President signs agreement with NATO into law

Rocky, you are one of the "sadistic and satanic" people who is filled with "hate and evil."

Serbia is willingly justifying NATO's bombing against Serbia back in 1,999.

Shame on him!

Nikolic has just been bribed!!!!!
How much money in your pocket Nikolic????
Your great great grandchildren will live off that dirty money.
The rest of Serbia will live with shame and poverty.
Diplomatic Immunity???
NATO can get away with more murder now but legally.

"Darkness falls and then there were none! Serbian people never united and never will be united! United we stand but divided we Serbians for sure will die! The fragmentation of Jugoslavia, the amputation of Srpska Krajina and finaly the occupation of Serbian Holy Land Kosovo for sure the mortal wound of Serbian Eastern Orthodoxy in the Balkans! How much longer will Serbian people linger in agony like this, well before the end of this new century we will be extinct and ancient history only for those who will care to remember us! Pretty much just like the Native American Indian people in North America we Serbians in the Balkans will be of the same fate! Now Serbia totally surrounded by sadistic and satanic hate and evil, Serbian cival leaders continue to be in a state of denial, like a very ill mind in the last stages halucanating and visions of life flashing by! So sorry I have to post my comments in this way but the news of Serbia just get darker and darker! To be condemned by evil and then to be contempted to the only one who loves you, Serbia for sure will die!!!

Drago, how you like me now?
Get ready to witness the reality that is to be, you little Chetnik & don't give us all that bull... That you are daydreaming of, it's boring! NATO in Serbia is the best thing that has happened to Serbia in the past 100 years!
If you love mother Russia so much then you should move back to your forefathers lands!

So, the famous 'Appendix B' of the Rambouillet agreement that demanded Serbia give up Kosovo and allow NATO in free of charge in 1999 is finally to be signed.

Just change FRY for Serbia.

"Serbia is willingly justifying NATO's bombing against Serbia back in 1,999.
(Guest, 19 February 2016 13:18)"

No, it's willing to move on and let the past be the past. Italy and Germany both joined NATO within 10 years of being bombed far more heavily in WWII than Serbia was bombed in 1999. If Germans and Italians can move on, why can't Serbs?

Logistic support is an euphemism for allowing unrestricted access and for granting immunity. Serbia of course always has been a transit route throughout its history. That is why so many always wanted to have a part of Serbia.

Tadic would have been hung for lesser agreement with NATO - what a sell out. I hope Putin snubs Nikolic - better still let Nikolic fly and on route Russia should cancel the invitation. Russia deserves better friends than SNS government.

Out of all the presidents Nikolic is the one to sign a deal with NATO into law. I thought he was anti nato anti west pro Russian. I guess his pockets just got fatter.

Drago, how you like me now?

NATO in Serbia is the best thing that has happened to Serbia in the past 100 years!

###

Ummmmm.... Not.

You should read the article, the McCain visit, and just about every other pronouncement emanating from BG.

There will be no joining of NATO.

This agreement pretty much assures it is NOT going to happen.

NATO got what it wanted... and Serbia stays neutral (while having the power to block transit participation on a case by case basis and/ or opt out).

It's a good deal.

If I was Albanian, I would be bothered by it.

If the Serb people let this go they will deserve to live under Nato boots,what the hell is the matter with them?they should take it to the streets,its nothing less than treason,Russia should have nothing to do with Serbia after this,they have had a history of this cowardice since Milosovic was given up to that Nato Kangeroo court.

(Principa, 19 February 2016 21:19)

I couldn't agree more!! I used to call Tadic a sellout for even using the word Nato, now look at this guy? Just to reiterate something I've said a million times, "Serbia does not have any politicians only sellouts and spineless cowards."

Northern Kosova is just that, the north of The Republic Of Kosova

##

Not really.

It's a frozen conflict and will remain so for a really long time.

I would sign it too.

Perfect compromise.

Let them transit. Nothign wrong with that.

Serbia still calls the shots (and can opt out of each event).

The world needs a united front against global radical Islamic terrorism.

What S now needs to do is enforce... and don't let it degrade into something more than what it was intended to be.

Great agreement!

Just my two cents:

with the creation and solidification of the Kosovo Armed Forces soon to happen, Serbia is signing this agreement so that NATO forces can be a buffer between the north of Kosovo and the Kosovo Army. They are putting in place this agreement in the eventuality of a worst case scenario. This might explain the words of Vucic a couple days ago about NATO protecting the Serbs (protection from whom? and why now?). A signal is being sent to the Kosovo leaders: You can have the army but if you try to go in the North, KFOR may intervene. The role of KFOR as a buffer between the two peoples continues.
(Reader, 19 February 2016 19:12)

Sorry to burst your bubble pal, however your 2 cents u can shove were the sun don't shine!
Northern Kosova is just that, the north of The Republic Of Kosova, and the inhabitants there will obide by the same laws that all inhabitants of Kosova will obide by, don't forget that the worlds super power said on many occasions there will be "NO" partition of Kosova, not one millimeter! Those agreements signed by Vucic were signed for excacty that, the north of Kosova will obide by the constitution of "The Republic Of Kosova"!
Yes the Serb inhabitants will have some autonomy however they will be governed from prishtina! So Cheers, to the new reality you are about to get struck by!!!

