I wonder whether the EU now regrets using its military muscle to create Kosovo.

No, they don't. They have created a small country who aspires to join Europe and Nato.
Contrary to Serbia who celebrated the Belgrade liberation day a month ahead of its real time ,with a North Korea style military parade, just to show Putin how much they love him.
Serbia and Greece are two nation with their stomachs in Europe and North America, but they hearts in Russia.
Albania and Kosovo are one nation with our stomachs and hearts in Europe and North America.
Understand?
Yes it is about kurds, but you talked about "all the muslims", stating that all the muslims do this and all the muslims do that and how they have a plan to "islamize the entire planet" etc. That is why i replied.
You have to realize that the muslims of europe are raised with a different culture than the muslims of the middle east.I'm saying that because i've lived in a country where christians and muslims have been working together for a very long time.You can't tell the difference between a christian and muslim albanian.Actually, most of the people i've spend the time with i didn't even know what their religion was, because just like they didn't ask me, i had no interest to ask them either.
Today's facts,
Religious of Kosovo: Muslims 94.7%.
Religious of Albania: Muslims 58.79%, Undeclared 13.79%.
Religious of Macedonia (FYROM): Muslims: 33.3%.
It was different yesterday.
...
This is not offend, only question, maybe you can say to us how many Albanians from Kosovo, Albania and FYROM are in ISIS now, maybe Kurds know better, in Internet can be seen high numbers, but not precise.
...
Serbia today is not medium rich country (only in bombing, 1999, estimated damage was at least $100 billion). Serbia, as Montenegro, is in the process of joining EU. But Serbia can pursue independent foreign and economic policy. Russia wants to buy agricultural products outside EU, in Latin America, Asia, etc. and Serbia. Today, every government is considering how to increase exports and create a business. Serbia can increase agricultural production and export more to Russia. And not only agriculture, other business area, too.
Many was asking me whether parade was necessity. It is 70 years since the liberation of Belgrade from Nazi. I do not know if the parade was needed but certainly it is a valuable jubilee.
We can read these days about possible entering ISIS fighters in south Europe, i. e. Balkans. Serbian army is third in the Balkans, after Greek and Romanian. Maybe in today's circumstances parade made sense, not only for jubilee, I think parade would be held and that Russian president had not come, his reason was related to the fact that in the liberation of Belgrade participated jointly Yugoslav People army and Soviet Red army.
...
And return to the Kurds, in Serbia Kurds are favorite and their struggle for national affirmation.
one more thing I want to remind you: There are muslims from Sandzak with ISIS too. Or they are not part of Serbia?Today's facts,
Religious of Kosovo: Muslims 94.7%.
Religious of Albania: Muslims 58.79%, Undeclared 13.79%.
Religious of Macedonia (FYROM): Muslims: 33.3%.

Good point Gorgonzola, lets keep it on topic.
It is exactly my understanding of Albania too.
Interesting new phenomenon is unfolding. Some Westerners are arriving now in Kurdistan to fight against ISIS.
Countries of Europe including Slavic ones are united against Russian aggression. Now SERBS either are the smartest or their hearts are in Russia. Do you think the west is stupid? If you stay close enough to Russia Sandzak could soon be part of Kosovo. Yes I know you are for Kurdish independence because of Turkey. I tooam for Kurdish independence for principled reasons.
Now let's not hijack this thread, open another one if you want the tirade to go on....
one more thing I want to remind you: There are muslims from Sandzak with ISIS too. Or they are not part of Serbia?
About your military army: We Albanians have the White House telephone number. We can call them and your armies will be a joke.

