Kosovars stone Czech pro-Serbian campaign bus

[INAT]

Pristina, May 22 (CTK) - A group of Kosovo Albanians threw stones at a bus with Czech university students and petition committee members campaigning in the country against the recognition of Kosovo's independence on Wednesday afternoon, but nobody was injured during the incident, the members said.
The stone attack occurred near the town of Decani.
The bus also brought humanitarian aid for Kosovo Serbs.
After visiting the Visoki Decani monastery, the campaigners now plan to organise a demonstration against the Czech government's decision to recognise Kosovo's independence made on Wednesday, Adrijana Markesevic from the Association of Serbian-Czech Friendship told Serbian radio B92.
The protest is to be organised in Kosovska Mitrovica in which both ethnic Serbs and Albanians live.

So if I understand this correctly the Czech government recognizes Kosovo-Metohija as a seperate Albanian country a bus full of Czechs travels
down there and the very people who should say thanks instead respond with stone throwing and violence?
That just seems like the wrong message to send to a government that
sided with you.

Do you have a swastika tattooed on your body?

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. What a douche tat. "VUCICEVIC" (which I assume is your surname) how fitting for a Nazi...oh wait...

Geez, just took a look at his profile

"Occupation

Lord help us if this kid is a future leader of international relations.

[Rynnäkkökivääri]

While this wasn't smart, it isn't a reflection of all Albanians so the nazi can shut the **** up.

[Lov3ll]

I'm sure it's just the Buddhist symbol and we're all ignorant for thinking it's the Nazi swastika etc. :roll:

[Mate]

It doesen`t surprise me at all,especially in the region around Deqan.
Thank God no one was hurt.

That just seems like the wrong message to send to a government that
sided with you.I think that the people throwing the stones were aware that the bus was full of Pro-Serbian Czechs rather than your run of the mill Czech tourists. I think the message they were sending was f##k off back home.

[V.I.D.]

Bacilluspolymyxa, so, your explanation makes this act somehow justified? Very nice customs, indeed.

I'm also curious as to what Mate meant with bringing up Decani area? That the local populations there is angry at the idea that old Serbian medieval monastery has to be guarded continously by KFOR?

[Mate]

Nevermind...........

[delio]

I don't think this is justified, but it does boggles the mind that INAT thinks the Kosovar Albanians should have thank them instead. I mean, I bet you if a group of pro-Kosovo independence Czech go about doing what this Czech did, but in the middle of Serb populated Kosovo instead -say northern Mitrovica, the reaction they would get would be about the same. The local populace certainly would not be thank for their activism.

[V.I.D.]

OK Mate, my last sentence was uncalled for and I should not have wrote it here, but I honestly do not get your reference to Decani. Is there something specific to the area I am not aware of?

Yeah, a siege doesn't work if you let people bring supplies and aide in.

Did you miss the point or what? The Albanians should thank the Czech government for recognizing Kosovo-Metohija as a seperate state taken from Serbian territory.To say that yeah but if it was the other way around Serbs would do the same does not make this acceptable as that is not the situation.

@ond26 What is your point with showing a 9 year old map? If your point was to show that there were much more Serbs living in Kosovo in 1999 than today you are correct. This is a western source map today
a democraphic change that radical does not happen just from a war alomst a decade age.

That just seems like the wrong message to send to a government that
sided with you.See it now? You said they should have thanked the pro-Serbian Czech activists, not the Czech government, as you now claiming.


To say that yeah but if it was the other way around Serbs would do the same does not make this acceptable as that is not the situation...and I've already stated about as much in the comment you quoted above.

Don't be a foolio I know what I said and I never said they should have thanked the people in the bus(you misunderstood).I know what I said and don't need you to clear it up for me.After all so what? Stupid argument.

[delio]

They weren't throwing stone at the Czech government. They were throwing stone at the pro-Serbian Czech activists, so in you're first post you were definitely implying as much. If that's what really meant to say, than I'd understand and thank you for clarifying.

:cantbeli:Are you serious or are you f*cking with me? Obviously they were not throwing stones at the Czech government come on.

The people they should instead say thanks to rather than stone are ALL Czechs my pont was the stone throwers could have let the Czechs go in peace since their government sided with Albanians.:roll:

[Vympel]

those stones are unique!

[Abbadon the Despoiler]

you cant blame people for their government decisions plus the bus was carrying humanitarian aid therefore those attackers were bunch of idiots. its ****ing stupid to attack someone with other views but thats the way things goes outthere I guess...

[INAT]

you cant blame people for their government decisions-Do you mean Czechs?

therefore those were bunch of idiots-Who which group the bus people or stone people.

Yeah there is....people that live in that are "different",there`s a saying especially for that place:"In Deqan the cows eat you,you can imagine how the people are".It sounds more funny in Albanian :).

Your`e right...there`s nothing more to say.

OK, now that makes sense. I've never heard of it before.

[Lokos]

VUCICEVIC, you shame us all with those swastikas. Disgusting.

Lokos

[V.I.D.]

Now, Lokos, with all due respect I have toward your knowledge and intelligence, why would you feel ashamed by the action of some moronic immigrant kid who simply happened to be born into Serbian stock (presumably judging from his last name)? It's a whole different story to be a decent human
being and a Serb, like those in the past.

[KET]

Going to Decan is not very wise action in itself... let alone with a pro-Serbian campagin bus.

Gotta love the politics:

"U.S. unhappy with Kosovo's lobbying efforts" 26 May 2008 | 13:23 | Source: FoNet PRIŠTINA -- Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of State Rosemary DiCarlo says the U.S. is unsatisfied with the work of the Kosovo’s institutions in the lobbying process.

DiCarlo is understood to have said during a recent visit to Kosovo that “part of the joint plan between the United States and Kosovo was to achieve 97 recognitions by September.

After that, Kosovo was supposed to apply for a membership of the UN General Assembly”, an unnamed source told Television Kosovo.

According to the source, that plan might fall through owing to the relatively small number of countries that have recognized Kosovo and the inefficiency of the Kosovo government, writes Priština daily Koha Ditore.

I doubt that any of them was remotely thinking about what kind of message is sending, as people in Balkans rarely do (just look at the post below yours), but it doesn't matter anyway - Czech government knew who are they dealing with since the very begining, few stones won't do any harm.
