    I think your reasoning is deeply flawed. Please remember that it was you who insisted on holding Watcher to exactly what he or she wrote. This yardstick of yours, therefore, must also apply to what you exactly wrote. Kindly let me explain further.

    Your exact question to Watcher on 1 May 2017 was "If Russia has become self sufficient, why does it need to sell gas to China or to the "MANY others"?!!!". Your exact question to me on 6 May 2017 (which you reconfirmed on 11 May 2017 to be your exact question for me), however, was “So, regarding what Watcher's actually wrote on 30 April 2017 17:06 that "Russia has become self sufficient", do you agree that statement is not correct?” Both of us agreed and committed that it is your exact question to me that would apply to me in your post of 11 May 2017 and my post of 12 May 2017.

    My point is that your exact question to Watcher is different from your exact question to me. i.e. Your exact question to Watcher asked for reasons why Russia sells gas to others. Your exact question to me was whether Watcher’s statement is correct. These 2 questions are not exactly the same and require different answers. Therefore you cannot hold me to your exact question for Watcher since I am not Watcher and since we had already agreed and committed to a different exact question for me!

I certainly did not ask you to reply; I asked Watcher, but you volunteered to answer that question. Since then we've still not settled whether your 2 May 2017 01:38 reply means that "Russia has become self sufficient".

    Whereas I questioned Watcher's statement that "Russia has become self sufficient" on 1 May 2017 21:30 and you decided to tackle that on 2 May 2017 01:38, i.e. before asking me on 3 May 2017 04:34 to prove my statement "If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve".

    Don’t you think that you are applying double standards here -- a higher one for Watcher and a lower one for yourself? Because, on one hand, you hold Watcher to exactly what he or she wrote and, on that basis, pronounced that what he or she wrote is not true. On the other hand, however, you do not provide proof that your statement "If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve." is true (ie. a fact), despite my repeated requests.
    (wells, 8 May 2017 01:40)

    It's not clear from what you wrote above what the double standard is. Yes, I hold Watcher to exactly what he or she wrote and the context he/she referred to, if any.

    Of course, but the only context that we can be sure about is what Watcher wrote; i.e. that "Russia has become self sufficient". He/she did not quote any other post(s) to add to that context.

    It is true that I have been giving opinions (speculations in your words) on this topic. I see nothing wrong with opining. Lots of posters give opinions on this public forum and, I think, so did you.

    You stated that I made the statement "Russia has become self sufficient in FOOD" . I am unable to find that exact statement in my posts. So this claim of yours is not a fact, agree? LOL

    Since it possible that there could still be some misunderstanding about what was posted, please allow me to summarize my position (and we can debate my summary if you like): My opinion is that Russia is self-sufficient in food based on an article that I had come across (link to this article was provided in my first post).

    Oh, OK, so we're not settled yet on the first point...

    Well, since Watcher never replied to my statement “If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve.”, I don't view it in your context at all! If you want to come up with your context, feel free to do so, but your context is just yours. The only thing that is a fact is that Watcher wrote, I quote, "Russia has become self sufficient". That's what I replied to.

    Your speculation that Watcher meant to write "Russia has become self sufficient in FOOD", remains just a speculation, until Watcher confirms it.

    So, regarding what Watcher's actually wrote on 30 April 2017 17:06 that "Russia has become self sufficient", do you agree that statement is not correct? Once we settle on that, we can move to your statement that "Russia has become self sufficient in FOOD"

  26. Of course Russia can accumulate foreign reserves (savings) - I'm glad that you got that part. But the question is, if Russia has become self sufficient, why does it need to get more money from OTHERS to accumulate foreign reserves (savings)? If Russia is self-sufficient, Russia would not need to get more money from OTHERS in order to accumulate those foreign reserves (savings) :)
    (icj1, 5 May 2017 03:05)

    I didn’t state that Russia is self-sufficient in everything – had you read my last post carefully enough, you would find that I had stated that I don’t believe that any country can be self-sufficient in everything. I wasn’t referring to Russia’s self-sufficiency in everything, I was referring to her self-sufficiency in FOOD. Please be clear about this.

