Something from old forum archives (to spice it up in a new forum) -------
BibleRiot: Partition of Kosovo? ------------------------------------------------------------------ How do you people (Albanians and Serbs) feel about an eventual partition of the territory? What would be the areas that you would be most reluctant to lose ? The minerals, the coal, the churches, the population centres? Is a partition feasible ? Or if you are totally opposed to the idea, why, given the realistic alternatives ?

shpata: yes partition --------------------------------------------------------------- blow the mitrovica bridge up. northern half of city stays with serbia. southern-half in newly kosovo state. the line should be the present ethnic one. serbs would get 10-15% of the northern corner they occupy. the enclaves can flee to serbia or(their choice) stay in the newly albanian kosova country. there are albanians in southern serbia they have the same option.
no way will albanians want to be part of serbia.
rex362: Re: yes partition ---------------------------------------------------------------- zero....no cutting up kosova...many albanians also live north of the bridge...just that the bridge watchers dont let them go 2 their homes....
Bosniaco: Re: yes partition ---------------------------------------------------------------- Partition seems inevitable.
Actually, it's just like Cyprus. Ljuboten: re -------------------------------------------------------- What cities do Albanians live in Serbia? I know of Vranje, Bujanovac, Medj?? any other cities?
Fieraku: Re: re ------------------------------------------------------------ Presheva bujanovc medj vranje and some other cities in southern serbia.
if it goes like this Serbia will even loose more land.
CP6NJA: asf --------------------------------------------------------- This comment is directed to the initial question.
In terms of Partition, I would be for it if all of the northern half of Kosovo was made up of Serb Monastaries and Churches and all of our historical importance.
But,
The problem is that Metoh "Metohija" has the largest portion of Historical importance to the Serbs. And Metohiija is the Southern portion towards albania, which basically is the major problem. You cannot partition a region where the opposing sides are at the enemies borders.

Bosniaco: Partition -------------------------------------------------------------- The partition will probably be based on the population percentage. History will most likely no longer play any role.
It appears that a bunch of Serb politicians have also stated that cohabitation is only a fiction. I guess they thereby hint that partition may be the only way out.
Tito should have partitioned everything back in 1945, since he wasn't gonna live forever.
shpata: rex ---------------------------------------------------------------- youre dreaming. you wont get full kosovo. that means staying in this no sides win situation. you must let something go to gain your goal. the norther 10-15% of kosovo is serbian majority, why on earth would you want to have them? that means trouble and it wont happen.
presevo valley and the town in it are mostly albanian. the northern ones become minority but still albanians living so thats about 50-70,000 albs. slightly more than enclaved serbs. fair trade. you cant have it all never. serbs tryed to get all of kosovo, it stuck in their throats. dont bite more than your throat can sawllow. partition=solution.
Pirro of Epir: Re: rex --------------------------------------------------------- The problem here are the mineral resources that are located in north and the mixed up population.
May be we should agree to dislocate the population to certain areas and make possible that Kosova have access to the rich north.
Every one knows how sensitive is Europe in dislocating people but may be they have to do this time.
Albanians should have 90% access of mineral resources in Kosova otherwise it will be only political independence and not economicall one.
arbanois: Re:bibleriot ----------------------------------------------------------- partition would seam like a good idea when you look at the situation . the problem is that kosova has already been partitioned many times. i don't see it as a fair solution. still it has to be the kosovars that will decide not albs from albania "proper" . let's see what they have in mind .
i would have loved to see it as a land where two different nats coexisted. seams highly improable now.

Its a stain for you all,both serbs and albanians and to some extent its a disgrace for the whole Europe ! Based on the principal "divida et empera" ,they got what they wanted...yes I am talking about the westerns and the americans ! Why on earth do you all care about some stupid border,when you all lose ... the only winners in the this balkan conflict are those outside the Balkans ! I just hope that some day you will wake up and realise that when you are trying to "separate" yourself from the so-called "enemy" ,you just manage to make yourself a weaker .
God /Allah bless the Balkans and its diversity

Aadmin, the quick fix solution which the western nations were seeking was not the solution for kosovo. As time goes on, many will eventually realise that a viable or feasible solution for the interests for both parties will eventuate.
