Crow, please answer my question on Kosovo. Isn't it more efficient for Serbs to admit the independence of a part of Kosovo?
Sorry man, for you need to wait for my answers so long but these days I’m very busy. I apologies to others too with whom I communicate hire.
In case with your comment on partition of Kosovo, I must say that I am against it, for several reasons.
First, we speak about two regions. Kosovo and Metohija- that’s the full name of Serbian Southern province.
Then,... it is Albanians who need to learn to live in tolerance, Serbs are OK- especially if we consider extraordinary pressure on Serbs in last 15 years. Albanian extreme Islamic approach and their necessity to resist to existence of Christian state in the region (in last 100 years- since Turks were expelled out of K&M).
...K&M together with Raska (read Ras/Rashka, BDW region from where Racowie came to Poland - when our brothers needed them because of Teutonic pressure) are centers of Serbian spirituality/our unique way of St. Savas Orthodoxy and statehood. Loss of any of these regions would affect fundaments of Serbian national being (which is already seriously wounded) with permanent consequences for stability of the region on the long run.
...K&M is legally part of Serbia and if Serbia doesn’t give up from Kosovo, there is no chance that anybody takes that territory from us, legally (!).
…K&M are regions full with great amount of rare and very expensive natural resources, including: uranium, gold, silver, Cu, Al, Fe, coal, etc. Any serious state would by all possible means defend such enormous reserves of valuable resources of great economic importance.
...before Turks- Albanians practically didn’t even exist on Kosovo. They came with Turkish occupation and Serbs allowed them to stay after Serbs liberate from Turks. But, ethic balance between Serbs and Albanians was destroyed (on the behalf of Albanians) in WWII, when Albanians together with Italian occupational forces pushed many Serbs out of K&M and many more of them was settled on K&M from Albania. Also, many Albanians came illegally from Albania during communist dictature in Albania/Yugoslavia. Standard of living in Yugoslavia/Serbia was much batter then in Albania and it was given shelter to many Albanians. Majority of them never didn’t become Serbian citizens. No matter Serbian hospitality, majority of those new-coming Albanians was hostile and started violantly and with criminal actions to push Serbs out of K&M. Authorities of socialist Yugoslavia had many probolems with them but, never were capable to deal with problem. I must also say that almost 500.000 Albanians (citizens of Albanian state which never before lived on K&M or anywhere in Serbia) came illegaly from Albania after NATO occupation of Serbian Suthern province- Kosovo & Metohija. In the same time, Serbs were ethnicaly cleansed from K&M (same as from Dalmatia, Slavonia, Krajina, Baranja- already before).
So, I would support that Serbian citizens of Albanian ethnicity stay in Serbia/K&M with all posible rights- same as all K&M/Serbian citizens (no more no less) and that they learn to live side by side with Serbs/other ethnic groups. To those Albanians which aren`t Serbian citizens I would suggest that they return to Albania, especialy to those who rebelled against Serbian state.
