Should Kosovo be allowed to join Europe ? (46)

I posted about 2 weeks ago what would consitude a brief attempt of an oppinion on this subject, only to realize later that some subjects are better left to each one of us to make what we want out of them.

Of course, everyone has the right to an oppinion and the forums serve us all in the exchange of those oppinions between us. But lets not forget that there are subjects, such as this, that are very sensitive for some people - especially those that are involved in it - like Albanians and Serbs. I would also add Macedonians, Greeks and Bulgarians for other reasons that they would understand. For people that do not have a conection to the region, it's just an oppinion and they express it, but for the people that live with this daily, it is the hurtfull new world order that lives outside any sense of justice and international law.

In this matters, facts deriving from history are facts. They are there, subject to interpratation though and each one of us can go study them and learn them. Yes, Mataselo, i know very well my Balkan and world war history as not only have i studied them vigorously but i have also lived briefly in Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and now Romania - and i speak some of those languages. I also have a few litterate friends from these countries with whom i discuss these things. I should add that you cannot learn about this things from google and wikipedia, it will be a futile effort that will only give you the half-knowledge required to go on pompously insulting people with what you dont know.

If the "sense of justice" some people are promoting here were to prevail in all of the region then we should be justifully having:
- Greece invading and occupiyng/annexing half the FYROM up to Veles, 15% of Albania just beyond the Ohrid lake, 30 miles north of the Bulgarian border and definately into Turkey to Instabul (kosntantinoupoli) and all the Turkish coast line down to Izmir (Smyrni) and beyond.
-Serbia should be holding 40% of the north Albania, all of the FYROM and parts of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
-Bulgaria should have moved south as down as Thesalonika, taking 20% of of Greece's territory, the east 50% of the FYROM and the Turkish part of Thrake.
And thats just mentioning some.
Or, they could start occupiyng these areas (as it seems to be more acceptable in the modern era of *free information movement*, then have their settlers start troubles so they could come to the rescue. Something like this happened in 1974.

These were the "Great ideas" of those nations in the beggining of the privious century. After countless bloodsheds, wars, crimes in that region, including 2 World Wars, international treaties were brought forward that state the borders of each country and bound the international community to protect the territorial integrity of the UN countries - up and foremost.

What happened with Kosovo is a clear, definite breach and dissolvment of the resolutions that were forged on countless bodies during the previous century. It opens Aeolus's bags for all the region and the wind shall blow on us all in the years to come. There were many other forms of resolutions that could have been implemented in this case, such as a loose form of confederation.

But noooooo, that would seriously hamper the interest of Great wee-wee G.W.Bush - who by the way is unwelcome to all balkan countries except for Albania. He goes to greece/serbia/etc and is greeted with molotov bombs and rotten tomatoes. He goes to Albania and is greated with hugs and kisses (ok, they also stole his Rolex, but so what? )

and one final comment concerning the OP:

The principal question was wether we would like Kossovo to join the EU.

realistically, it is going to join the EU one way or another. It's common sense. But I, ME, do not have to like it; and i don't.

The european union was founded and stands for acceptance of cultural differences, in a common environment. Heck, the EU itself is progressing towards integration and the creation of a big Federation of so many countries with different cultures / languages / etc.

WHY should i be happy to admit a "country" (i.e. Kossovo) in the EU that is in direct opposition to everything that EU stands for? And it is a shame for the EU that they did this (recognizing kossovo) because the nullify everything THEY stand for: They could have pushed for a federation or cofederation between kosovars and serbs, like the ones used all over the EU AND by the EU it self.

LOL! Fine by me; I still have several World Identity Cards in multiple languages and UN issued Stateless Passports issued back in the 70's under different names and some still blank! (I kept them and my old "Get out of jail cards" from various Intelligence agencies and Interpol, in the event of a "rainy day"..%D )
