Why do Serb propagandists use California or New Mexico as an example when comparing the Kosovo situation?
Posted on November 30th, 2009 by admin
When in reality they are not even remotely close. They claim that the situation in Kosovo is like Mexican immigrants in those states whom outnumbered the natives and now seek independence. Here is why it not the same:
1. Kosovo has always had an Albanian element to it, perhaps not with these numbers as you see today but Albanians have always been natives in Kosovo even when Slavs came down from the other Carpathian mountains. It was never clear cut if it was part of which country.
2. No mass exodus has ever been recorded in history where Albanians immigrated from Albania proper into Kosovo especially post WWII, or illegal crossing of any kind. Even the few dozen lucky ones that escaped Albania were give political asylum in other countries.
3. Albania had a chance after WWII to join Yugoslavia but risked war not to and Albanians had no reason to move to Kosovo en mass as claimed by Serb bigots. Both countries were dirt poor and both devastated by the great war.
4. If Mexican-American took a vote never in a million years will they vote to split from the USA. The USA is the reason they entered those lands in the first place. Because in the US the individual rights of a human being are valued, while in Yugoslavia Albanians were second class citizens.
5. Look at Puerto Ricans they have had many refferendums and never succeseed and they are 90% Hispanic and with their own language, culture and all but they failed to come up with the needed results democratically and they did do it the US and the world would honor they wishes and not threaten war Serbia is doing.
All in Serbia wants Kosovo but does not want it’s inhabitants and if left unchecked it deport all of them illegally by force and this why the have no international support for their cause or sympathy.
Hi Vivet, The native Americans experienced genocide. But today they have their own reservations and they have virtual independence and are considered a priveldged group, were they pay no taxes have many different grants for college, and are filthy rich by run casinos in their reservations.
Also vivet perhaps in the summer of 1999 when the returning Albanians were furious but I thin the fear factor today is exaggerated.
Smart guy I have nothing to say to you because your tainted ways of thinking is what has gotten your people in so much hot water in the last two decades.
Whom are you? Karadzic? Turn yourself in and be a man do not hide behind the computer talking about Serbian patriotism and then steal money under the pretext of war while thousands of innocent people get killed to satisfy your ignorance and greed.
Hello Jelena, nice to see that you are doing well and I hope this question finds you in good spirits and great health, but in 1941 Tito send Miladin Popovic to organize the Albanian communist party and basically swallow Albania into the Yugoslav federation Albania was intended to be the 7th republic but Enver Hoxha’s ideology and Tito’s version of communist utopia differed. So I never said that Albania was ever part of Yugoslavia but Yugoslavia did have designs on Albania.
Also Jelena the influx of refugees into Greece and other countries is post 1993 once communism collapsed. This is a fact by this time Kosovo was 85% due to natural birth rate, and the Serbs selling their properties to Albanians with hard foreign currency due to the fact many had jobs abroad in Western Europe.
Greeting Goxy, There is no denying Serbia presence in Kosovo. You see I’m a firm believer in the theory that when two entities come in contact with one another both are changed forever no matter how small or brief the contact is. So this is why we are changed Albanians and we want our own country called Kosovo, with a Serb minority in Mitrovica. A multi ethnic Kosovo were the majority rule.
Pershendetje Vetvendoshja,
Are you Albin Kurti I’ve been curious for a while now?
WHAT UP, WHAT UP, AQ
Pass the Dutchie my brother and if you going to drink and drive stay in you lane suckaaaaaaa!
1) who cares who was there first, both Serbs and Albanians are there for more than a millenium
2) Serbs and Albanians are not the only inhabitants of Kosovo, there are Goranci, Turks, Circassians and Roma people (more commonly known as Gypsies) as well
3) Yugoslavia was poor after the war but Albania was poorer, and after Enver Hoxha refused to join Yugoslavia he made it even poorer and they were completely opressed till recently. Albanians in Kosovo and Macedonia and other parts of Yugoslavia were much better off than those in Albania.
4) If Kosovo gains independence the rights of minorities should be taken care of
5) Solution country for the Kosovo would be an independent country with shared power
6) Serbia is like Nokia phones: with every year it gets smaller
7) The whole partition thing and wars in Balkan is stupid. All the people of Balkan should unite and compete in the global world. The people who benefit from all the conflicts are neither Serbs nor Albanians nor any other Balkan people but Westerners who hang around Balkan like vultures. The problem of Balkan people is that they like to live in past and don’t look into future.
If Serbs complain about natality among Albanians they should learn how to make babies
9) Balkan gangsters are world’s top class, they’re taking over the entire European underground scene. When it comes to drug and weapon trade Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, Slovenes, Croats, Yugoslavian Turks, Macedonians and Montenegrins don’t mind to cooperate, so why can’t we do this in other fields too, not just crime?
