EU agrees on Kosovo mission


 Are they mad?

Or is this an intentional attempt to  cause Serbia to react to an invasion of its sovereign territory in a way that will justify even more EU meddling?

Just imagine if the EU announced today that it was going to send thousands of ‘police’ to the Isle of Wight, against the wishes of the United Kingdom.  Would we not be outraged? Would we not instruct our armed forces to go and remove them?

Yet Serbia, is supposed to accept such a move as a ‘Fait accompli’ without so much as a murmur of protest.

Serbia will no doubt react to this provocation, as the cynical puppet masters of the EU intend it to, despite their protestations that the move is designed to, ’strengthen stability in the region and ensure that Kosovo’s future settlement observes democratic standards’.

At the best of times the Balkans is a tinder box that others should stay away from, do these meddlers not remember that it was events in Sarajevo that sparked the WWI?

Be assured, they are playing with fire by making this decision, and that fire could engulf us all!

 Read on for more information:

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS – The European Union has given the political green-light to a 1,800-strong police and civilian mission to be deployed in Serbia’s breakaway region of Kosovo, although differences remain over the possible recognition of Kosovo’s independence.

“This is the clearest signal that the European Union could possibly give that it intends to lead on the whole issue of Kosovo’s future, its status and its role in the region”, Portuguese prime minister Jose Socrates - whose country currently holds the EU presidency - said on Friday (14 December), after EU leaders agreed the move on the European Security and Defence Policy mission (ESDP).

According to French president Nicolas Sarkozy, “Europe has saved its unity on the question of Kosovo”.

German chancellor Angela Merkel, for her part, said she had “not expected” a decision when she came to the summit Friday morning, while the country’s foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier added that the decision was “the real news this evening”.

However, it remains unclear when precisely the EU’s mission, consisting of 1,800 policemen, prosecutors and judges, can be deployed on the ground.

While Luxembourg’s Jean Asselborn said the mission would be deployed “just after Christmas [2007]“, Bulgarian foreign minister Ivailo Kalfin indicated a less ambitious time-frame - “before the end of the summer [2008]“.

According to Slovakia’s foreign minister Jan Kubis, the specifics of the mission should be concluded in January next year, after a round of consultations with the UN body.

The EU mission - designed to strengthen stability in the region and ensure that Kosovo’s future settlement observes democratic standards - will be legally based on current UN Resolution 1244.

The same resolution introduced the UN administration over the Serbian province back in 1999.

The costs are estimated at €165 million just for the first year of its presence.

However, EU leaders continue to be divided over the mooted “coordinated” declaration of independence of Kosovo.

Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain have all reiterated their concerns over such a move - each of them worried by possible consequences for their own countries.

Portugal’s Jose Socrates stressed that the fact the EU is sending a mission to Kosovo does not mean that the bloc is ready to recognise the province’s independence.

According to president of Cyprus Tassos Papadopoulos “the fate of Kosovo must be an agreed solution with the Serbs. If not, it must be a resolution by the Security Council. That’s the only accepted path”.

Divisions on Serbia
The summit also highlighted the persistent divisions among member states concerning whether to link the further integration of Serbia with the arrest of remaining war crimes suspects, notably general Ratko Mladic.

Last week, outgoing UN chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte called on the EU not to sign a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) - the first step to EU membership - with Belgrade unless it arrests the general charged with genocide and war crimes.

Some countries, such as the Netherlands, support this stance, but others insist that Serbia’s SAA should be signed even if general Mladic is not arrested, provided that Serbia presents enough proof that it has done all it can to capture him.

Bulgarian prime minister Sergei Stanishev called on “some European countries” to show more solidarity and comprehension with member states geographically close to Serbia - such as Bulgaria itself, who have an interest in Serbia’s European future becoming a reality as soon as possible.

Bulgaria hopes the SAA with Belgrade could be signed at the end of January and called for more flexibility on the issue of capturing the war crimes suspects.

In their conclusions following the meeting, EU leaders encouraged Serbia to “meet the necessary conditions to allow its SAA rapidly to be signed” and “reiterated [their] confidence that progress on the road towards the EU, including candidate status, can be accelerated”.

They stopped short of making a specific reference to the condition of cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal.

