KOSOVO I METOHIJA E TERITORI SERBE
Another conflict created by America and the North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation
Serbia should never be permitted to join EU, simply to close to Adolf Putin & Russia
Serbian troops returning to it's stolen province is not invasion, rather liberation
Worked for a year and a half in KFOR. When it was looked at the number of escapes that you refer to. The same size was given to KFOR, but it did not fit in with population numbers before the war. It turns out that this number came from a reuters news release. Which again came from numbers provided Serbian authorities. The basis for the figures was entry and exit at the border point, not the number of individuals actually passing.
Im from Serbia and you making this video worries me deeply!
At least we might get more turbo hate folk music.
By the way, true reasons lie behind huge organised crime there, run by both sides. Organ trading and drugs. Probably other things too, noone there wants status quo to change except regular ordinary civilians (on both sides)
Now the borders are not important again, no? 🙂
Okay, okay lets not forget that Kosovo, up until 2008 was part of Serbia. There are significant historical ties to the land; one of which is where the battle between the Serbs and Turkish forces. This is significant because Serbia was occupied by the Turks for over 500 years. The northern part of Kosovo is primarily an ethnic Serb population. Sometimes they don't feel safe. I can tell you personally that if you drive through any other parts of Kosovo with Serbian car plates, all your tires will be slashes. The Serbs there want to be able to vote in Serbian elections and want to be part of Serbia. The declaration of independence of Kosovo is not internationally recognized (especially by China and Russia). If the logic behind allowing Kosovo to declare its own independence holds any weight, then by that same logic, Northern Kosovo should be annexed to Serbia to prevent further violence and ongoing tensions.
It really started with NATO entering Serbian territory. With that precedent in place, everything goes. If international law is selectively applied, it may as well not exist. We live in sad times…
Also Serbia has extremely close ties to Russia. It's evident just walking the streets of Belgrade. The conflict between Serbia and Kosovo IS a dumpster fire. An 11 year old boy and 21 year old man being shot in Kosovo last Orthodox Christmas by a Kosovo Security Force member. That didn't help. Its a dumpster fire that results when the west drives two groups of people towards living together in peace that will never truly be at peace.
Kosovo is Serbia.
As somebody who is half Croatian half Serbian, that whole region is poisoned and will never have long peace.
Kosovo belongs to albanians and i dont get where serbs get their propaganda stuff that its their holy land when clearly is not
It would have been more accurate if you mentioned the systematic oppression and discrimination Serbs have had to endure in Kosovo and Metohija province, including murder, shootings, beatings, unwarranted arrests and so on.. in order to get a better background into what lead up to tensions. Second thing you got wrong was describing the battle between armed Serbs and so called Kosovo police as, "a sort of battle not seen in the region for decades", when we know the Albanian terrorists had a war like uprising against the Macedonian military and police just a few years ago…
You should worry about UK , soon you ate going to have sharia there 🙂
Kosovo is Serbia.
May i ask, why you don't mention the 11 year old serbian boy who got shot by Kosovo albanian police in January 2023. It was Christmas and he shot the boy out of a driving vehicle. His Name is Stefan Stojanovic and his 21 year old Cousin Milos Stojanovic was also been shot at. Doesn't fit your interest i guess?!
Ngadal eshte duke hyr ne kurthen europiane serbia. O do bej siq don europa dhe te jet krah europes pergjithmon dhe ta harroj dashnin me rusin kinen koren veriore indin etj. Ose opcioni i dyt do ishte shperberja e serbis prej gjeografis, do dukej shum ndryshe sesi eshte tani. Ky eshte mendimi im. 😊😂
Your analysis is very biased. But that is to be expected. I see a lot of Youtubers that suddenly became experts in Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Palestina, now Kosovo… The thing is, I know much more about Kosovo history than an average viewer, so I know there must be a reason why this emergence of experts is happening now.
I sense a presence 😉
Oh, yes… Unsubscribe.
Kosovo is not a country 😂
I was watching Croatian HRT national television a few days ago, where military experts from Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro spoke about Serbia and the role president Vucic plays in all of this. They stated that Serbia is the most potent of all the Balkan nations with around 9 milion Serbs living close around the borders of Serbia especially within the Republic of Srpska region and how Vucic exploits these people via the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Now, they also spoke that Serbia has been relentlessly arming itself from 2011, and that they have the resources in oil, military equipment, and manpower to fight major regional war on 5 to 6 fronts. They claim this on the ability of Serbs to mobilize themselves because when Kosovo war broke out about 2.2 million Serbs from Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Croatia and Serbia called up voluntarily to take the arms.
They also stated that Serbia is expecting 55 new generation Suhkoi's from Russia that they ordered back in 2017, and they got additional 190 T-55 tanks from Russia as well. So in reality nobody knows with how many tanks they have as the estimates range anywhere between 500 to 2.500. It's virtually impossible to check this as Serbian military is a huge mystery even for domestic experts.
But the biggest problem of them all is the Serbian military industry which is in terms of armored vehicles, artillery among the very best in the world, as they are constantly equipping the military by the orders of president Vucic.
These experts from Croatia state that Serbia currently has about 160.000 soldiers, and about 400.000 reservists but they also claim that they have 100.000 additional forces through Police because Serbian police are among the most armed polices in the world.
They also claim that president of Rep. of Srpska, Milorad Dodik, was arming the Bosnian Serbs and that currently they have put about 80.000 ppl under arms there too. Which means that Serbia could easily do what they did back in the 90's. They mobilize 500.000 people, send 100.000 to the north in Vojvodina to keep the borders with Hungary, Croatia and Romania checked, rest they put in central Serbia from where they can easily get to either Kosovo, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia.
So Serbia is preparing for an all out war against the Albanians. This is very very true.
Serbia, which was formerly part of the now-dissolved Yugoslavia, has a historical record of involvement in conflicts with other ethnic groups, particularly in relation to independence movements in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia. These conflicts resulted in ethnic cleansing and violent confrontations. Serbia experienced defeats in wars against Slovenia and Croatia, and in Bosnia, it led to the establishment of Republika Srpska following the tragic massacre in which over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims were killed. Later, in 1999, Serbia also attempted ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians, who constituted the majority, before Kosovo declared its independence in 2008. Montenegro, previously part of Serbia, achieved its independence in 2006 with the aim of becoming a sovereign state. It is crucial for Serbia to be mindful of the risks associated with provoking further conflicts and destabilization in the Balkan region, as this could impact its future position and relationships with neighboring countries.
Kosovo is not a part of Serbia. Serbia was a constituent of the former Yugoslavia, and following its dissolution, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo emerged as independent states. It is worth noting that Montenegro, too, was previously a part of Serbia and gained independence as a separate state, mirroring Kosovo's path. The region is home to more than 1.9 million Kosovo Albanians.
It was not an unlawful action; there were justifiable reasons behind it. Serbia chose to engage in illegal warfare in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo with the intent of ethnic cleansing, solely due to differences in ethnicity. Let us not forget that Serbia, part of Yugoslavia at the time, bore responsibility for acts of genocide and the deaths of over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims. The Milosevic regime had similar intentions, leading NATO to opt for military intervention to halt Serbia's actions.
Kosovo Albanians constituted the majority of the population, even within the former Yugoslavia, where they faced suppression by Yugoslavia and the Milosevic regime primarily because of their distinct language.
I was on vacation in Albania last year as Serb,with my wife being pregnant. I have no eords to descrube how warm and welcoming people have been toward us…Albanians and Serbs does not hate eachother,its politics,and few manipulated people that starts fire…we ,younger people,must dind way to live in peace,despite warmongers on both sides.Cheers ✌️
Kosovo is Serbia from Poland 🇵🇱🇷🇸🇵🇱🇷🇸
Thank you for the great video informing other people about this problem in this Region of my home country Serbia ♥️
As a Kosovo Albanian i can say this Video was very factual, even though im a Kurti supporter and you criticized him a lot. But i dont think Serbia ever dares to invade Kosovo, not because of us Albanians because im pretty sure we couldnt handle Serbia alone, but because of the Nato troops. Especially the American, British and Turkish ones. And btw Kosovo would agree to the Association and the Ohrid Agreement if it included recognition, which Vucic has promised it people it wont ever do. Europe is trying to soften Serbia not to ally so much with Russia, but its going wrong.
Build walls and ignore eachother. Everyone is acting like they’re in a spiteful marriage when it comes to “ foreign policy “
Why lies 13000 kosovar killed? Are you insane? Nato bombed Yugoslavia and suported terrorist so called KlA.. you know nothing..
