UN Police, NATO, Clash with Serbs in Kosovo
Posted on March 17, 2008 - Filed Under Kosovo, Serbia |
The UN Police and NATO peacekeepers attempted to take back a UN courthouse that has been occupied by Serbs since Friday. The plan ended in failure and the withdrawal on UN police from the vicinity. The town of Mitrovica became the latest flashpoint in conflict over Kosovo’s declaration of independence.
According to Reuters, “The rioting was a challenge to the authority of NATO, the United Nations and a fledgling European Union justice mission, underscoring fears that Kosovo could be heading for ethnic partition exactly one month after breaking away from Serbia. Reuters witnesses in the town reported hearing gunfire as hundreds of Serbs clashed with the NATO peacekeeping force KFOR, and with U.N. police.”
At dawn UN police working in conjunction with NATO peacekeepers sought to evict Serbs that had overtaken a UN court on Friday. Fighting back, hundreds of Serbs used stones, grenades and firecrackers. Rioters destroyed three UN vehicles, breaking doors and freeing around 10 of those detained in the raid, witnesses said.
“After attacks with explosive devices suspected to be hand grenades, and firearms, the police are ordered to withdraw from the north of Mitrovica, while the situation will be taken over by KFOR,” a U.N. police statement said.
The Prime Minister of Serbia, Slobodan Samardzic, was indigent that such an assault took place. “Disregarding everything, they (U.N. and KFOR) carried out this action and provoked the citizenry,” he said. “We had an agreement not to undertake any action before I go to Mitrovica,” he told the Serbian state news agency Tanjug.

Let me paint you a picture. In 10 years Latinos gain an 80%-90% majority in the American Southwest. In 15 years those Latinos decide that their best interest can no longer be served by remaining a part of the United States, and they attempt to break away. Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Cuba, Venezuela, and other Latin coutries support this move diplomatically and monetarily. The US government rejects this immediately and sends in soldiers to protect its sovereignty. In the areas of the Southwest, ethnic Americans and latinos have formed militias which are fighting each other in the streets and countryside of the west. Attrocities are commited by both sides in the conflict. After months of heavy fighting, the latin groups begin to lose. News of attrocities commited against latinos reach the international press community. The EU, backed by the UN dicides to intervene. The United States is bombed for days by Germany, Russia, France, Spain, etc. American assets over seas are seized by foreign governments. Our western infrastructure (interstates, highways, railroads) is wrecked and large parts of the country are without power or clean water. Finally a ceasefire is negotiated. American troops are not permitted to enter the western US states. Those states are administered by foreign soldiers and governments. America’s sovereignty has been destroyed. In 8 years those western states decide the time is right to declare independence. The Mexican Flag is raised in towns and cities all over the southwest. They call their new country Aztlan. Their independence is supported by the international community and countries like France, Russia, Cuba, etc have already officially recognized the new country. The United States and her few allies are furious. The US, Canada, and Britain, do everything they can to blog this move but they fail. After the war, the US military was left shattered, and the US economy was devastated. The US no longer has the resources to fight for and protect its own sovereignty.
This sounds like a nightmare senario. This is exactly what happened in Serbia. This is exactly where we in America are headed if we do not prevent this invasion of our country.
They do not need to invade us militarily. Through simple migration, in a few years they will gain a political footing that will render them impossible to remove. They are becoming a demographic majority. In some states they are gaining majority status very quickly. In other states across the country, they exist in such numbers that they can effectively fight off political measures taken against them. We are losing our country very quickly.
When the time comes to sell us out, the international community will be all too ready. If the issue of our soveriegnty ever becomes their decision then we are done for. Serbia has been betrayed. In that area Muslim Albanians are a terrorist movement. The Albanian nationalist movement has been pecking away at Greece, Serbia, Bosnia, and Macedonia for years now. In Macedonia, they kidnap people. Muslim Albanian militias pretty much run the northwestern part of that country. A westerner who walked in the streets of those towns after dark would be taking an extreme risk. In a few years the Albanians will attempt to gain more land in the region. Their hopes are of creating a Pan-Albania at the expense of their neighbours. Kosovo will in 5-10 years be annexed by Albania. It is going to happen.
I wish you luck Surbs!
Yankees go home!
“Serbia’s hands are tied, they can’t fight without the US coming down on them. They can’t speak out or they won’t be admitted to the EU. And when they take a western tact and try to diplomatically solve the problem -they’re ignored.”
But just watch, this is what is going to happen to you…and when it does oo my gosh everyone but trust me everyone will push you even further downand there will be no way back up. America is hated around the world …because everyone knows what America is all about, terrorisam. Only in America can one find people who actually think that everything their country does is for justice, democracy…but that is because their brains are washed out, and they cant see what is happening Americans fear their govermant otherwise they would not stand for the crimes they do and make excuses for. American govermant has done so much evil to everybody just out of inerest… I BETTTTT that one of demands for high ..leading roles in govermant such as vp … secertary of defense ..comander in chief … i bet one of the demands in constitution is that all of those need to be sociopaths, because there is no freakn way that a normal person could push and pressure others into douing the same something so wrong for so many people , wrong against any morals everything and end up calling it a unique case..but every case is unique and yours will be too …in my country we have a saying no kingdom lasts forever tik takkk your time is almost up…. and I hope you have at least 1/3 of will and strength Serbia and it’s people had while going thru crap you put her trhu.
@James, you are way off on your picture. You are comparing apples and oranges, sure they are both fruit but very different fruit.
Serbs have been trouble makers for a very long time. In fact Serbs are “not” natives to the Balkans, so by your argument, Serbs don’t have a right to Serbia either. Serbs moved to the former Yugoslavia region in the 6th, 7th century, they populated Serbia and now they call it their own. How is that possible?
I truly believe that you get what you deserve, and what goes around comes around.
Being a victim of Serbian prosecution in Bosnia I know who Serbs are, what they stand for and what they fear.
Kosovo deserves its independence and I am glad that all major countries are supporting it. Serbs can cry all they want, too late. They started this and we will end it.
I was always wonder why most of the conflict rigion see the UN as the last solution instead first. shame on UN
Now US,UK favored the human right and freedom of Kosovo Muslim, where the serb’s right there? More tough issue for them to deal with and perhaps another war. If tibet follows this way, the war will be inevitable.
KOSOVO is Serbia.
It’s hard to believe such an injustice has occured. Albanians in kosovo have lots of children, and the serbs are harassed until they leave; that is why the majority of the population is albanian.
Hawaii wants it’s independence…and what does the U.S. do? Ignores them.
Can you say hypocrites?
This is all soooo ridiculous!
AND “MUSTAFA”
what is yr point?
native americans are native to the US?
You don’t see them gaining independence?
Kososo IS serbias, 4 now, 4 ever.
Albanians endlessly talk of creating a “Greater Albania”
why is this being ignored?
Bad times are ahead…