  1. Well, this is really a bad news for Serbia. As much as each and every one of us(Serbs) feel Kosovo as a significant part of not only our country, but history, culture and religion, after all these years we simply have no strength to fight radical Albanian muslims but also NATO forces protecting that soon-to-be puppet islamic state. With this agreement this issue is all but over. Are fellow Europeans decided that they want to lead Kosovos’ separation from Serbia and there’s nothing more we can do. WE, the Serbs, KNOW THAT EU IS CREATING NEW AFGANISTAN, this time in the heart of Europe, but if that’s what the EU wants that’s what EU will get. Same people were fighting on the side of Bosnian muslims, Albanian muslims and Taliban forces, two of them crash themselves into World Trade Center on 9/11(FBI Official Report on 9/11!). But we’ve been bombed and humiliated so many times in last 15 years from the side of our fellow European Christians on the pre text of “protecting innocent(!) Muslims all over Europe”, that we simply have no more power to fight for our land and our people in Kosovo. And what’s the use. If we were to send as much as one soldier on Kosovo, Belgrade would be bombed that same night. So very soon you will be welcoming new Islamic state in the heart of Europe. Greet them with a raised eyebrow or a broad smile, but learn who they are and what they are fighting for. US fought on the side of Talebans in Afganistan in 80′ only to witness them crushing into their buildings two decades later. Good people of Britain, be careful, be very careful of this new European state, because it was built by islamic fundamentalism, mafia and on torturing, killing but also on bombing Christians all over Serbia. Finally it’s good to see that there are still a lot of true British patriots who do not blindly follow the likes of BBC, CNN, SKY and others and who can think for themselves. Not for the sake of Serbia, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF BIRITAIN! I wish all of you and your party best of luck fore you’re probably the only ones who can save true British values and true British way of life and, more importantly, I’m afraid that you’re the only ones who can save Britain because Labour and Tories are too politically correct and too dependent on muslim money to see how their own great country is crumbling under the force of new “British” islam. God bless you, stay well and grow ever more powerful.

  2. I posted this on another article (Serbia warns EU not to send Mission To Kosovo) regarding the imminent attempted betrayal of Kosovo and Serbia by the west but think this article as appropriate and more up to date:
    I winged an email off to the office of the Serbian Ambassador in London recently to let them know how much the majority of normal people here and in Europe, hate the EU with a passion. Ignore Europe and the wretched EU carrot of membership and stick with Russia, your natural ally, I added. I did not expect and did not get an acknowledgement or reply. Suspect he’s somewhat busy trying to do his bit to save his Country while we in the EU and the US try to take it apart. I would not want to be an Albanian if the Russians come to town - not that the Serbs need the Russians as long as NATO minds its own business. I know the Russians aren’t everybody’s idea of an ally but they were ours once. They look after their own and their friends - and more important, know how to deal with their enemies. Keep your friends close but the Russians closer comes to mind. It worked for us in WW2, a war we would never have won without them - if we did in fact win it, looking at us now. Kosovo is as much a part of Serbia as Kent is to Britain, I read recently. I’m glad the writer did not say, Bradford, Oldham, Luton etc. If we don’t watch out, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will seem like the proverbial walk in the park compared to what the Balkans can serve up.
    God Bless you and your Country too Dragisa Krgovic. Perhaps the Battle of Britain and destruction of Europe is about to begin in Serbia instead of Poland following the rape of Kosovo instead of the Sudetanland/Chequeslovakia. We need another Churchill and FAST.

  3. I was having a lorra lorra (love Priscilla WHITE) trouble finding some acceptable words to say on the latest allowancesgate gravy train article and the money hungry perverted swine that frequent The Houses of Sodom and Gomorrah.

    Sometimes less is more, so I thought I would move swiftly on and talk about the crap that’s been on bbc, sky, a n other channel (as we use to say in the mil) about the latest Army ‘brutality’ in that musrathole IRAQ.

    The air time they have given this today is in sharp contrast to that given when British Forces lose their lives in unimaginable ways.

    What is it about this country’s media of ours, that we can stab the whole military in the back over some musrats getting roughed up (rightly or wrongly) when our own guys and gals are getting blown to smithereens out there?? It’s the coverage they give to this crap that beggars belief.

    I posted the following on the Nailing Labour’s Lies article the other night. Posting it here in a vain attempt to put the ‘roughing up’ of Iraqi musrats into some sort of perspective:

    Today, 25 year old Christian, Corporal (Cpl) Darryl Gardiner, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) serving with 5th Regiment Royal Artillery (5 Regt RA) was murdered by muslims near Musa Qala, in Afghanistan

    His family released a short statement that they were “deeply proud that Darryl served his Country”. Darryl leaves a heartbroken girlfriend, Lucy.

    With the niceties out of the way, I thought the ‘Nailing Labour’s Lies’ article was the perfect one to post this. This time yesterday, Darryl was alive and had his whole life still in front of him - Lucy, children? For reasons we cannot begin to comprehend, ‘God has ordered his discharge’ - to borrow a line from author Sven Hassell: Finnish Commander Of The Mannerheim Order.

    Sven hassell was a brave soldier who barely survived Nazi German tyranny; Darryl Gardiner was a brave soldier who did not survive Nazi Labour tyranny.

    Let us all spare a moment, that as we got up this morning, so did Cpl Darryl Gardiner - to slip the surly bonds of earth…and touch the face of God.
