Is Serbia playing hardball on the Kosovo issue so it can secure economic aid?

Question

What I mean is like the North Korea situation countries in dire need of economic assisstance threaten armageddon in some desparate way so the they can extort the needed aid. I heard some Serbian politician saying that they(Serbia) sunk in big money into developing Kosovo. So I'm thinking this is typical communist M.O. threaten a crisis or war and then negotiate so you have leverage. What kills me is that the Serbian scurvy crew here on answers truly think Serbia wants Kosovo, or it is valued for its historical importance, it is not it is only being used as leverage. Mark my words the deal is already been put in place.

Canine I gave you a thumbs up because I get your overall point but your historical facts are a little confused,

1.The Area was roamed by ancient Illyrians and when the Romans conquered the area illyrian became a Roman province.

2. Slav entered the Balkans in the 6th century A.D. and the area was part of Czar Somoil empire this is where all the Slavic names of cities and villages stem from, once his empire collapsed it come under limited Serb control.

3. The area was scarcely popullated by Serbs and Albanians whom united for a common cause (christianity) and both fought the Ottoman's as they fell and the area came under Ottoman control.

4. When Serbia was granted Independence in 1878 by treaty of Berlin, Kosovo was not part of it because it not deemed Serbia because of a large Albanian element.

5. When the Ottoman empire collapsed at the time it was called " The Dying Old Man" by the European powers in 1912 and during the balkan wars of 1912 and 1913 Kingdom of the

founded and it included all of Yugoslavia that broke up in 1991. This new country contain almost as much Albanians as Albania proper but the Albanians were to weak to do anything about it and Europe wanted them punished and saw them as Ottoman collabrators. So they condoned Yugoslavia's thievery of Albanian lands.

6. During WWII the Italians united Albanian speaking lands so they can be governed easier. A lot of Albanians support this but a lot also fought them together with other partisans of different nationalities.

7. When WWII ended again the Albanians were force to live under a new Yugoslavia and they had the roughest time with being treated as second class citizens and in 1987 when Milosevic stripped Kosovo of it autonomy that was the straw that broke the camels back.

8. In 1998 Milosevic sought a final solution to the Albanian problem, by illegally evicting more than 60% of the popullation by force and threats of violence. His plans failed.

What up Rade? What are going to dress for a Halloween? A Chetnik! LOL,LOL,LOL.

Roxy I see your is hate is deeply rooted
Yugoslavia had only 44% of it's popullation that lived in urban areas and more than half lived in villages so you saw a lot of Serb, Macedonian, Bosnian, Croat and Albanian women riding in donkeys and lets not forget that the biggest import coming out slavic states is women, notably Russia, a great number of European porn stars are of Slavic background. Hmmm I wonder who is worse at treating women as a subhuman objects us whom had I'd say a history of being a little on the rough side or you guys that sell them for money? Anyway how can you be generous to someone if your the one who come into their home? You Slavs came from behind the Carpathian mountains and how were you generous to the Albanians? It is a known fact when a group is trying to dominate another and has it's foot on their throat, it will not say its doing for its own benefit, but for the victims.

PS. No such thing as Albanians whom are a afraid of the truth, or to speak. You will find that out when the end result of the vote will come in. Can YOU SAY L-A-N-D-S-L-I-D-E?

Answer 1

Hell, No!!!!! Us Serbians are brave people. We do not care for such namby pampy things like a good economy, decent living conditions, or peace!!!!! That is for losers.
It is is better for every Serbian to die than for Kosovar Albanians not to be occupied by us.

A true Serb like me likes to be a victim. 1389 is a glorious date. Soon we will have another glorious date to celebrate, yipee!!!

Answer 2

Kosovo has been a part of Serbia since they took it from Bulgaria in the second Balkans War some 80 or so years ago. Prior to the Slav migrations it was Macedonian territory until the Romans took it from them. The Romans lost the area to the Bulgarian Slav migrations and the boundaries would change as Byzantium's (Eastern Roman Empire) power increased/decreased. In the Middle Ages, a small Serbian Empire existed for a short time that controlled the area and finally it was conquered by the Ottoman Turks until their empire dissolved after WWI. Since it has been a part of modern Serbia since their recognition and there are several holy sites there, they simply do not want it to be independent, just as they did not want Bosnia, Croatia, etc to be independent (Yugoslavia was basically a Serbian empire). Most empires (with the full consent of their base people) resist breaking up (think Ireland/England) and the Serbs are no different. It's a done deal, however; just the details need to be ironed out. They are too weak to stop the world arbitrators from doing so - some things will never change.

Answer 3

Its all full of Albanians now like the rest of europe muslims are spreading everywhere

Answer 4

BE AWARE: the user above me is Nr 1 Albanian propagandist Vetëvendosje! , that changed name and profile ( by the time this question goes for voting he will delete his answer and mine will be "in the air" as usual) and pretending being Serb : have a look in his previous q/a

Answer 5

I wonder where you found these history resources. Some Albanian propaganda booklet? Written instructions by your Albanian headquarters?
There are so many books and even sites about real History, get some knowledge and then come back.
Until then, stop with these fairytales.

Answer 6

Serbians are just defending their rights on a serbian territory. Kosovo has been for ages a territory populated by Serbians and belonging to Serbians, and their's history and their monuments (at least what the Albanians have left untouched) to testify this.
Kosovo has been the victim territory of Albanian imperialism, as Albanians immigrated there gradually, multiplied themselves and then started to press Serbians for minority rights.
This has been always the expansion policy of Albanians, who, as people are not creative but only ready to get hold of what belongs to the others.
And that's what they are doing in Greece and shortly in Italy too. Not to mention "Macedonia".
And that's exactly what they did in Northern Epirus, a territory populated by Greeks, who were forced to leave their homeland because of oppression and violation of their human rights. Finally Albanians achieved their goal: They got hold of what Greeks possessed.
There are minorities of other neighbouring nations in all European countries, but nobody claimed that these territories be autonomous for the minorities sake: In France (Alcace) in Italy (Alto Adige), etc.
Only Albanians' greed can raise such claims.

Serbians are not extorting anybody for Kosovo. They simply claim their rights to the crudle of their history and civilisation, and the human rights of Serbians who are forced to immigrate from their father's land because of Albanian crimes against them (Genocide).
But for the U.N. it seems that only Bosnians and Albanians had and still have human rights, while the international community denies any such rights to Serbians.
Kosovo is and must remain Serbian.
