Again, it's NATO, not UN and we gave the ethnic Albanians what they wanted when they started their blood campaign. We won their independence for them.
That was exactly my point. Thank you, Colonel.

Not exactly, but I'm glad to see that list of people who realize what happened is widening.

Nevertheless, my friendly advice: Life is not black and white even from 'our' view although various shades of gray may look different depending on a viewpoint. Be a bit more studious because you pissed off some people here.

I know, this is true, if i offensed anyone here i excuse myself. I'm not like that usually, but these subjects make my blood boil sometimes.. Not good i guess. Anyway, how are things in Sebia currently? Is the economy recovering? What do you think there about Kosovo's independance? It must be rough for you to accept. The truth is that it's difficult to get information about Serbia today, media focus only on the albanian side, and we don't get informed about S-M real situation...

peace

Sky wont fall If somebody expresses his opinion which doesn't paint the real state of affairs. Westerners will never understand our way of live properly (neither we will understand their) - different natures, that's all. How many times I was accused for being a bearded-Chetnik-holding-knife-in-my-teeth-and-feedeing-on-albanian-baby-carcass? Prejudices - I would be on remedies long ago If I had take them to hart.

Relax, you are living in Greece. That's beautiful country with thrully good people. Certainly one of the rare in which I would like to live.

Well, in short - things are heading in good direction, although not always in way that could be best.

Independance? I'll let them go. You don't realy think that would be good that milion of primtive Shiptars (not too different of Chetnik description I mentioned above) have the citizenships of the same country I'm living in. No thanks. But there must be some satisfaction for us Serbs, in any case.

BTW, There are few threads about Balkans in 'European Defence Topics' in which I gave detailed description of past, present and future picture of former Yugoslav countries. read them if you are interested.

Balkan history?

A great favorite of mine it is! How much this thread has changed.

Both of you should investigate this forum:
