Orthodoxism has caused enough controversies in the Balkans, since it was the one [Serb clergy] to be behind the rise of Milosevic. Earlier polls is Serbia have clearly shown that Serbs embrace Orthodoxism for the sake of their nation rather than God's. Just by reading some of you 'passionates' it's easy to detect hatred, arrogance etc. Enough with your "Christian love." The latest Balkan wars and atrocities prove again that a majority Orthodox Balkans has not become stable or more tolerant, and has not helped make Balkans Europe yet. Catholicism or Protestantism are probably the best for Albania. * Today you Serbs and Greeks are the ones to strengthen ties and have more respect with momma Russia which is growing more authoritarian and problematic to the west. It's not Albanism but Albanianism, which in fact should be a model of a new Balkanism inspiration for all the Balkans. The term was coated by an Albanian Catholic who was not anti-religion, but against Albanians becoming Greeks, Turks etc, thus stressing nationality over religion, at a time when the lands inhabited from Albanians for centuries, risked to become part of Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria etc. The Albanianism principle helped keep Albania together not based on a religious bases, like Greece and Serbia, but based on national identity, language, culture, inter religious harmony, respect for the secular state etc. Not Albania, but Greece and Serbia has been the ones to create chauvinistic Greater Greece and Greater Serbia programs, named respectively Megali Idea and Nacertanija. * Official US has expressed its desire to make Kosovo independent, and it's normal that "Greater Albania" thoughts will come in mind to some neighbors, even though Albania's politicians have continuously stressed that they do not intend to unify with Kosovo. The longer it takes to the final status, the more will the overwhelming majority of Kosovans determine what their independence day or final referendum will be. You still have problems with the new terrorists Serbian consulate car explodes in Greece 31 May 2007 | 12:53 | Source: Beta THESSALONICA -- A bomb was planted under a vehicle belonging to the Serbian consulate general in Thessalonica early this morning. SerbiaÂ’s consul in the northern Greek town Radomir ÂŽivković told journalists the incident was “not aimed against the person who used the car, or against the state of Serbia”. “Police is convinced this was the work of anarchists who often stage similar acts in Thessalonica and Athens,” ÂŽivković said, adding that the Greek police was expected to issue an official statement later today. The car that burned in the explosion causing no injuries was located in the parking lot outside the apartment where one of the consulate employees lived. Two small gas canisters were used as the device, detonated from a distance, ÂŽivković also said. Another vehicle with Greek license plates also exploded in the incident. http://www.b92.net/eng/news/society-article.php?yyyy=2007&mm=05&dd=31&nav_category=113&nav_id=41512

Sorry to burst your bubble but Albania is the least developed of all nations (always have been) in the Balkans even though Albanians submitted to the yoke of their islamic masters in previous centuries.

Then they went on rampages by submitting to the Italian fascists commiting unspeakable acts against women and children in Greece...refusing to fight like men against the heroic Greeks.

Then they submitted to the insane Maoist yoke of the Albanian commies for decades.

Face it -----and I'm being generous here---Albanians are confused and in dire need of soul searching...they are reviled and ridiculed beaause of their stupid decisions in the past and apparently judging from your remarks still suffering delusions of grandeur in the present time. They may have thought that Madam Albright and Holbrooke were their friends but they are not.

With guidance from the the Lord Jesus Christ they may get it yet...we pray for them and hope they fully join in the family of Christian Orthodox nations.

You want everyone in the Balkans to start peeing and crapping in their front yards and to have that code of Lek poison implemented by other Balkan states? Charming.