    There is, obviously, a difference between not being self-sufficient in everything and not being self-sufficient in FOOD. When you informed Watcher that "If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve.", you appeared to be implying that Russia is not self-sufficient in FOOD. Your words “…… will starve” indicated to me that you were referring to FOOD only.

    And you have still not proven that your statement "If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve." is true (i.e. a fact). So in my opinion, this claim of yours to Watcher remains unproven and not a fact.

    I think the answer is simple – the Russian populace, by and large, will transact in their local currency (i.e. ruble), which is not a foreign currency to Russia. Many countries accumulate foreign reserves (just look at the amount accumulated by the likes of China and Japan!) and so why should Russia be different? Whatever Russia’s reasons for accumulating foreign reserves, it should not be because she needs to use it all to buy food – please refer back to the link that I provided which indicated that Russia is among the agriculturally sufficient countries.

    Mind you, I do not believe that any country is self-sufficient in everything. However, your original bone of contention with Watcher was that "If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve." It seems to me that, when you used the word “starve”, you were disputing about Russia’s self-sufficiency in FOOD only. So let us not deviate from your original point.

    By the way, can you prove that your statement "If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve." is true (i.e. a fact)?

    8. In 1445 our Greek Patriarch flew to the Constantinopole where descendants of Prince Dmitry aka Constantine ruled since 1380. It spoiled our relations and in 1453 we had to seize the city. After that our relations with Contantinopole were spoiled only by the Romanovs in 17 century when the Ottomans stopped to obey Rus.

    9. The main difference between the two versions was that the Rjurikovici considered themselves Gods too although smaller ones than their ancestor Andronik Komnin aka Andrey Bogoliubsky. So they wrote plenty of legends , icons and made plenty of monuments exposing themselves as gods. Today we know them as Greek Zeus (Christ), Aphrodite (The Virgin) ect - ask Leonidas about it ...

    10. Tanais was an old Rus/Greek city now called Azov. Tanais means same as Don i.e. River. Prince Dmitry became Saint under this name (Donskoy) during his lifetime (so we can expect that it must be somehow reflected in his new name of Constantine I. And it is as Constantinopole is a composite word of Con Stan Tina (Dona) Pole = Khan of Don Stan (Stand) Field ... with zero Greek smell !

    I always fail to write it short because any episode taken from the context (Can's Text) makes it ever more strange for fresh brains. I am hereby to return to your question about the pre-Nemania period.

    1. I have no doubts that the Njemania belonged to the Rjurikovici dynasty. Otherwise they had no chance to top any horde.

    2. They must have been Pagans coz this branch of the joint religion was dominant before Kulikovo battle of 1380.

    3. The two versions of the belief coexisted very peacefully for 195 years (1185-1380) after Christ. Pagan was dominant and was official religion of the empire. So Serbs were conservative ... like they are today.

    4. Two parallel cultured were developed. In both versions plenty of books were written, plenty of prayors, icons ect. Many are still available though the church does not explain what other versions but the Apostolic had existed.

    5. Russian Staroveri today stand closest to the Pagans though formally they are Orthodox and Apostolic. Even the official Russian church widely uses Pagan attributes like the swastika - the main symbol of the Pagans.

    [link]
    [link]

    6. The difference between the two versions was so great that we can merely call them one religion.

    7. After that date great changes were brought to the Apostolic Christianity where Greeks Brahmans (their pagan name) played even bigger role.

    Han Dmitry formally was the main man in the world because he was a direct descendant of Batu Han (Vati Can) and nobody was going to kill him. It must have happened by accident and that's why both armies immediately abandoned Kosovo ...