Did you watch football matches in Czech Republic or Slovakia these days? You could see banners in favor Serbia. Do you think drone with "greater albania" was good idea? Wrong. You can ask Czechs or Slovaks about it.
Russia has nothing to do with it. Serbs always had very good relations with Czechs, Slovaks and Poles. Slovak Lutheran pastor Tomasik, wrote words, which later became text for Yugoslav anthem: Hey Slavs.
...
Why do you here write about Bosniacs? They speak language which is very similar to Serbian, and we all understand each other, until yesterday it was all one language Serbian-Croatian. Do you think they love learn Albanian and forget their mother tongue? Or problem is because some scientists in last time claim that Bosniacs are descendants of Illyrians. What they have with Kosovo, unless you think of Muslim religious state, Caliphate etc.
In Serbia without Kosovo, live about 3.7% Muslims, mostly Bosniacs (there are about 15,000 Serbs Muslims, mostly children from mixed marriages where one parent is Serb). Several Bosniacs, citizens of Serbia went to ISIS, it was not big number. And state has adopted very strict law about people who go out to fight abroad (not only in ISIS).
...
I gave ranking first three armies in the Balkans according to estimates of analysts. What does have to do with the US army, which the ranked first in the world, we talk about Balkan armies. Regarding the phone number is ridiculous comment, things do not work the way you are talking.
...
Serbia enters in EU and it is a matter of time. Citizens of Serbia gave full support to parties advocating European integrations. Parties which advocate neutrality or some other integrations were not pass the threshold (5%). Serbia is European country and it is normal behavior its citizens. Although it is painful some European countries bombed Serbia in 1999, inflicted causalties and enormous damage.
Personally I'm for European federation, many times I wrote about it.
...
Everyone could see what I wrote about Kurds, and it is principled support to a brave people who deserve full national affirmation.
There are different type of muslims, the ones who are born that way,because they have inhereted it, the ones who convert religion during life, the ones whose religion was imposed with force by, let's say, another state or empire and others whose religion doesn't play any important role in their life, but still just consider themselfs to follow islam.But there are also violent and terrorist islamists, which is a disgrace of course.in the christian new testament we read
'πορευθεντες μαθητευσατε και κυρηξετε το ευαγγελιον πασα τα εθνη'
' now go, and teach, and preach the evangelium to all nations'
same is in Quran, only in Quran is more intolerant to infidels,
yet historically in the name of 1 god, genocides happened.
Its not just the albanians, but many other people from different countries are recruited secretly.There is also a big number of people from Serbia, Norway, America, Canada,Germany, England etc, like i already said.Albania has a poverty problem. Some ISIS recruiters are using the money as a tool to inspire the conscripts. Albanian government has admitted to social dimension of the phenomenon but poverty is a long battle to be wan. The government has stepped up its efforts by putting the imams who preach jihad in jail. I wander the ISIS fighters from the west what motivates them to enter that dangerous adventure. Generally the west has networks of welfare that support the individuals in generous way.
Did you think that screaming and shouting inside and outside your stadium during the whole match vs Albania "Kill and slaughter so that the Albanian doesn't exist" was a good idea?You can ask the entire world about it.Did you watch football matches in Czech Republic or Slovakia these days? You could see banners in favor Serbia. Do you think drone with "greater albania" was good idea? Wrong. You can ask Czechs or Slovaks about it.
How do you know which religious influence is going up and which is going down amongst Albanians?As far as i know Christianity and Atheism are on the growth within the Albanian population.Yes, and we all wrote about that more time. Enver Hoxha abolished all religions and declared Albania as atheist country. Although now the influence of Islam in Albania grows, Islam is much stronger among people in Kosovo and Western Macedonia.
In the society where I come from women are held in higher standard.
They are considered the symbol of beauty, intelligence and humanism. Many times they have exerted a lot of influence on the society.They are expected to bring to life the next generation after the present one. War causes a lot of traumatic brain diseases. How will they raise their newborn? Did you know that a female is a lot worth compared to a male? A female can bring to life 5 babies, but a male can 100 000. So a women must be protected to keep the humanity going.
I like to remind you a story: I think Bernard Show said ones that when Don Quixote learned how to read he become a gentleman. But when he started to believe what he was reading he became a laughing stock. Do you really believe the press when they claim that Kurdish female fighters are a nightmare for ISIS fighters?
ISIS fighters are a organisation where about 5 people have the ability to think. The rest are brainless criminals. They have no ideology or believes or education. They are simply crazy. They get exited by the smell of blood and the noise of battlefield, many intoxicated. Simply people left behind by the evolution. So if you think hey get angry when they see a female fighter then Either you or me has to be the Don Quixote.
The Kurds want to show civility by sending their women to the infantry?
I have heard imams from Sandzak who say that Serbian government has banned or closed archaeological sites for fear of the outsiders seen the truth. The truth is, as the imams claim, they are slavsized Illyrians. As you might know Albanians claim the same heritage. So if you continue demonizing Islam you might wake up, them wanted to join Kosovo. As for the language they will be allowed to keep the language they know. (This is not Albanian claim by the way. Its my personal claim).
The slogans; "Kosovo je Serbia" appearing as you saying in Czech Republic and Slovakia are not news for us. I was surprised though to see one in an Izraeli match. I have even seen one in Spain. There was not effort to remove it by the Izraelis. Were they Serbs living in Izrael or Izraeli I don't know.
I know there is a Slavic solidarity and that will continue, but regarding Kosovo they have no strength to change anything of its outcome. Slovaks have their own Hungarians and Checks have the Sudetenland. If Germans wake up and have no erection one morning, Slovaks and Checks knock at the Russian door.
I believe we will see more of them as desperation grows. Kosovo will get in NATO and Serbs will not dare to talk about attacking Kosovo, let alone doing anything.
Now, the bombing of Serbia by the west was among others the monetary debt you owned to them. They were worried they will never recover that money and they destroyed what they had given to you ,out of rage.
Now that famous Army you have enjoy all.
You keep that army to frighten Albanians or Croatians. Since with Greeks you are friends, so you are with Romanians we have to take notice that. So we have to keep some phone numbers. We have the number of Pentagon, Turkey and Germany I think.
Turkey's army alone is as big as Serbians multiplied by 15.
How do you know which religious influence is going up and which is going down amongst Albanians?

Good news from Kobane:
YPG general (Kurdish Peoples Protection Units)
'The victory of Kobane is a victory of all Syria'
http://www.greenleft.org.au/node/57602
"The resistance shown by us, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and factions of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), is a guarantee for defeating ISIS’s terrorism in the region."

Perhaps in an effort to give a satisfactory answers I crossed the line and if this is so I accept critique (I'm not attacking anyone, nor is it my style).
But everyone can see it all started with #160, where I did not even mention the Albanians, and where I quoted a Kurdish leader.
Believe me, I do not know why this had angered Albanians, link:
