Irelia The Will of the Blades Thats because the Albanian population was killed and driven out, for example half a million albanians where driven out from modern day northern greece or as a different example one million Albanians died in Kosovo during the balkanwars by the hand of the serbs. And the Albanians are still in a majority in half of Macedonia including the Capital Skopje which by the way was the Albanian Capital in 1912. When the Albanians declared independence from the ottoman empire.
Simple fact : If a car with Serbian plates drives through Kosovo nothing happens, but otherwise if a car with Albanian of Kosovo plates drives through Serbia most of the times they are killed. UN facts.
To the person that speaks i suggest you do the research your self, do not refer to some sold out that wrote a book finance by Serbs. I was in Albania during the war and i saw with my eyes what the Serbs had done. the KLA was not a terrorist organization it was created to defend the people from Serbian atrocities. You are wrong and may good have mercy on your soul for defending murders, and hurting the Albanian people with your evil defending propaganda.
where you in Macedonia in 2001 when the war was there. what happen to the leader of uck that burnt alive Macedonian soilders in the jeep they drove you can see there finger tip burnt as they touched the burning vechicles steel frame. i didnt see then go to tge hague for war crimes ohhhh but the Macedonian leaders did how one side is that. im sure if maxico try to take over teaxs the americans would come down on them like they wouldn't know. but there the west they make international law but they only obey it when they want to. where is the justice albania got these. but the clinton resigim took kosovo and did wat it want they held a referendum inside nato or UN and bingo a deal was done kosovo is independent. go see crimea a referendum dine inside crimea ask a simple question to stay with ukraine or exit. but the usa doednt recognize crimea but kosovo is how ironic how wext goes. that why usa dislijes russia because they dont bend over like others do
...Although its extent and forms remain in dispute, this rising Albanian economic power is helping to turn the Balkans into a hub of criminality. Jane's Intelligence Review from Great Britain
Two years ago a joke was being circulated on the Runet that a heroin producer has recognized its distributor’s independence. It was about Afghanistan, which was to the first to recognize the independence of the Serbian province of Kosovo which had illegally separated from Yugoslavia. Kosovo has since become a transit point for drugs, channelled from Asia to Europe.
To document the increase in traffic through the Albanian Kosovar region The Monitor continued, "For example, just 14 pounds of hard drugs were seized by Hungarian police in 1990, but by August this year [1994] the figure had risen to 1,304 pounds."
A Serbian military analyst and an authoritative expert on the situation in Kosovo, Milovan Drecun says that, according to the Europol and Interpol, the largest amount of heroin is delivered to Europe from Afghanistan via Kosovo. According to some estimates, some 65% of all the world’s heroin is channeled through the former Serbian province; while 90% of all drugs that reach Europe are shipped via Kosovo.
The vast Albania Diaspora ensures easy distribution. Albanians who crossed the border into Kosovo could get Yugoslav passports. This enabled them to travel anywhere in Europe, where they could demand political asylum as refugees from Milosevic
The Journal wrote, "But it is drug trafficking that has gained Albanian organized crime the most notoriety. Some Albanians, according to federal Drug Enforcement Agency officials, are key traders in the 'Balkan connection' the Istanbul-to-Belgrade heroin route. While less well known than the so-called Sicilian and French connections, the Balkan route in some years may move 24% to 40% of the U.S. heroin supply, officials say."
As the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)- 2010 World Drug Report:Once heroin leaves Turkish territory, interception efficiency drops significantly. In the Balkans, relatively little heroin is seized, suggesting that the route is exceedingly well organized and lubricated with corruption. Another notable feature of the Balkan route is that some important networks have clan-based and hierarchically organized structures.
after the war of 99, we have a year or two of turbulent times, after which everything began to slowly function democratically. today in kosovo, every minority has its own political party, that means, every minority has a ministry at least, and a few seats in the parliament accordingly to the number of the minority in kosovo, and those are: Serbian minority, Turkish, Bosnian, Goran, Croat, Gypsy and last but not least EGYPTIAN. Egyptians are recognized as a minority in kosovo!
...The meticulously footnoted article sums up the entire Kosovo nightmare in one sentence by saying, "The west was relying on its KLA puppets to rubber-stamp an agreement which would have transformed Kosovo into an occupied territory under Western administration."
In 1997 Interpol declared that Kosovo Albanians hold the largest share of the heroin market in Switzerland, in Austria, in Belgium, in Germany, in Hungary, in the Czech Republic, in Norway and in Sweden.
The image presented by the report was precisely what one can see today - the same structures, the same people, the same disgraceful situation. It is shameful how Europe and the U.S. dealed with that problem.They wanted political results and in a sense a war on that territory, and they turned a blind eye to the KLA's criminal activities, he underscored.
In no time the Albanians displaced the Turks in the heroin business. Armenians and Georgians who supply the raw opium base prefer doing business with Albanians than with Turks. Moreover, Kosovar Albanians who dominate the Albanian Mafia used the proceeds of the heroin sales to buy arms for the anti-Serb guerrilla war in Kosovo. Here the Central Asians can be very helpful. Raiding armories and selling weapons is a multibillion-dollar enterprise in the countries of the former Soviet Union.
According to WCO seizure statistics, Albanians made up the single largest group (32%) of all arrestees for heroin trafficking in Italy between 2000 and 2008. The next identified group was Turks followed by Italians and citizens of Balkan countries (Bulgaria, Kosovo/Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and to some extent Greece). A number of Pakistani and Nigerian traffickers were arrested in Italy as well.
Just an astonishing thing to notice, all those supporting the Albanian cause of gaining Kosovo into its territory on this thread are really incredible, using a lot of profane, and violent language. If you guys want to really discuss this openly, be more polite and charismatic, maybe then people will listen and think you credible. Plus: it's not this guy who deems KLA a terrorist group, but the UN, the USA, and countless other countries too. Be civil. And learn how to type.
Other reports mention a U.S. connection with a member of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army and a close friend of Kosovo Premier Hashim Taci who are believed to have been smuggling up to 150 kilos of heroin and cocaine at a time. These criminals were chummy with a café owner close to the Bondsteel Base and were doing business with the American officers there, Milovan Drecun adds.
According to KFOR secret reports, the clan owns three illegal labs to process heroin. People involved in drug smuggling into Kosovo hold state offices of great importance in the province, says the Serbian military analysts Milovan Drecun in a radio interview with the Voice of Russia, and elaborates. The media talks about the ties that exist between the American military in Kosovo and the local drug dealers, but is it really so?
:( Alexandre del Valle what is saying is not true, not at all. I know pretty well the politics in Balkans and especially in Kosovo and this what he is saying about "Serbs getting killed" in Kosovo in last 10 years is not true at all. Here we see a person, who calls himself "geopolitical" and is paid from Serbia to smoth her plans from Paris. It's too bad this . . remember "I have Serbian friends. . ."
The report, the existence of which has not been previously reported, was widely distributed among all NATO countries, according to former NATO sources interviewed by GlobalPost. And year after year as the nascent democracy of Kosovo struggled to move forward and Thaci rose to political prominence, more detailed allegations and intelligence reports, totaling at least four more between 2000 and 2009, would name Thaci, these sources add.
Albanian groups in particular have such structures, making them particularly hard to infiltrate. This partially explains their continued involvement in several European heroin markets. Albanian networks continue to be particularly visible in Greece, Italy and Switzerland. Italy is one of the most important heroin markets in Europe, and frequently identified as a base of operation for Balkan groups who exploit the local diaspora.