    [link]

    It was a critical moment as the Apostolic Whites/ Beli/ Ak / Albanians were beheaded while everybody knew that there was no way that the empire can be headed by anybody else. Guess this tradition was introduced long before Gengis Han aka Georgy Danilovic (elder brother of Batu Han (Ivan Danilovic) launched the Trojan War.

    Anyway Dmity's elder son Vasily (Bayazed) went on fighting intill he was captured and executed by Tamerlane in 1402. This date I doubt as I believe that Tamerlane and Mehmet II and Prophet Mohammad were one man. In 1415 the Golden Horde submitted to the White one. Together they moved our to Europe that stopped to pay money (silver Tallers) during the civil war in Rus that included Balkans.

    It was a 40 years long war described in Bible (Exodus) and events of 1444, Skenderbeu, Albanian League ect. - all were in the context of that Reconquista. Our hordes reunited and moved forward as the Whites.

    Yet there was one more horde (Blue) in Ukraine that later became the Ottomans. They stayed loyal to the Whites before 17 century when Germans (Romanovs) captured the newly built capitol of Moscow.

  40. Skenderbeu -3

    This battle is described many times from Indian Mahabharata to the life story of Constantine I The Great aka Great Prince/Han Dmitry I. If you add 1052 years to most European dates you will have the true dating so if you add them to the death date of Constantine I you will find yourself on Kosovo (Cossakovo) Pole of 1389 ...

    Thus all 3 (sultan Murad I, emperor Constantine I and the great khan/kniaz Dmity I Ivanovic Donskoy) died at the same time and place on Kosovo field in 1389. Simlpy because they all were ONE MAN. Before 1572 when Pope Gregory introduced his new chronology there were no problems with dating and date of their death was 1389-1052 = 337.

    This was the real dating of the Kosovo battle. the sultan/khan/emperor was 39 yers old (not 65!) and he had no health problems but you will find not a single sentence in the Rus history about why and where he died and why the burrial services were held not by the Greek Patriach of the empire or at least by his Godfather Sergyi Radonezhski but by some low rate Archbishop of Trabesund. Most likely he was mumified and burried in the Imperial Cemetery in Giza (Cossack Cemetery)

    [link]

    Kosovska Bitka hereby was a routine battle of the civil war of 1370-1415 known in Rus as Velikaya Smuta. It was a severe war of the Golden (Pagans) and the White (Apostolic) hordes both headed by the ruling Rjurikovici.

    "pre-Nemanjic Serb state era" is a good combination of words ! You already know that I don't have any facts about any states on the Balkans before 19 century. No states, no peoples ! Only some ethnical legends, traditions and languages.

    What was different in Njemanici period (before 1389) ? Everything was different ! Christianity was the only world religion - no Buddism, no Hebrew, no Muslims yet. But there were two versions of Christianity that much later got names of the Pagans and the Apostolic.

    The more I think about it the more I believe that the Serbs were Pgans in 1389 and so were many Rus people at the time. Andronic I Komnenos known in Russia as Андрей Боголюбский + Андрей Первозванный was crusified in 1185 in Tsargrad and Rus fems of the Byzantine launched cruisader war that lasted till 1340 when 100% of what is called Europe now was colonized. The whole world was involved and that war we now call Trohan or Gothic.

    [link]

    This empire is called Roman, Mongol ect. now but in the past it had plenty of other names. Two parallel Christianities coexisted before 1370 when young Great Prince of the Great Horde decided to put an end to it. What exactly happened that year remains unclear but this date is written on all Serbia, Bulgarian and Rus icons of the time. It is written in letters but not figures that was traditional then and it is written inside the nimb of the Savior.

    It could be that Russia wants to earn more money by selling gas to others, and not because she needs to buy food. There is a 2013 report that seems to indicate that Russia is one of the countries that is agriculturally self-sufficient.

    So while others might freeze from no gas, I think it is unlikely that Russia will starve (from not having food).

