[GAB-1955]

I'll call them as I see them. I don't see what's wrong with a term to refer to all the inhabitants of a province by one name. Yes, there are Serb Kosovars and Albanian Kosovars. There's only one Kosovo, and it should be part of Serbia. However, everyone there -- particularly the Serbs -- have to break out of this poisonous mindset that it's impossible to work with the others.

If you can't live together, the only alternative is separation. If that's the case, the lines have been drawn, but not the way Serbs want them. And that's fine with the rest of Europe.

Of course, it could be worse... Hugo Chavez could have visited.

Why don't you see that it is the Albanian Muslims in Kosovo who are pushing out and killing others, not only Serbs but also Gypsies? Under Serbian rule the Albanian population grew, whether through high birth rate or through legal and illegal immigration from Albania. Why is that so, that Serbia even now is the most multiethnic of all former Yugoslav republics?

Will you say that I am lying or that I have "poisonous mindset" by stating these facts?

Are you sure which direction are you going? God does not force or drag people into Kingdom of Heaven.

"However, everyone there -- particularly the Serbs -- have to break out of this poisonous mindset that it's impossible to work with the others."

..."The Serbs are "being intransigent" in offering everything short of independence. (Even Ahtisaari admits that the Serbs "would agree to anything but independence.") In contrast, the Albanians are "demonstrating flexibility" in demanding nothing but independence. (Kosovo "President" Fatmir Sejdiu declared independence "the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end of our position.") It is like living in a Star Trek parallel universe."...
