nigelfe Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Not to mention the Serbs joining the Orthodox Russians in East Ukraine, Croats joining the Catholics in the west, and substantial number of Moslems from all over the Balkan joining IS.

Nikolas93TS Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Diplomatic solutions were made hastily and badly to end the wars in Ex-Yugoslavia as soon as possible, and often imposed upon signatories. Consequence was that plenty of old issues were not resolved but just put under the carpet. Or often (ab)used by politicians to gain political points and took attention from more important economic problems or their own faults.. Unless concentrated effort is made to solve them (and there are precedents in world) all those issues are going to resurface eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(source: The Economist) As long they go somewhere else to die I don't GaF, problem is that they are gonna return. 1st two groups might not have itching for terrorist action on home turf, but 3rd one is quite a problem. Village in Bosnia few months ago: BTW, as it shows that madness knows no bounds, there are Croats on Pro-Rus and Serbs on Pro-Ukr side also.

bojan Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) News what initially happened are scarce, but it looks like police had information about large gathering of armed people (which fitted with information they had that armed group from Kosovo crossed border) , tried to investigate/arrest them and was fired upon.Still ongoing.

bojan Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 From local source...One of the groups is headed by Mirsad Ndrecaj, known as Commander NATO with the Kosovo Liberation Army, and Bek Rizvaj, close associate of an influential person of the Democratic Union for Integration (DUI) party from Skopje. The group spent few days in Slupcane, trying to attract the local residents on their side. The sources claimed that the local residents showed no interest in the offer. The second group is headed by Sabit Geci from Kosovo’s Drenica, who according to unofficial information is in prison in Pristina and is loyal to Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hashim Thaci. The groups of Geci and Commander NATO have been in Kumanovo for few days, while those, who ordered the actions, are from Macedonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojan Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) It is an establishing of terrorist attack pattern that would lead to instability, intimidation of local Albanian inhabitants into cooperation, and potentially provoking Macedonian government to overplay their hand, in order to carve a piece of territory.Worked before, why change it? PS. Barely a month after Albanian prime minister talked about "One Albanian state where Albanians live". Color me not surprised.

bojan Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) 8 dead, more then 40 wounded, sporadic gunfire still going on. I also appears initial estimates about number of terrorists were too low, and some of them managed to escape police... Meanwhile Kocho Danay, Albanian politician and leader of "Natural Albania movement" said it is all Macedonian government conspiracy and "Only solution is all Albanians living in same country and escaping Macedonian tyranny."
