    Just to clarify to people that are curious. The relationship was not improving between the parts. The fact is rather that the serbian administration step by step was forced to accept the independence of Kosovo and to cooperate with the albanians. They would otherwise just be more punished by the west. The state of the conflict today is just on hold. Nothing else…

    I just want to say, none of us know the horror of serbs who live in Kosovo. Albanians have been very much on Kosovos side and they have become even more hostile towards serbs. Serbs can't go to Kosovo without fear for their property such as cars albanians are ripping the license plates of Serbian cars out of protest, denting and so on. It's scary. I am from Serbia i just want to put out this side of the story for those who want to know more.

    We Bosniaks did not forget about Srebrenica and that thousands of our Bosniak women and young girls were raped in Bosnia during that aggression and 1992-1995 was not the only time such evil happened to us.Let us not be surprised ever again and unprepared.I don’t know why the hate calmed down as if injustice was never done to Bosnian Muslims.This makes me sad. Thousands of Bosniak women and young girls screamed in so much pain.And nope I don’t hate the Serbian women and girls ,I love women and girls.(❤️❤️).So many of them still supports this evil. If only we Bosniaks were little devils back then as well and had our time with thousands of fine Serbian babes……Kosovo Is Not Serbia.

    Serbians are the only ones who claim Kosova as theirs. Every reasonable historian in the world, including many of Serbia's top historians and thinkers, agree that Kosova is part of Albania. It was split from Albania and given to Serbia from the great powers of that time (UK, France, etc) in 1913. Its population is 97% Albanian. The rest are Serbian and other minorities. There are around 100,000 Serbians who live there. Everyone is treated fairly. The issue is that the Serbians who live in Kosova refuse to get Kosova license plates because that would mean they would have to become citizens of Kosova. They refuse this reality. They are in the purest form, rebel citizens who are inching closer to becoming a terrorist organization, because they not only refuse to become citizens, they are willing to take up arms to defend their right to not become citizens. Why not get two citizenships? LOL Imagine if Mexicans would refuse to become US citizens after Texas became part of the USA. Except for Kosova has been part of Albania for at least 20 centuries. That is the heart of Albania. That is why it is filled with Albanians! If it was the heart of Serbia, as Serbians claim, no-one would have stopped them to populate it and even make their capital there. It is all lies for politicians to confuse people and stay in power. Always the common enemy to use as a scapegoat. Time to move on. Do you really want to spend your lives arguing over this and get to war over this? It will NEVER become part of Serbia again. NEVER AGAIN! Keep drinking raki and be merry.

    An autonomous region of Serbia is a province-level administrative division with a high degree of
    autonomy from the central government. This means that these areas have greater autonomy in terms
    of local governance and economic development than other provinces in Serbia. Autonomous regions are
    generally inhabited by minority ethnic groups and are given preferential treatment in terms of
    economic policies and cultural rights.

    Albanians have been systematically driving Serbs out of their communities, making life difficult for them through tactics such as forbidding Serbian license plates and raiding homes of business owners and many other stuff. These raids often result in the looting of homes, leaving Serbs feeling powerless and unwelcome in their own communities. This oppressive behavior has been going on for far too long.

    Here we go, fun facts:
    1) Kosovo WAS NOT A STATE OF YUGOSLAVIA, it was a province and after 2000's they declared independence supported by the USA,NATO, and WEST
    2) Yugoslavias breakup was not triggered by ''Serbian nationalist'' but by other states wanting to be independent
    3) NATO forces used depleted uranium and killed many thousands of INNOCENT PEOPLE YOU FUCKING TERRORIST!
    4) AFTER NATO AGRESSION!
    5) What about Kosovo Albanians burning churches and houses?
    6) Most live in north part of the province of Kosovo since albanians killed thousands!
    7) Any lawful plans of so-called kosovo gov? Every deal they made they broke.
    8) No reports about shooting on Serbs?
    9) They ''delayed'' on the request of their overlords.
    10) What's the problem? Russia is doing what USA is doing for at least 70 years
    11) There is more Russians on Crimea then Albanians on Kosovo % wise… check the facts
    12) EU did nothing. Nor it will.
    13) By the UN Security Councel Kosovo IS NOT A CONTRY. FACT!
    14) All signed agreements are not upheld to KOSOVO! don't flip facts noob!
    15) Serbian president is a joke but on that sequence he's right.

    Serbs are the ones who suffered the most of all the Balkan countries, their population is treated as second class citizens in Kosovo, the USA and the EU support a large Albanian and there is no place for justice = it is like apartheid for serbs now best regards

    The EU itself did not want to achieve peace between Kosovo and Serbia, but the best thing would be for Serbia to apologize to Kosovo for what it did during the war and move on because the EU is deliberately leaving Kosovo behind and Serbia.

    Albania is a land without tradition, a people without culture. Kosovo is Serbian, that will remain forever. Kosovo, which is full of beautiful monasteries, churches, every church has a story, a tradition, a culture, the nation that has the most beautiful tradition and culture is the Serbian nation. The Albanians were created by the Ottomans stealing Serbian children and thus Turkified them. It is shameful that most European countries recognize Kosovo as a non-dependent state, but that's all bullshit. Kosovo will remain Serbian forever.

    Who fought Ottomans in Kosovo 1389?

  31. @milansimonovic8267

    February 22, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Slovenes and Croats seceded from Yugoslavia because they wanted their own national (ethnically pure) states, but Serbs are nationalists. You forgot to say that the KLA is a terrorist organization recognized by the UN, so *Kosovo is a terrorist state built on organ trade of murdered Serbian man, woman and children we know that Americans love terrorists. And don't remove the Byzantine imperial coat of arms from the Serbian flag because we know from that alone that you are malicious, revisionist and deniers of history. And by that we will never recognise organ tradeing terrorist state.

    all I hear is blah blah blah … Nato bombed Serbia and stole Kosovo, which has Serbian for a thousand years. The USA is a bully ..PLANET EARTH does not recognize Kosovo who cares about the ear and the EU and USA.😅

    February 22, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Albanians say that Kosovo is theirs, but that is not true. we fought in 1389 with the Turks who were overwhelmingly more powerful than us and both generals died and somehow we managed to win that battle and where were the Albanians all that time. They didn't even fight heroically for that place and now they say it's theirs

  34. @annehersey9895

    February 22, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    Why doesn't Serbia just cut Kosovo loose? It is ridiculous that Kosovo can't just either join Albania or rule itself. Does the EU have a death wish? I wouldn't let Serbia into the EU if they had all the money in Europe. They think Dude in Poland and especially Orban in Hungary are huge headaches, they ain't seen anything like the Serbs! They cause trouble wherever there is any Serb population-Have you tried to figure out the map of Bosnia and Herzegovina lately? Yes, EU, please stay far far away from Serbia.

    I would have thought that the Albanian balija destruction of churches and monasteries in Mitokia ,north east Kosovo, would poison relations for ever.

  36. @besa3843

    February 22, 2024 at 12:45 pm

    There many ethnic Albanians that live in Serbia for many years before Serbia look over original Albania lands. The Albanians of Serbia do not have the same rights as Serbians unless the declare that they’re Serbian and change their real identities, otherwise they would not be able to have the same rights as Serbians. Serbia is ethnic cleansing Albanians and have for many years. Kosovo has the right to make its own laws in its own country.
