I just hope the rest of the Poles have more backbone than this! I can't believe Poland to be that helpless (especially without the rear threat from Germany). Is this the Polish tradition to either butcher the bottom of any invader or if fail, make it die of excrutiating indigestion???

These are things that were not reported by the "unbiased" CNN, BBC. After the fall of Srebrenica I saw a video cassete of Al-Qaeda terrorists playing football with Serbian heads, that was recovered from the site by the Bosnian Serb army.

Bosnian Muslims with Mujaheedin fighters from the Middle East in their ranks, controlled Srebrenica from 1992 - 1995 and during that time killed 3,870 Serbian civillians in the town and surrounding villages mostly elderly men, women and young children.

NO

Their general Naser Orić who was the most responsible as a commanding officer for mass murder of Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats was sentenced to 2 years in prison at the Hague Tribunal, which is a complete travesty of justice. If I robbed a convenience store in London I would have received a higher penalty.

When the Bosnian Serb army liberated Srebrenica in 1995 and found out what had happened to their relatives, they showned no mercy, and who can blame them for pulling the trigger? At least they had the decency to ship off women and children in buses, while they executed along with the terrorists men of fighting age whom they presumed were involved in these atrocities. The Bosnian Serb general Krstić received a sentence of 46 years in prison by that same Hague Tribunal.

RK

This man Radovan Karadžić for me is a hero and not a war criminal, the Bosnian Serbs will never forget that he saved them from the fate that is now experienced by Kosovo Serbs. This is why they will never surrender him to NATO despite being offered 5 million US $ for his capture. Thanks to him the only thing El Mujahedeen Unit is doing right now is fertilizing the earth on which they once stood.



To the obvious dissapointment of their supporters and sponsors, who armed and trained them and financially backed them.

Both sides are sick and have done horrible things. Both try and justify it and both fail. If Serbs think because they are white slavs they are superior and justified then they are as insane as those they hate.

SOOOOOOO glad I don't have to live in such a nasty place.

Yes living in the place where Columbine, Virgina Tech, Illinois shootings where students empty a charger or two at other faculty members, teachers, fellow classmates, are becoming a common occurance, it sure seems like paradise. Not to mention that you constantly have to look over your shoulder when entering an airplane or the metro.

A country that illegally invaded Iraq, killed its legally elected president, sons, grandsons, and caused 1 million deaths. Based on false accusations that Saddam had links with Al-Qaeda and weapons of mass distruction. Any luck finding them? A country which is even as we speak preparing to invade Iran.

So you can get off your high horse because all these wars were planned and executed in your own country.

What??? Who said the yanks are invading and NEED to get through some mountains?

And let's say they did...there are these things called AIRPLANES that work on magical dragon's breath and float through the air bypassing your mountains. Welcome to the modern age.

Serbia's military couldn't even GET to the US let alone manage the varied and vast terrain there. So let's not be silly comparing sword sizes.

Uh...no...that never happened. The only US planes shot down in Serbia were by missiles. Good try making things up though.

But I AM curious though...let's say that fantasy of yours happened (which is pretty much impossible for such a tiny round to take down a jet..especially at the altitudes they operate which an AK couldn't reach...and if you believe it is possible you need to study ballistics) but let's just say it did in some imaginary world....so what? Do you think downing on or two planes out of hundreds of planes and thousands of missions is success? Wow....I guess if you get one punch into a guy who kicks your ass into the ground you think you have won.

USA is genocidal creation, born from blood and tears of native Americans.

So, no wonder that USA supported Mujaheedine genocide on Serbs- natives of Balkan. By US logic, world will be batter when enough foreign invaders massacred enough natives.

Then, true `multiciulturalism` will be born. That is American mission.

What chances have Poland (even Russia) if alone to survive in Germano-Anglo-Saxon world. Numerous Poles would emigrate out of Poland, on their place would come foreigners.