Are you crazy ? Just because there are immigrants in an area it doesn't give them the right to take over. Albanian immigrants swore allegence to the Yugoslav Federation. Can't keep a promise ? Should go back to Albainia. Who are you to say "Serbs don't belong in the Balkans"
Notice how the countering arguments dont get translated. And also notice that the guy that posted this video didnt bother to post the whole debate. Please, this is stupid.
"The Albanian-dominated region of western Macedonia accounts for a disproportionate share of Macedonia's (FYROM) shrinking GDP. This situation has strengthened Albanophobic sentiments among the ethnic Macedonian majority, especially as a great deal of revenue is thought to derive from Albanian narco-terrorism as well as associated gun-running and cross-border smuggling to and from Albania, Bulgaria and the Kosovo province of Serbia.
Michel Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics at the University of Ottawa has written an absolutely brilliant article on the Kosovo war which decimates, in its entirety, the U.S. government's stated version of events and lays bare a plan to re-colonize the region on behalf of Germany and the United States.
Based on my experience, based on the information I have on Kosovo and based on Dick Marty's report, I claim that Kosovo is a mafia state, Arlacchi stressed.When I worked at the UN in 1999 as UNODC Executive Director, I issued a warrant for the situation in Kosovo to be investigated and I submitted the internal report to the UN General Assembly and Secretary General Kofi Annan at the end of the same year.
DICK MARTY IS A PAID NATIONALISTS BIGGOT FROM SERBIA , it was proven with documents that that idiot was getting paid by serbia a million euro a year to speak giberish you fucking idiot
for Gods sake one man said once the hole TRUTH. WORD TO WORD ONLY TRUTH! the official statistics he is refered to ,exist in net! google them all! Salute!
The rise of the Albanian Mafia has been one of the most extraordinary phenomena of the last 10 years. For decades, the bizarre dictatorship of Enver Hoxha had isolated Albanians from the rest of the, world. The demise of Communism, however, had the effect of releasing the nation's pent-up criminal energy....
now you tell me of another country in the ballkans that numbers that many minorities, and did i mention that each minority has the right to study in their own language? each minority has the right to media, TV, RADIO, INTERNET, PRINT, PRESS. I live in Gjilan, and no one needs to take my word for it, just come by if you're near, and you will see for yourself, people here speak freely their own language, whatever that may be, we simply do not care. we are free, and so is every other kosovar.
There is only GREAT EPIRUS and as the whole world know, EPIRUS is a GREEK WORD. You will paint nothing cause you don't have money to buy the paint... First paint your house. If you have one. House albanian standards...
@HolyRevan If you ask this I say ''yes we are ethnic illyrians''...why? 1.we have the same faces and body construct (this was too racist and non-scientific, but i believe it cos i see it...i can distingue an albanian 5 km far) 2.we were always isolated and lived in tribes until WW2 3.mixed marriages have always been disapproved until '90s in albania and still disapproved in kosovo, albanian FYROM and Malesia. 4.....etcetc....
Arlacchi suggested that after Dick Marty's report, the EP should appoint a special rapporteur on behalf of the EU, who would investigate EULEX's work. "Based on my experience, based on the information I have on Kosovo and based on Dick Marty's report, I claim that Kosovo is a mafia state", Arlacchi stressed.
@stevendel that will only happen IF AND ONLY IF ALBANIA is reunited what happenend in 1913 should not have happened for God sakes go ask the british government, they finally accepted their dirty work
When NATO partners Germany and the U.S. decided to drive a stake through Yugoslavia's heart during the heady days of post-Cold War triumphalism, their geopolitical strategy could not have achieved "success" without the connivance, indeed active partnership forged amongst Yugoslavia's nationalist rivals.
...."They used German uniforms, East German weapons and were financed, in part, with drug money. According to Whitley, the CIA was subsequently instrumental in training and equipping the KLA in Albania."
