and that is why many governments trust our neutrality. We have conducted a large number of investigations pertaining to the Balkan events, the results of which were considerably different from the picture created by the media. This has made some of the governments skeptical, but most of them have now arrived at the position that our reports have been confirmed over time.
QUESTION: In your experience, how much could a revelation such as this one influence the concrete politics?
MR. COPLEY: We’ve had many requests for confirmation and for further information by the large number of governments and international organizations overseeing the Kosovo process.
QUESTION: From the Serbian Government?
MR. COPLEY: Not from the Serbian Government.
QUESTION: From the American Administration?
MR. COPLEY: All I’m going to say is — not from the Serbian Government, but from the large number of governments and the international organizations.
U.S. State Department Acts Like the Albanian Terrorists’ Agent
QUESTION: What do you expect now?
MR. COPLEY: We expect the United Nations to evaluate Ahtisaari’s position. Unfortunately, it seems that the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon lacks the guts to acknowledge the situation created by the [Albanian terrorist] KLA threats of renewed violence. I am disappointed with the fact that the new UN Secretary General has no courage to clean his own backyard. This shows that there is a lot of corruption within the UN that also existed during the Ban Ki-moon’s predecessor.
QUESTION: According to the Fokus article, it was the UN Secretary General that requested the investigation of Ahtisaari’s corruption?
MR. COPLEY: Soon after he requested the investigation, he demanded quick resolution of Kosovo issue and he failed to undertake clear steps to suspend Ahtisaari, or to examine his work. He was obviously shocked by the initial accusations, which German intelligence confirmed beyond any doubts. But it should also be taken into consideration that Ki-moon is right now under enormous pressure — not just from the KLA which threatens the entire region with violence, but from the U.S. State Department which acts like the KLA agent in promoting Kosovo independence.

		<description>Serbia's holy land? In 21st century people are still talking about holy land. 

What I see in Kosovo is a territory that was occupied in 1912-13, by the Serbian military with the help of the Russians and the blessing of Europe. Read The New York Times of Dec 31, 1912 for the horrible massacres against the Albanian population in Kosovo.

For more than 90 years the Serbs tried to colonize the territory and treated Albanians as second class citizens.

Well, now they cannot do it anymore. The nation of Kosova is free and independent. The Serbs should bow their heads in shame for the massacres of the years 1998-99. Smart idea to move 800 bodies all the way from Kosovo to the suburbes of Belgrade. What did the Serbs do when this shameful act was discovered. Nothing. No regret, no public apology. Today, instead of bowing their heads with shame they still claim a territory they treated in ways Europe had not seen for at least 50 years.</description>

		<description>Rasid and Adnan, let Professor Leupp's article on KOSOVO (it was not about Bosnia) shed some light on the truth behind the blatant theft of Serbian holy land. If you want to rant about the war in Bosnia, go to another forum and cry all you want about the "wicked" Serbs. Republika Srpska is Serbia! Kosovo is Serbia! Bravo, Professor Leupp on your efforts to educate the ignorant masses about the truth on SERBIA'S KOSOVO!</description>

		<description>As Rasid said, no Serbia was not watching others go, but it was using so called Yugoslavia's Army and paramilitary gangs to impose Milosevic's dictatorship over rest of the country. The army was only by the name Yugoslavia's, since most of the officers were Serbs, and soldiers were conscripts forced to fight Milosevic's wars.

Gary why do you always skip 3 wars of aggression started by Milosevic (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia &#38; Hercegovina), and concentrate only on forth? Your scientific method resembles one used by the theory of Intelligent design, pick facts you like, disregard everything else, and hoopla Eureka I discovered warm water.
I pity your students, if you have any.</description>

		<description>Excellent article, thank you. More wisdom and knowledge is what is needed. USA used to have excellent diplomacy in history. Now, it is all let's get pragmatic and participative, but I rule. The message they send to Serbia is: we say one third of your country should become independant, it will never be Serbia again, we say you will be responsible for any future attacks to our embassy, but hey we are your friends. Is there any logic in this message? From the Serbian view, this is not nobody loses situation, it is the opposite.</description>

belgrade should have sued the usa in the world court for crimes against humanities...
"If you wake up in the morning and you have no power to your house and no gas to your stove and the bridge you take to work is down and will be lying in the Danube for the next 20 years, I think you begin to ask, 'Hey, Slobo, what's this all about? How much more of this do we have to withstand?"

		<description>Good commentary!
The fact is that the USA is destabilizing the entire world, especially antagonizing the Russians. This seems to be the ultimate goal of the West, to destroy Russia, a move that will eventually turn the world into a smoldering cinder.
Rice certanly is a total idiot, scolding the Serbs for the burning of the US embassy. I certainly would have reacted the same if, say California was handed over to the Mexicans (which is not far off).
Bush is the most incompetent leader since Nero. His failure to play fair and sensible has not only turned the world against him (and the USA), but also the American people.</description>

		<description>Excellent article and very factual. The author has a complete grasp of what has been and what is now going on in the  Balkans. I applaud this article. Sheds a much needed calm report on the recent  events in the area.  I tire of hearing  crude and ignorant rants from people who do not have any expertise or credentials  in the study of History.</description>

		<description>Bear in mind that, in fact, the present situation actually suits everybody! The Kosovo Albanians get to declare their independence but don't actually have to govern their state. The Serbs get rid of Kosovo without having to concede anything.  The EU avoids having to admit one or more new Member States while the Treaty of Lisbon is still being ratified. Russia has asserted itself as a major player on the European scene and down the road, Kosovo will serve as an excuse to explain the loss of Chechnya, Dagestan and points East. NATO has an excuse to bring its troops home from Afghanistan and the US has Kosovo as an excuse to explain away the latter event. 

A typically European solution! A package with something in it for everyone. Nobody loses!</description>

		<description>Serbia didn't "watch Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Macedonia secede". Remember those tanks and paramilitary pouring across Drina River to Bosnia? Remember Vojislav Kostunica, current Serbian PM, on the hills surrounding Sarajevo, with a Kalashnikov in his hands? Remember Srebrenica, perhaps? Don't blame others for Serbia's wrong moves, which resulted with the country compared to Nokia today: getting smaller every day.</description>