Look, you can see the parallels of Poland, Ireland and Spain not only have survived well against the so-called "Germano-Anglo-Saxon" world, they can even prosper and attract back many of their old emigrants. Now, what is more, the Celtic melancholy and Spanish sex drive are such inseparable posing kits of fashionistas around the world, particularly those very Germano-Anglo-Saxons! Who know in the next 20 years, Polish styles will be conquering the world in turn (hm, I will make sure at that time I completely monopolise camouflage trousers!)

Anyway, to be slightly more serious, I think the EU have made a pretty wrong move concerning Kosovo. It should have accepted Serbia (and the rest of FYRs) to be its members immediately and then only allowed Kovoso secession poll to take place after 10 years when Serbia has fully recovered from the trauma and devastation of the last wars. In that case there would be high chance that Serbia would be able to retain Kosovo through the poll due to, firstly there should be significant amount of enterprising Serbs, if not moving to Britain, would move to the under-developed, heavily-invested land of Kosovo; and secondly, ethnic Albanians and Serbs would improve their relations thanks to the new dynamism of the economy. Even if the Kosovans would want to secede, this might leave the future Serbians no more bitterness than the English or the Walloons when the Scots or Flemish decide to break away (Possibly they are too busy thinking themselves as Europeans to really care!)

But unfortunately, impatience, arrogance (those vile Serbs had better accept it or else), greed (we don't wanna support those lousy Serbs right now!) and double-standard stance (the Turks can kick the Kurds' arse as long as we dont have to pay for their legs' insurance and numerous other examples) of the US and major EU countries completely make the mess of the situation. With all neutrality, I can say Serbia is completely cornered (especially from the psychological point of view). There is no way to expect Serbia to be a normal country unless the US and the EU are ready for a heavy compensation. If greed still triumphs, just expect a US president to be assassinated by a Serb on the 28th June 2014...

West East

Serbia along with other ex-YU republics recognized that USSR was evil and here is the best proof that we do not follow Russia blindly. The only country in East Europe that resisted Stalin and said no to him was Yugoslavia. Not with NATO not with USSR, with a policy of non-alignment. Tito dedicated alot of his time building up the army because we feared an imminent Soviet invasion as we were surrounded by Soviet satellite states. The question which should be asked is why did Americans and British sell out Poland to the communists?

Serbia definitely isn`t alone and with every new day becoming clear that Poland made serious mistake being first Slavic country which recognized Kosovo separation, supporting partition of Serbia. Polish diplomacy with PM Tusk seams made extraordinary blow in Polish position inside of Slavic world, clearly puting Poland on the side of hostile non-Slavs. Question is why and who orchestrate that dirrectin of Poland? Poles? No, because it seams that Polish public oppose Kosovo separation and support just Serbian position? Then, who decided for Poland, or mistaken?

Slovakia not to recognize Kosovo

2008-02-25 01:05:57
http://www.enovosti.info/en/option/btg_news/0/39/Slovakia/not/to/recog nize/Kosovo

Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico warned yesterday that ‘by recognition of Kosovo the international law would be violated’.
‘If this rough mistake in the international law is not corrected, we cannot proceed with recognition of Kosovo since we reject unilateral proclamation’, he said.

NOTE: Clear indications of aressive Hungarian politics on Slavic countries in the region...

Slovaks divided on Kosovo

MFA says Slovakia cannot recognise Kosovo at this point

SLOVAK SPECTATOR, 25 Feb 2008 Ľuba Lesná Politics & Society
http://www.spectator.sk/articles/view/30829/2/slovaks_divided_on_kosov o.html

SLOVAKIA's politicians are divided on Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia on February 17.

The only political party that has unequivocally recognised it is the Hungarian Coalition Party (SMK). Other politicians have voiced concern that Kosovo's independence could serve as a precedent for the 521,000-strong Hungarian minority in Slovakia.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence was a mistake that could worsen tensions.