  48. For your personal edification, Ataturk was part Albanian. Also, around 1900 the Albanian language had three alphabets: Arabic, Greek and Latin. Despite this, our language remained unchanged. (The Count of Kosova)

    Pussy, his parents emigrated from Russia in 1919. To be exact they run away from Batumi city of Georgia. Those were times of the Ottoman empire when word TURK was not used yet. But in 1923 Mustafa Kemal invited two Russian proffessors to write the Turkish dictionary for him. Those were a scientists of Tatar and Bashkir origin who before 1932 collected about 30 000 words that they called Turkish. In fact only 10% of them were more or less Turkic and 90% had Persian, Arab, Slavic and Greek roots. It was a funny detective story and if you make your nick shorter I'll go into the details.

    As for the Shqiptars they formally did not exist before 1912 because your grandfathers belonged to 3 different milliets (nations) of the Ottomans. The only nation to where you did not belong was Jewish Milliet-i Ladino. That's why you had to use 3 alphabets. I wrote it several times here but most likely you grant me your POOR COMMENTs without or before reading my comments. Quite a few peoples on this planet enjoy a written history of their own and the Shqiptares are not one of them so they rumors. Besides there was no need in your personal written history as in the Ottoman empire there were no problems with the RIGHT interpretations of the events ...

    Serbs NEVER supported my comments linking the Shqiptars in their voting. But Russians are as stubborn as the Serbs are so I don't give up as there must be reasonable people among them. But for the time being they believe that KOSOVO POLE means DROZD POLE despite the fact that they do have word DROZD in their language. They never ask themselves questions that lead to destruction of their legends and their heroic songs and fiction literature. They don't bother to know why so many Serbs have KARA (= black) words (Kara Georgy, Karadjic ...) in their family names? Why their capitol was called Belgrade if it wasn't built of white stones ? What word Balkans mean and who gave this Rus neme to the whole region ? What makes them think that Balkans were a colony but not the Metropoly of the Ottomans where many Serbs had priviledged PASHA and VAZIR chairs ? How came that some other Serbs ruled remote regions of Europe and Asia ? How come that (in Tibet once ruled by the Serbs) the main religious center Shambhala still has it Slavic name of ШАМБАЛА = ШАМ БАЛА = CHAMME BALA = HAM BALA = HAN BALA = WHITE PRINCE while plenty of local toponymals sound not even Russian but rather Serbian? If the say A they'll have to go to the end of the alphabet. And by the way they don't wonder why all alphabets mean the same two letters A and B ? be it Arab/Persian Alef Be or Russian Aзбука or European Alpha Beta ...

Truth is balkans have never decided anything in international arena of politics but we like to think that we are proud people and we count something. Dont expect a change soon in serbs mentality. Fomenko is so humble and simple if you compare him to the balkans academics full of farts and full of nothing.

This was perceived by Hoxha as a great lack of respect for the heroic people of Albania! Now that metalurgic kombinat built by the chinese did poison half of albanians and destroyed one of our major cities! This to make you understand how ridicolous balkans are in feeling a fake sense of pride. Serbs are no different from albanians on this and in their narrow minded self esteem they are resisting to some sort of pan-russian agenda.

  58. Skenderbeu 44 : Very strange as "ar" means gold in albanian.

    Ethimological dictionaries can be of great use in tracing any words though when it comes to history issues I trust none of them. Today I was watching a TV film about Konigsberg and discovered that the word is composed of KONIG + BERG = HAN'S CITY.

    Yesterday I was studying the map of both Americas trying to understand why the biggest mountain chains have names other than Rus ones. Very soon I calmed down for everything was OK and Cordilleras sounds rather K-Orde-la-Ros while Cordillera de los Andes sounds not less Russian. Because Склавины + анты were two of our Slavic ancestors.

    [link]
    [link]
    [link]
    [link]

    Closest words that I know to your OR (gold) are ZAR in Pashto and some Indian and ZARD in Persian (and most likely in Osmani) languages. But here again we cannot be sure that those are not reflections of two other very close words ZAR/TSAR and Z-ARDA/TSAR ARDA ... Yet if I were you I would seek truth in Turkish sources as 400 years of your recent history was tied to the Ottomans.

    But please remember that Ataturk wasn't father to all of the Turks and the alcoholic was a mortal enemy of the Ottomans. Many parts of their history were changed and an absolutely new language was written in 1923-32 ...

    My friend Serbs aren't interested in their history if it doesn't meet their current fairy tales. They need only facts that support the already existing version of their history. If you saw the NC site where every year new countries join them the Serbian version remains as poor as it used to be 3-4 years before. It means that not only Serbs from b92 but all others remain deaf for any facts and arguments.

    It's absolute idiotism because their true history is really great. The Great Horde was a military Empire so troops were very mobile and very often they had to stay and assimilate in very remote regions of the world. I know at least several such regions where Serbs were mentioned but none of them in b92 ever asked me to tell my versions. There are many states that once were ruled by the Serbs but they don't care as it has nothing to do with their Kosovska Bitka ect.

    Even when something is found on the Serbian soil they accept western interpretations as it happened with the old Hordian castle now called Viminacium. So when it comes to history issues our proud Serbs begin to suck. Some of the Shqiptares, Croat Lenard (Leo Ard), plus a couple of guys with Saxon nick names ask me questions but Serbs always stay aside and vote against. Guess Serbia is going to be the last stronghold of the Scaliger-Petavius version of history that everybody laughed at in 17-18 century.

  64. icj1 : If they freeze, that means that Russia will starve.

    Russia is №1 in seed exports, this year they expect 30 million ton to be exported. We stopped to import chicken and meat. Moreover we export them to China and Central Asia. Fast increasing exports to China and our satellite states include wine, canned food, sweets, ice cream and many other items. Low rouble and counter sanctions let our agricultural sector push out most western companies. Another advantage is that GMO products are forbidden in this country and we've obtained reputation of organic producers. Italian, French, American and other farmers come here to invest in agriculture that develops at the rate of 5-7% annually. We also catch more fish because greater part of our 60 000 km long borders are sea borders with their 200 mile economic zone ... To say nothing that crude oil gives us 7 times more money than gas. Also our forests began to give us real money while Rosatom contracted USD 400BLN at the time. We fail to make a bike but we make the best space engines and all American rockets use only them. Today Rybinsk Motors started to produce a new engine for our Navy ... It's a long long list that will dissapoint you - trust me we will be the last one to starve on this planet.

    -- See as Albanians we feel Macedonia is our home. We aren't guests or shipped in as slaves, and as such we don't tolerate any discrimination. You discriminate us in our own home, in own country, you will have issues. The Anthem is also a form of discrimination. We were never asked.


    They want the Macedonian government to recognize a supposed genocide against the Albanian people from 1912 to 1956

    -- This is BS.No genocide. Government organized the crimes though. This did happen.

    Stop crying, acknowledge the fact that Macedonia is a country. Learn to live and respect the country you live in. You have gotten so many rights over the past two decades you don't know what to do with them.

    -- It is, and we won't tolerate any sort of discrimination in our own homes. It is not a country "we live in". It's our country. There is no Macedonia without us.

    Erdogan is an ethnic Georgian from Batumi city with his Georgian mother and father who ran from the Russian Empire in 1919. They called themselves Geogians when they settled in the former Russian city of Ardogan near the border and they called themselves Georgians because TURKS DID NOT EXIST YET AT THE TIME. Also word ARDOGAN means ARDA HAN = KNIAZ OF THE HORDE ... In Turkish Erdogan means Falkon and it's quite normal as Falkon was the family coat of arms of the Rjuricovici to whom ALL THE SULTANS BELONGED. Even thei most famous Pasha Sokologlu known in Bosnia as Sokolovic used this name. Serbs hate to know that they ruled the Empire for decades.

