The Cossacks of the Don will help Serbia if Kosovo declares independence Front page / World / Europe 18.01.2008 Source: Rostov-on-Don, January 17, RIA Novosti. The Russian Cossacks of the Don region believe secession of Kosovo from Serbia is unacceptable and will assist in the event that Pristina proclaims independence, declared Vladímir Voroninon, deputy atamán of the Grand Army of the Don Cossacks, on Thursday. "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia, their native land. The country should preserve its territorial integrity," he said. “If Kosovo gets independence, the Cossacks will provide the necessary assistance to the Republic of Serbia and the Kosovo Serbs,” he said.
The secession of Kosovo would set a dangerous precedent that can lead the struggle for independence in Transnistria, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. "In the event that the independence of Kosovo is recognized, the Atamanes Council will meet to develop future (Cossack) Army policy with respect to Serbia," said Voronin.
"The Grand Army of the Don Cossacks cannot plan to take action of a military nature, but some unfettered Cossacks will very likely help their brethren in Serbia if hostilities begin," he said.

Nothing new. Russians came as mercenaries in 1998-99 as well. Some committed crimes. Some met their end. Unfortunately for them, they will not have a chance to prey on our civil population again.

The Cossacks are some of the most despicable and racist people in Russia today. Many of their leaders are something akin to New-Nazi's and they pretty much terrorize the Muslims in the regions they live in since they see them "spreading like rats". I saw a British documentary on a group of Cossacks a while back, and what shown was quite abhorrent. They would get drunk and hell while holding guns and threatening to kill the Muslims in their area. The Turkic people living around the area had to live in fear of these people...
Cetniks and Cossacks seem very similar to one-another.

What the hell do you know? If you're stupid enough to generalize and call an entire people despicable, then you shouldn't be even be allowed to participate in discussions of even the slightest intellectual calibre. Cossacks are people, among them are both good and bad just like any other ethnic group.

I am only speaking of the militant kind. I dont quite know what the Cossacks are, but the reports I have seen are not too endearing.

Do you know whats really despicable, the formation of the KLA and then having their leaders pretend to run Kosovo. Sorry perverse is the more apt meaning.

They can bring it on, anytime they like. We have our special forces that have been training for 7 years day and night. Do you really think the cossacks or your cetnis can stand them?

If these Cossacks are even half of what their predecessors were, I'd just love to have them in Kosovo in the event of a future war... they'd help put the Albanians where they belong, nazad preko Prokletija!

KFOR would eliminate them the same day they would enter.

LOL It's for quotes like that, that i'd love some day to see the west to redraw from kosovo. That would be a hell of a party. P.S. who do you refer to by "you would all end up dead", Do we have any kozaks here, or is it just you wishing the death to random viewers of the forum

Better having Cossack support than Bin Laden, who even visted kosovo and albania.