"Since the early 1990s, Bonn and Washington have joined hands in establishing their respective spheres of influence in the Balkans. Their intelligence agencies have also collaborated. According to intelligence analyst John Whitley, covert support to the Kosovo rebel army was established between the CIA and Germany's [BND]ΙThe task to create and finance the KLA was initially given to Germany:
@flyguyinmotion Albanians are not immigrants in the Balkans. They are the only indigenious population along with the Greeks. Serbians came to the Balkans from Eastern Europe. Read a history book and then talk.
@HolyRevan im sure we are not illyrians pure 100%, but every albanian has got illyrian blood, maybe not 100% =) THE IMPORTANT IS THAT WE ARE THEIR SONS AND SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are the only national population in the balkans! For example today greek are 11 millions but there are maybe 5 millions with some ancient greek blood, because there are 2 millions descents of albanian arvanites and 3 millions of aromanians..could this be a nation?! xD
Et ils disent que le kosovo es leur nation.. Ils sont arrivés au 5iem siècles dans les balkans, les albanais avais ces terres depuis bien plus longtemps et en plus il on perdu la guerre contre l'empire ottoman.. D'où ils doivent avoir le kosovo ?
@metropolitani NO, I wonder if you know anything of history. The teritory has gone back and forth a few time in the last couple centuries. Most recently when Italians invaded during WW2 and allowed ALbainians to occupy Serbian homes. Tito did not allow most Serbs to return after the war. There were a few shifts before that as a result of the two Balkan wars before WW1. Don't tell me I know nothing. And I never swore at you. Shows how leterate and intellegent you are.
I owe no one, nothing. I have no loans pending or what so ever. And I DO HAVE MONEY. Tell me about your economy. Tell me about your unemployment. Tell me about your state.
@stevendel Because serbs are not from Russia and Albanians are not from Europe they came from Asia, also serbs didnt come from nowhere these were serbian lands from since they could rember, while you were brought here by the Byzantines to fight as mercenaries. But nevermind Ideas like Great Albania or Great Serbia can never happen so dream on....
@Odin74M im not racist and just a nationalist albanian. I believe in a Great europe State formed by free ethnic Nations where Albanians could live together with their culture and traditions ;) the same for the Serbs, Bosniaks, Croatians and Montenegrins...also Euskadi, Catalonia, Tyrol, Scotland, Wales, Corsica, Sardinia etc. Every ethnic group has to be independent and united !
Sorry you knows a lot of things,a lot of serbian lies,Italy did not alow Albanians to occupy a Serbian homes,coz those homes were on Albanians property taken by serbs colonizer wich came from Vojvodina for exampel colonizators created a village Vitomirica near the Peja City.And Tito did dedicion to not alow them was just temporary,and after that colonizer were back,most of them reuse to go back in Kosovo coz of economic condtions.
And u think Serbs or other nations of balkan are less humans than u albanians? U may have 450 older bones than greeks , but that does not make u bigger human.
oh please Myth of Greater Albania? why don't you give the facts about 1913?????? let's not talk about earlier centuries If you want to talk about the facts give out all of the facts don't bs about minority crap, look at Serbia and Greece than talk about Albania we harm no one, if you pick on us of course we are not going to stand like statues.
@metropolitani So, you don't think the Italians aided the Albanian expansion and Tito didn't stop Serbs from going home after WW2 ? Those are Serbian lies I guess ? I'm sure many of the things you say are true, but I also think you may some some details wrong. Influence of sources can distort the information as you well know.
I owe nothing and I pay nothing. I have no debts. Now since when albanians are talking about money?! Don't you know that you are the poorest state in Europe (or should I say Africa)?
Wow this guy is so biased! How do you try to make a point by starting off and admiring that you have a big biased because you have very close friends which are Serbian wow
@metropolitani So, you don't think the Italians aided the Albanian expansion and Tito didn't stop Serbs from going home after WW2 ? Those are Serbian lies I guess ? I'm sure many of the things you say are true, but I also think you may some some details wrong. Influence of sources can distort the information as you well know.