    Now tell us of your other fears and pisses. What role the Shqiptars played in the Empire if Albanians were Slavs only?

    Well, there are no Serbian Armed Forces in Kosovo due to UNSCR 1244. So, Kosovo is just creating the Kosovo's branch of Serbia's Armed Forces (if you prefer to call it that way, that is absolutely fine). So, Serbia's "two armies" concern does not make any sense.

    So, the only reason that remains for Serbia's opposition to the creation of Kosovo's branch of Serbia's Armed Forces is that Serbia is worried :)

    You are either ignorant of Serbian history or too blinded by your own need to project your own falsified history of the "Great Albanian" people.

    Serbs have lost millions in wars over their long history in wars they tried avoiding at all costs, but, as is typically the case, small weak nations/people such as "Albanians" for example, have always bowed down to whomever presented their feet to lick while proclaiming themselves as warriors. Serbs do not gloat and speak of starting wars because they know the realities of wars and have paid in blood too many times for you to count too.

    Spare yourself the embarrassment and try your BS with people who don't know what a sad and weak nation and people Albanians are. I actually feel sorrow at times like a father would for a mentally retarded son.

  95. "The international community did not intervene with a demand to come to a compromise, but to accept an option."

    The synchronization of what Dacic says with what Moscow said (in another article on B92) should make it clear why Putin wants Dacic in government in Serbia. The first thing that comes out of his mouth is "It is the West's fault".

    "That is why it's important to preserve political stability. Would we want scenes like in Macedonia to happen here?," Dacic asked.

    Completely agree, Serbia hopefully has learned from its mistakes but the situation is not similar thank God. When it was similar, much worse happened in Serbia. The last time the "heavenly" Serbs had a significant minority in their country, they went to war to deny that minority their rights. Gruevski is walking down the same path as Milosevic, Dacic's teacher. Denying democracy to hold on to power. In the end it was the Serbs who removed Milosevic from power. It will be the same in Macedonia.

    As an Albanian from Albania I could not agree more.

    Both sides have suffered in this conflicts and is as if they suffered for nothing or for more hate and vendetta.

    F*** that. I don't want nor do I prefer a conflict with Serbia. I want trade, business and cooperation. Serbian tourists and businesses are all welcome to Albania. Let's build a future of peace and prosperity together, rather than fight and biker like animals.

    Dear Watcher. We Albanians coudn't give a damn about his BOSS and MASTER Milosevic. Do you think that we care about little Dacic?.. hahaha

    Do you know that Dacic doesnt open his mouth without talkin to Lavrov first? This is how brave he his. Go and ask him , if i'm lying. And you say we're hiding behind someone else..pff how dare you. serbs are hiding behind russia since the begining of time. So please save me the lecture about bravery and dialogue, since serbs don't know what dialogue and bravery is. Serbs are russian servants and they do what russians tell them to do and they fight only if the russians tell them to do so. We Albanians have been always alone and have survived, now we have some support yes. But you still have russia you have never been alone like us. ok?

  108. The Albanian speaker was a 2001 rebel/terrorist who fought against the Macedonian army in 2001 and was granted amnesty under a Nato brokered deal. He blocked veterans' benefits to Macedonian soldiers because Albanian terrorists/rebels weren't allowed veterans' benefits.

    -- You'll go nowhere with this mindset. Here you have someone who fought, willing to discuss and solve things through politics. Second, go ahead and explain why they fought. Macedonia was chavinistic and as the attempt to murder parliamentarians yesterday shows, a good chunk of the society is still chauvinistic.

    Also, yesterday, the Albanians sung the Albanian national anthem in Macedonian parliament. Macedonians could not stand for that.

    -- One person did that. It's wrong but stop spreading lies. Also since 20% of the population is Albanian, did Macedonians ask them when they came up with the anthem? If the Albanians were ignored, why would they feel the anthem somehow represents them?

