[edit] On the article's neutrality

What kind of pro-Albanian propaganda is this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.66.169.100 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


These things have never happened:

  • In 1990, Kosovo’s parliament declared independence from Serbia
  • adopted a constitution for the new Republic of Kosova
  • Kosovo remained occupied by Serbia

While these are far from neutral:

  • continuously been an arena of freedom fights
  • Albanian people and their struggle for liberty
  • not one foreign country recognized the brave step taken by the Kosovar Albanians
  • bounded his life with Kosovo’s destiny
  • heroic fall of Adem and Hamëz Jashari

Thus, I am marking this article with totallydisputed tag. Nikola 13:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV?

really don't think this article is NPOV. Statements like: "led to the heroic fall of Adem and Hamëz Jashari" and the fact that the article is totally missing references makes this whole article questionable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.72.200.11 (talkcontribs) 11:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

That is the truth.
This article shows the truth of Kosovo. You must be dumb to now recognize that Kosovo wasn`t occupied by Serbs and they have making a lot of suffering to ethnic albanians.
90% of inhabitants in Kosovo are albanians, this shows everything who has occupied who!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.162.234.17 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Refs

I agree with NPOV comments. I've found some (reliable) references so I'll add them and then maybe make a start on cleaning up the rest. --Nickj69 17:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay done, someone else like to take a shot? --Nickj69 18:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

A diff., for context. - Ev (talk) 12:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seriously....

I was trying to find information about Kosovar politics when I ran across this page. Seriously; the man did so much to further Kosovo's independence why is this kind of fluff propaganda piece necessary. The writing is jumbled, slanted, rumor ridden and erratic, and it sounds more like the gushing of a teen heartthrob magazine than serious scholarly examination. A serious subject deserves serious, unbiased fact. Jashari's role in the conflict in Kosovo was important; too important to warrant a piece of fan fiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.163.28 (talk) 10:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Message to Serbs protesting

In postbellum periods, where the pursuit of war criminals is being held, the ones who stayed defending their country are the heroes, while the ones attacking (out of their country) are the criminals. I do feel bad for the Serbs, that they cannot, with full confidence, walk around with the ones they call their heroes printed on their T-shirts. But I can only say, pick your heroes better. To some people Hitler or Stalin are still heroes, even after counting the number of unnecessary deads these monsters have caused. On the other side you have freedom fighters like Ghandi: "Kill me, for I will not defend myself, if that means that I would have to kill you." This is not the kind of hero Adem Jashari was allowed to be. The guy had to fight, against a standing army entering Kosovar villages, he couldn't have possibly gone gently into that good night. If you need a hero, I'll tell you who your real heroes are: the Serbs who turned their backs on Serbian troups - like it happened in Bosnia - and defended their neighbours. Now if you please, let the Kosovar people celebrate their freedom of speech.
