"Belgrade is the capital of all the problems," Thaci said, adding that "Serbia creates conflicts across the region" - whereas "Kosovo enjoys friendly relations with neighboring countries."
He said Pristina's ultimate goal was to join NATO, while without an army, it cannot even participate in NATO's Partnership for Peace program.
According to Thaci - who has recently had to "temporarily withdraw" the initiative - Kosovo waited a long time to take concrete steps in this direction, and was doing this "to preserve international relations."
SRF is reporting that the army project is "one of the many steps in Pristina's political struggle with Belgrade" and that "it is expected" Serbia will be sued for "genocide against Albanians in Kosovo."
Let the Albos in Kosovo have their "army" and when they cross into Mitrovica the Serbs can roll in and reconquer most if not all of the territory easily, Kosovo has been in a state of depopulation (because of poverty and corruption) the Albos that live there would love nothing more than to leave Kosovo for western Europe as war refugees, Germany is giving the Syrian "refugees" 400 euros a month.

Kosovo is not an independent country, firstly because it's not considered a country in the UN
(Nikola Novakovic, 30 April 2017 01:12)
So, Serbia was not an independent country until 1 November 2000, because before then it was not considered a country in the UN!

Thaci's Islamic religion is the cause of all problems. Many of Thaci's KLA Islamists have joined ISIS, perpetuating global instability.
Kosovo is not an independent country, firstly because it's not considered a country in the UN and secondly because its dependent and a protectorate of NATO, it could never be independent... An independent Kosovo is a fairytale and Thaci is the story teller...

The truth is that Albanians are the capital of all problems in the Balkans. They never stopped their criminal ways since arriving from the deserts.

Oh common Hashim, stop copying serb politicians attitude in your assertions.
While Belgrade has his own share of problem creation, trust me, every government in the Balkans is capable of creating problems on their own.
That hollier than thou attitude does not go well with most simple people regardless of the ethnicity.

The term ethnic cleansing was essentially formed to describe the Kosovo Albanian's plans to take over Kosovo long before the time of Milosevic.
Lovely and peaceable friends of mine were driven out by racist Albanians long before the wars.
Blame Albanians and their ambition to steal the land from Serbia. Ignore dangerous idiots like Thaci - they live off the trouble of others.

What an idiot! If Kosovo truly is independent why do they have to negotiate with Belgrade about forming an army? To blame their own shortcomings on someone else, albanians always blame Belgrade.

Its not Thaci that amazes me, he's just protecting his a**, his ill-gains and trying to dodge's noose...just another politician. What amazes me is the Albanians that live there and put up with his nonsense..but then again, what can they do? Mafia runs the show and they're just trying to put food on the table...like any other family in any other country would do.

“Given the political environment in Kosovo one suspects that the whole army talk is a solo act of the president, who really wants attention and wants to send the party that he still controls into new elections to gain the majority of the votes in the future government,” said Lumir Abdixhiku, director of Riinvest Institute, a think tank in Prishtina.

Oh now he's on the army thing again even after he was told he couldn't form one and then blames Belgrade for it. I'd like to think some of the Albobot dingdongs are just an exceptionally rare group of mental cases, but it seems idiocy runs all the way up to elected offices with these people :)

The only problem in the Balcans today is Albania snd it's blood thirsty polititions and it's supporters such as NATO and EU!