    Though, there is much more left-wing / right-wing Macedonian political issues as to why the protesters -- some of who are likely paid thugs -- stormed the building.
    (Honest, 28 April 2017 15:10)
    This is not left-wing, right-wing. This is Gruevski burning the country down so he can escape jail. We have the same type of corrupt idiots in Albania doing the same thing. Asking for the government's resignation one month before elections. Doesn't hurt that both Gruevski and Basha are tied to the Russians; I guess.

  109. @Honest,
    He was a soldier like the other side. The fact that one of the terms of the peace was the amnesty of ALL parties (same deal offers amnesty to Macedonians who broke the law too), so what's your point?
    Was it illegal for him to become a deputy or not?
    If not, I don't see a reason for him not to be speaker of the parlament other than Macedonian bigotry.

  110. "All or nothing" was the motto of some guys who started FOUR wars in ex-Yugoslavia.
    If we Albanians wanted "All or Nothing" we could finish off Macedonia back in 2001. Bulgaria was (and still is) more than happy to share Macedonia wth us.

    But does Dacic like a Greater Bulgaria and Greater Albania alliance? Because who knows, than we can talk about Presevo Valley and some other parts that Bulgaria is interested in Serbia.

    So, better shut up and hope there will be an Albanian-Macedonian Constitutional Goverment in Macedonia and not a civil unrest.

  113. Apparently, Talat Xhaferri was good enough for Nikola Gruevski to have him as a minister of Defense, but now that he's elected Head of Parliament by the other party, it's a calamity.

    The fundamental issue in Macedonia is the deep division and enmity between Macedonian parties themselves resulting from the blatant corruption and arbitrarity of Gruevski's clique. Being isolated, Gruevski is ready to burn half of the country to save his ass, by inflaming nationalist rhetoric.

    Regarding, the agreement to make Albanian an official language in MK, alongside Macedonian; Could the Serbs here be any more hypocritical? Serbs are only 1% of the population in Kosova, yet Serbian is an official language alongside Albanian. Regardless of whosever estimate you take, Albanians in MK are between 25-33% of the population and Macedonians about 64%. The French are 15% of the population in Canada, yet French is an official language. In Switzerland, 22% French, 8% Italian, are official languages. The demand to make Albanian an official language in MK is entirely legitimate.

  119. I have read so many hateful and war-promoting news here just in this week toward Albanians that i have not read in one year. What Greater Albania these war-promoting people are talking about ? – if Albanians in Macedonia can't even have a Speaker in parliament !!
    Racism ! Denial of the right,… but Serbian paranoia translate it like « Greater Albania », and poison its own people with such a lies and propaganda. Albanians are fighting for rights denial not Great Albania!
    For the fear of Greater Albania – Macedonians are destroying their own country – hope Serbia do the same then.
    I bet Serbian secret services has to do with it, same as in Montenegro !

As head of Unmik he did little to hide his dislike of Serbia and in reports to New York consistently showed bias towards his Albanian friends. In his book....which was read by very few people he showed his prejudice against Serbs and Serbia.Several of his UNMIK colleagues who left the UN have remained in the service of Kosovo since.Shamelessjjh Assistant Secretary- General United Nations retired

    Dacic, you're such an idiot dude. Macedonian officials voted an ethnic Albanian to take over as head parliament.

    Then you had a few nationalists storm in and beat them up while the world watched and was disgusted with their barbaric actions.

    Ultimately this was a great win for Macedonia as a whole. They showed true character of democracy despite the fact some idiots tried to ruin it.

    Congrats to all Macedonians and Albanians!

    "They still think that some new merciful angel will protect them," Dacic concluded.

    The huge mistake Serbia and its politicians are making is belittling Albanians. It is and will be their big problem.

    If Albanians are united nobody can beat them....

    Rama and Thaci's statements are read in Serbian way....

    They criticised the EU in their approach of the countries EU prospective....and if the door is shut what would you expect?

    Nothing can stop the unification of Kosovo and Albania if the EU door is shut. 100 %