There will be no joining of NATO.

(factman, 20 February 2016 05:06)

I totally agree with factman here - it's a good deal for NATO. NATO already got what it wanted, so the only one to benefit from Serbia joining NATO would be Serbia by getting NATO's protection. Why would NATO want to protect Serbia, if NATO already got what it wanted?!

As for Kosovo and Albania, that is a good deal too. It means that Serbia has no voice in NATO's decisions and Albania is protected against any attack by Serbia if somebody crazy enough gets in power in Belgrade.

LK: Your point about moving on is well made but you are living in dream land. Move on from 1999? Some Serbs are still struggling to move on from 1389. My grandfather was a victim of the Germans in 1943 but I have many good friends from Germany. OK, that was 70 years ago but my mother (whose father it was) has always liked the Germans...........they were as pissed off with the Nazis as most others.

(Rocky, 19 February 2016 20:47)

LOL Rocky, now don't go doing the same mistake the Serbs did. Don't overestimate yourself. I didn't say anything about partition, just talking about stability. That is all NATO cares about, that Serbs and Albanians don't get at each other's throats again. Everything else falls under that. Helping Kosovo get independent and recognized is good because it stabilizes the region. Not allowing partition is good because it stabilizes the region. With the Kosovo army soon to be formed, not allowing the Kosovo army to go to the North is good because it stabilizes the region. According to NATO at least. But that would be a worst case scenario. Worst case scenarios are just that, probable undesirable events. It does not mean that they will happen. Look up the definition.
Now, you say the Serbs will obey the laws of Pristina, question is what if they don't? What are you going to do?

The Serbs strident love of NATO and wanting to join NATO and eu is all about wanting a new image. With Serbia going to compete in the Olympics with sovereign indepedent republic of Kosovo its like all Serbs want to be shown as the leaders of Kosovo independence and NATO and eu support.

Just my two cents:

Prince,
you're being far too harsh with Nikolic. He is just a useful idiot, not really knowing what he signed.

Russia should have nothing to do with Serbia after this,they have had a history of this cowardice since Milosovic was given up to that Nato Kangeroo court.
(Englishman, 20 February 2016 21:15)

Well, Milosovic was given up to that Russian court, since the Court was proposed by Russia, approved by Russia and with all judges approved by Russia as well. So, from the perspective of the most patriotic of Serbs, I don't see where the problem is since mother Russia is Serbia's strongest friend, or so we're told!

@factman - "The world needs a united front against global radical Islamic terrorism."

Tell NATO countries to stop arming&supporting Saudi Wahhabis, certain GCC countries and Turkey, then.

Well, Milosovic was given up to that Russian court, since the Court was proposed by Russia, approved by Russia and with all judges approved by Russia as well.

(icj1, 21 February 2016 08:13)

As far as I know, Ratko Mladic never recognized the court as legitimate, so that might be a hitch, in the minds of some of the most patriotic of Serbs. I know he's not a political leader, but he is considered a hero by some in Serbia. Also, who knows if said kangaroo court actually abides by all, or any, of the principles that Russia might have envisioned.

After what NATO did to Serbia? TRAITOR! S O B! {ROT IN HELL!

"President signed agreement with NATO into law" Its not worth paper its written on.This shameful act is equivalent in scope to one signed by Dragisa Cvetkovic in 1941.It still ring in my ears demonstration in Belgrade of that era " Better grave than slave"(bolje grob nego rob)NATO committed crime against Serbian Nation and that has to be paid for before any agreement can be signed with that criminal entity.Unprovoke attack and bombardment of civilian targets is against International law and United Nations charter.Kosovo was stolen from Serbia at gun point.Stolen property can never be legalized.

All is not what it seems. This is merely one move in a protracted game of chess. Military co-operation continues to exist between Serbia and Russia, that's not going to change.

bombardment of civilian targets is against International law and United Nations charter.
(lukebuyenovich, 22 February 2016 01:40)

Sure, that statement is correct, but in regards to the specific NATO bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999, the UN has determined that although some mistakes were made by NATO, there was no deliberate targeting of civilians or unlawful military targets by NATO during the campaign.
----------

Kosovo was stolen from Serbia at gun point.Stolen property can never be legalized.
(lukebuyenovich, 22 February 2016 01:40)

Of course stolen property can never be legalized, but do you have any example of a parcel of land in Kosovo that has been stolen and is trying to get legalized?

"Proxy" countries of the United States/EU/NATO and Russia/China, please pick your poison from one of the choices listed below:

3) LSD: Neutrality (if you think you can remain neutral you are
delusional already)

If you really think the US/EU/NATO/RUSSIA/CHINA really give a shit about Serbia or any other proxy country once it chooses an opposing side, please take select a DOUBLE dose of LSD.

Please make your selection soon. Voting for which side of WWIII you would like to be on will soon end as will everything else for that matter unless the West v East proxy wars are brought to an immediate HALT!

icj1 Challenge the accuracy of my statement.If you are a NATO representative I feel sorry for you. All events in regard to bombing of Yugoslavia are video taped and recorded.I suggest,you review all NATO press releases and conferences,unfortunately you will find that NATO INTENTIONALLY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGET:Bombing news media in Belgrade is a civilian target.As for stolen property;Very ground NATO standing on in Kosovo today is a stolen property from Serbia at gun point.

(jugoslavija, 22 February 2016 16:54)

Well, there was no reason to single out Boris because both him or Vlad approved all ICTY judges. Not to mention that Vlad was even more egregious, for example by approving SEVEN times (in 2001, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015) the enemy of Serbdom named Theodor Meron!

I have reviewed all NATO press releases and conferences as you suggested and did not find that NATO INTENTIONALLY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGET. Instead, I found that although some mistakes were made by NATO, there was no deliberate targeting of civilians or unlawful military targets by NATO during the campaign, which is the same as the UN's finding.

Do you have any source as authoritative as the UN that supports your finding that NATO INTENTIONALLY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGET during its bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999? So far the only evidence that you have provided in support of your finding is because you say so!

icj1 If you are sincere in finding the truth about NATO bombing Serbia you could go to Belgrade and find out yourself what was bombed.ICTY promised it would take the case regarding legality of bombing Serbia by NATO and targets NATO bombed.This would take place immediately after they complete criminal cases some time next year.In addition of 2 (two) targets I mentioned before NATO bombed the following civilian targets:Bridges,electrical grid,power houses,factories moving passenger train,learning institutions.This is all by International standard CIVILIAN TARGETS.ICTY allready alluded NATO may not be happy with court decision.We shall wait and see.War is dirty business no one benefit from it.Before any reconciliation is possible THE TRUTH out for everybody to see it

Well, Milosovic was given up to that Russian court, since the Court was proposed by Russia, approved by Russia and with all judges approved by Russia as well. So, from the perspective of the most patriotic of Serbs, I don't see where the problem is since mother Russia is Serbia's strongest friend, or so we're told!

You forgot to mention how democratic of Boris Yeltsin to approve the ICTY from a Russian perspective after bombing his own parliament.

Well, I did not single out Boris, because both him or Vlad approved all ICTY judges. Vlad even approved again and again that enemy of Serbdom by the name of Theodor Meron as an ICTY judge!

Well, there was no reason to single out Boris because both him or Vlad approved all ICTY judges. Not to mention that Vlad was even more egregious, for example by approving SEVEN times (in 2001, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015) the enemy of Serbdom named Theodor Meron!

icj1 Challenge the accuracy of my statement.If you are a NATO representative I feel sorry for you. All events in regard to bombing of Yugoslavia are video taped and recorded.I suggest,you review all NATO press releases and conferences,unfortunately you will find that NATO INTENTIONALLY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGET:Bombing news media in Belgrade is a civilian target.As for stolen property;Very ground NATO standing on in Kosovo today is a stolen property from Serbia at gun point.

I have reviewed all NATO press releases and conferences as you suggested and did not find that NATO INTENTIONALLY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGET. Instead, I found that although some mistakes were made by NATO, there was no deliberate targeting of civilians or unlawful military targets by NATO during the campaign, which is the same as the UN's finding.

Do you have any source as authoritative as the UN that supports your finding that NATO INTENTIONALLY BOMBED CIVILIAN TARGET during its bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999? So far the only evidence that you have provided in support of your finding is because you say so!

icj1 If you are sincere in finding the truth about NATO bombing Serbia you could go to Belgrade and find out yourself what was bombed.ICTY promised it would take the case regarding legality of bombing Serbia by NATO and targets NATO bombed.This would take place immediately after they complete criminal cases some time next year.In addition of 2 (two) targets I mentioned before NATO bombed the following civilian targets:Bridges,electrical grid,power houses,factories moving passenger train,learning institutions.This is all by International standard CIVILIAN TARGETS.ICTY allready alluded NATO may not be happy with court decision.We shall wait and see.War is dirty business no one benefit from it.Before any reconciliation is possible THE TRUTH out for everybody to see it