Ambassador: Klaus ready to visit Serbia soon

PRAGUE DAILY MONITOR, by ČTK / Published 27 February 2008
http://www.praguemonitor.com/en/282/czech_politics/19242/

Prague, Feb 26 (CTK) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus is prepared to visit Serbia in the near future and thus accept an invitation that his Serbian counterpart Boris Tadic extended to him during his visit to the Czech Republic last year, new Czech Ambassador to Serbia Hana Hubackova told CTK after a meeting with Klaus Tuesday.

Prague is interested in good relations with Belgrade, he said.

According to Hubackova, Serbia is one of the largest recipients of development aid that the Czech Republic provides to other countries.

The leadership of the junior government Christian Democrats (KDU-CSL) Tuesday described its position on the recognition of independent Kosovo as "noticeably non-accommodating."

"We are rather inclined towards not recognising it," KDU-CSL chairman Jiri Cunek said.

The independence of Kosovo has been recognised, for instance, by the United States, Germany, France and Britain, while Russia, China and Slovakia oppose it.

BUENOS AIRES -- Argentina will not recognize Priština’s unilateral independence declaration.

Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said in Buenos Aires on Friday that it would represent a dangerous precedent in international law, which is not in Argentina's national interest.

Argentina will not recognize Kosovo as an independent state as long as the issue of the Falkland Islands remains unresolved, Taiana underlined in an interview for the Friday issue of Buenos Aires daily Clarin.

Thank you very much for reminding me on this issue

Yes, feelings of Polish-Serbian connections always boosted Serbian emotions.

This song came in situation when Serbs blamed Albanian (and some Yugoslav, too) communists for tragic Serbian situation on Kosovo-Metohija (back in that time Serbs were oppresed by Albanians and Yugoslav communists allowed that Albanian refuges from Albania populate on Kosovo and in the same time forbid return of Kosovo Serbs who escaped from Kosovo during Italian occupation of province in WWII- `for the peace in communist house`).

So, Serbs were solidar with Poles and arised their heads to protest against Albanian pressure, on traditional Serbian ground. Albanian communist leaders from Kosovo and Albanian population then reacted with increased pressure on Serbs, all in order to push as much of Serbs from province.

If we analize statements of Polish diplomats we clearly see that official Poland practicaly announced to Serbia that Poland had its `own interests` in the region (on Serbian ground!) and that Poland plans to continue to interfere in Serbian internal affairs. I must say, that is something absolutely new in Polish-Serbian relationship thru history- dramatical agravation of relations. Poland now coming in the region as some foreign power, which `evolved` and abandened principles of Slavic solidarity.

We now see why Polish public received false informations about events in the region all these years and why Polish journalism failed. In fact, Polish journlism didn`t failed but, somebody, obviously outside and inside of Poland orchestrate Polish strategic moves, increasing (creating even where never existed!) rift between Poland and rest of Slavic world. Think about it

Poland Receives Protest Note from Serbia over Kosovo

2008-02-29 00:50:32, Xinhua
http://english.cri.cn/2947/2008/02/29/176@328228.htm

Charge d'affaires of Serbia Nikola Zurovac has handed to the Polish Foreign Ministry a diplomatic note in protest at the Polish government's decision to recognize Kosovo's independence from Serbia, Polish news agency PAP reported on Thursday.

Poland expected such a note, deputy Foreign Minister Jan Borkowski said and stressed that Serbia was Poland's significant partner.

"This decision has not limited Poland's influence on the situation in the Balkans. On the contrary we are consolidating our position in the EU as one of the countries which will be implementing EU's policy towards Kosovo and other Balkan countries, " he stressed.

On Tuesday the Polish government recognized Kosovo's independence. Kosovo adopted a declaration of independence from Serbia on Feb. 17.

Serbia officials declare that Serbia considers the southern province of Kosovo a part of the country and that there will never be a recognized state of Kosovo in the Balkans.


In the same time, Polish public support kin Serbian nation... [see, new web site on the Pan-Slavic sky]

Lukashenko : Belarus strongly supports Serbia

BELARUS, February 28, 2008
http://glassrbije.org/E/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1747 &Itemid=26

Belarus President Aleksandar Lukashenko sent a message to his Serbian counterpart Boris Tadic emphasizing that authorities in Minsk strongly support Serbia in its battle for preservation of sovereignty and territorial integrity. Quoting that authorities in Minsk reacted with great concern over proclamation of independent Kosmet, Lukashenko pointed that recognition of this illegal act by some western countries clearly shows the extent of allegedly friendly intentions of the West towards Serbia. Implementation of double standards in such a sensitive case is intolerable and might have unforeseeable consequences – warned Lukashenko. He stated that the crises can be resolved only based on Resolution 1244, UN Charter and other documents of international law.

Thanks to them and their efforts, Bosnian Serbs control 49% of territory and have their own parliament. In the other half are Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Muslims who have a federation.

RS

Srpska

The prime minister of Republika Srpska has declared that since the Kosovo precedent is set, in case most EU countries recognize it as an independent state, he will hold a referendum on independence for the Bosnian Serb Republic.

Both Bosnia and Kosovo are NATO protectorates and if you allow one group the right to seceede then you cannot deny it to another.

Ukrainian support to Serbia radicalize. Nationalist protesters tear up a burning Albanian flag in front of Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanding Kiev did not recognize Kosovo's declaration of independence in Kiev March 1, 2008. REUTERS/Vladimir Sindeyev (UKRAINE).

I would use this opportunity to underline that Ukrainians invested a lot of in liberation of Balkan Slavs from Ottoman occupation, same as Russia and Poland. Today, while official Russia and Ukraine resist on restoration of Turkish/German sphera of influence on Balkan, official Poland, unfortunately work against her own historical strategic interests and partner- Serbia. At least, good news is that Polish public support Serbs, togather with public in all Slavic countries.

Now lets be fair here... Serbia allied with Russia to help its people and Poland allied with EU to also help its people... you can't blame one or the other for this....

Poland alone by itself cannot have a real influence on EU decisions.

Poland should assert itself as a leader that other countries like Slovakia, Czech Republic, Slovenia would look up to when it comes to their mutual positions on EU affairs. Only then could it become a serious force.

The point is mathiass that Poland by participating in missions in Iraq and Afghanistan marked itself as a potential target for Islamic fundamentalists, and now discredited itself by chosing the way of lawlesness and injustice in following those countries which trampled on international law by recognizing Kosovo ilegally. Those politicians acted against the will of the Polish people who elected them.

Serbia is not against a United Europe, we are all for it, but not in this way where EU shamelessly bows its head at American demands.

Here's the issue, I don't support Kosovo being recognized.... Ill go even further, its a huge mistake...

that being said, Tusk was elected because of his determination to improve relations with EU... if he didn't recognize Kosovo, this would go against the very image he's trying to potray... It would be political sucide and make him seem like a hypocrite for critizing Kaszynski on this issue...

Should Poland side with Russia on this issue and go against major EU players.... Doubt it this is only one issue, and we need the EU for our own economic and energy safety.... We can't sacrafice our own safety.... as much as we support Serbia..

Btw Not recognizing Kosovo would destroy all improvements we have made in our relations with EU, since Tusk.. Now privately we support Serbia, but publicaly our hands are tied... We are sorry, but these are the facts.

As far as us being target for terrorism, might be true... however it's much more difficult to carry out an attack in Poland than western EU and other countries in Europe.. Polands has a tiny muslim population which has been integrated in society for centuries... any chance of home grown terrorists is low... because of this tiny muslim population any terrorists who come to poland to plan an attack, its easy to keep an eye out on them... That is why there have been no terrorist arrests in poland since the war started... Were fairly safe, target or not..
