Kosovo a condition for Serbia’s “EU accession”

Jul 22, 2010

Serbia was told by the EU that there is no separation between Serbia’s position on Kosovo and Serbia’s EU membership.

In clear terms, sources say, top officials of Belgium told Serbia’s President Tadic that Kosovo and Serbia’s EU membership are not separate issues.

Tadic was told by the Belgian officials that granting Serbia the status of candidate country would depend on Belgrade’s moves concerning Kosovo.

Belgian officials said that the EU could seek from the European Commission an opinion on Serbia’s candidacy for membership no sooner than in December.

The European Commission opinion has thus far been a “technical matter” but the signals indicate that the opinion will depend on Serbia’s acceptance of EU’s diktat on Kosovo.

EU is not demanding that Serbia immediately recognize Kosovo but is demanding that Serbia does not seek a UN Resolution that seeks talks on status of Serbia’s Kosovo province.

Sources have said last night that EU may have forwarded a draft resolution to Belgrade in which status talks are not even mentioned.

Serbian news agency Beta, could not confirm that EU has sent such document to Belgrade.

Sources say that EU may seek to organize a meeting between Belgrade and ethnic Albanian separatists in Kosovo not to talk status but other issues of “common interest”.

Ethnic Serbs are killed and brutalized almost daily and EU and the US have never developed a policy to put a stop to the Albanian attacks on Serbs.

Tadic however has stated that he expects Serbia’s EU integration to be accelerated in autumn.

“The extension and the creation of an artificial deadline for Serbia’s EU accession after 2020 is not an option for the country. Every plan that envisages that this will happen after 2020 is unrealistic,” Tadic said.

As recently as several months ago, Serbia’s “EU accession” was dated by 2014.

Tadic said that he believes that the EU still wants the Western Balkans to become part of the EU.

Belgian Ambassador to Belgrade Denise De Hauwere has alleged that Kosovo has never been a condition for Serbia’s membership in the EU.

She however added it is necessary that Serbia has good “neighborly relations” with Kosovo, before it becomes an EU member.

“For Serbia, it is important to establish good cooperation with Kosovo and that a lasting modus vivendi be found,” Hauwere said.

    Seriously, how can Serbia have good neighborly relations with a country run by thugs? It would be nice to see the equivalent of Tadic and Josipovic on the Albanian side. Are there any Albanians that are up for the task?

    The Hague International Court serves the EULEX/NATO KFOR Mission, along with former UNMIK, this is totally absurd and breaks UN Resolution 1244, sovereignty is threatened worldwide because now the deathnell to public opinion and or opposition, as dark and stoic as fascism. This is the path of America as we’re now in the crosshairs of the Fourth Reich (EU/NATO-Norfolk/UN-New York) The ruling lacks any moral scruples and common sense to allow Kosovo to be raped from Serbia is like trying to annex Jerusalem from Israel, who wouldn’t be upset.

    How can you have good neighbour relations with yourself. Kosovo is not a “state” in any sense of the word. It is still a province govern by the UN in the official sense. You have gangsters running the territory and nothing more. EU ascension is a poison pill, let the belgians choke on it.

    At the closing of the most recent Belgian parliament session, a Flemish sympathizer yelled out, “Die, Belgium, die”; and historically Belgium was the creation of the British, with the support of the Dutch and the Hapsburgs; but certainly not the Walloons, nor the Flemish.
    So, to quote a former President, “Bring it on!”. The sooner, the better; and bring down the EU with it!

    A while ago I remember EU pressing Serbia to accept and permit ‘Gay Parades’…..
    Anybody who thinks that EU brings prosperity for the people and respect for the sovereignty of his country, better see how Greece ended up, having all the great prospects that Greek people had with EU regarding development, social justice and National Security against the agresion of Turkey, falling to pieces and drive Greek people disapointed in the hands of IMF.
    Serbia should think twice before joining the EU.

    So here we have it,after all the crawling and groveling at the feet of the 4th Reich some jumped up Belgian official tells tadic what some of us always knew,if he had any balls he would tell them to shove it where the sun don’t shine,when will the Serbs sweep these quislings from power and start the fight back?

    So Tadic was fooling everyone. NO EU if no acceptance of Kosovo.
    I wonder how many Serbs are pro EU now.

    Well, it is quite clear that “international law” is anything that the United States of America and its European Union running dogs say it is.

    This ruling will have effects all over the world for separatists.
    In London more than 50% of all births are now to immigrant mothers, and an increasing amount are to non-Europeans. It’s only a matter of time until the non-Europeans with their alien culture become a majority. It will then be poetic justice when the majority of these immigrants declare independence for the newly created state of Londonistan. I just hope I am not around to see it when it happens.

    It is against the Constitution, I believe, for any US state to secede. How shameful then that they force this upon another country. Double standards, but only to be expected.

  13. Serbia will never be a member of EU,
    and fight and sacrifice Herself in WAR for the EU.

    EU – THE MERCHANTS OF TARSIS WITH ALL ITS YOUNG LIONS – in the 3rd World War -

    Hesekiel chapter 38-39.
    Hesekiel chapter 38 vers -

    13Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, “Art thou come to despoil us? Hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?”‘

    Sheba is YEMEN and Dedan is SAUDIARABIA !!!..

    EU the first beast – Sheba and Dedan the second,

    Revelation 13 (21st Century King James Version)

    And I stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

    2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

    3And I saw that one of his heads was, as it were, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered after the beast.

    4And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

    5And there was given unto him a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

    6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in Heaven.

    7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

    8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world.

    9If any man have an ear, let him hear:

    10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity. He that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

    11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.

    12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him; and he causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

    13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.

    14And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and lived.

    15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the image of the beast.

    16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads,

    17that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.

    18Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.

    Serbia and rest of the World – BEVERE OF THE EU.

    Aquilia.
